    a slice of pizza on a paper plate
    Paul I.

    If you go there do not order thin. This pizza's dough is not made on premises. This is a premade and precooked dough that they add ingredients on top, so it taste like a thick export soda cracker with tomato sauce and cheese. Awful awful. This was so bad that it left me intrigued. In a town where pizza is a local pride issue, the question is why sell this abomination. We spent almost $25. That would have bought us 2 much larger pies from Costco or 3 DiGiorno's that would tasted much much better. I will give them one more try for a deep dish, that I recall was very decent, but this one is a hard pass. Still the question. Why offer this? In Chicago of all places?

    NOT RECOMMENDED

    Just ordered a grilled chicken salad. I got home after 25 minutes waiting for this crap!! 2 cherry tomatoes, 2 slices of cukes, 4 croutons, NO CHEESSE!!! They suck,, will not be back ever!! Ya'll just keep on talking in the back. Yep, I UNDERSTAND SPANISH!! Paid 13 bucks for dust on Central. Keep driving pass it,,,not worth it.

    Ordered pizza for Friday Family night and it was great. Thin crust with sausage, cheese, onions, bellpepper, mushrooms and jalapeno. They really laid on the toppings my pizza was as thick as a sandwich. I was told pick up at 430 pizza wasnt ready until 445. In the end it was worth the wait. also the price was nice considering how thick the pizza toppings were.

    While traveling through the outskirts of Chicago for the night, we decided on Beggars because they are in the Blue Island location and Uber Eats delivered. Pizza was great, with thick toppings. We got the stuffed pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, green olives and extra cheese!

    Just had pizza delivered pizza and it is pretty lousy. Ordered medium sausage, onion,and green peppers cooked well but that didn't mean burn the crust which already tastes like cardboard. I'm hungry so I ate a few pieces. The rest will go in the garbage. Good money wasted.

    Those love pizza HAVE to stop by one of these places . It had by far the best deep dish pizza I ever had. They had the store decorated in the holiday spirit and the customer service was excellent. We had started off with mushroom pizza bread( customizable appetizers from the get go??!!; I'm already pumped!) While we waited for the deep dish. The crust was not too doughy or garlicky and kept your mouth watering from the time we saw it to the time we finished the last bite. Then the grandaddy of them(deep dish pizza) all came out, and boy was it worth the 30 minute wait. Some might say it was a little too cheesy, but I feel that's just people trying to hate on a great pie. We had to pass on dessert because we were stuffed, but from the menu they had looked appealing enough. If you are in Oak Lawn, IL or in the chicago area in general I recommend trying one of these restaurants.

    Delicious pizza with,  sausage,  mushroom,  green peppers and garlic this is a very good pie worth thr trip

    We were staying at a hotel in Alsip for an event and needed a good place to eat. Needless to say,…read morethere was not a good restaurant in Alsip so we had to go to Oak Lawn for Francesca's on 95th! We had a great time, with great service and really good old fashioned Italian food!!! For our appetizer, we had the sausage and peppers. GAME CHANGER!!! Neither of us had eaten this classic Italian appetizer before and Francesca's version was a great introduction to this dish. Surprisingly, it was NOT the sausage that was the star of this presentation - it was the sauce and the peppers. The sauce was part top notch olive oil, part Italian seasonings and it was a wonderfully delicious background to each bite. The peppers (green, red & yellow) were perfectly cooked, luxuriously soft but still with a little crisp to them. Those peppers were perfectly cooked! I do think the sausage, while okay, was not up to the standard of the rest of this dish. For my main, I had the Linguini Alla Caruso - shrimp, garlic, olive oil with a basil-pine nut pesto sauce. It was very good, very good. Be warned though the sauce leans a little to the sour or harsh flavor. Not too bad, I certainly ate it up, but there was certainly a sharp taste every once in a while. My spouse had Dana's Bolognese. He was very happy with it! The overwhelming reaction to our main dishes was "holy crap" that's a lot of food! The dishes were as large as a coffee table and we NEVER could have eaten all that food no matter how long we sat there at dinner. Each dish was big enough to feed both of us and several people at nearby tables!!! But the best part of Francesca's on 95th was the service. Everyone was so friendly, so nice, hard working and willing to take care of our every need. Seriously, the staff worked their butts off and provided some of the best service I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Hats off to everyone from the hostess to the server to the bus people. You all really took care of us that evening. You will NOT walk away from Francesca's hungry! Is the food the best Italian I have ever had? Probably not but it is definitely solid and a great place to enjoy a good meal.

But I had to admit the clam sauce was actually good. They're chicken parmesan was hit... I enjoyed the sauce and I actually like the way that they have fried their chicken or breaded it and grilled it either way was excellent.. and one of my favorite dishes that I order almost every time I hit an Italian restaurant is the Alfredo most of the time I have to fix it whether I have to add cheese or pepper is very rare that I get to eat the entree without having to doctor it up but this one definitely passed.. the chicken was a little dry but you won on the Alfredo sauce.... It was a win-win lunch definitely wouldn't mind going back there...

    My fiance and I went here for our anniversary and to be honest, I'd 100% come back!…read more To start, we were seated right away which was great and it didn't take long for our waitress to come over. She was pretty nice and very knowledgeable about the food menu as well as the drink menu. For my meal, I did enjoy the bone in ribeye steak with a baked potato with the added shrimp! You can add 4 large shrimp for an extra charge and it was worth it. The shrimp tasted like it was cooked on a grill and had that smokey flavoring to it. My steak was also cooked perfectly and was jam packed with flavor. It literally melted in your mouth! The potato was also good; their butter made it 10X better. I'm not sure what kind of butter they use but it was really good on that and on the bread they serve at the beginning. My fiance had 2lbs of king crab legs and while they were very expensive for only 2lbs (we get it - market price but this was A LOT), they did taste like they had been frozen for awhile. We were not impressed with them at all and he 100% regretted getting them, especially for that price. We were very disappointed in those. If we do come back, we will definitely stick to steak or maybe another fish. What made this visit so awesome was that our waitress gave us a slice of cheesecake on the house to celebrate our anniversary, which we thought was so kind! They even put a heart around it! We honestly had a great experience here and I loved that the restaurant wasn't jam packed and it just felt very intimate and cozy.

    Had a bad experience here…read more First, the food was really good. I had the chicken and mashed potatoes (because the steaks were incredibly expensive). The service was particularly bad. There was only one table seated when I got there and the hostess said to take my pick. I picked a seat on the wall and she informed me that it was reserved (the only table in the entire restaurant apparently). My server was very slow, even with 3 tables. Despite stating several things clearly, she would do things that weren't in alignment with what we were talking about. For instance I said I was interested in the chocolate cake for desert... I asked if they had that and said she wasn't sure. Then at the end of my meal I asked again and she went to check for like 12 mins and came back and said they are out. A good server would have checked earlier. This is just a tiny example of the dozen things she didn't do well. Also the pricing is REALLY expensive in my opinion and they add on an extra management fee (I think it is like 3% and optional and you can look like a jerk to ask them to remove it). This fee is to help keep their already expensive prices down. I think it is tacky to slip this on the bill without telling you. This place used to be better as Louies Chop House. It had a warmth to it and great food and better prices. I know meats are expensive these days, so maybe they should consider something like a sirloin on the menu that is more affordable. The fact that the place was empty (except the bar) basically is a clear sign that whatever they are doing isn't working.
