If have found if you ask 5 people in Chicago where to go for the best pizza, you will get suggestions for 5 different places. While I certainly haven't tried them all, this place is my favorite. It's all about the deep dish here, it's very biscuit like in texture, but still crispy. There are layers of toppings and cheese it's wonderful. I will be honest this place was my first time trying a deep dish. I have had several since and I found this place still holds at number one. It's a really large restaurant so I doubt there is ever a wait (we never had one) and their lunch buffet was a great way to sample everything. read more

Beggars Pizza - Tasty Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Oak Forest, Illinois

This pizza is so good. I just hate the fact that it's so far from me. I used to live very close but now all I have are memories... I'm a plain cheese n sausage type of gal so I can't comment on all the other toppings. If you're going to dine there make sure you try the bread w/cheese filling and lots of marinara sauce. The atmosphere is so nice, usually there's the neighborhood people, everyone knows each other. This is by far MY favorite pizza. read more

Pizza isn't terrible but is expensive because you pay per ingredient, ends up costing way too much for a pizza with basic toppings. The main reason that I will NEVER give my business to this store again is because of the way I saw a manager (Shanna) berate an employee in front of customers and other employees. It was was so horrible, unprofessional and unnecessary that I canceled my order and walked out. The girl she yelled at couldn't have been more than 16 and she was humiliated over a customer not knowing the difference between a stuffed pizza and a deep dish pizza and ordering the wrong thing then blaming her for their ignorance. The manager's response was to yell at the girl, demand her name tag and threaten to send her home. The worst thing was when the manager angrily sneered loud enough for us to hear, " I swear I can't with you! Are you retarded?". Yes, she said that word!!! I was so angry that I had to leave fast. We all have bad days and say things we regret but that was completely unacceptable and I hope the store manager or corporate deal with this verbally abusive woman. Update: Actually yes it DID happen and while I am indeed the mother of a former employee I don't see what that has to do with my review. I am not surprised that nothing will happen to that manager nor am I surprised that the employee that was yelled at or the other employees that witnessed it didn't say anything. I don't know why they would, what good would come from them admitting their manager is a bully? My review was to call out her behavior and make the community aware. Watch the tape again or maybe show it to the parent of the young lady that was humiliated. You can downplay this or deny it if you want but my hope was that you'd fix it. Oh well... read more

We had a deep dish Chicago style pizza for the very first time. WOW I could only eat two pieces. All I can say is I liked it and this place was fun as we went with relatives and their kids that just moved here. read more

I should've left when I heard the waitress repeat my order wrong from her notes and didn't correct anything once I repeated myself. DEFINITELY not the best OR top location of the franchise! Pizza was wrong, undercooked / baked, but the crust was much like cardboard!!! A complete waste of $80. read more

Some of the best pizza you can find on the south side. They "Lay it on thick", which is probably referring to your love-handles if you eat Beggars regularly. Official pizza of the Chicago White Sox. They also have really good wings. read more

Do you like burnt pizza? Because they serve burnt pizza. We're big fans of Beggar's Pizza. We used to order take out from their Lansing, IL location and recently been picking up at Plainfield. After a busy day in Orland Park we were excited to get to the Beggar's in Orland. At the other two locations you consistently received the same super cheesy, very tasty pizza. Orland Park burns their pizzas. Ours arrived at the table burned on the edges, a darker crust than we prefer, and the cheese cooked until it had browned in several spots. I know this is an option on the menu but at Orland they prepare it this way without asking. After I received ours I began to look around the room and realize all pizzas were cooked in this manner. It completely changes the taste. You go from Beggar's Pizza to cheap bar pizza. I would have asked to have it corrected but we were hungry and tired. The thought of waiting another 20-30 minutes was too much for the family. So we choked it down and left. We'll avoid this location in the future. read more

It's my pleasure to give credit where credit is due. We're always quick to complain when things don't go according to our standards, so I must say that our server (Kim) was an absolute gem - she was very cordial & personable, great attitude and performed her job exceedingly well, making our dining experience a happy uplifting treat. She made us feel warm and special as if she was there just to please us alone to the best of her ability (and that she did!) ~ a true reprentative of "The Server Makes the Meal". So thank you Kim for generously sharing all your special qualities with us. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! read more

Beggars Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Oak Forest, Illinois

The entire order was wrong. I wanted stuffed pizza and got a pan pizza. Charged for the stuffed. Very disappointing. Maybe it was just an off day. People seemed very nice though. Very very friendly. read more

Went to Beggers this afternoon for lunch with my friend and we sat on the patio and our server was the best, she really showed she cared about how we where taken care of. She had a lovely smile and I feel she went beyond her job. Her name was Kim.S and I hope you appreciate her. Thank you Kim for making our lunch so special. Phyllis.K read more

