Never tried it. How does it compare to KFC?

It's better chicken, less expansive of a menu

I've enjoyed their chicken sandwiches and biscuits.

That said, definitely check out the new Louie Wingz, in the old Maria Elena's location in Hilltop! Catfish and chicken both very solid - tasty pepper rub, delicious sauce. Small family operation.

Their spicy chicken is good & hot.

Agreed.  I gained 5 lbs. just thinking about it!  ;)

I can't wait to try it! I've wanted to for a long time. I've heard rumors also of a Beggar's Pizza coming to town. Are those true?

At what location is Popeyes going?


I have heard it will be near Walmart, Tractor Supply, and Murphy's Gas.

There is a building being constructed there.

Where are they putting the Beggar's Pizza in Valpo?

EDIT:Never mind, I found it. Seems it's up on north Calumet up by El Salto's in that plaza.

It opened yesterday at 4:00 p.m.

I guess I've seen Beggar's Pizza billboards on 294 or such.

Is it good? Worth trying? Better than other options?

It's not bad. It's a little heavier in dough and ingredients than like Gelsossamos.

Their cheese filled breadsticks are pretty good

Looks like they have a wide range of styles. Deep dish as well as stuffed. I still don't have a deep dish place in Valpo...

Can their thin crust really take 30 minutes?

Just tried it tonight... Hadn't had it since I went to a Sox game a year or two ago but I remembered it being pretty good.

The deep dish I had tonight  was really good. Even better than I remembered, and the portions are massive. It can get a little pricey if you go for several toppings like we did (pepperoni sausage green pepper onion) but it's well worth it. True to their slogan, they really do go  heavy on sauce and toppings, but the amount of ingredients used is neither excessive nor out of balance. Take this solely for what it is: one man's opinion; but I loved it and will definitely be ordering again . Probably fairly soon.

The non-spicy chicken is bland. KFC much better.

Tony's deep dish is to die for, is it not?

Gelsosomos has a fairly good deep dish pizza.
