What the hell happened to the deep dish pizza? I just got a large size sausage and pepperoni and it was as thin as a regular thin pizza! I ordered sausage, cheese and pepperoni and for all the times we've ordered deep dish, tonight's was the thinnest one! Hardly any sausage, never saw but scanty pepperoni, and a very thick crust What gives??? Soooo disappointed, I might start ordering from Stateline or Langel's next time!!! read more

Listen every single time I come home and visit Chicago I will order beggars pizza. Since my family stopped eating pork years back it just warms my heart that they have turkey sausage or chicken sausage on the menu. Expensive for a pizza yes! The sausage could use some more flavor but beggars cheese, crust and sauce will win every time! read more

I bet the pizza would have been really good had it been hot when delivered, but it took a long time to receive and it was cold. Looked good though... read more

Great pizza very heavy with ingredients. Crust is crisp and tasty. Sauce is not the sweet kind. Plenty of other foods available

What happened to this place? it used to be good and now it's gone to shit at least I got a refund back. This pizza looks cheap and very disappointed that they give me this instead of thick. Looks like I'll won't return to this place and find another location. The only positive is the cashier name Anabel who is very professional and very pretty Latina. read more

Beggars Pizza - Too thin pizza - Pizza Near Me - Lansing, Illinois

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Customer service is HORRIBLE!!! Ordered pizza at 12:30 pm and I was told my pizza would arrive by 1:30 pm-1:45 pm the LATEST. Mind you we old ordered a medium pizza and didn't get it until 1:55 pm!!!!! Pizza was cold when it was arrived and this place is 10 minutes away. Called to complain about it being late and the the server Yasmine was RUDE! Told me that the delivery time she gave was just an "estimate". Ridiculous and never ordering from here again. read more

Food was ok. Customer service was terrible. From the second that I walked in with my 9 year old son, it seemed like the staff was irritated that we decided to eat at their restaurant. No greeting. Scolded because we didn't know to walk around to an entirely different counter for their express dine-in service. No appropriate beverages for kids that weren't two liters of pop. The server practically tossed our food on the table and didn't bother to ask if we needed anything else. That's wild because I pre-paid a 20% tip. We just moved to the neighborhood and we were looking forward to bringing our friends and family here for celebrations and such. Now? Not so much. What a disappointing experience. I'm sure the owner will reply with all the apologies, but I respectfully ask that the owner channel the energy it would take to respond to my comment into training the staff on treating the customers with kindness and respect versus acting like we ruined their day because we dared to show up, pay for our food, and tip. Very disappointing. read more

I ordered a pizza on Yelp and got my confirmation that they received my order told me what time to pick up I was there at the time they took my husband credit card for pizza I got there no pizza for me this has happened morel than once I did like your pizza but to much damn drama please refund my money........... read more

The pizza was great everyone enjoyed it. The crust was perfect the cheese was just amazing and the other toppings were fantastic.

This is how I got my pizza and it was delivered. I called and requested a soda and didn't get the paper plates and condiments. I called back and they would not refund me my $2.99 for a damn 2 Liter that I didn't get and on top of that my pizza was everywhere but on the damn crust. I am highly disappointed with this location that I have been going to for years!!!! read more

After being unable to be accommodated with our large party at a nearby restaurant, we decided on this Beggars location on a whim. We are SO glad we did! Located in an old movie theatre the location and atmosphere is very unique and delightful. Our server, Katie, was incredibly friendly, attentive (but not in annoying way!), and just all around excellent!! On top of that, the food was good too!! We will definitely be back, very interested in the music nights on the original organ, and will always hope and ask for a Katie table! read more

Went to pick up my pizza last night; it was so good. They truly do lay it on thick. The box was very heavy. Three of us only ate half of it. I had a family size sausage, mushroom, and green pepper. read more

Came here for a birthday party with a large group on Christmas Eve - and it went well. The kitchen was really backed up, and even though we pre-ordered our pizzas an hour before our arrival, they didn't come out until about a half-hour after everyone arrived. Oy. But our server was nice and kept our drinks filled. Pizzas were fine - I liked the stuffed the best, of course. :D Wished the mushrooms were fresh instead of from a can though. But the reason this gets 4 stars (instead of the 3 I would've left based on the kitchen delays) is because of their incredible organ player! What a delight! This guy was amazing to watch and kept everyone entertained during the evening. The organ is unbelievable, with so many interesting elements throughout the space. Very cool and very unique. Would happily come back here whenever this musician is working! read more

Worst service ever. Jessica was the manager. Not sure it could be called managing. Place an order at 5:02pm. Usually pizza takes an hour. Called at an hour 15. Told that the orders are backed up and it's taking an hour and half. Wait until 2 hours call again. It will be there shortly. 10 minutes later it shows up. Food is cold. Call back again. Told they can remake it but it will be another 2 hours. Are you kidding?what exactly is being managed. Because it's not the food or the employees or the service. read more

