The server was rude and tried to rush us in and out. The pizza was adequate, not bad, not good, I liked the large cups they give for drinks. The mozzarella sticks had a bit of a strange taste to them, again neither bad nor good. I did like the atmosphere, it was a clean place and fairly large so you're not cramped in. The prices weren't too bad, in the end I guess you get what you pay for. This could've been a 3 or 4 star review with a different server.

I go here for my 'fix' of fine Chicago-style pizza, and they never disappoint. Granted, the dining room experience can be less than thrilling, but at least this business hires teens from the community to give them some experience, so, you take the good with the not-so-good. But the thin crust (not so thin, really) here is fabulous! The deep-dish pie is also a winner, although I have to say that Giordano's in Orland Park will give them a run for their money on the deep-dish style 'za. The pasta is the same story as with every other pizza joint I've ever eaten at, and I've had a career eating at restaurants, so listen up. My experience is that great pizza restaurants make so-so pasta, and when they do make truly fabulous pasta, the pizza suffers for it. I have not yet found one place which can do both with excellence. Not even Papa Joe's, whose New Lenox location should be closed for crimes against the culinary arts! Although the Orland Papa Joe's has really good pizza, Beggar's of Oak Forest surpasses them by a furlong; although in the pasta department, Papa Joe's Orland wins hands down. It is just this kind of anomaly which makes dining out so interesting sometimes! Beggar's in Oak Forest is a benchmark for all the other pizza places in the Chicago Southland because of their service, their staff's great attitudes, and their 'za, which truly deserves the moniker, 'Chicago-style pizza.' I have been to the Palermo's, the Guardi's, all the Mom-and-Pop places and of course, I avoid the commercial crud like the culinary plague that it is! Beggar's has a rich, spicy sauce,their thin crust is thicker than some (but it has to be - to support the giga-loads of ingredients Beggar's puts on their pizzas, like that mountain of cheese!), they are always cooked to perfection, and have the tastiest sausage and highest quality pepperoni I have had yet. The veggies are top-flight, and they don't ever skimp. Suffice it to say, Beggar's makes pizza the way a true pizza-lover would make it in their own home, if only they knew how! Not to disparage Aurelio's, but the stuff they are using just doesn't compare to Beggars' quality and taste at all. Aurelio's may load on the ingredients, but Beggar's loads on the sauce and cheese, and you get plenty of sausage, for example, if that's what you order, even when other ingredients are added. Aurelio's uses a cheaper, lower-gluten flour in their crust, and somehow when they pile on a bunch of ingredients, it never tastes as good as a Beggar's pizza does. So, if you like your pizza with 'abbondanza' then go straight to Beggar's pizza, and get what you are paying for: highest quality ingredients, plenty of them, and fast service. Bravo, Beggar's of Oak Forest! Order online! beggarspizza.com/oak-for…

I been going here on and off for the last few years and it seem to be every time I do I have a complaint. Either they forget something or its made incorrectly. Tonight I ordered spaghetti with butter garlic sauce w/ Italian sausage, we'll to be honest the spaghetti was dry with little to no butter and the sausage was WAY under cooked and still very pink on the inside. Plus the side salad had a lot of browning going on and plus they give you a very hefty helping of bread almost half of a loaf but, they don't send any butter. So I called to see if they would take care of the less then satisfactory food and they said they would deliver me a new order free of charge. Well I've now waited well over and hour and had time to write this review and still now spaghetti. Ps the restaurant is 4 blocks away on the same street as me. So needless to say I don't believe I will be returning to this beggars anymore.

Ok, I have tried the downtown location since discovering it online a few months ago. The pizza is still very good, but for some reason the individual slices taste different, not as good... or maybe its just me. I picked up whole pizzas twice and it was delicious. I was downtown one day and walked to this location and ordered a slice to go and it tasted very different. Maybe its in my mind, but I don't think so.

My family and I have been eating Beggars pizza for about 12+ years. It has always been good. Sausage and spinach, pepperoni and giardeneira, cheese only...no matter the topping I always love their pizza. Thick cheese with the toppings underneath, on top of a chewy crust...yum yum yum! Definitely one of my all-time favorite places to get my pizza fix! I've been to the locations in Blue Island, Markham (or Harvey, whichever), Richton Park, Oak Lawn and of course in Oak Forest. The pizza is pretty much the same everywhere but I frequent the one in Oak Forest more because it is closer to where I live. Between Uno's downtown (which is sort of in another catergory since it's deep dish) & Beggars, I'll choose Beggars everytime ;-).

I ordered a large pizza 1/2 cheese 1/2 sausage and it was great!! Lots of cheese and sausage, the sauce was really good too. Tasted even better the next day.

