Stop #10 - Beggar's Pizza (Plainfield)

Should you be beggin' for Beggar's?
In this house, we won't be begging but one of us would request it more frequently than the other.  Chris and I headed out for lunch last Saturday to Plainfield to see if the White Sox's choice of pizzas is good in and out of the park.

Location

The original location is out by Midway and we didn't want to travel that far.  The Plainfield location is south on Rt. 59, just past the Renwick intersection.  When you turn in you don't see it at first but head to the smaller strip mall to the left and you'll find it.

When we walked it there was one other couple and us.  Maybe they are busier at dinner time but even the hostess stand when you walk in is empty.  I will tell you it wasn't the best first impression for a place that says you can order pizza by the slice and you don't have any displayed.  There was only one other couple that came in while we were waiting and they had pre-ordered their pizza before they came in.

Food
We didn't order any appetizers this time around and opted for a medium thin crust, half pepperoni / half sausage.  The sausage wasn't anything special and in fact neither one of us thought it tasted that good.
Chris thought the pepperoni was fine.  The cheese is laid on thick and the sauce was nothing special - more like a tomato paste with little seasoning, if any at all.

Total people: 2
Total bill: $21.78 (2 Pepsis & 1 medium pizza)

Rhode's Recommendation - Maybe
I personally would not crave pizza and suggest Beggar's Pizza.  I'd equate it to ordering Rosati's or Home Run Inn and I would still recommend one of those over Beggar's.  I expected a lot more flavor with the pizza and felt like the cheese drowned out what flavor there could have been.  Chris on the other hand, well watch his review here:
