Beggars Pizza

Been going to this location for a while now, nothing but GOOD things to say. Service is great, always pleasant and courteous. Food has also been great for take out & dine in. Would say it can get a bit pricey, but that all depends on what you order from any Chain restaurant.

We had a party of 15 or so to celebrate a friends 50^th birthday yesterday. Beggars went above and beyond to make our event terrific. Pam was a wonderful waitress. Thank you Beggars !!!

Went to this place on a Sunday night, and the pizza was buried and little or no toppings on the slices. Service was great, but way over priced. We will never go back. Don’t waist your time or money. Much better places in the area for much better price.

Seated fast. Started off with appetizer we had cheesy garlic bread it wasn’t that great I just taste like bread with slightly melted mozzarella on top barely any garlic and it’s didn’t seem fresh, then we ordered burgers to eat there and personal pizzas to go let me tell you the burgers are NOT FRESH! I can tell they are frozen burgers they have no flavor and are very very dry I damn near choked trying to eat my burger it looked good but it wasn’t I ordered it well done and that it was plus more. My mans burger was suppose to be well done but it was medium it looked gross. Now the pizza was the worst pizza I had I ordered a spinach pizza with probably like two leaves of spinach on it my cheese was not laid on thick at all it was so bland this is the worst beggars pizza I have ever been to. If you decide to eat here hopefully your shit will be better then ares because the food last night was nasty nothing was good and I wouldn’t go back and I wouldn’t recommend anybody to go there and eat. If you want beggars please chose a different location.

Well, after a long absence, we thought we’d give this place another try. Sad to say, it has not improved. One of the good things is we were seated promptly at a window booth, which we enjoy for people watching. We noticed there was no condiment tray on our table and it was uncomfortably warm in there. Melissa appeared and asked for our drink order. We also ordered our food at the same time and asked for the condiment tray. She took one from another table and put it on ours. Our drinks came out fairly quickly, brought by another waitress. Then we waited about 10 to 15 minutes for our salads, again brought by another waitress. The salads were fair with large pieces of romaine, the tomatoes were hard and tasted bad, but the garlic dressing was very good. The main courses (lasagna and thin spaghetti w/​garlic butter sauce) arrived in due time (again brought by another waitress) and were very tasty, but the bread that came with them was stale. Melissa came around 2 or 3 times when she could tear herself away from the other male waiter. If she cared for her customers half as much as? she might get some bigger tips. It will be a long time before we return unless things change for the better. BTW, we tried the thin crust pizza, Italian beef, fish and chips, and only the Italian beef was worth having again.

Best pizza in the area. Also the best Beggars I’ve had. Been to a few different Beggars and this one is the best.

I have had beggars in past never from this location. The crust was way thicker then the others. The cheese did not cover the pizza. I’ve always had a Healthy layer of cheese not on this one.

Worst experience ever! Do not order from here unless you already ate before coming here! Would give it 0 stars if possible! After a long commute home, wanted to pick a couple slices of pizza for my husband and I, thought this would be the quickest and easiest option for dinner. I got there at 7:15pm they had very few slices left so I ordered a deep dish sausage and ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich for myself instead since they did not have pepperoni. Worst decision ever!!! I paid at 7:24pm. At 7:45 I asked the lady who took my order how much longer, she said 5 minutes… lies! There were 3 men also waiting for an order they placed and asked me how long I have been waiting, when I told them half an hour for a chicken sandwich they immediately stopped a lady who worked there who was walking by (manager maybe) I explained that I have been waiting for 35 minutes now for a freaking chicken sandwich and she immediately went to the back to check on my order. After 4 – 5 minutes she came back with my order, she was very nice apologized and asked if I wanted a free pop or cookie… at this point I wanted to leave! Finally Got my food after 40 minutes of waiting!!! When I got home, a 5 minute drive, I gave my husband his slice of pizza and it was disgusting!!! The sauce was dry and the slice was tiny! I ordered bleu cheese on my sandwich and got charged .89¢, surprise… no bleu cheese! Never again am I ordering from here!!! I get that they may be busy but the management team needs to hire more people to cook if that’s the issue. Unacceptable!

The environment is great, the employees are wonderful, the location is great, and the pizza is great. I’m not disappointed whiting, IN location, you’ve made a client here compared to your other locations. I like this location plenty. I always come here with a large group, from triple dates towards family and/​or friend nights.