The pizza is fantastic. Fresh toppings, great sauce, crisp crust...thin crust or deep dish, you're getting a great five-star pizza. The problem comes in with the pasta. It's bad. Really bad. As in "I think they swapped our pasta with Chef Boyardee" bad. But no worries. The appetizers are good, so grab one of those, sit tight, and wait on your pizza.

I'm in love! Beggars is by far the best in Oak Forest. Tried many others, but nothing compares to this. Five stars...definitely!

Beggars is a south suburbs institution and has some of the best pizza around. From Oak Lawn to Orland to Blue Island, it's consistently good where ever you are at. And the Oak Forest location is no exception. This was my first time there and I was very pleased. The dining room was open and comfortable, the service was really friendly and attentive, and of course the pizza was excellent. Oh that pizza, a sturdy tasty crust absolutely covered with just about the thickest layer of cheese you can get anywhere, and a nice savory sauce that's surprisingly complex considering the laid-back neighborhood joint atmosphere the place has. So what's there to say about the Oak Forest Beggars? Well, if you find yourself south on Cicero Avenue and want a damn good pizza you would be hard pressed to do better.

The deep dish pizza is great! However, I believe they used canned mushrooms. I prefer fresh mushrooms, so next time I will stay away.

Favorite pizza in the south suburbs for thin crust. In moving from Oak Forest to Chicago, I was bummed to miss out on further Beggar's experiences, then thrilled to realize they opened a new one within walking distance from my new apartment.

First, my rating is for the food only as I agree the service at this location sucks and it's mainly (for me) their attitude! Its like the could care less whether you ate there or not. Even in the carry out area there's a feeling that the cashiers have been having a bad day all their life! But the pizza at Beggars is fantastic! The thin crust pie has a soft texture and fresh taste (may find yourself eating the crust first and then the toppings) and when they say they lay it on thick, they weren't kidding! I like to order mines with sausage, pepperoni, and jalapeño and love how they load it up. The pepperoni has a great spice flavor and the sausage pieces are the perfect size and plentiful. They do have several locations so experience may differ based on where you go and I really wish the service was better but when it comes to pizza, Beggars leaves my happy! Would love to give them a better rating but service is important.

Amazing deep dish. I love the corn meal crust! Aps are terrible, Price/quality. They do not skimp on the toppings!

This Beggars is always consistently good, both the food and the service. We live in Blue Island but come to this location because of this. They have plenty of room so you never really have to wait for a seat. They waitresses are always friendly. The pizza is always good. I really like the baked cookie for dessert. I came here recently and the waitress came by me to make sure my coffee was topped off. I don't think we ever had bad service here or bad food.

David O.
If your looking for a pizzaria that doesn't skimp on ingredients, and tastes fantastic, it's Beggars pizza! Either, eat in or take out. By the pie, or by the slice, man it is good! You need two hands to eat a slice.

I've had Beggars pizza before, but only takeout from the Orland Park location. This time, however, we were meeting a friend for dinner who was staying on Cicero, so this seemed to fit the bill. The in-house experience didn't disappoint, though you shouldn't expect serious fancy here. It's your basic neighborhood pizza place/Italian joint. When I asked for water, the waitress set down three cups, stacked, three straws and an almost-overfull pitcher. Service was overall friendly though not over-the-top so. We started with two orders of fried ravioli (one four-cheese, one sausage & cheese). It wasn't that easy to differentiate, actually; the sausage was really finely chopped/ground and mixed with the cheese well. Tasty and served with ranch and marinara. Then, a large pepperoni thin crust. Beggars does not skimp on the cheese or toppings, and while both were tasty it's a little hard to remember what the crust tasted like, because I mostly recall cheese and a little sauce! All in all, though, a tasty pie and we ate every last bite.

Beggar's Pizza varies in quality from location to location. I have been to about 12 of them, and this is by far the best one and that's saying something. Some of the comments on here complain about the service, but let me assure you there are some very friendly people who work here in addition to the few bad apples. We had a party for my goddaughter's christening here and it was excellent at a very reasonable cost. There is no pizza in the south suburbs that can compare with this Beggar's location.

Courtney O.
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.

Pizza is delicious but dining in can be annoying. Seems like everytime we are there our waitress/waiter goes missing. When you have young kids its not fun wondering when they are going to come back with the check.

Their pizza is way too greasy for me.. and when they say they lay it on thick.. they mean it! Way too much for me. If you like tons of cheese and toppings this pizza its perfect for you. I have had their taco pizza and I liked it better than the regular. Their cheesefries are soo amazing. I could eat an entire order to myself. Good staff and good service! Really nice atmosphere.

Andre H.
I'm rarely disappointed when it comes to beggars...been scarfing it down for close to 20 years. I guess you can say it varies in atmosphere depending on which one you go to but the pizza remains as some of the best i've ever tasted. From thin crust to deep dish you really can't go wrong. The inside of this location is nice.. a decent amount of room for large groups and right next to a bowling alley.

