PAXTON, Ill. (WCIA) — In a tale of two eateries, Paxton welcomes a new dining venue as another bids farewell. After two years of service, one local establishment is closing, while a fresh face in the culinary scene has just celebrated its grand opening.

Wednesday saw the Paxton Area Chamber of Commerce hosting a ribbon-cutting for Oakwood & Fire Pizzeria. Situated at 560 John Street, conveniently near I-57, this new spot offers a menu featuring wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas and calzones, promising to bring a taste of Italy to the community.
