The story of Beggars Pizza is a story of family—the members of the Garetto family and every team member who became family along the way. We first opened our doors in 1976, as a mom-and-pop Italian restaurant on Chicago’s South Side. Over two dozen locations across Illinois and Northwestern Indiana later, and the Garetto family is still at the heart of our operations, leading the way for our growing team to carry on a tradition of the finest ingredients, most welcoming atmosphere, and great times guaranteed.
You may have noticed we have a strange sense of humor. Maybe we're even a little irreverent at times. Can you blame us? We sell amazing pizza and a chocolate chip cookie that’s bigger than your head. We make the kind of food that fuels great times. So if it seems like we’re having too much fun, it’s because no matter what we do, we lay it on thick.
We take pride in feeding fans at Guaranteed Rate Field as a pizza partner of the Chicago White Sox. It means every time you eat at Beggars Pizza, you’re getting a little taste of the South Side.
Servers, drivers, kitchen staff—we couldn’t do it without them, and that’s why we pride ourselves on offering flexible hours, competitive pay, and an atmosphere that makes coming to work something to smile about.