Maria C.
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.

Christopher H.
My wife remembers getting this pizza as a child. On a recent visit we decided to try it and see if it was like she remembered. OH MAN WAS IT GOOD. We got a medium thin crust with half pep and sausage, half cheese. It was classic chicago style pizza, thick and full of cheese and toppings. Totally worth it!

Went there on Tuesday, March 23, 2010. There were hardly any people in there but getting our pizza took over an hour. We got there about 8:00 p.m. had to ask for a waitress because no one came over to take our order after sitting there for 20 minutes. Pizza was good but the service not so good.

Pat R.
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.

Dan D.
Just really really bad pizza, no flavor in the cheese and the appetizers were even worse. This really should be zero stars but I didn't have a choice.

Kenneth B.
The best thin crust and deep dish pizza in the Chicagoland area. They put so many toppings on the pizza, that you have sausage in every bite of the pizza. My favorite is sausage, cheese, onions, and Canadian bacon. Their deep dish has Pizzeria Uno beat and Geno's East doesn't stand a chance. I have eaten at all the locations except Frankfort and Marionette Park. I think that they are opening a new store in Plainfield, which is close to where I work in Romeoville. Good pizza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No matter where I work there is a Beggars Pizza near by... so it has become a habit... grab a slice and go! I like this location has lunch specials. I always get a cheese slice... because they lay it on thick! Grated cheese and crushed red pepper and you're good to go! I don't car for the deep dish crust.

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.

Came in to the buffet for a meal. Coming in I felt the host was rushing us to sit wherever she choose. This is no longer considered good service as the generations coming up prefer the freedom and flexibility. My server was okay I requested napkins but the server reminded me to help myself and next time to get them myself at the buffet table. As a server your expected to serve your customer. My only other compliant was when I felt rushed with a server doing a no no trying to grab my plate before I am done and ready to go. This has always been disrespectful and unless I put this dish to the side do not touch my plate or food. In fact don't ask to take my plate ask me is there anything else that you can do for me? Overall I had a great time I expect the servers behavior was that this was buffet time and I was expected to help myself this is why I left a generous tip as she was courteous and respectful. After she noticed I gave a tip I got a nice thank you on the side. I figure my server doesn't get much tips around buffet time. I had this experience elsewhere as well. I have a belief if you help me I help you. The food was amazing I noticed others complaining the food or the buffet seemed small. Beggars size is smaller than most but even their "thin" is thick. So believe me those two slices are like six slices of another brand. Come here and enjoy yourself the bar and the restaurant is clean and inviting it just needs more people! I'll be back remember servers take care of your customers and be rewarded. Also this reviews stars can be adjusted for better or worse service in the future.

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

Jen P.
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.

I love Beggar's but unfortunately EVERYTIME I get carry out, I encounter the least friendliest high school/college kids ever! I went in last week and as usual, an unfriendly young lady took my order as if she was perturbed that I was in there. The when I asked about Parmesan cheese, she said, and I quote, "it's over there, put it on yourself." I said I'd prefer to take some home, she said the packs are 10 cents each. NOT ONE CAME WITH THE SLICES! Then when I pulled out 2 dimes, she let me know it was 22 cents. Really??? So unfriendly and no free condiments? I will be finding me a new favorite pizza joint cause I don't have to spend my hard earned dollars where they aren't welcomed!

I would highly recommend them for any party or special occasion. Again, Thank you Beggars!

I used to love this location but my love has turned to hate. The employees are rude and careless and they don't seem to take pride in the food anymore. I ordered a pizza last weekend because I was having company over, it was pouring rain all day on Saturday and my friend was kind enough to pick up the pizza on her way to my home. When she gets to us, we're all starving. We open the box, and low and behold we open up a burnt pizza. Well I'll be damned. Not only is it embarrassing that I've spoken so highly about the food I'm serving my friends and family, but now I got a nasty pizza. Have you ever eaten burnt deep dish? Don't!! The sauce that was once sweet and tangy is now bitter and tart. The spinach tasted wilted and the crust tasted charred and was very hard. I can't believe any business owner was send such a monstrosity out of their door. When I called the restaurant and asked to speak with the manager, she seemed totally uninterested and unsympathetic. I asked if someone could come and bring us another pizza and this unprofessional woman told me no... And wasn't even going to offer any sort of compensation for my hardship or gas or time wasted!! I had to ask if I was going to refunded or something. This woman told me that the most she could do was give me a "partial refund" which was $10 back. Which I never got! Beggars, if your goal is to provide awful customer service and lose loyal customers, congratulations... You freaking succeeded. I won't be back.

