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.

What Happened to this Place????
by Bud Taste at Citysearch
As a native Homewood resident, there was only one place to go for pizza...Aurelios. Unfortunately, this place has lost its way.
Too expensive
Not consistent

Poor Joe Sr. is probably rolling in his grave on how bad his son is running the joint....into the ground.
- Pros: Used to be a Great Place
- Cons: Not a Great Place Anymore

#1 Best Pizza in The Suburbs!!!!
by zipgun at Citysearch
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!
