Beggars is not only a Southside staple but also a go-to for my family. We visit often for family gatherings and carry out orders to enjoy at home. The Tinley Park location is among their newer locations. It's always clean, staff is extremely nice and accommodating, and food is consistent. I visited during the holidays which this year they actually took reservations for. We had a group of 9 adults and 3 kids which they more than accommodated for ahead of time. We ordered a variety of appetizers to share: mozzarella sticks, breaded mushrooms, and curly fries ahead of (3) pizzas. During the holidays, a lot of large parties dine in so we ordered right away. They paced our food nicely, gave us clean plates for apps and entree, and kept drink refills coming. We did order (3) large pizzas which one came out as a medium by mistake; they kindly gave is an additional small pizza for free to offset the error. While Beggars pizza isn't my favorite, it's always consistent and the slogan "we lay it on thick" never lies.
Great pizza, very cheesy and the crust is so yummy. Ordered for pick up but did have a wait
Awesome deep dish Chicago style and the woman was friendly. The place was clean and in a good area
I love this pizza! When they say they lay it on thick they sure do! I ordered a thin crust sausage, spinach and black olives and it was thick. They don't skimp on ingredients. The crust is good too. We've eaten in the restaurant too before. I enjoyed it with my family. Definitely a pizza/bar restaurant type atmosphere. Good food and nice people!
The food is always delicious. It was Halloween. The restaurant was busy with carry out and delivery orders, but it did not cause our food to be delayed. The waitress was very attentive. Came back often to check that everything was okay. This place is very consistent. They are not skimpy with the ingredients.
The beef taco pizza is amazing. We loved it! Probably one of the top two taco pizzas I've ever tasted for sure. I would definitely get it again. My only complaint is prices are kind of high compared to some other pizza spots. We also tried the chicken taco pizza. That was also good, but we preferred the beef one. Service at carry out was good and they have a parking lot.
This is one of our local favorites! We walked in on a Friday night and it was very busy but we're sat right away. Our sever was good and took our drink and pizza order right away. We ordered our deep dish pizza order at the same time we ordered our drinks because it takes at least 50 minutes for the pizza to cook. She told us the time was running around one hour fifteen minutes for deep dish. We also ordered dough bites for an appetizer. Our drinks canes out quickly and the appetizer shortly after. Pizza took around one hour and the manager brought it to our table. Appetizer and pizza was really good. They have beer on tap and my husband and I both got 32 oz beers. This location is marketed with the Chicago White Sox. Funny thing, they were playing and the game was only on 2 TVs in the whole place. We had to ask to have it put on one of the TVs by us instead of Funny Car racing!