I will not patronize Beggers at 156th and Cicero in Oak Forest ever. I guess African American dollars not green enough. The cashier was requesting identification from customers which is ok, if she asked for EVERYONE'S id. She only asked the African American customers. One Young Lady did not have her id and she told her she had to go to the cash station .Really? !?!?!. But as the white customers was paying for their orders, did she request identification? Not at all. This is bad business. You should treat all customers the same because you never know who's patronizing your establishment.

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.

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.

We've only dined in here once because the service sucked ! However I do like this pizza so we order to take out. There has been a couple of times where there was way too much cheese though .This is really the only pizza place near me that I really like but make sure if you say you have a coupon that you bring it in or the manager will have a shit fit & act like your going to put them out of business !

This is for the restaurant part of Beggars. Food is always so good. One of my favorite deep dish pizza. Server seemed to not even care about us. Not sure if she was just having an off day, but it was pretty awful. Barely gave us a chance to ask for things before running off. Our whole pizza needed to be sent back and remade. 45 minutes for each one to be cooked. That would have been ok i guess if she bothered to keep the drinks coming, but she kept disappearing. Oh well crappy experience. Probably will never dine in again. They need to work on hiring efficient and happy servers.

Edward M.
Okay, first of all, as one who was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, I still maintain that New York/Brooklyn pizza is the best ever. That having been said, I really liked Beggar's. The crust was good, the sauce was good, and the toppings were generously applied. No skimping. My family ordered four large with different topping selections on each and they were all good, even the plain cheese. It may not be Brooklyn pizza but it was one of the best Midwest pizzas I've tasted.

Tiffany H.
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!!!!!

Jim C.
Pizza is heavy but loaded with ingredients. Sauce makes the pizza and Beggars has always been a favorite since I tried it in Blue Island. My wife likes thin light crust so I have to have it only when she is not around. Will always be one of the best. Carry out is pretty good. Keep in mind a lot of young folks working there and not always as attentive as they should be but timeliness usually pretty accurate. Great place for groups and or school / team functions.

Ever since I moved with my family to the south 'burbs in the early 2000s, we have loved getting Beggar's. I've never dined in at any of their locations, so I can't vouch for that, but their pizza has never failed us. It's great that they're opening more locations across Chicagoland and we've gotten pizza from their Mokena location, which is closer to where we currently live. However, pizza from the OF location tastes slightly better than the latter. Best pizza chain by far!

Hands down the best pizza chain. Although a bit on the pricey side you pay for what you get which is one of the tastiest, flavorful, and filling pizzas. Like the slogan says "we lay it on thick". This isn't the typical thin crust style pizza that is like cardboard.

Great pizza, good service. I sometimes go up here for Monday Night Football 10 dollar domestic buckets of beer and free food at half time. So for 25 bucks you are buzzed, full, watched a football game, and you left a a tip, now that's not a bad night!!!!!

I am not sure what happened for other reviewers who gave this location good reviews, but I know I will not go back to Beggars on Cicero. Service was sketchy at best, never too sure who our server actually was. Busser was content to completely reach over people to take whatever he needed, whether it be a plate of a salt shaker - Rude! The food was bland at best. We had salad and pizza, and neither were very good. The pizza was served hot but it was flavorless. There is just too much pizza out there for me to make return trips to places that can't get it right.

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.

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

The mozzarella sticks had a bit of a strange taste to them, again neither bad nor good. I did like the atmosphere, it was a clean place and fairly large so you're not cramped in. The prices weren't too bad, in the end I guess you get what you pay for. This could've been a 3 or 4 star review with a different server.

But the thin crust (not so thin, really) here is fabulous! The deep-dish pie is also a winner, although I have to say that Giordano's in Orland Park will give them a run for their money on the deep-dish style 'za. The pasta is the same story as with every other pizza joint I've ever eaten at, and I've had a career eating at restaurants, so listen up. My experience is that great pizza restaurants make so-so pasta, and when they do make truly fabulous pasta, the pizza suffers for it. I have not yet found one place which can do both with excellence. Not even Papa Joe's, whose New Lenox location should be closed for crimes against the culinary arts! Although the Orland Papa Joe's has really good pizza, Beggar's of Oak Forest surpasses them by a furlong; although in the pasta department, Papa Joe's Orland wins hands down. It is just this kind of anomaly which makes dining out so interesting sometimes! Beggar's in Oak Forest is a benchmark for all the other pizza places in the Chicago Southland because of their service, their staff's great attitudes, and their 'za, which truly deserves the moniker, 'Chicago-style pizza.' I have been to the Palermo's, the Guardi's, all the Mom-and-Pop places and of course, I avoid the commercial crud like the culinary plague that it is! Beggar's has a rich, spicy sauce,their thin crust is thicker than some (but it has to be - to support the giga-loads of ingredients Beggar's puts on their pizzas, like that mountain of cheese!), they are always cooked to perfection, and have the tastiest sausage and highest quality pepperoni I have had yet. The veggies are top-flight, and they don't ever skimp. Suffice it to say, Beggar's makes pizza the way a true pizza-lover would make it in their own home, if only they knew how! Not to disparage Aurelio's, but the stuff they are using just doesn't compare to Beggars' quality and taste at all. Aurelio's may load on the ingredients, but Beggar's loads on the sauce and cheese, and you get plenty of sausage, for example, if that's what you order, even when other ingredients are added. Aurelio's uses a cheaper, lower-gluten flour in their crust, and somehow when they pile on a bunch of ingredients, it never tastes as good as a Beggar's pizza does. So, if you like your pizza with 'abbondanza' then go straight to Beggar's pizza, and get what you are paying for: highest quality ingredients, plenty of them, and fast service. Bravo, Beggar's of Oak Forest! Order online! beggarspizza.com/oak-for…