Great Pizza that is why we came tonight. Glad it was good. HOWEVER!!! We Ordered one Medium Pizza at 730pm mind you maybe one other table had people sitting down to eat....at 815pm waitress comes out and says we screwed up your pizza its going to be another 15min. Do you want an appetizer....nope sure don't.... No discount given whatsoever & if your idea of a free appetizer is your answer then I cannot get down with that because I came for your Pizza not an Appetizer I can go buy at GFS...It is not the waitresses fault to my knowledge but how does 45min go by before you realize the screw up???? Probably will not be back to this location! Oh one more thing in the middle of the restaurant since 730pm there have been a group of employees just sitting there talking and going back and forth from the kitchen....what kind of show you running here? Businesses are hurting especially for dine in service...we chose you tonight. What a let down! read more

We took a peer out to celebrate a promotion at the lunch buffet. We have an hour lunch so I made reservations. There were 6 of us. We had a close table which was nice. Beverages arrived fast and I was fortunate that all the food had just been replenished. I'm very fussy but Sausage pizza was tasty and cheesy and the Italian beef was delicious as was the fried chicken. The chocolate chip pizza cookie was friggin awesome! Hot, goey, tasted homemade not prepackAged gmo but homemade. The manager buzzed around making certain everything was good. The only drawback was the server took a while to do our bills and one of our peers were concerned about being late. read more

This review is for the stuffed spinach and mushroom pizza that we ordered take out. This place uses canned mushrooms! For a $30 pie, I would expect fresh ingredients. The other letdown was the sauce, kinda bland and basic. For deep dish/stuffed pizza, Beggars is not on par with the top Chicago Pizza spots. read more

I rarely ever write reviews but I thought this was so ridiculous that it's warranted! My 2 boys, my mother and I went to eat at Beggars. My boys and I had a train to catch in a just over an hour and I figured it would be plenty of time to grab lunch. Service was so slow and we hardly saw the waitress. When we did order, my oldest son ordered a cheeseburger with bacon and fries. His burger came and the bacon was so burnt that it was crumbly. So we asked to get bacon that wasn't so burnt and she took the bacon and left him with a burger that was 1. Ice cold once he got the new bacon and 2. He had hardly any cheese left after taking the burnt bacon off. Whatever, we didn't have time for any of it. None of our food was very good but that's a whole other thing and I wouldn't have even written a review on the crappy food. But once we got the bill I was looking to see why it was so expensive and my sons burger with fries was TWENTY dollars. I was like what in the actual F. I asked the server and she said with attitude that it was just the price and did we want a manager. Remember, we have a train to catch so reluctantly I said yes because it was so crazy to me. The manager came and said that the price is correct blah blah and she could take a little off the burger. We had no time at that point and I was so aggravated with the whole thing that I just paid the bill and walked out and she could keep the measly amount she was going to "take off" and I didn't have the time to deal with the situation. So, my sons awful cheeseburger ended up costing $20 lol. An amazing cheeseburger somewhere doesn't even cost that! If my mother wouldn't have driven us (we were planning on walking back just as we did on the way there) we would have missed the train and still only got there a couple minutes before the train. Anyways, if you want an edible cheeseburger that isn't $20, I wouldn't get one here! read more

One of the best pizzas in Chicago. They lay it on thick and all toppings are cooked just right. Only recommend the pizza not the small and flavorless wings. read more

Ive been coming to this location since 1998 and for the past year my pizza have went from being 4 stars to finally tonight to1 star. When I called back to speak to the manager she started to debate about the quality of the pizza I received. Final time going here or any other beggars for that fact. read more

Very disappointed waited over an hour for a few pasta dishes and pizza once the pasta was brought out it was cold...luke warm at best! I would have been happy to have gotten it when it was fresh and hot what was the hold up it was not even busy. Then we had to wait and extra 15 mins more for warm NOT hot pizza. The guy training another waitress just left her never saw him again after placing our order left the poor girl to deal with hangry customers about the long wait times and cold food. We were Not the only disappointed customers. Not sure I'll go back. read more

They have the worst lasagna I've ever had in my life. For example, it's a small portion completely drenched in sauce & covered with this chewy, stringy white cheese. The lasagna is not even layered, it's all mushed together with bland, unseasoned, mashed up ground beef, absolutely disgusting. The noodles are dark colored (re warmed) soggy, rubber noodles. Also, their pizza was cold, undercooked & chewy cheese. I will never go there again, don't walk, run from this place, it's a half step above dormitory food. read more

Pizza and pasta dishes are always cooked to perfection and just delicious! The Italian sausage is to die for! You definitely get what you pay for when ordering from this restaurant. Delivery took about 1 hour from ordering, as expected. The delivery driver, who has a red PT CRUISER, Dan was exceptional. Very polite and helpful with helping me carry my food safely. He was super professional and made my day A bit brighter. You He's a great employee! You can tell how great a business is by the employees. Love getting delivery now! read more

