Beggars Pizza - Blue Island

The food was excellent—hot, fresh, and delicious. However, the service was somewhat lacking due to the scarcity of servers. The atmosphere could have been improved, especially since I visited during a busy time with at least three birthday parties happening, which created quite a lively crowd. When I first arrived at Beggars, there was no one at the front desk to greet us, and I had to wander around a bit before someone noticed me to take my order and assist me with seating.

I ordered an individual pizza, a cookie, and a sandwich, and I had to wait almost an hour for my order to arrive, with each item coming out separately. By the time my sandwich finally arrived, my daughter had already finished her meal. This delay points to a need for better scheduling by management, as I believe this issue doesn't reflect the staff's efforts but rather falls on management.

If there are any lawyers reading this, I encourage you to highlight the issues with this establishment. To the parents of special needs children, I am truly sorry and urge you not to let this business get away with its disrespectful behavior. The owner is clearly someone who lacks the courage to take responsibility—claiming that a group inside called the police instead of addressing the situation properly. I hope you see a decline in customers, especially with the holidays approaching. It’s not too late for the owner to make amends. I urge you to invite the affected families back and treat them with the respect they deserve. You will regret not doing so. P.S. I’m certain I won't be the only one advocating for this issue.

They denied service to special needs kids who where trying to gave a nice Sunday pizza called the cops on them and kids were coming from miles away on Pace bus, girls on wheelchairs and they were asked to wait outside because they felt uncomfortablehaving them wait inside. Little girl had a whole seizure in their parking lot! Unprofessional take your money elsewhere.

If I could leave no stars I would! This place denied service and CALLED THE POLICE on a group of special needs people and an elderly woman who wanted to enjoy time out together. They made them all stand outside in the cold and did not allow them in therestaurant based off of false accusations against them! Majority of them drove on a pace bus to get to this place. The managerherself lied and said the people called the police on themselves attempting to make it seem like these people don?t know better.Absolutely disgusting and awful, will never waste a dime here ever!
