Fast Eddys Pizza and Bar — Restaurant in Downers Grove

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.

It honestly makes me laugh when reading recent reviews because you can tell when someone uses Chat GPT to write reviews. It’s painstakingly bad and trying too hard.

I came here for a carry out but I would love to dine in. They have a good amount of seating available and plenty of parking. To find them, they’re located on the right side of Panda Express in a separate parking lot. The owners were very welcoming. The aroma from the pizza was very intoxicating on the way home. I ordered the 18” Paulies pepperoni drizzle. Ingredients are pepperoni, drops of ricotta cheese, and honey. It’s Chicago tavern style. Once you take that first bite, you can immediately feel the soft crunch along with the sweetness coming from the honey. You can feel pretty stuffed after 10 pieces, so I recommend sharing this with your family, friends, or significant others. If you do decide to take it home, use a pizza stone to heat it up. It’ll retain that crunchiness. A cheap pizza pan won’t do it...

Tried Fast Eddy’s for the first time last week—and let me tell you, it did not disappoint!

We sampled a few different pizzas (for science), and despite my Chicago instincts screaming nooooo, we went with a New York-style pie… because our friends from Boston insisted. I figured I owed them that tiny favor—after all, they only have the third-best pizza in the country (shoutout Chicago Tavern and Deep Dish), and the Red Sox have never beaten the White Sox in the postseason. 😏

But let’s talk standouts: Paulie’s Pepperoni Drizzle – Hot honey on pizza? YES PLEASE. The Mobster Meat – Italian beef on top. Bold move. Big flavor. Major win. Both were absolute flavor bombs and earned an enthusiastic “would eat again.”

Then came dessert—and this is where the night turned legendary. We tried the Gelato, Lemon Cake, Cannoli, and the epic Spumoni Bomb. Each one was dangerously good. Like, "how do I sneak back here tomorrow" good.

The cherry on top? The vibe. Cozy and welcoming, perfect for a small crew. The staff? Incredible. We even got to meet both Eddys (yes, two of them—check out their story online!), and our server Julia was a total rockstar—super attentive and on top of everything.

Fast Eddy’s gets a solid two-thumbs-up from me. Go check it out—you’ll be...

My mom & are always looking for a good spot to eat that’s also not too far from our homes. We were craving an Italian beef sandwich & were having difficulty finding one open NYE weekend. We think it was meant to be because after the second disappointment, we came across Fast Eddy’s.

I believe the universe was on our side, guiding our hungry butts here. The atmosphere is welcoming as soon as you step inside, everybody is so nice & patient. I came with two kids under 5 so that means a lot to me. The hospitality of everyone in this joint is indescribable.

The food being amazing too is the icing on the cake. My mom & I came back 4 days later to try other things we didn’t get to try. Both times were like the other where were greeted with smiles & amazing good food. I can’t wait to come back with my sister.

My favorites so far are the roast beef pizza, the meatballs & the cannoli? To die for. I also had the wings (honey mustard & buffalo) , chicken tenders & cheese curds. Ugh those cheese curds were perfect - i don’t know if they were breaded or just straight up dropped in the fryer but they tasted like they were breaded in crispy cheese. Phenomenal- they were so lightweight & airy but perfectly cheesy. I can’t wait to go back for that cannoli that won’t...