My complaint is more for corporate I think but how is it that in 2022 you cant simply order a pizza on their website never works I always say well f them because aurelios,waldos,dominos,pizza hut, & also papa johns are all on the same street like do better you know a guy should be able to order online in 2022 every other site is quick and easy keep up with the times read more

Last time I had deep dish (from somewhere else), I wasn't a fan. Beggars is amazing though! Hot, fresh, and delicious! read more

Beggars Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Lansing, Illinois

You order at the counter,you seat yourself,you have to purchase a 24oz or 2liter of pop no fountain drinks,you have to pay tip at the counter before you even get waited.trust me don't go you will be very disappointed read more

Not a huge fan of this place. I grew up on Giordano's and the fact that I was so desperate for deep dish that I had to order some from Beggar's did pain me greatly. I give them an extra star for the good portion size but I don't like deep-dish how they make it if mine was made correctly(i posted a picture). The only other deep dish I know that has more crust than toppings comes in a Lunchable and is nowhere near $20. I'd much rather buy that for next time. read more

Beggars Pizza - All the yellow is crust, this is supposed to be a deep dish! - Pizza Near Me - Lansing, Illinois

Ok, so maybe I shouldn't be so critical considering a group of us came for the $8-something lunch buffet. But if I were to speak strictly on food quality, it definitely is lacking. It's what you can expect from buffet food sitting in chafing dishes that were not catered to... Burnt/dried out pizza, over cooked pasta, unseasoned vegetables, dessert cookie pie that was not cooked evenly (burnt at the crusts and a gooey mess in the middle). I tried my friend's beer. I'm guessing it was borderline skunked, as it stung in my mouth and left a pungent aftertaste. On the brighter side, what I did like about the place was it's character. Is it's built into an old theater, so it has a fun personality. If you want to fill your stomach for cheap, this is the place to be. read more

The ambiance was calm, the place is old theatre which has been made into a restaurant. Food was great every and service was good. Though the area seemed to be little dull. read more

Probably the lowest rating I've given in a while. I'll just cut to chase. Parking is decent, they have there own lot which is a plus. Weren't really greeted when we came. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. The restrooms were a big disappointment, which I what mainly caused the low rating. I went to the men's room the same time my wife went to the lady's room and we both came out disappointed in the lack of cleanliness. I was shocked to find the lady's room was lacking as a lot of times it's us guys that mess our bathrooms up lol. The food was good overall. Had wings and reg crust pizza. Was not "to die for" but good. They honored my coupon on the yelp app for a free garlic bread and that was kool. I think they have some things they could tidy up . read more

My husband swears by this place. The only bad thing I have to say is that they don't honor coupons nor will they accept the check-in offer for free garlic bread. At least that is what I was told when I was paying for our Pizza. That was a waste! read more

Good pizza, good service. Tasty sauce. Had a stuffed and it's delicious. Order ahead it takes 45 minutes to cook

Oh the memories.....I miss this place so much. Beggars Pizza has by far the best thin crust pizza. I can't say to much about the staff I mean its really hit or miss with them but I can deal with the staff as long as my pie is amazing as it always is. I come home once a year and this is one of the places I stop at as soon as I get off the highway....cant wait to see you in August of 2013 Beggars Family!!!! read more

VERY RUDE MANAGER! Ya might want to order from another beggars if ya don't want to kick someone's ass here. Pay where you're actually respected for spending your money. Lol take my advice, if not good luck. read more

This is my first go to place to get my premium pizza fix. Every time we order, the crust is perfect, the sauce is just right and the pizza is loaded up with toppings. Here's what we get - a medium or large with extra cheese, sausage, mushroom pepperoni and ground beef - the thing weighs a ton and is well worth it. I am such a carnivore and dang, I get totally stuffed like a roasted pig with an apple in my mouth. I will say that the Lansing location makes the best pizza. The Dyer and Crown Point locations are a bit of a let down. read more

Really surprised at this beggars. Been ordering for years. This time I had a delivery through door dash only to receive a pizza that's was doughy and not done. I called and spoke with the manager(who is absolutely the worst) and he told me to send him a picture text of my pizza so he could look at it smh. I still texted him a picture and he said "oh all of our pizzas are cooked this way". Now remember I've been ordering from here since 2006 and never had this type of problem. So sad to loose a faithful customer over being cheap! read more

Well my brother didn't listen to me and ordered another pizza from Beggars. This time it was a family size with sausage and onion with a 2 liter of Pepsi. Price with tax, and delivery was $30. Then add a tip to that. This time the crust wasn't rock hard like cardboard. It was more rubbery tasting. Very hard to to chew through. This was what was supposed to be a THIN crust pizza. I wonder if the owners ever try their own pizza? read more

After about 40 years, my business with this Beggars has now come to an unfortunate end. I called in my pizza order this evening, & asked if curbside were available. I was assured that it was. Today I had my grandson with me, who has severe autism. Some days he's better than others. However, today was not a good day for him, & I knew that it wasn't feasible for me to leave him in the car, or take him inside. I was told that my order would be ready for curbside in 45 mins. I arrived about an hour later, & called from the curbside/pickup lot. I was then told "we don't have curbside today". I told the individual that I'd specifically asked (in fact- I'd asked TWICE just to to clarify) if curbside were available, & had been assured that it was. I then also mentioned that I had a young child with me that didn't allow me to come inside. I was interrupted & abruptly told to "hold on". About a couple minutes later, the individual returned & just said "we don't have curbside today". Not even an apology. I told her to cancel my order & left. This is extremely unfortunate. The pizza here IS good, & as stated above, I've been a customer for YEARS. Over the years, I've noticed that the clientele has become more diverse. A GOOD thing, IMO- business is business. However, I've noticed that with the diversity, the customer service here has GREATLY declined over the years. The employees are often abrupt & unwelcoming. If the thought behind this is that not everyone needs to be treated fairly & professionally- THINK AGAIN. It would be a shame if the doors of one of the original Beggars locations has to close because people choose to go elsewhere for better customer service. Money knows no race, sexual orientation or color, & spends the same everywhere. read more

Beggars Pizza - Large Stuff Sausage and mushroom - Pizza Near Me - Lansing, Illinois

Beggars pizza has a certain standard and this location does not have it. I'll start with the quality of their pizza. It's frozen, it's not thick, their cheese is runny, and their sauce is watery. The hospitality in my dine in experience was awful. They've created their own system called "express dine in". This is a made up concept that literally doesn't exist anywhere else except maybe fast food chains. Basically they've taken the waiter experience out of the equation and make you order at the counter and tip before you've even received your food. They also do not have iced beverage drinks (you know in like glasses like normal restaurants ) and force you to drink out of plastic bottled drinks. The entire point of this location is its aesthetic of being inside an old movie theater. Why you are chasing people away from this I will never understand. The vibe I got from this place is that they don't want you to dine in at all. I challenge management to go to any other Beggars pizza, (may it be Oak Forest, Mokena, Orland Park, etc...), try their pizza and try to tell me that yours doesn't taste completely different. What an embarrassment. The people of Lansing deserve better than this. What a waste of space and lack of effort to do at least the bare minimum in operating a restaurant. I feel sorry for anyone that works here and has to deal with these absurd policies. I am by no means upset with them. Management simply has lost their minds. read more

Ordered pizza and could believe how unbelievably salty it was. I eat pizza all the time and never experienced this. Not sure if they added salt or changed products to ones with additional salt but I was extremely dissatisfied... read more

My kids and I sampled the lunch buffet at about 12:45 p.m. The salad bar featured some very fresh chopped romaine lettuce with topping choices that included egg, two kinds of cheese, croutons, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives and cottage cheese. About seven different pizzas were featured and were kept toasty on a large hot plate. A small pasta station was in the corner. My son, (who will eat almost anything) decided to skip the pasta station because the sauces looked like they had not been freshened in a while. Your pizza is super, but I do want to offer my humble suggestions to Beggar's Pizza: 1. Add some toppings to that salad bar! Mushrooms, green onions, bell peppers would be a great start! Obviously, you have that in your inventory! 2. Label the pizzas on the buffet...freshen the pasta and the sauce. 3. Paint the interior! The old paint job give the impression it is dirty when it isn't! Also, while you are at it, remove the Christmas décor from around the pendant lights! Server Kelly was awesome! Ask for her section. I want to love you! Really, I do! read more

Great Restaurant for Families! My family AND my in-laws love their pizza...I think it is average (but I prefer pizzas with a sweet sauce)--they all think I'm crazy lol. The restaurant itself is very cool and has a unique vibe...it used to be a theatre. It's a great environment for a family dinner to keep kids entertained (without feeling like you are in Chuck E Cheese). read more

Today I called Beggar's Pizza in Lansing Illinois to report the pizza I ordered and paid for was undercooked. I told the manager I was not asking or expecting another pizza. I just wanted to inform the store the product I received was not up to its usual standards. The manager was arrogant and rude. He concluded our conversation abruptly without an apology or acknowledging there MAY have been an error. Without considering my words or concern, he asked if 'I wanting Beggar's to prepare my pizza overcooked' and implied I was not being reasonable. I am entitled to express my likes or dislikes seeing I paid my money for the product. It was not gifted to me. read more
