    First time here at this location to sit in and have lunch, since I work near by. We have ordered delivery before as well. Service was friendly and helpful. I went in, not to busy, but they didn't have any Pepperoni slices ready, and I couldn't wait 15 extra minutes on my lunch break, so I tried the Italian beef slice and it was good and I ordered a extra cup of peppers on the side. Not bad but a little expensive for just a slice and no drink or anything. At least I could get a small cup of ice water. Might be back, if in the mood for slice.

    Slice of Deep Dish Sausage Pizza

    Beggars Pizza is a short walk from Union Station so we stopped in after getting off a train. The guy behind the counter was super friendly! We were able to get pizza by the slice and a salad. The pizza special was a large slice of sausage and vegetable pizza. My husband ordered a slice of sausage deep dish. We split a Caesar salad and got two sodas although it looks like beer is available. The restaurant is a little run down and based on the traffic when we were there my guess is the majority of their business is from weekday lunchtime. Overall, if you are at Union Station and want to go somewhere nearby, give Beggars Pizza a try.

    Small pizza

    Apparently Beggars changed the size of their delivery pizza without letting anyone know or posting it on their menu - but did not change the prices. THIS is disrespectful for a size small pizza! It looks more like an individual sized pizza! NOT cool Beggars - not cool at all! :((((

    Great pizza, good prices, fast and friendly service and the other items are also good. People have big opinions on pizza here, but you can always get people to agree on beggars.

    Nasty trash garbage..

    I'm from Connecticut where the beast pizza resides..in my travels I stopped here for one slice and the worst nasty shot box pizza I ever had in my life that i wouldn't even feed to my dog..hear a lot of raves about Chicago pizza but it's sub par...47 of the 48 states don't know what a real pizza is.. Your food is truck stop garbage!!!!!! Negative one star

    Deep dish spinach slice

    Always busy during lunch time. Salads are made fresh to order but pizza slices are hot and ready to go. I grabbed a deep dish spinach slice and it was pretty good. We were told that if we grabbed something fast and brought it back to class that we could get out early. Leaving early is always a plus. Most of us grabbed a slice of pizza.

    Decided to check out Beggars since I was in the mood for some pizza and this location is right next to Union Station and my office. I knew nothing about it before going in. I was very pleasantly surprised. It is a very large restaurant with plenty of seating and they have pre-made slices to save you a lot of time. I went with a couple of pre-made slices, one deep dish and one regular so I could try both and I thought they were pretty good. Perhaps not as good as some of my favorite places but a darn fine meal. Each slice was around $4 or $5 each so I think my total lunch was around $10 which is pretty good for an ample amount of food downtown.

    very disappointed in my order I ordered a medium sausage pizza with half onion and green peppers. the onions and green peppers were just thrown on top of the pizza instead of cooked into like it supposed to be. Me and wife order from here several times and this was a very disappointing pizza

    The pizza has 4 toppings and it does not bend when I hold it up in the air because the crust is burnt hard.

    I loved their pizza until 1 week ago. I got a pizza with the crust burnt on the bottom, it was crunchy like a cracker. I did notify them that I wasn't happy with it. I went back 2 weeks later giving them another try, the pizza was cooked properly but I think they're using a different pizza dough or they're making the crust too thin, it was crunchy like a cracker or cheap dough, it was like cardboard. The pizza needed some seasoning (cumin, oregano Italian seasoning) it tasted bland. I used to be a Home Run Inn pizza lover and will go back to Home Run Inn pizza because I don't like the cardboard dough and bland taste @ Beggars lately. , I've been eating here for the past 2 years but something has changed behind the scene.

    One Slice of Deep Dish Cheese Pizza and two slices of Thin Crust Cheese Pizza

    I would really rather give it a 3.5 but oh well! Anyways, it's really convenient location because it's right next to Union Station and is a nice quick bite to eat. The pizza is probably better when fresh, but unfortunately I got it cold by the slice. While I didn't think the "thin crust" (it's not really thin crust) pizza wasn't great, I thoroughly enjoyed their deep dish pizza. Service was quick but I did have to ask to get a code for the bathroom. There is a medium sized seating area inside too with some flatscreens for watching games. Overall, I'd go back for that deep dish especially if I was taking a train out of union station. And yes, they do "lay it on think" like their slogan says lol.