Decided last minute to meet for a quick bite with a friend at Beggars. We were seated right away and was impressed as it was Friday night. It took a little while for our waitress to finally come around and take our drink order. Once we placed that, we immediately placed our order for appetizers as well. Upon bringing our drinks back, we decided we were ready to order our dinner as well. My friend asked for an individual slice of pizza and I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and we decided we would split it. It seriously took forever to receive our food once the order was placed. Our waitress was polite but not attentive. Don’t think I will be coming back anytime soon.

The food is ok. I’m not a fan at all with their sauce because it taste like tomato soup with sugar. Yuck! Also the last three times that I visit… the waiters must not be very knowledgeable in food because every time I asked for the chicken noodle soup, they bring me minstroni soup. Your staff really needs to look at what their serving or stop hiring idiots… Your job isn’t hard at all and considering when they forget the soup to begin with they still fuck up. Please change the size of the strawberry daiquiri I feel that I shouldnt pay for a cup when it should be served in a glass. very tacky and a rip off. Also teach your bartender to put liquor in your daiquiris I didn’t taste any liquor in it at all, if that was the case I could have stood my ass home and made one myself… Indecisive to want to go back ever!

March 12^th, 2015. I called in a order at 7:24 p.m. I told girl about on line coupon. She had no idea and put guy on the phone (Ernesto) and he had no idea what I was talking about. So, I had to email him the coupon to his personal email. He said, if he couldn’t take it he would call me back with price adjustment. So, I’m waiting and nothing. I call back at 9:30 p.m. to see where my order is. Jackie, who answered the phone, couldn’t find my order. So, Ernesto got back on the phone and said no order was ever made. WHAT? Then why did he have to confirm my coupon? Crystal got on the phone and didn’t know nothing. So, instead of offering any type of solution, he wants me to place order. It now 10 o’clock at night. No I didn’t want to place an order! Big disappointment!

Our server Joe is so squad. Made some bomb recommendations. Came in for pizza, ended up having flame nachos with a pitcher of Pepsi and a sweet deep dish cookie for dessert. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend Joe as your server.

Good pizza but pricey for the area. Service is ok considering they’re very young. The big screen TVs make the wait time more bearable.

food is delic. its pricey but my family and I love it! service is good not great. waitress made a mistake on our receipt but after a phone call they fixed it and gave us a credit!

Ok… So a few things. I have always liked Beggars on Ridge Rd. In Whiting, their prices are pricy, especially for that area. I came here for a late lunch with my mom and little brother. The place was empty besides the booth next to ours. The wait for our pizza was quite long. But we kept ourselves entertained by the 3 flies that we had to kill that kept thumping into the window. Beyond gross… The service was horrible. The server left us tiny plates for our pizza. The pizza was yummy. We finished our pizza, and our server was MIA.
I might have to try them again, maybe the service might be better.

I haven’t have a review in awhile but I’ve been sitting here for an hr so I had some time. I love their pizza but this service blows!

The pizza here is good, with very generous application of ingredients and cheese that make it a good value. The calamari, not a generous portion — not a good value.
The service is average. Nothing special, adequate.
This location in Whiting is NOISY. There is thin carpet on the floor and no other fabric in the place to soak up any sound. There are TVs and music playing at the same time and you have to shout to be heard across a table.
Four stars for the pizza, three stars for the service, and one star for the ambience. Stay at home and have your pizza delivered.

Nice to see a new restaurant option in downtown Whiting. I went here on a business lunch yesterday (4÷25÷2013), and it was ok, nothing great.
I had the Italian Beef (with giardiniera) and French Fries. The beef itself was quite tough/​rubbery, and Au Jus (for dipping) was very greasy, with about a ½″ layer of pure grease/​fat floating on top. So much so, that when I dipped my sandwich in… it was just coated with grease/​fat, which wasn’t at all appetizing. I’m thinking that they probably just ladled the Au Jus out from the top of the container (where all the grease accumulates) instead of stirring it up first.
All in all, I was rather disappointed with the sandwich. The service was great, as were the french fries. I’ll probably go here again, but I won’t be ordering the rubber bands… er, I mean the Italian beef.
P. S. — I was on my lunch break… so no alcohol for me, but I did notice that have a few decent beers on the menu. Might pop in for an after-​work drink someday., but will steer clear of the Ital Beef. For all the BP folks, you’ll be delighted to know that they do indeed accept AMEX.

Grand opening! Super Packed, Can’t wait for my deep dish :)
Soooo many Craft beers on tap! Amazing.
