Oakwood & Fire Pizzeria

Wonderful locally-owned, hand-crafted, wood-fired Pizza spot. Super clean. They craft the pizza from scratch right in front of you. Super fresh ingredients, Crust was crispy outside w the perfect soft and chewy inside. Sauce was bangin’- bright and flavorful- u can tell it was made from fresh tomatoes and herbs. Fresh basil included w every pie. The Load up on the toppings too- no skimpin here! Super friendly staff, real community vibe. You can tell they care. A Beautiful Break from corporate chain trash food. Support them!

My husband lived in Paxton as a child and wanted to tour the town on our way through Illinois. By the way, what a lovely downtown! The authentic wood fired pizza was a genuine and delicious surprise. They happily accommodated our half n half request of Pepperoni/black olives and Sausage/ mushroom pizza. I highly recommend supporting this local establishment owned by good people that truly love what they do. We had a brief conversation with the owners and it was clear that they really care!

The firewood pizza was absolutely delicious , perfectly baked with that authentic smoky flavor. On top of that, the service was incredibly warm and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone!

Stopped in today to tryout the pizza and calzons, Great food and service talked to the owner and had a great experience. Crust is delicious, only complaint is the bottom of the pizza crust was grease from the sausage.

The new pizza place in town was fantastic! Pizza wad not heavy, but fulfilling. The crust had that classic crunch, toppings fresh and colorful, and the cheese pull was exquisite. Also, the massive ceramic oven was impressive to oogle at. will be back with more family and friends

We stopped in for dinner while in Paxton for work. The pizza was awesome and the service was great. The owner talked with us for a quite a while about the town and other things in the area. I would highly recommend stopping in if you are in the area.

This place is delicious! High quality ingredients. We had our food within 15 minutes of sitting down. Something you can easily pull off of the interstate, rest and enjoy a delicious meal, that you won't regret! It's also awesome to see the food ve made right in front of you. Calzones are huge so either have a big appetite or share. Also owners are super friendly

This was the most delicious pizza & calzones we’ve ever had! Mwah! Neapolitan style pepperoni pizza (the kind of pizza ya fold over!) with imported cheese yummo! The calzone with Chicken, fresh mushrooms, and onions with the right amount of fresh basil & sauce was massive and the extra crust was dipped into fresh garlic-butter, which then made me crave crab legs lol The owner let us try the homemade sausage which was amazing!