    Attention Amtrak riders, this location is right across the street from Union Station! I was excited to learn I could get pizza right before my train ride and even better, they sell it by the slice! No waiting an hour! Yessss! Pizza was delicious!!!

    Finally finally FINALLY!!!! I got here and tried the pizza! This has been on my Chicago food bucket…read morelist ever since it opened. We ended up doing a walk-in on a Sunday night and showed up at 8 PM one hour before close. This worked out for us because we got a really good seat after only waiting for 20 minutes. Service is good and timely- the hostess was super kind and helpful. We started with some cocktails- a Negroni & a spritz (both were good & pretty strong). Then we split the Caesar salad and a pizza with half sausage/olive and mushroom/onion. Yeah, the pizza did blow me away- the crust is perfectly crunchy and so so thin. I wouldn't even describe it as traditional tavern style pizza because I think it's a really crunchy crust- but it's definitely wayyyyy better than Dimi Dimi (that's the most comparable crust imo). The sauce has a slight spice to it, and the whole pizza just feels very layered in terms of flavorful profile. The sausage was also spicy but very good and I absolutely loved the mushroom and onion duo. Sometimes when you go to a certain pizza places, it doesn't feel worth it, but all the ingredients felt elevated here and the pizza had an elevated taste. The Caesar salad had a nice light dressing and a ton of cheese. I wish that the lettuce had a bit more of a crunch to it, but they seemed to use butter lettuce. The inside feels like a classic Italian joint, but it's very small and simple Overall, so glad that I finally went and although it's not a place that I would go regularly because I live far, I would definitely come back!

    If you love cracker thin tavern style pizza, you should absolutely try pizzamici…read more The pizza tastes fresh, the crust is perfect, the pepperoni is halal and phenomenal. I could eat a whole pie by myself I think.. its that addictive. The cheese pie is really good too and the entire pie tastes fresh with great ingredients. Service was super fast and the ambiance is small, but cozy inside. Truly recommend to try tavern style in Chi!

    Excellent service. Bar seating…read moreTable seating. 3 TV where they show sports. They showrd world cup games. Monday - $1 chicken wings. The wings are double fried but the meat stays moist. Big bang buffalo- standard buffalo. Can't go wrong. Hot honey- pretty good, honey flavor, some sweetness Garlic galaxy glaze- this is really good if you like garlic flavor. I would get this again. Bayou in the sky- super super good. I would get this again. Hint of spice, hint of sweet. Carolina bbq- tasted like straight deli mustard. I would pass. The pizza, even though they advertise Detroit Style pizza, their take is more like Focaccia style pizza. They provide nice crunch, not enough sauce. Pretty airy dough. Drooling mushroom- they offer lots of mushrooms on top but the rest of the pizza was not too great. Next time, I would get Ham Radio- pepperoni, bacon, sausage, got and sweet pepper.

    Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish.

That's at the tone for what became unforgettable night. Had the space debri salad which is basically a Greek salad with potatoes and I think in Italian vinaigrette Soooooooooooo for it!!! So delicious After getting it, my buddy had to get one too haha One of us had the moonwalk cheese, we go out for a lot of pizza together, and he said it was he thought his favorite of anywhere. Another one of our crew got the pepperoni pile up loved. And I got the sweet and salty space candy pizza With bacon, pineapple, pickled red onion, goat cheese, sambal. Genius, the goat cheese, instead of ricotta was the move for this pizza! All the flavors worked in perfect harmony.Nothing short of amazing. Cozy spot, super cool atmosphere, couple of old school arcade games like ninja Turtles let's goooo We had so much fun. The drinks were absolutely excellent as well. Oh my God cannot forget this drink program. Galactic gift basket and Jedi mind trick sooo fire. Speaking of perfect harmony, everything at sharpies coexist in a lovely harmony from the all the staff, to the vibe/ambiance and absolutely killer pizza and food. WILL BE BACK! Check em out!
