The homemade sausage is very good, a tad different than other places. It has lots of fennel seed and not sure if it has beef mixed in, but def has a beefy flavor. The candied jalapeños had a nice tanginess, zippy spice and subtle sweetness. Such a fantastic combination. The workers were nice. For younger kids, they sure seemed efficient and organized working in a smaller space with so many orders. Definitely will come back next time I visit the area.

I was persuaded to try the candied jalapeños with my sausage and mushroom & was not disappointed! A 12inch was good enough for me and a friend, but it was so good I wish had leftovers for later. This is a nice hidden gem for anyone looking for great takeaway pizza.

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!!

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.

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!

Kim's Uncle Pizza in Westmont delivers a focused, uncompromising take on Chicago-style tavern…read morepizza. Thin, square-cut, and baked well-done, the pie showcases a crisp, structurally sound crust with just enough char to add bitterness and depth without overpowering the bite. The pepperoni is assertive and well-distributed, releasing savory oils that mingle with a bright, balanced tomato sauce and evenly browned cheese. Each slice holds its integrity--no flop, no excess grease--allowing the quality of the ingredients to remain front and center. The restraint here is intentional; nothing feels overworked or gratuitous. Kim's Uncle keeps the operation deliberately narrow: one pizza size, phone-in ordering only, and a clear commitment to execution over expansion. The result is a confident, old-school tavern pie that respects tradition while delivering precision. For those who appreciate classic Chicago pizza done thoughtfully and without compromise, this is essential. 9/10.

There's plenty of parking in the lot just north of the restaurant, and when I stepped out of my car and into the chilly January air, it was like a religious experience - the smell, THAT GOOD SMELL, the smell you smell when you know you're about to have some truly tremendous pizza. Inside is little more than a counter, a couple of booths, and a stool to sit on and wait, and it couldn't be any more charming. The pizza box stole my heart too, not your average boot of Italy here. I don't know that I would do the hot soppressata over regular pepperoni (could just be that I don't like it as much, but I wanted to try), otherwise this was delicious. Lovely, crispy, caramelized edges, just divine.

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.

Walking in, I gravitated towards the sign of specials, and then was guided to a table. Along with complimentary bread, I was treated to the sight of an owner (Mama Brasi, as one customer called her) who was visibly engaged in the lives of the clientele, both with repeat customers carrying out as well as with a family dining in, and their little girl who was a fan of salads. A hot bowl of minestrone arrived and added to the warm feelings. But it was the eggplant involtini special that was the star. Cooked and seasoned well, a healthy supply of sauce (I could see some sauce fiends wanting more, but I was content), and enough to take home a bit for lunch the next day. Early November was a little chilly sitting by the door, so keep that in mind for colder months, as there's not much they can do about that.