I been going here on and off for the last few years and it seem to be every time I do I have a complaint. Either they forget something or its made incorrectly. Tonight I ordered spaghetti with butter garlic sauce w/ Italian sausage, we'll to be honest the spaghetti was dry with little to no butter and the sausage was WAY under cooked and still very pink on the inside. Plus the side salad had a lot of browning going on and plus they give you a very hefty helping of bread almost half of a loaf but, they don't send any butter. So I called to see if they would take care of the less then satisfactory food and they said they would deliver me a new order free of charge. Well I've now waited well over and hour and had time to write this review and still now spaghetti. Ps the restaurant is 4 blocks away on the same street as me. So needless to say I don't believe I will be returning to this beggars anymore.

Pizza was good, cocktails were really good! Good family environment, good service.
(3)AllAround C.
Ok, I have tried the downtown location since discovering it online a few months ago. The pizza is still very good, but for some reason the individual slices taste different, not as good... or maybe its just me. I picked up whole pizzas twice and it was delicious. I was downtown one day and walked to this location and ordered a slice to go and it tasted very different. Maybe its in my mind, but I don't think so.
(4)Clarice G.
My family and I have been eating Beggars pizza for about 12+ years. It has always been good. Sausage and spinach, pepperoni and giardeneira, cheese only...no matter the topping I always love their pizza. Thick cheese with the toppings underneath, on top of a chewy crust...yum yum yum! Definitely one of my all-time favorite places to get my pizza fix! I've been to the locations in Blue Island, Markham (or Harvey, whichever), Richton Park, Oak Lawn and of course in Oak Forest. The pizza is pretty much the same everywhere but I frequent the one in Oak Forest more because it is closer to where I live. Between Uno's downtown (which is sort of in another catergory since it's deep dish) & Beggars, I'll choose Beggars everytime ;-).
(4)Sazsha M.
I ordered a large pizza 1/2 cheese 1/2 sausage and it was great!! Lots of cheese and sausage, the sauce was really good too. Tasted even better the next day.
(4)Greg B.
The pizza is fantastic. Fresh toppings, great sauce, crisp crust...thin crust or deep dish, you're getting a great five-star pizza. The problem comes in with the pasta. It's bad. Really bad. As in "I think they swapped our pasta with Chef Boyardee" bad. But no worries. The appetizers are good, so grab one of those, sit tight, and wait on your pizza.
(4)Joyce T.
I'm in love! Beggars is by far the best in Oak Forest. Tried many others, but nothing compares to this. Five stars...definitely!
(5)M M.
Beggars is a south suburbs institution and has some of the best pizza around. From Oak Lawn to Orland to Blue Island, it's consistently good where ever you are at. And the Oak Forest location is no exception. This was my first time there and I was very pleased. The dining room was open and comfortable, the service was really friendly and attentive, and of course the pizza was excellent. Oh that pizza, a sturdy tasty crust absolutely covered with just about the thickest layer of cheese you can get anywhere, and a nice savory sauce that's surprisingly complex considering the laid-back neighborhood joint atmosphere the place has. So what's there to say about the Oak Forest Beggars? Well, if you find yourself south on Cicero Avenue and want a damn good pizza you would be hard pressed to do better.
(4)Natasha J.
The deep dish pizza is great! However, I believe they used canned mushrooms. I prefer fresh mushrooms, so next time I will stay away.
(3)Rob K.
Favorite pizza in the south suburbs for thin crust. In moving from Oak Forest to Chicago, I was bummed to miss out on further Beggar's experiences, then thrilled to realize they opened a new one within walking distance from my new apartment.
(5)Dee M.
First, my rating is for the food only as I agree the service at this location sucks and it's mainly (for me) their attitude! Its like the could care less whether you ate there or not. Even in the carry out area there's a feeling that the cashiers have been having a bad day all their life! But the pizza at Beggars is fantastic! The thin crust pie has a soft texture and fresh taste (may find yourself eating the crust first and then the toppings) and when they say they lay it on thick, they weren't kidding! I like to order mines with sausage, pepperoni, and jalapeño and love how they load it up. The pepperoni has a great spice flavor and the sausage pieces are the perfect size and plentiful. They do have several locations so experience may differ based on where you go and I really wish the service was better but when it comes to pizza, Beggars leaves my happy! Would love to give them a better rating but service is important.
(3)Leslie C.
Amazing deep dish. I love the corn meal crust! Aps are terrible, Price/quality. They do not skimp on the toppings!
(4)j j.
