This place gets busy very quickly. I highly recommend coming when they first open. By 12pm on a Saturday the place was full. This is a very family friendly spot and I loooooove it. Kids were given pizza dough to keep them busy while there. I tried the spinach + artichoke white pizza and the B-OG. Both extremely flavorful with high quality ingredients. The crust was cooked to perfection, crispy and fluffy at the same time. Customers have a view of the kitchen so they are able to see their pizzas being made, it's really cool. I plan on being frequent here, everything about it is EXCELLENT.

In retrospect I get it. You order at the counter then seat yourself. The dining are was loud, even at a tall table in the corner conversation was difficult. The staff was attentive asking us if we needed anything, other than our food...no. My friend ordered the "white pizza" that has WAY too much garlic. I had my standard sausage/mushroom/cheese. Not over garlic, but unremarkable. If we return it would be carry out, but I doubt that is going to happen.

We got seated right away, got recommended the BEST Italian beer on tap which was CRISP. We ordered a garden salad to start with Italian seasoning - so refreshing and delicious The pizza was next! Crust was perfectly crispy - not too thick and not too cracker like, cheese was perfectly gooey, sauce was impeccable, and the toppings were loaded on -- we did jalapeños and pepperoni and it was FIRE! Seriously the BEST tavern style pizza we have tasted in the Chicago burbs! Absolutely amazing!! Service is super friendly, you can tell this is a spot where locals keep coming back. It's got that "everyone knows your name" kind of vibe. Bottom line: if you're in Downers Grove and want GREAT pizza without the chain vibe, Fast Eddy's is a winner. Can't wait to go back!!

I don't like medium thick crust, the sauce and the sausage were both not to my liking. No fennel on the sausage and it was pretty tasteless. The decor is fine. Nobody was in the place.

We tried both the homestyle thin crust pizza and pan pizza. Normally, we are not fans of thin crust…read more(the homestyle) pizza, but figured we had to try it since that is their specialty. We are so glad we did! Because the cheese was perfectly gooey without being overwhelming paired with a delicious tomato sauce atop a complimentary crust with just the right amount of give to it. This may be the only thin crust pizza I would continue to get. The pan pizza was basically just the thin crust pizza with a lip on the perimeter and more cheese. This pizza was not nearly as good as the thin crust because if I'm going to eat a non-thin crust pizza, I want a more doughy crust and this just did not deliver. There was also too much cheese and it wasn't charred the same way the thin crust was. The inside is quaint with hats from all over everywhere. Service is also very kind and as quick as they can be with how busy it is. My only complaint is I wish they had a vegetable side dish that was fried, but it's a local pizza shop and perhaps not the right audience for this.

I grabbed a large pizza with giardiniera and wow... it was amazing. The sauce was spectacular--rich, tangy, and full of flavor. The crust was on point, crispy yet chewy, the kind that makes you keep going back for "just one more slice." It was a little heavy on the cheese, and the middle got a bit soggy because of it, but honestly, that didn't stop me from devouring it. Still a solid pizza overall and definitely worth a stop if you're in Downers Grove craving something classic and comforting!

Very good tavern style pizza. We did a half pepperoni and half sausage pizza. Both were good, yet…read morethe pepperoni while it was generous in portion was a tad on the greasy and saltier side. The sausage was definitely the fan favorite for the kids. I have to say the pizza crust was really enjoyable, crispy throughout and not too paper thin and robust enough to hold all toppings. As far as service, it's best to call in ahead to put in your order, as I've heard they only pump out 100 or so pizzas per day and seem to be in high demand. For example, we called in on a weekday at 4:45pm and pick up wouldn't be until 6:35pm. So roughly, two hour wait which was on par with what I've read about. The shop itself is very small. Only two tables and the rest of the space is dedicated to the kitchen and pizza oven. I'd recommend taking to go as inside runs hot from the big ol' oven. All in all, really great quality tavern style. Worth a try if you can time the order with when you want to eat. =P 'Til next time, cheers!

My wife wanted a dinner so she got salmon with roasted potatoes and broccoli. I wanted more of an appetizer type lunch so I orders a slice of cheese pizza, fried calamari, and garlic bread. My wife didn't want her salad because of this latest lettuce scare, so I scarfed it down. Everything I had was outstanding. The pizza was really good, with a crisp crust and great sauce. The garlic bread was very tasty and came with a marinara dip. The calamari was crispy and light. My wife liked her salmon, although the picture on their website made it look a little bigger than actual size. Potatoes and broccoli were good, she said. The real question is, would I return? A resounding yes, I would say. I really liked it.

I ordered garlic bread and a 14" meat lovers pizza to go. They do have some seating inside, more seating than I expected. Initially, the garlic bread was okay. It has a more buttery taste than the other ones I've had. After I reheated it on my pizza stone, it became very tasty and crispy. The garlic bread I give it is 4.5. It tastes great if you use a pizza stone. The pizza on the other hand, I was underwhelmed. I ate it when it was fresh as well as on the pizza stone. The crust is bland and tasteless. The sauce was great. The toppings were okay. I ordered this ultra thin, crispy, and extra sauce. Pizza is like 2.5-3. Overall experience is a 3. This is a one and done for me.