Beggars pizza always hits the spot. They don't skimp on the cheese. We live nearby, so we visit about once a month. My wife and I usually split a small thin crust and end up with a couple slices for lunch the next day. Definitely recommend if you are in the area! read more

Just wanted to comment on how awesome my delivery driver just was no contact at ALL still gave quality customer service.Thanks beggers driver Mike for keeping my family safe doing these trying times. We are in this together . read more

Pizza arrived 40-minutes late and was cold. I had to warm it in my oven to make it palatable. Don't use this beggars it sucks. They don't even deserve the one star rating. read more

Really,really good pizza! Cheese,crust,ingredients and sauce were perfect. Delivery was fast. Ordered at peak dinner time. Was told 1 hour and was delivered in 45 minutes piping hot. Can't ask for much more than that and I can't say a bad thing about my experience. Thanks Beggars! read more

I was going to give them 1 star because it is a pizza place and their pizza is horrible. No better than a mediocre frozen pizza. I gave 2 stars because service was decent. read more

delicous pizza great service, friendly staff, all around good environment. if there's any pizza place me and my family go to it is beggars.

This is a huge Beggar's. A group of us (12) came here one Saturday night before we went bowling next door. They took a reservation on the phone and we were seated promptly. This location has a bunch of little off-shoot rooms, I guess for private parties, but the place is big. They also have a really nice bar area. Our server was fun and personable. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Some got pizza, others pasta, and I got a beef. All the food was consistent with any location. I would probably come back and catch a game in the bar area. read more

We have eaten at many Beggars and this one had the slowest service ever. Pat, our waitress, is so unhappy and you can tell she does not want to be here. The food is still good but get it to go! read more

Okay, I've seen the error of my ways. For years, I've loudly and proudly proclaimed that Beggar's was sub-par. I was wrong. Maybe my tastes have changed, I don't know, but it's definitely worth the stop. The restaurant itself is always clean, service is good and friendly, and the food comes up quickly. After Nancy's in the OF closed, my pizza loving heart was broken. Louisa's is my number one (who didn't see that coming? ;) but sometimes you just don't want to blow that much dough on a pie. Aurelio's has always been a steady bet for me, especially since Giordano's closed, but now...I'm probably a Beggar's girl. And I like it like that. Definitely worth a shot. Pizza is delish, and they don't skimp on the spinach as others tend to do. Yup. It's good. I have seen the error of my ways. read more

Pizza was great :-) the service was super slow which is why they didn't grasp the 5 star rating. I hope they can work on the process a bit more. When people are hungry they don't like to wait! They got the order correct. We had wings, pizza, and a 2 litter. If I'm out this way again I'll order from this place but in advance since it takes soo long!!!!! read more

I was very disappointed, I had a party for under 60 people and I paid $700 for an unlimited amount of pizza for the few hour I had the place. Unfortunate the pizza wasn't ready at the time it suppose to be ready. I was told the the first set of pizzas was going to be ready before the guest got there and the first 2 or 3 pizzas didn't come out until a half hour later (and that was not enough for 60 people) and then it took another 45 minutes for the next set of pizzas to come out. To make a long story short, I ended up with a total of seven (7) pizzas for 60 people for the three hours I reserved the room for. I had sent a letter to corporate but I still have not heard back from them and it's been a year. So all together I paid $100 per pizza and they were too busy trying to count my guest to make sure it was under 60 people, instead of getting the pizzas out to me and my guest. I would have been better off, renting a place (banquet hall) and ordering about 15 to 20 pizzas for the $700 that I spent. Location: 15600 S. Cicero Ave, Oak Forest, IL read more

Highly recommend this beggars, no wait, friendly service, fantastic food, & great pricing! There's something for everyone!

Disappointed in the pizza and service. The food took forever to come out over a hour for a deep dish pizza. The wings were good but I couldn't understand what the hype about the pizza was about maybe compared to Pizza Hut or a lil ceasers it's good. I ordered a slice of deep dish cheese which tasted like it been sitting all afternoon then reheated. I would rather go to barraccos down on Cicero anytime over this read more

Beggars Pizza - Spinach deep dish - Pizza Near Me - Oak Forest, Illinois

Okay, just learned my lesson never to order from here again. My wife brought home a pizza this past Sunday May 8th, and lo-and-behold the first slice I bite into has a thread boring screw in it underneath the cheese! Visiting the dentist I now require a crown on one of my molars! How the heck did that get in there, revenge by the cooking staff or something?? read more

Ordered a veggie small deep dish, very good surprisingly! No complaints except o had to eat it with a fork because ... deep dish.