This Beggars is always consistently good, both the food and the service. We live in Blue Island but come to this location because of this. They have plenty of room so you never really have to wait for a seat. They waitresses are always friendly. The pizza is always good. I really like the baked cookie for dessert. I came here recently and the waitress came by me to make sure my coffee was topped off. I don't think we ever had bad service here or bad food.
(4)David O.
If your looking for a pizzaria that doesn't skimp on ingredients, and tastes fantastic, it's Beggars pizza! Either, eat in or take out. By the pie, or by the slice, man it is good! You need two hands to eat a slice.
(4)Renita M.
I've had Beggars pizza before, but only takeout from the Orland Park location. This time, however, we were meeting a friend for dinner who was staying on Cicero, so this seemed to fit the bill. The in-house experience didn't disappoint, though you shouldn't expect serious fancy here. It's your basic neighborhood pizza place/Italian joint. When I asked for water, the waitress set down three cups, stacked, three straws and an almost-overfull pitcher. Service was overall friendly though not over-the-top so. We started with two orders of fried ravioli (one four-cheese, one sausage & cheese). It wasn't that easy to differentiate, actually; the sausage was really finely chopped/ground and mixed with the cheese well. Tasty and served with ranch and marinara. Then, a large pepperoni thin crust. Beggars does not skimp on the cheese or toppings, and while both were tasty it's a little hard to remember what the crust tasted like, because I mostly recall cheese and a little sauce! All in all, though, a tasty pie and we ate every last bite.
(4)Brad H.
Beggar's Pizza varies in quality from location to location. I have been to about 12 of them, and this is by far the best one and that's saying something. Some of the comments on here complain about the service, but let me assure you there are some very friendly people who work here in addition to the few bad apples. We had a party for my goddaughter's christening here and it was excellent at a very reasonable cost. There is no pizza in the south suburbs that can compare with this Beggar's location.
(5)Courtney O.
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.
(4)Becky C.
Pizza is delicious but dining in can be annoying. Seems like everytime we are there our waitress/waiter goes missing. When you have young kids its not fun wondering when they are going to come back with the check.
(4)Sara S.
Their pizza is way too greasy for me.. and when they say they lay it on thick.. they mean it! Way too much for me. If you like tons of cheese and toppings this pizza its perfect for you. I have had their taco pizza and I liked it better than the regular. Their cheesefries are soo amazing. I could eat an entire order to myself. Good staff and good service! Really nice atmosphere.
(3)Andre H.
I'm rarely disappointed when it comes to beggars...been scarfing it down for close to 20 years. I guess you can say it varies in atmosphere depending on which one you go to but the pizza remains as some of the best i've ever tasted. From thin crust to deep dish you really can't go wrong. The inside of this location is nice.. a decent amount of room for large groups and right next to a bowling alley.
(4)Maria C.
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.
(5)Christopher H.
My wife remembers getting this pizza as a child. On a recent visit we decided to try it and see if it was like she remembered. OH MAN WAS IT GOOD. We got a medium thin crust with half pep and sausage, half cheese. It was classic chicago style pizza, thick and full of cheese and toppings. Totally worth it!
(4)Candace M.
Good pizza and good service. I always have a good experience at this particular Beggar's.
(5)Julie T.
Went there on Tuesday, March 23, 2010. There were hardly any people in there but getting our pizza took over an hour. We got there about 8:00 p.m. had to ask for a waitress because no one came over to take our order after sitting there for 20 minutes. Pizza was good but the service not so good.
(3)Pat R.
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.
(4)Dan D.
Just really really bad pizza, no flavor in the cheese and the appetizers were even worse. This really should be zero stars but I didn't have a choice.
(1)Kenneth B.
The best thin crust and deep dish pizza in the Chicagoland area. They put so many toppings on the pizza, that you have sausage in every bite of the pizza. My favorite is sausage, cheese, onions, and Canadian bacon. Their deep dish has Pizzeria Uno beat and Geno's East doesn't stand a chance. I have eaten at all the locations except Frankfort and Marionette Park. I think that they are opening a new store in Plainfield, which is close to where I work in Romeoville. Good pizza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(5)Tom K.
This is one of the best pizza places I have ate in my life! It was a recommendation from the hotel and I was so glad I did go - it wasn't in the best neighborhood but it was worth it!
(5)Frank P.
The Pizza is one of the best in the South Suburbs.
(4)Dia R.
No matter where I work there is a Beggars Pizza near by... so it has become a habit... grab a slice and go! I like this location has lunch specials. I always get a cheese slice... because they lay it on thick! Grated cheese and crushed red pepper and you're good to go! I don't car for the deep dish crust.
(4)Danielle A.
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.
