Some of the BEST pizza on the Southside of Chicago. Beggars on 127th Western. I haven't had good pizza in 8 years, the last time I was in Chicago and Beggars did not disappoint !!!

This is the best beggars!! I have to go to the one in New Lenox because it's the closest to me from where I live and the taste is definitely different. Beggars in Blue Island needs to share the cooks with the New Lenox location. Nothing beats the original!!

Always quality food , different sizes of pie, and assortment of Italian food made from old world respies. A little on the expensive side, but always worth the money.

No one cares about 2nd place or losers. This pizzeria is neither. IDK what to say. At this point I just want a big ass fruit tray. Because where is all this delicious meat coming from.

I've been to this Beggars dozens of times and I have to say the pizza is always cheesy and delicious. If you're looking for some pizza always go to Beggars. I'd also like to thank Beggars Pizza for being at the taste of Blue Island yearly for the past 7 years

The staff has always been gracious and accommodating to us when we have come in. I give the staff so much credit for taking abusive behavior from some customers who use racially offensive language against a predominantly Hispanic staff who are hardworking and honest individuals.
