Editorial Review for Aurelio's Pizza – by Jennifer Olvera
The Scene
This dark pizza joint packs 'em in from wall to paneled license plate-adorned wall. Kids of all ages beg elders for change for video games, while grown-ups chat at white-and-red-checked tables over carafes of wine and pitchers of beer. A hum of conversation and the wafting scent of melting cheese prevail throughout the stained-glass decorated space.
The Food
Touted as the best pizza in Chicago by loyalists, Aurelio's scores with pies boasting a flaky, buttery crust, pleasantly sweet sauce and a tangy blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Toppings range from basics like sweet, savory Italian sausage to more unorthodox fare like chicken with Alfredo sauce. The massive chopped antipasto salad, a mix of ham, mozzarella, pepperoni, green and black olives, roasted red peppers and pepperoncini in zesty Italian vinaigrette, is large enough to make a meal. Bargain pasta selections include fettuccine topped with a smooth, sweet marinara sauce.

I remember way back when Aurelio's was located just down the street in a small restaurant with people lined up outside waiting for a table. Their pizza was great then as is now. This pizza has flavor compared to other places and the right balance of ingredients so there is a compromise of flavor. Those who don't like the taste of Aurelio's probably were raised up eating food from a box or can and wouldn't know great taste if it fell on them. I tried a lot of pizzas in my time, from the "City", to the suburbs, and Aurelio's is simply the best!