(3)William H.
Came in to the buffet for a meal. Coming in I felt the host was rushing us to sit wherever she choose. This is no longer considered good service as the generations coming up prefer the freedom and flexibility. My server was okay I requested napkins but the server reminded me to help myself and next time to get them myself at the buffet table. As a server your expected to serve your customer. My only other compliant was when I felt rushed with a server doing a no no trying to grab my plate before I am done and ready to go. This has always been disrespectful and unless I put this dish to the side do not touch my plate or food. In fact don't ask to take my plate ask me is there anything else that you can do for me? Overall I had a great time I expect the servers behavior was that this was buffet time and I was expected to help myself this is why I left a generous tip as she was courteous and respectful. After she noticed I gave a tip I got a nice thank you on the side. I figure my server doesn't get much tips around buffet time. I had this experience elsewhere as well. I have a belief if you help me I help you. The food was amazing I noticed others complaining the food or the buffet seemed small. Beggars size is smaller than most but even their "thin" is thick. So believe me those two slices are like six slices of another brand. Come here and enjoy yourself the bar and the restaurant is clean and inviting it just needs more people! I'll be back remember servers take care of your customers and be rewarded. Also this reviews stars can be adjusted for better or worse service in the future.
(3)Steve W.
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
(2)Jen P.
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.
(4)Rho L.
I love Beggar's but unfortunately EVERYTIME I get carry out, I encounter the least friendliest high school/college kids ever! I went in last week and as usual, an unfriendly young lady took my order as if she was perturbed that I was in there. The when I asked about Parmesan cheese, she said, and I quote, "it's over there, put it on yourself." I said I'd prefer to take some home, she said the packs are 10 cents each. NOT ONE CAME WITH THE SLICES! Then when I pulled out 2 dimes, she let me know it was 22 cents. Really??? So unfriendly and no free condiments? I will be finding me a new favorite pizza joint cause I don't have to spend my hard earned dollars where they aren't welcomed!
(1)Jan S.
Best pizza ever. Friendly service and worth the price.
(5)Robert G.
I threw a 75th Birthday party for my spouse Nick. Had a fantastic room; the service was exceptional...and the two servers were fantastic. We had all-you-can eat salad and lets not forget to mention all you can eat best pizza on the planet. Again I want to thank them for everything. I would highly recommend them for any party or special occasion. Again, Thank you Beggars!
(5)Taeler H.
I used to love this location but my love has turned to hate. The employees are rude and careless and they don't seem to take pride in the food anymore. I ordered a pizza last weekend because I was having company over, it was pouring rain all day on Saturday and my friend was kind enough to pick up the pizza on her way to my home. When she gets to us, we're all starving. We open the box, and low and behold we open up a burnt pizza. Well I'll be damned. Not only is it embarrassing that I've spoken so highly about the food I'm serving my friends and family, but now I got a nasty pizza. Have you ever eaten burnt deep dish? Don't!! The sauce that was once sweet and tangy is now bitter and tart. The spinach tasted wilted and the crust tasted charred and was very hard. I can't believe any business owner was send such a monstrosity out of their door. When I called the restaurant and asked to speak with the manager, she seemed totally uninterested and unsympathetic. I asked if someone could come and bring us another pizza and this unprofessional woman told me no... And wasn't even going to offer any sort of compensation for my hardship or gas or time wasted!! I had to ask if I was going to refunded or something. This woman told me that the most she could do was give me a "partial refund" which was $10 back. Which I never got! Beggars, if your goal is to provide awful customer service and lose loyal customers, congratulations... You freaking succeeded. I won't be back.
(1)Tyni J.
I will not patronize Beggers at 156th and Cicero in Oak Forest ever. I guess African American dollars not green enough. The cashier was requesting identification from customers which is ok, if she asked for EVERYONE'S id. She only asked the African American customers. One Young Lady did not have her id and she told her she had to go to the cash station .Really? !?!?!. But as the white customers was paying for their orders, did she request identification? Not at all. This is bad business. You should treat all customers the same because you never know who's patronizing your establishment.
(1)Megan S.
The pizza gf pizza is good but greasy. The service sucks. You have to search for the server to get a drink refill and the check.
(3)DJ W.
Beggars is a must have when I come back home to visit. It's nothing like some good pizza.
(5)Michelle S.
Highly recommend this beggars, no wait, friendly service, fantastic food, & great pricing! There's something for everyone!
