The delicious food, impeccable service, made coming home to a favorite place great" . From the moment I arrived until I left, I felt welcomed, the food and the service good.

My first experience with Beggar's Pizza, and it was perfect. A friend who lives in Lansing had recommended Beggars several years ago and I just hadn't gotten around to trying it yet. But I'm working in Hammond, my hotel isn't far from Beggars so I decided to give it a try. I ordered online for pickup, and my pizza was ready at the quoted time. Parking was easy, at the side of the building. The carry out entrance is at the rear of the building. I ordered a small deep dish with red onions and mushroom. I had considered ordering extra sauce and extra cheese because some of the reviews had mentioned that the cheese and sauce were skimpy. But there was no need to order extra, there was a generous amount of both cheese and sauce. My pizza was delicious. It was perfectly baked- neither too light nor too dark. And I am very picky about my pizza "bake." While I ordered my pizza for carry out, this would be a fun place to dine it. The building is very unique and would offer a nice atmosphere to enjoy a meal. When I picked up my pizza the employees were very friendly. It appeared that they were doing a brisk carry out business. Very happy with my experience here.

Pizza was overcooked, and tough. I am beyond pissed! Who wants hard, overcooked pizza . The cheese was so hard when you bite it, it was separated from the crust!

Family celebrating 90th Birthday @ Beggars Pizza in Lansing, Illinois on a Beautiful Sunday evening. Last minute plans but Everything worked out Great. The Food was Delicious and the service was awesome . I've never been to a restaurant that has transformed an old theater into such an incredible establishment; when I tell you that it is a True Gem it is.

Good environment, good customer service, seems like a cool spot to come with friends or family to eat and hang out. We got food to go but next time I'm in town I definitely want to sit down and eat here and get the full experience.

I wasn't sure what to eat and then I encountered this place. It felt right to me…read more My significant other and I walked inside and unfortunately table service wasn't offered. I picked up a free menu and saw what they had. We decided to do a Carry Out order and then went to the counter to order. From the Local Favorites section, we got a Small 12" Pepperoni Lovers for $13.45. It stated Start with our homemade thin crust pizza covered with our signature sauce topped with a layer of pepperoni, then cheese and topped with more pepperoni. From the Salads section, we got a rico's House Salad for $6.25. It was Crisp lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, green peppers, ham and American cheese. In the same section, it stated All salads include your choice of dressing: House made Italian, French, 1,000 Island, Honey Mustard, Ranch. We chose Ranch. The ORDER, COLLECT & SAVE section stated With each pizza, carry out or delivery, you will receive a Rico's Exclusive Coupon. The Hot Sandwiches section stated Served on a toasted french roll. I went with a Triple Cheese for $4.50. It was Provolone, Swiss and American cheeses on dark rye bread served hot. My significant other got a Triple Cheese as well. I sat down while I waited. Our order was ready fairly fast. I was excited to try everything. All we had to do was get back to our place. The Pepperoni Lovers was beautiful. I had to admire it before I tried it. It was very tasty. The rico's House Salad was okay. It wasn't worth getting, though. We got a Rico's Exclusive Coupon with our pizza, so that was cool. The Triple Cheese was not what I expected, but I enjoyed it. I ended up eating some of my significant other's Triple Cheese and I enjoyed it as well. The service was alright. I didn't have any issues. Overall, I'm glad I tried this place. I had a solid experience. I would probably go again in the future. Date of visit: 06/01/25

You will be waiting, and yes, I was PISSED, but the service of Jamal made if better. As I was waiting all I saw was him coming back and forth dealing with angry people helping out the best he can to calm them down. The food was good, and I had to wait. Yes, I could've asked for a refund, but I'm sure nobody would've ordered my turkey sausage, mushroom, and garlic pizza so I just waited. I would suggest trying to get the pizza done closer to the pickup time we're allowed to pick. I would also suggest customers should have more patience especially with folks dealing with your food. JAMAL did the job, and folks left out with a smile...

I ordered a pizza at 1PM, 2 hrs before the Bears game. The got the order it was wrong. They said they'd remake it, and they were putting it in the oven so it would be ready when I return. Got there at 2 PM... I DIDN'T LEAVE UNTIL 330, AND NEVER GOT MY PIZZA! The place was packed, like we were literally on top of each other while they kept giving everybody random times of waiting... Meanwhile the staff is watching the game CHEERING! So I gave up and asked for my money back! The professionalism has alway lacked, but now it's ridiculous! Hire someone to run this because we deserve better treatment!!!

Their sandwiches are sold as half or whole, I'd say 8 inch & 16 inch if I had to guess. My personal favorite is the Mancino's club; warm ham, turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce & tomato all on a fresh baked grinder roll. You simply have to try one. As for the pizza, Mancino's has long been available at village events, from fairs to football games. In fact, I have long supported Mancino's because of their involvement in the community. Is it my favorite pizza place, no. However, I've never had a bad slice. And their doughknots are a great appetizer/side - pillowy soft pizza dough knotted and doused with garlic butter and parmesan cheese... what's not to like about that? I've only done takeout but the counter service has always been courteous. Overall, a great neighborhood place for sandwiches and pizza and I enjoy knowing that they are involved locally.
