I thought that this week we’d go and get a pizza pie from Oliver’s Pizza & Pub North. I love their pizza and we’re going to be meeting a special guest star this week!
So let’s hit the road and go over to Oliver’s Pizza & Pub North for another stop on this saucy and cheesy adventure!
Here we are at Oliver’s North Pizza & Pub on Willow Knolls Drive.
The pub is looking festive with the lights outside! Let’s go on inside and see what’s happening.
Check out the sign, nice of them to welcome us like this!
As I wander in, I see a couple of familiar faces…
There’s our special guest for the night, Julie, who’s the Director of Operations and Human Resources for Oliver’s Pizza & Pub. She’s also the Executive/Personal Assistant to James Kelly at the James Kelly Law Firm who owns Oliver’s Pizza and she’s also the Property Manager for Kelly Properties, LLC. Whew, I’m tired just typing that out, how does she do all of this?
Anyway, great to see her, I haven’t been out with her since the pandemic blew into town over a year and a half ago, so it’s wonderful to see her smiling face again!
I always have fun hanging out with Julie!
Carissa brought us some drinks and took our pizza order and flashed us an award-winning smile! Fabulous to see her again!
Now let’s take some pictures of Oliver’s Pizza and Pub North.
The first time I saw that Oliver North photo in here, I thought, “Why is there a photo of Oliver North in here?”
And then in about ten seconds it dawned on me and it really cracked me up! Julie is the genius who put that together!
I also love the vintage pizza photo below it.
I love the bar in here and check out the mulitple craft beers on tap.
There’s the Oliver’s logo behind the bar with a festive and floral Christmas decoration on top of it.
Here’s the front dining room, it’s empty because it’s near closing time on a Sunday night.
I love the wooden floor in here!
I also love the historical Peoria art hanging on the walls in the dining room.
Meanwhile, back at our table our appetizer has shown up.
I asked Julie what her favorite appetizer in here was and she said it was the Buffalo Fries and so that’s what we started this pizza meal off with.
They look absolutely scrumptious!
Wow, these are fresh, hand-cut fries, paired with blue cheese crumbles and drizzled with spicy buffalo wing sauce.
There’s so much flavor going on in this appetizer it’s ridiculous! What a tasty blend of flavors in this dish! This was a four star start to our dinner!
There’s Julie enjoying the first course of the evening!
And here’s the star of tonight’s dinner, a cheese pizza and it looks heavenly!
Check out the crisp edges on the thin crust pizza, I love that! That looks like it was custom-made to how I like my pizza pies!
The pizza has cracker-thin crust and the sauce has a nice and zingy flavor. The cheese mix is rich and flavorful and this is a such a delicious cheese pizza.
There’s Julie enjoying a piece of it. I love this pizza and when we were done with it, Julie said she wanted to show me something in the front hallway entrance…
Check it out, it’s a plaque they made featuring me and a quote from a cheeseburger review I did about a year ago!
I’m honored to be featured on the wall and blown away that they did this! You should definitely stop by and check this out!
Thanks to Julie and Oliver’s for this honor, I love it! and am so flattered by this gesture!
As i was putting this together, I realized I forgot to get a photo of Julie and I together, so here’s some photos of us on previous evenings out on the town!
Julie gave me a few holiday gifts including a personalized Marty elf and a holiday pizza slice and they’re hanging on the wall here at MBIP World Headquarters!
Thanks Julie and it was great to see you and hang out for the evening! Let’s not wait a year and a half for our next night on the town!
And now, it’s time for this week’s…
