| - Far off the beaten path for many college students; there are many residential neighborhoods in the area so I imagine this Jupiter's serves more of a family crowd. Or not. There are so many different concepts dumped into this place that it's hard to tell. Most of my visits have been for lunch, so I can't comment on the nature of the place at night. I also have never participated in the game areas, but friends tell me it's essentially Chuck E. Cheese's for grown-ups.
Jupiter's sticks to thin-crust pizza, and I think they manage to do pretty well with it. Toppings range from traditional (pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, etc.) to more "exotic" fare (artichokes, spinach, salmon, prosciutto, etc.). Each pizza can be customized with a number of sauces (marinara, pesto, cream etc.), but I usually stick to ordering one of their specialty pizzas since they've already put together some of the best combinations themselves. Prices are very reasonable for the quality (comparable with chain pizza stores).
There are some fake fireplaces in the first floor dining area. Although these things obviously lack live fires, I appreciate the real sense of coziness and warmth they provide in the winter. Many of the tables and furniture are made of some heavy, dark wood product--good for withstanding abuse from youngsters and also giving the whole place a classy feel.
Every seat offers a view of a flat-screen television (I lost count of how many the place had in all), set to ESPN and its various spin-off channels. I don't have a problem with this, per se, except that they seem to inflict my friends with ADD during our meals. Set in the center of the building is a large bar that serves a fairly generous list of brews and cocktails (though probably not sufficient to appease snobs accustomed to the great local beer empires like The Blind Pig or Crane Alley).
I've also been invited into the upstairs area for a few parties. The area offers a lot of privacy, including its own bar and a wide balcony. I felt they provided an appropriate amount of staff to attend to the guests at these events. If you're planning to have a grown-up birthday party here, it may be a pain to run between the top floor and the game room in the basement.
Overall, I've had many good experiences eating here at lunch, when they are slow and quiet. I'm not sure about crowds who hang out here in the evenings, but with it's many rooms and many offerings, it's sure to appeal to lots of different people.
