Trios Pizzeria Gets the Spotlight on "You Gotta Eat"

The aroma of freshly baked pizza and the hum of friendly conversation filled Trios Pizzeria as Brian Walder, meteorologist and host of Channel 25 WEEK’s popular segment "You Gotta Eat," stepped through the doors. Known for showcasing hidden culinary gems across Central Illinois, Walder’s latest stop brought him to this beloved pizzeria nestled in the heart of Downtown Delavan.

Trios, a cozy family-friendly eatery with a reputation for its hand-tossed crusts and rich, homemade sauces, has quickly become a favorite spot in town. As Walder sampled their veggie pizza and Trios' signature supreme pizza cone, he chatted with two of the owners, Adam White and Laura Calsyn, about their commitment to quality ingredients and the welcoming atmosphere that keeps locals coming back.

"It's all about family here," said Calsyn. "We wanted to create a place for everyone to be able to come together. With the restaurant and the arcade next door… It’s a whole experience."

Walder, known for his engaging on-air presence, took viewers through the menu, highlighting fan favorites. Between bites, he praised the balance of flavors that sets Trios apart.

Walder and videographer Andrew Best enjoyed warm hospitality from Jaxton Westbrook, Bri Haradon, Ashley Watkins, and Trios' owners—Adam White, Laura Calsyn, and Josh Grys. Enhancing the family-friendly vibe, Calsyn and Grys’ children—Ryker, Knox, Hayes, and Cash—were also on hand, making the visit even more special.

The episode, set to air on May 29th, promises to give Trios Pizzeria the recognition it deserves, shining a light on the hard work and passion behind every dish. For residents of Delavan and beyond, it’s a reminder that sometimes, the best meals are found in the places that feel like home.
