🍕🎶 Pizza Perfection at Jupiter’s Pizza in Downtown Champaign! 🍻🎱

Published on by creativeoverloadllcLeave a comment

Jupiter’s Pizza in Downtown Champaign is one of our favorite places for a treat!

We kicked things off with Cheese Bread and added Tomatoes, plus a couple of crisp draft beers—the perfect start to read over a menu. 🧀🍅🍺

This time around, we tried the Special K and Salmon pizzas. Yes, they might sound a bit unusual, but they are flavorful and fantastic!

Special K Pizza: A delightful blend of cream sauce, mozzarella, provolone, sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, oregano, and basil.

Salmon Pizza: Crafted with cream sauce, mozzarella, provolone, smoked salmon, spinach, and dill for a fresh, savory experience.

Jupiter’s is always buzzing with the great music accompanied by the energetic crack of billiards from the pool area, there’s never a dull moment. It’s a great place to be if you’re looking for good vibes and fantastic food in Champaign.

Sizzling Delights at Maize Mexican Grill! 🍺

When the craving for something cheesy and delicious strikes, we often head to Maize Mexican Grill! Just had another amazing visit for our favorite snack – the Queso Fundido with Steak. 🥩✨

It’s served sizzling hot in a cast iron skillet with steaming-hot tortillas on the side. We pair each tortilla with a different house-made salsa from their Salsa Flight, which adds a different kick to each bite! 🌶️🔥

This time, we enjoyed cold Modelo on draft, though their Margaritas are always a refreshing choice as well. 🍹🍻

The Brass Rail (Champaign’s oldest bar since 1933) has been wonderfully revitalized by new ownership. Its historic charm is now paired with modern amenities, making it an outstanding venue to enjoy their signiature “Squint” cocktail or catch an Illini basketball game!

The bar, steeped in history, seamlessly blends the old with the new, offering a warm, inviting atmosphere. With an all new draft beer tap and a staff known for their friendliness, it’s more than just a bar—it’s a local landmark where history and present-day enjoyment converge.

Café at the Champaign Public Library

Nestled just inside the entryway of the Champaign Public Library you can find a delightfully simple café!

For years my go-to café beverage has been a regular Mocha.

Inspiration took hold of me this particular morning, and I asked if they would add Caramel to my favorite coffee treat. The AMAZING Caramel-Mocha they made for me made my entire day and will regularly lure me back in there on my way to work.
