Fast Eddy's is exactly what I want in a local pizza joint -- low key, super friendly, and delicious. Went in on a weekday night for dinner and they were FAST -- living up to the name. 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!! read more

The service was great. Owner met me at the door greeted me warmly had a great conversation while waiting to pick up my takeout pizza. I have one pie here. I'm sorry I just didn't like it. 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. read more

One month update: We decided to dine in to get the full experience. I didn't get any pizza this time because I wanted to try other things on the menu. It was pretty empty on a Wednesday night after 7:30 pm. Just a FYi, it's $1 wings on Wednesdays and the wings are very meaty. We ordered a dozen wings, Mama Tucci's Italian homemade meatballs, bucatini spaghetti, and cannoli. Service was excellent. Prices were reasonable for the generous portions. -wings 5 - we got the garlic parmigiana and the wings had great flavor on the inside and outside. Meat was very juicy. -meatballs 5 - these are very big and cheesy. I like the seasoning that went inside. Not salty. -bucatini spaghetti 5 - you get a huge plate of salad before receiving the spaghetti. The spaghetti comes with 2 huge meatballs and the noodles are chewy and tasty. -cannoli 5 - I love the sweet cream filling. It's finger licking good. read more

From out of town. Ordered an extra thin extra crispy with pepperoni onion mushroom. And got just that! Onions and mushrooms thinly sliced so were cooked and a nice amount of sauce. Loved it and will definitely return when in town. read more

The dishes tasted amazing! I ordered pasta carbonara and my partner got the seafood risotto. The staff was super friendly and gave us some great suggestions.

This is some of the best pizza I've ever had. It was light, fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. The service was incredible and the staff friendly. What an absolute find! Customer for life. read more

Tried here when in the area and wanted to try somewhere new. Pizza was average, wings were passable. Not the best not the worst, worth a try if in the area. They do have a small dine in area, but all tall tables which I find not comfortable. Server was friendly, he was one of the owners. The other owner also came out and was in charge of the backend. It looks like they recently remodeled and were trying to improve the looks and quality of everything, so I plan on coming back in a few months to see if there were any more changes/improvements. read more

Ordered several pizzas for my workplace, it was good. The pizzas were all the thin and crispy except for one, and the crusts were all good, toppings out to the edges, generous toppings, and everything was cooked "just right..." crispy on the highlights, nicely done all the way through. The basil on the Margherita was extremely fresh and aromatic! read more

Visiting Illinois from California. Staying in Downers Grove and stumbled across Fast Eddys! Ordered a 14" sausage pie. Simply put, delizioso. Light, crispy crust. Beautiful sauce and not greasy at all! The place has a nostalgic, old school feel to it! Called it in prior to arriving. I was greeted by a nice gentleman that was very welcoming and even shook my hand after talking to him for a bit and receiving my pizza from him. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Tried this place when they first opened didn't really remember why I stopped ordering from this pizza place It had been over a year. Thought I'd give it another try ... bad decision. My main complaint is the dough (crust) in my opinion it's old not made fresh and the sauce is so bland. I have been to so many pizza places and this place was a huge disappointment (again) and wondering how hard is it to make pizza dough and some fresh sauce. Now I've tried this place 2x both times this place was unsatisfactory -changes should be made (make fresh pizza dough and fresh pizza sauce) Pizza crust taste like freezer burn dried out. Yuck! read more

In short, this is now my favorite pizza restaurant after my first time here. We were greeted by our server Michelle who was incredibly nice every moment we were there. We got our drinks, an appetizer of mozzarella sticks, and ordered the 'Paulies Pepperoni Drizzle.' This was truly one of the best pizzas I've ever had, and I don't give a compliment like that lightly. Every aspect of the pizza was perfect; the perfectly crispy tavern style crust, the flavorful homemade sauce, a great blend of cheese, even more flavorful and crispy pepperoni, with the incredible combination of hot honey and fresh crumbles of ricotta to top it off. Then for dessert we had the cannolis which were clearly fresh made as the shell was nice and crispy, rather than some restaurants that serve pre-made cannolis. What really blew us away was Eddy coming out from the kitchen asking everyone how their pizza is. It's obvious he takes great care about the food he makes and that people enjoy it. I could go on quite a bit at how amazing the service and food was, we will most definitely be back soon. Thank you for a wonderful experience! read more

Good Tavern style pie, great crust, but under seasoned at time, hit or miss. If you dine in, be warned. Service is good but food is served with a steady feed of NewsMax on the TV's (with volume..) over the bar, and the regulars like to discuss how many immigrants had been deported that day. If that, and the conversations surrounding that MAGA POV are not your scene, I would recommend delivery. read more

Amazing service fastest take-out I have ever had. The food was amazing so good, best pizza I have ever had. The experience felt like an authentic Chicago pizza shop. I fully recommend so any person in Chicago. read more

We live about 40 minutes from Fast Eddies and went there on a whim and definitely plan to go back! The Mama Tucci's meatballs were the best we have had! The wings baked & then fried- skin was so crispy and very meaty wings. They were just outstanding! We could not finish our pizza, and Eddie gave us a tip on how to reheat. It worked perfectly and tasted as good as the first time! The lemon cake was over the top and more than enough for the two of us to share! Atmosphere was delightful, the staff & guests, very friendly and enjoyable. Nice Vibe and we enjoyed our time there! We will be back as we want to try the cheese curds, Gelato bomb and Chicken Parmesan. Highly recommend this place, definitely 5 stars, actually more like 10! read more

Fast Eddy's Pizza and Bar Never Disappoints! Great Food & Drinks, Great Service, Great Atmosphere to watch a Sporting Event!

