Joey Buona’s Pizza + Spring Drive + Kopp’s Custard
Triple adventure fun! No, not all on the same day, but time certainly got away from me on these. Let’s begin…
Thriftiness once again leads us to a new experience for pizza at Joey Buona’s in downtown Milwaukee. It’s been forever so I don’t quite remember the details. What does stand out was the excellence of the meal we had and our desire to return to try more and various dishes. Between bread and oil, fried ravioli and deep dish pizza, there was much love for our meal. Afterwards, it was a literal run through the Milwaukee Public Market for dessert. Ice cream was not to be had at that time of night, so I opted for cheesecake that let me down. View photos…
To the Jelly Belly factory! Arriving just in time for the Spring Drive, Bessie and I wound our way with many multiples of marvelous MINIs through the back roads of southwestern Wisconsin. You know it was fun when the driver can’t seem to take a photo parallel to the horizon! View Photos…
Our final adventure of the series, a return to Kopp’s Custard of Brookfield, Wisconsin with the Milwaukee Minis. The star of the evening was the Maple Syrup and Pancakes Custard. Breakfast for dessert? Yes, please. I’m certainly looking forward to the summer bringing new Ice Cream Escapades! View Photos…

The rainy day didn't stop us from going out for pizza, but it did stop us from taking outside pics.

Soon the only interior I'm interested in is my own, and filling it with this delicious bread.

Our appetizer, for a change of pace, is the lovely toasted ravioli.

A quick outdoor photo on the way out. Time to get under cover and out of the rain.

What to have for dessert? I can't make these types of decisions under such pressure!

CHEESECAKE! Looks delicious, doesn't it! It was ok. I wouldn't get it again. It tasted slightly funny like it had picked up flavor from something else. And it was a brand new cake they cut it from.

It's delicious. Who wouldn't want to combine the two meals into one? Except for scrambled eggs and hashbrowns. No thanks.
