2-8-25. Burrata was absolutely fantastic. Best appetizer I had in long time. Pizza was a very good, I'm a crispy crust kind of guy. Service was great. Would go back in a heartbeat. Loved it. 9 out of 10

Wood fired pizza in small town America! The aromas coming from the oven greet you the moment you walk in the door. All of the other patrons were happily enjoying their dinners and the waitstaff were friendly and attentive. We ordered the garlic knots with marinara to start and they were light and fluffy. 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

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.

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!

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!!!

This evening we dined at Wendy Puff Pizzeria + Pub in Eureka and I won't quit talking about this for a long time. It felt like we were in Italy. Their flavor profiles are phenomenal and the dough is the best "chew" you can imagine. The brothers have the best restaurant around and we will be back! Only regret I have is not going sooner!!! So, go and enjoy the laid back environment and the best pizza around!

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!

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.