Ordered take-out last night from Fast Eddys - this was my fifth order but first time ordering online. I should start with: I love Fast Eddys pizza, they really nail tavern style pizza. The crust is crispy with a nice tangy sauce and the toppings are so fresh. I order something different each time - last night I ordered pineapple, sausage and giardiniera - perfect if you love sweet and spicy. We went to pickup early because we like to have a cocktail at their bar while we wait for our order. The place was packed! I thought we would be waiting a long time, but the order was in the oven. Perfect! Had a nice time talking with the owner and bartender/server. Even people from other tables were joining in the conversation. The phones were ringing with orders coming in, people at tables were ordering, and yet the server was still able to make me feel like I was getting personal service. The service is friendly and attentive, the food is really tasty, consistent and made with care and the prices are very low for what you get. I honestly can't say enough good things about Fast Eddys. You have to try it if you like homemade italian food and tavern style pizza. 15/10 read more

I really like their pizza. Crunchy thin crust and good ingredients on top. Service is slow though and very little room to eat inside.

The owners and the atmosphere and especially the food are phenomenal. We look forward to going back here supporting our area businesses, but just the laughs of these owners and people and again the food is phenomenal. I can't get over how impressed we are and we will continue to give them our business going forward.. read more

I came back to Fast Eddy's today and they offered me a free large pizza along with a complimentary order of meatballs as compensation for the mishap with my order during the last visit. This experience was quick and easy. As before the pizza was wonderful. I can also highly recommend the meatballs as they were adequate in size and flavor with a healthy portion of sauce To accompany it. read more

Stopped in the get some cheese curds and a pizza. Both were very good. While I was there I noticed a gothic bad boy and chatted with him for a bit. He was nice too, and he smelled great. 10/10 will come again. read more

This was our third time having pizza from Fast Eddy's since they joined the neighborhood. The first couple times, in October and November, we were floored by the generous herbs sprinkled atop the cheese, the rich sauce and delicious tavern style crust. (These two experiences were definitely five star worthy) Tonight, the herbs were absent, the sauce was sweeter and the crust was chewy- it honestly seemed like completely different pizza. We are hopeful this was a one time blip and look forward to trying again! read more

Visiting from Los Angeles and tried various pizza places and they were average. Until we found Fast Eddy's pizza. The pizza was cooked just right. By far the best pizza we had on our trip. Their fries were pretty good too. If ur near the Lombard area in Chicago, I recommend this place. I'll be sure to visit here again on my next visit. Thank you Fast Eddys pizza for providing great food and service. read more

Picked up several large pizzas for my son's football team, and wow. pizza tasted great. The sausage was the perfect size and perfect amount. The staff was very friendly and enjoyed the neighborhood bar ambiance while having a beer as I waited for my order. Will definitely be going back. read more

First time customer. Had take out wings. Quantity of 12. Friendly greeting by server. Very sweet. I wanted to try these wings as they are advertised as being very good. I just finished 9. Good size , well sauced. The buffalo sauce was good. Larger portioned wings. Also larger containers of blue cheese and ranch. My only feedback is the wings could have been crisper. Very meaty, tender and great taste. But not crispy Otherwise great wings. read more

I feel sad giving a 3 star review, but honesty is best here. First, the lady who greeted me could not have been nicer! Warm, pleasant, and seemed genuine. I ordered meatballs and wings to go. Upon getting home, the food looked great, but I have some issues here. First, the meatballs. They were just bland. Lacked seasoning of the most basic kind: salt and pepper. Next, they didn't match any pictures I've seen as they had no toast points and no ricotta. I feel like had I dined in, I would have gotten a presentation atleast. For me, these were a total miss. Next, the wings. I got them with their signature garlic parmigiana sauce. I did order a side of marinara, but didn't receive it. Would have gladly paid extra. The wings were very, very good. I added some lemon pepper to them when I got home and they really popped. I feel like a fun accent point would be for them to shake some tomato powder over the top and really hammer home that these are Italian wings. However, they did a great job with them. Overall, I would return for the hospitality and the wings, and maybe try some pizza. I think they will figure things out, as maybe it was just an off day for the meatballs. Give it a shot for yourself! read more

I checked this restaurant out for the first time with a group of friends. The service was great only to be topped by the food. Most places with fried cheese curds taste about the same, but Eddy's has some extra good flavoring. It was also the first time having Arancini balls, I highly recommend them! read more

Pizza is incredible. All the ingredients are super fresh. I love getting red onion with spinach and mushrooms or Pauly's Pizza with pepperoni, ricotta and hot honey. Also highly recommend the breaded zucchini. Everything is crispy--not soggy and super fried. The thin crust is my favorite--whenever we order this pizza for guests, they love it! read more