(5)Jeannie A.
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.
(4)Bill R.
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.
(4)Salina C.
We've only dined in here once because the service sucked ! However I do like this pizza so we order to take out. There has been a couple of times where there was way too much cheese though .This is really the only pizza place near me that I really like but make sure if you say you have a coupon that you bring it in or the manager will have a shit fit & act like your going to put them out of business !
(3)Nancy V.
Service stinks! Pizza is poorly made! There are so many other places that deliver on service and product quality!! What the heck happened Beggars? It's obvious you don't care anymore! You used to be the best!!
(1)Hope M.
This is for the restaurant part of Beggars. Food is always so good. One of my favorite deep dish pizza. Server seemed to not even care about us. Not sure if she was just having an off day, but it was pretty awful. Barely gave us a chance to ask for things before running off. Our whole pizza needed to be sent back and remade. 45 minutes for each one to be cooked. That would have been ok i guess if she bothered to keep the drinks coming, but she kept disappearing. Oh well crappy experience. Probably will never dine in again. They need to work on hiring efficient and happy servers.
(2)Edward M.
Okay, first of all, as one who was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, I still maintain that New York/Brooklyn pizza is the best ever. That having been said, I really liked Beggar's. The crust was good, the sauce was good, and the toppings were generously applied. No skimping. My family ordered four large with different topping selections on each and they were all good, even the plain cheese. It may not be Brooklyn pizza but it was one of the best Midwest pizzas I've tasted.
(4)Tiffany H.
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!!!!!
(4)Monique E.
Great find thanks to Yelp!! Amazing Chicago style deep dish!!! Great service too! Not to mention good beers on tap!!
(5)Keisha J.
I've been going to Beggar's for the past 10 yrs...and i've NEVER had a bad pizza!!...over the years the prices have risen TREMENDOUSLY...but the quality has remained awesome...my fave is the deep dish sausage & cheese!!!
(5)Jim C.
Pizza is heavy but loaded with ingredients. Sauce makes the pizza and Beggars has always been a favorite since I tried it in Blue Island. My wife likes thin light crust so I have to have it only when she is not around. Will always be one of the best. Carry out is pretty good. Keep in mind a lot of young folks working there and not always as attentive as they should be but timeliness usually pretty accurate. Great place for groups and or school / team functions.
(5)Steve M.
I needed to buy the guys at work a pizza for lunch. They all wanted Beggars pizza. This was my first time trying it. All I can say is excellent!!! Nice thick layer of toppings and cheese. They ordered it well done and it was perfect. I wish I had one close to my house.
(5)Laura B.
Just had a great spaghetti dinner with meatballs. Our server Zach was excellent. Very courteous and never had to ask for refills. Everything we requested he was prompt and we had a very very good experience. This was our second time there and we will come back.
(5)Tammy W.
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!
(1)Gloria A.
Ever since I moved with my family to the south 'burbs in the early 2000s, we have loved getting Beggar's. I've never dined in at any of their locations, so I can't vouch for that, but their pizza has never failed us. It's great that they're opening more locations across Chicagoland and we've gotten pizza from their Mokena location, which is closer to where we currently live. However, pizza from the OF location tastes slightly better than the latter. Best pizza chain by far!
(5)Kirk H.
Great service great food, always. I Don't eat the sausage on pizza always get a chunk of foreign piece of animal that can't be masticated. I get hamburger instead on pizza. Fun place!!!!
(5)Rob J.
Hands down the best pizza chain. Although a bit on the pricey side you pay for what you get which is one of the tastiest, flavorful, and filling pizzas. Like the slogan says "we lay it on thick". This isn't the typical thin crust style pizza that is like cardboard.
(5)Michael C.
Great pizza, good service. I sometimes go up here for Monday Night Football 10 dollar domestic buckets of beer and free food at half time. So for 25 bucks you are buzzed, full, watched a football game, and you left a a tip, now that's not a bad night!!!!!
(4)Julie O.
I am not sure what happened for other reviewers who gave this location good reviews, but I know I will not go back to Beggars on Cicero. Service was sketchy at best, never too sure who our server actually was. Busser was content to completely reach over people to take whatever he needed, whether it be a plate of a salt shaker - Rude! The food was bland at best. We had salad and pizza, and neither were very good. The pizza was served hot but it was flavorless. There is just too much pizza out there for me to make return trips to places that can't get it right.
(1)Ted R.
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.
(4)
