Simply perfect. We tried the London Timmy with extra sausage, and it was the best surprise of the night. The fenugreek added an incredible depth of flavor, tying everything together beautifully, and the sausage was absolutely delicious. Our second pizza was The Puff Formerly Known As, which was equally impressive. The hint of lemon zest made every flavor pop without overpowering the pizza. The dough deserves a special mention: light, beautifully fermented, and made with Caputo flour, resulting in the perfect texture and bite. I have to admit--I never expected to find one of the top three pizzerias of my life in Eureka, but I did. A huge thank you to Bob for welcoming us into your beautiful and authentic restaurant. read more

2 hour wait. Way too long my brother in Christ 2 hours, is way too long for some pizza and garlic knots. I will maybe come back again.

The most adorable place with phenomenal food. The pizza is excellent!! It is nicer but not too fancy. A perfect date night or dinner out!! When passing through Eureka, please stop here. You won't regret it!! read more

Great pizzas! I got the sausage and really enjoyed. The service was awesome and they've got gelato in the back which is a huge bonus

The Best Pizza this side of Wales. Great spot that you'd think to find in NYC. The pizza cannot be beat. Drinks are awesome. Fun and friendly. My new local now that I've found it. Stay away. I want to make sure I can get in when I come here lol. read more

Came across this little pizza place with the friendliest people. Not a lot of seating so I would call ahead if you were bringing the family, I was in midweek and they were busy. Great atmosphere for a small place indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. Pizza menu is fun just to read through with pizza puffs named Dude looks like a Elote, Michael McDonald, and Burrata be kidding me, just to name a few. The pizza was served quickly and the crust coming out of that brick oven looked and tasted delicious. It was a puffy soft, chewy, and oven baked crust. The rest of the pie was good as well. During my dinner the White Sox were playing the Yankees, and the Cubs were playing the Mets with playoffs just a week away and 3 of those teams could be in it. It would have been nice to see one of those games on the TV behind the bar instead of the Smithsonian channel. My server Elly was outstanding, along with someone who seemed to be the Manager or Owner checking in with all the diners a number of times while I was there. Check this place out if you in the area. read more

These guys know how to make a pie. Definitely the best pizza in the general Peoria area. The spot is quaint and the staff always provides service with a smile. I would take pictures but the food is so good that I dig right in. Thank you to the Mayo family for bringing a great restaurant to the Eureka area. read more

Great Pizza place for Eureka! Love the gourmet menu, incredible pizza oven fired and baked to perfection. The Beet Salad and other Salads and appetizers are delicious. The garlic knots needed more garlic, but that is my only complaint. The service was friendly and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing. read more

I can't get enough of the PUFF! My husband and I heard about this spot and are from out of town. Being a pair of pizzaiolas ourselves we love a good pizza spot and it did not disappoint! - This spot has a cute cozy industrial flair. A hidden gem if you will... - Service was great! Everyone was so welcoming especially the bar manager. -Now let's get to the PUFF. They have that crust down! So light and airy. Really cool to see the rotating pizza oven that is actually Wood fired. The pizza was delicious. I have been dreaming of a pesto pizza since Italy and this hit the spot with a few surprises! Love the addition of actual walnuts and sausage... great pie. My husband had the sopressata, so good! We also had the olive appetizer that was amazing! Add two glasses of wine and if we lived here this would be our Friday night spot! read more

Best Gluten free pizza ever! So much fun to eat here and the service is always amazing!

This is one of our family's favorites. They have gluten and dairy free options! Love the Michael McDonald pizza.

What a wonderful experience! By far the highest quality and best tasting pizza in the Peoria Area. They are small like Neapolitan but have a bit more crisp like an East coast pizza! But still maintain the amazing Neapolitan crew! Basically- it's gorgeous pizza! You must get over there, enjoy the vibes, great staff, and freaking fantastic pizza!!! read more

Great food, great service! The atmosphere is awesome too. We had two different puff pizzas and they did not disappoint! We'll be back! read more

We chose the "Sausage +" puff and added mushrooms to it. So good...Make reservations as it's a small restaurant and enjoy! We'll be back- JohnnyE read more

Wendy Puff Pizzeria + Pub - Garlic knots w/ homemade marinara - Pizza Near Me - Eureka, Illinois

Incredible! This is well worth the drive up from the interstate and ignoring all the pizza in Peoria, except perhaps Peoria Pizza Kitchen, and tied with Flingers for my favorite middle Illinois pie shows. Wendy Puff is special stuff. The owner chefs are personable and remembered our friend's new baby, asked each of our names, and inquired in good timing throughout the evening. Sure the prices are ripe with Illinois taxes, the menu might seem small, and this gorgeously simple atmosphere does get loud with a crowd despite the low music but all entirely worth the small trades. Our cocktails, a strawberry gin fizz and maple syrup old fashioned hit smooth and sublime. Expertly balanced and crafted to match the foods, we had to go a second round with a sour, smashed expectations with its spicy chili simple. Us four went for four puffs as well, that's pizzas to you, called Puffs due to the extremely proofed dough which waits for three days before hitting the oven. And just like the world's greatest story, it sure is well risen after three days for the oven, becoming very thick and poofy, a perfect bed to rest the variety of excellent toppings and unique fare from sweet potato to walnut pesto. We stayed somewhat cautious going for familiar and trusted flavors. They were all amazing! Appetizers too, Italian street food could easily be a forever must do. However, the Soppressetta was in a class by itself being rich and filled with top notch tasty bites. This is one of those rare and golden meal moments that we all started looking at each other in the final moments of our meal saying this is now our place to come on the weekends. read more

