Deep dish
Suzanne F.

Delicious deep dish! Very tasty and I like how it's not too bready. Tons of cheese and decent portion of sauce. We had it with spinach and onion. Would have loved a little more spinach as it was a little sparse but the flavor overall was great. Small seating area but plenty for a handful of groups. Only one server/cashier working but he was doing really well handling all the orders. Friendly staff. Would go back for sure!

The Chicago Bears play late today so I decided to take Bertollis River Jumbo Pizza Thin Crust (Half Jalapeno and Half Cheese) to my Best Friends House. Pizza was ready in 25 minutes pretty fast customer service! Nice Ambiance of the Bertollis River Pizza. Definitely recommend this Pizza Joint to All :)

Piece of hard wood. Got stuck on my tooth.

I've ordered here several times. Tonight I got delivery. (Usually carry out) . I Found a piece of wood on my pizza. It got stuck on my teeth and unable to chew. It looked like regular seasoning on top of the pizza.

Stuffed pizza with Italian beef and peppers

Ordered at 6 pm. Pizza delivery at 7:35 pm. Pizza was Cold. Called and was denied refund or credit. Avoid this business, many other options.

Do they serve calzone and are they better than average?

Is this the Pizza place that Carlo from sMothered owns?

It sure is and the pizza is delicious!

Can someone describe the pizza here, thin and crispy ? Medium crust ? And how is the sauce on the sweeter side or not. Appreciate the feedback?

Thin crunchy crust, not sweet sauce.

The best pizza place in the area by far. Will not get pizza anywhere else. Great service. True…read moreChicago tavern pizza. Tried and true

A craving for pizza after completing Bank of America Chicago 13.1 led me to looking up pizza…read morerestaurants I had not eaten at before. I discovered Anthony B's Pizza & Pasta listed #15 after searching pizza options via yelp within a radius of the Maywood area. Once I noted that it was the closest to me, plus offered the online ordering option it was then I considered, chose and made my way to this restaurant. Since I had no interest in ordering a large pizza, I ended up selecting the 10'' build your own pizza regular crust, with spinach as my topping which was only 0.75 cents extra. It made my day to see that the restaurant had RC Cola on its menu as one of the soda options which I absolutely love. Ordering online allowed me to pick up my order and go, then conduct additional errands in the area. By the time I arrived at Anthony B's my order was waiting for me behind the counter. I was well on my way after verifying that I was picking up an order, and my name. While waiting for the employee to grab my order, I adored the display of Elmo holding a pizza at the register which I thought was very cute! Grateful to have had a smooth online ordering experience because the likelihood of me ordering online again is very high. As for my order, I would be lying if I said the regular crust pizza with spinach was not good because I was very satisfied with the taste of it. I enjoyed each square cut piece, devouring them all very quickly. I am glad that I considered Anthony B's because I would not have had the opportunity to taste the goodness of their pizza. I am well open to ordering from Anthony B's Pizza & Pasta again if in the area as the time goes on. And as yelp recommended it to me for pizza, I share my endorsement of it as well with you all.

I loved that they had a small outdoor patio to enjoy the weather and be connected with the busy downtown. Their menu had starters, pastas, pizzas, and entrees in a curated format. They serve wine and beer regularly but have a rotating specials menu for cocktails and food. Our server let us know that the bruschetta rotates weekly which is cool. For mains, I got the Ricotta Gnocchi. All of that pastas are clearly homemade. The gnocchi was certainly pillowy and paired nicely with the creamy truffle sauce. My husband got the Orecchiette pasta which could have had a more prominent sauce to it. Overall, the pasta was fresh and ingredients tasted of good quality. The portions for price point seemed a little off as dishes didn't come with a bread basket nor side salad. I wish we would have gotten either a bit more pasta or something else to make the price feel of value. Either way, this was a nice spot to enjoy good company at. Our server, Nina, could not have been nicer and more attentive to our group.

I admit that I am no stranger when it comes to Beggars Pizza; I have tasted their pizza on…read moreoccasions after it was ordered by our hospital staff. And during those times, I enjoyed it and vowed to order it outside of my work shift since I enjoyed it so much. While looking at their menu online, I discovered their ever so delicious looking deep-dish chocolate chip cookie, which is a 7-inch-deep dish chocolate chip cookie that is baked! Yum! It will certainly be something I look forward to trying in the future, for sure! I ordered a small thin crust pizza with pineapple via call-in since the order online option was for preorder only for the next day. Ordering via call-in was very convenient because by the time I arrived at Beggars, the only thing I did was state my name and confirm my order with the employee at the counter. Beggars itself sits along a highly trafficked W Roosevelt Rd, right across from Edward Hines, Jr. Veteran Affairs Hospital. And the parking lot itself is shared with a few other businesses, like Cricket, Lacey's Place, and a Chicken Factory location. As for the food, I want to point out that the thin crust pizza with pineapples looked freaking delicious! The pineapples were infused in with a thick layer of cheese, with some pineapple pieces visible. And it tasted very good as I expected. Being that I had a great experience, I will gladly order from Beggars Pizza again if I get the slightest crave for pizza or pasta when in the area. Recommendations: thin crust pizza, deep dish pizza, spaghetti pasta, breaded cheese ravioli, french fries, breaded zucchini, curly fries, cheesy flatbread, pizza bread, veggie pizza, garden salad, greek salad, caesar salad, mostaccioli pasta, or deep-dish chocolate chip cookie ~ You Are Your Choices. ~ Thomas G

I lived in Chicago from 2008-2016. I absolutely loved Beggars. That says something in a sea full…read morepizzeria's. I always got the turkey sausage and spinach. They were the only place that carried turkey sausage in the crumbles that resembled pork sausage. This time we ordered turkey sausage, with half chicken and half spinach. Imagine my disappointment when I opened this box and the sausage are now pieces cut from a turkey link!!! The turkey now tastes like an afterthought. When they had the turkey crumbles, it was so robust and full of flavor. Unless you brown those sausage pieces they use now, which they weren't, they lack flavor. I was very disappointed in this revelation as my friend had Beggars this past December and said it still had the turkey crumbles so this decision was made in the last year. Can you please bring the crumbles back? I will come back and update this review if you do
