When Ed and Angella Antkowiak opened Ang an Eddies in March 2012, locals didn’t expect the tiny spot on 14th Street to become their favorite pizza destination.
But this family-owned gem quickly earned its place as Fond du Lac’s go-to for authentic Chicago-style pizza, ranking as the #1 highest-rated pizza restaurant in the area and earning a coveted 4.7-star rating with over 600 reviews. 🍕
How Ang an Eddies won Wisconsin hearts
Ang an Eddies captured Fond du Lac hearts through pure determination and authentic Chicago flavors.

But locals rallied around his comeback story when he opened this premium Chicago-style pizza shop that serves “the freshest prepared dishes they serve their own family.”
The restaurant’s “every night is family night” motto resonated deeply with Wisconsin families craving genuine hospitality. 🏠
The community truly embraced Ang an Eddies when they discovered Ed’s theatrical flair – customers regularly catch him tossing dough balls and twirling pies in the air while preparing their orders.

Local reviews consistently praise their “best crust in town” and describe meals as “like going to downtown Chicago.”