I kind of forgot to take a photo! It looked so good and I was so hungry I dug right in. Our pizzas (2) came in only 11 minutes! Our waitress was nice and very attentive. The crust was incredible. I'm not sure if it's always this way due to the brick oven, but it was very warm in the restaurant. My wife got a cider for $7 and it was only a tiny snifter. I didn't buy a craft beer. The menu was on the wall and it didn't have ABV or IBU information. I doubt we'll drive from Peoria again, but I'm glad I tried it. read more

Very delicious pizza! Love that they have options for vegans. I technically am not vegan, but I do not eat dairy, so I appreciated having the option of vegan cheese. I had their sausage pizza, and it was delicious! The service was wonderful, very attentive and kind staff. The ambience was very surprising for a small town in central Illinois. It was very stylish and trendy, a feel good place! I will definitely be back when I come down here to visit my brother again! Thank you! read more

First there was Za. Now there's PUFF!!! This is big city pizza in the small town. Bob's got the secret recipe for the perfect fold, chew, and crunch crust and it's sauced like Italy with top notch ingredients. These brothers are doing it all right. Super chill and stylish atmosphere with attentive, kind, and appreciative owners and staff. Worth getting off the beaten path for without a doubt! read more

Delicious pizza, lots of great local beers, and a cozy, modern atmosphere. Our waitress was very attentive and we were seated quickly. Extra seating at the bar is a nice touch and then you can watch them bake the pies! Good for kids as well. Will definitely be back! read more

Phenomenal pizza! Every kind is amazing and they cater to allergies. Dfgf was to die for. Amazing!

Had a Red Devil at the Wendy Puff... it was fantastic! Fun atmosphere and a delicious menu, very thankful to have a restaurant like this in Eureka. read more

Service was decent considering how busy it was. The puffs (pizzas) were very good! There was a good mix of unique and traditional pizzas. Same with the appetizers, which we didn't end up trying this time around. My wife had the seasonal puff which had sausage and butternut squash. I had the London Timmy which had sautéed mushrooms and onions. Both were very good! They also have about 10 draft beer varieties (craft) and a couple dozen canned as well as wine and a decent bar stock. Will definitely be back! read more

Amazing and unique pizzas! I haven't had a pizza half this good before in central Illinois. I had the winter seasonal special pizza with purple sweet potato, fennel, sausage, ricotta and Gruyère. The menu is good for people with dietary restrictions as well; they have dedicated allergen pans to prevent cross-contamination. read more

Absolutely delicious!! Made reservations, showed up on time & they didn't have our reservation. They acknowledged it was their error and made it right! Serve was great, atmosphere is cozy, & the pizza was amazing! Make reservations & go!! read more

We went on a Saturday night and didn't have a reservation so we sat at the bar. Very good pizza - unique flavor. Everyone was friendly. However now we know you can make a reservation (they recommend for a Friday or Saturday night, next time we will. Definitely worth the drive! read more

We did not have reservations but sat at the bar and had a great experience. The pizza and draft beer was excellent!!! So fresh tasting and unique. Will definitely return and recommend to everyone. read more

Food was great! The only thing better than the pizza was the service. We thought we had a reservation but it turns out it never got made (a scheduling snafu on our part) and the owner went out of his way to find us a table. 10/10 would recommend in all departments. Be sure to make a reservation as it is a small restaurant and fills up fast! read more

Wendy Puff is such a fantastic new pizza place for Eureka! The vibe is great - such fun decor (check out the bathrooms!). I am gluten free and their gluten free pizzas are outta sight! You would never be able to tell a difference from the traditional, and that's the key, right? Drinks are stellar. Extremely friendly staff. And the value for the quality of food and drinks is awesome! A nice place to also watch "the game" on the bar TV. A must for anyone in Central Illinois and beyond! read more

Great place. There are brick oven pizzerias and then there authentic brick oven pizzerias. WP nails it! You won't be disappointed. Everything is well thought out from the silverware and place settings to the Italian street food. We are so fortunate to have such a great place with big city feel in central IL. read more

As a wood-fired pizza snob, my wife will tell you that I don't give out high praise very easily. Wendy Puff is worthy of high praise. The crust is slightly crisper than a typical Vera Napoletana style pizza with excellent flavor and texture. The toppings are full of subtle flavors, maybe just a little sparse. The menu is inspired. Although it isn't a deep menu, it is not your normal run-of-the-mill stuff. The warmed olives with burrata were a treat and the kale salad complemented the Puffs quite well. Super-friendly waiter, and Bob and Mike are welcoming hosts. We're looking forward to a return trip soon! read more