When we moved to the southlands, we spent a year trying every pizza place around, freezing a few slices of each for a year end taste off. Influencing our decision was also the price compared to the taste. Beggars was by far the winner. We especially love the pizza pie cut, fresh tomatoes, spinach and ricotta cheese - mmmmm. read more

I ordered my food on yelp through grubhub. When I got there they no longer had the pickup in the parking lot. I called to see if someone would bring it out to me cause I had two small kids (2yrs old and 9months) in the car who were sleep. The girl ask for my name, several times. I gave her my first and last name. She says she doesn't my name. I ask her if she wanted the confirmation number and that I ordered it by grubhub. She tells me the names listed for grubhub and said my name isn't listed. My name is Karen Westbrook. One of the names listed was Karen W. ‍‍ I said that's me, Karen Westbrook aka Karen W. She says someone will bring it out when its ready. I told her it says it's already ready. She said ok. I wait 5 minutes, no one brings it out. I had to go in to get it. Terrible terrible service read more

My first -- and only -- Beggars Pizza. Stuffed cheese and spinach. I had high hopes because the delivery was prompt and when I opened the box it wasn't soggy and soaking up the cardboard, which is often the case with stuffed pizza these days. But, alas, it tastes like it was made by some kids playing around with their Easy Bake Oven. Chef Boyardee sauce and Pillsbury biscuit crust. They do "lay it on thick," as promised, but, really, who says to themselves, "You know what this yuck could really use? MORE LAYERS OF YUCK." Come on, man. This is Chicago! Have some stuffed pizza standards! read more

LOVE Beggars! I used to live by Midway and usually had Beggars about once a week. I moved away last Summer & there aren't any around me now, but I was out in Oak Forest earlier this week so I stopped in for dinner. Service was GREAT! Hostess seated us immediately, asked if we preferred a booth or a table & we were seated in a booth in the back. Waitress came to grab out drink orders and pointed out their new rewards program (we didn't sign up since this wasn't going to be a regular thing, but she was very informative and not pushy about it.) We ordered an appetizer sampler, a small thin crust pizza, half & half toppings, and a small salad. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because 1) the appetizer sampler was a joke. Its priced at $8.50 but it was so small. There were only 2 of us, so I wonder if they downsized it because of that, but honestly NOT worth $8.50. Pick something else, anything else. 2) the pizza just wasn't as good as I remembered from the Midway location! It seemed a little burnt but they did get the half & half topping correct, which was nice. I'd like to give this location another shot in the future but for right now, 3 stars seems about right. read more

This location has the worst service. Twice in 4 months we ordered from them, once for pick up and once for delivery. Both times they had the orders messed up. The first order they failed to add the meat to an order of nachos. When I called I had to take a picture and text it to them then they remade and had to pick up the replacement. The second time, tonight, we ordered a classic Big Cheese sandwich which comes with provolone and mozzarella cheeses dry, no sauce. They delivered a sandwich smothered in NACHO cheese. When we called they tried to say we ordered it with chedder. Ummm no I said just cheese only. I never said chedder. If the people taking the orders don't know what comes in or on their dishes, they shouldn't be taking orders. The manager was kind of a jerk but said they'd get a fresh sandwich out. In addition, our entire order today, a $35 order, was barely warm. It's obvious they don't even have the means to keep food hot for deliver. Pretty sad when Dominos pizza can serve hotter food than a Chicago classic like Beggars. Needless to say, we won't be ordering from this location again. Maybe not any Beggars whatsoever and definitely not anytime soon. read more

First of all let me say that Beggars is the best pizza you are going to find anywhere. I lived overseas for years and the Beggars in Alsip/Blue Island was always my first stop after stepping off the plane. This Beggars on the other hand is a disaster. The service sucks. The woman 'manager' was completely inept. I phoned in an order for a pizza and they said 30 minutes. I arrived in 25 minutes and paid for my pizza. It was not done yet and I waited (as they were fairly busy). After about fifteen minutes I saw my name come up on the board. No one said anything and I waited patiently against the wall. 30 more minutes go by. I walk up to the counter and pointed out that my name had been up on the board for a while. The woman (who was apparently a manager) began to walk around looking for my pizza. Ten minutes later she walks back up to the counter and says 'we gave your pizza to someone else....here you can have theirs'. I asked 'do you even know if this is the same pizza that I ordered ?' She then began to give me attitude explaining to me that 'I can take this pizza, wait for another one or get my money back' in a very rude tone which was not warranted or appreciated. I asked 'well what are you going to do for inconveniencing me?' She said 'I guess you want your money back'. She then gives me back my money, I count it and she gives me the wrong amount. I pointed it out to her and she got more frustrated. I withheld calling her what I thought of her. I will never set foot in this Beggars every again. read more
