Aurelio's Pizza

Aurelio's (shipped) pizzas are WAY too salty!

by Chris555 at Citysearch

I had Aurelio's ship three pizzas to me out of state: 2 mushroom & black olive and 1 pepperoni. I was excited when I received them because there was SO much cheese on them and the toppings were fresh and plentiful.

We first baked one of the mushroom & black olive ones and followed the directions to a T. It looked so good coming out of the oven. We each took one bite and both immediately said "Waaaay too salty!" It wasn't just a little too salty - it was WAAAAY too salty - to the point where we didn't want to finish it, but since we paid $134 for three pizzas we felt we had to eat it. We then cooked the second pizza with the same toppings and had the same results. We shared some with two other people and they had the same reaction as us!

So today I called Aurelio's and told them of the problem. They said they didn't know what caused the saltiness and said they don't add anything extra to pizzas that are shipped. Then she said maybe it was the pepperoni that was salty; however, that's the one pizza we haven't had yet! Now I'm wondering if I should even bother cooking that one!

But the one thing that really shocked me is she said OTHER PEOPLE HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM! Now if that's the case, don't you think they should figure out what's wrong? Shouldn't she have offered to refund our money...or at least part of it? We order from a few other pizza places all the time (and have those pizzas shipped too) and have never had a problem with them being too salty. And they are much cheaper than Aurelio's! Not happy with the pizza, not happy with Aurelio's customer service.

$134 for 3 salty pizzas? Never again.

• Pros: Lots of cheese, generous with fresh toppings
• Cons: Extremely salty! More expensive than other shipped pizzas

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

Too expensive not to be 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!

I love aurelio's pizza. They have the best pizza ever. I would know I've live just about everywhere in IL and the best pizza is always at Aurelios.

It's pretty good

Aurelio's Pizza is pretty good..I can't say that it's the best I've ever tasted. One thing I have always loved about their pizza is their cheese. It's definately high quality. I have even had their pizza delivered to Michigan and the pizza was good, but the cheese was exception. Sounds a little weird, but it's the truth

• Pros: Good pizza

A little expensive, but great pizza! The stuffed is the best I have ever tasted. The people were friendly, and very nice -- great customer service.

Yummy!!

by vjweiss at Citysearch

Aurelio's is the best thin crust pizza I've ever had! I grew up with it, so I'm a bit biased, but my husband grew up just outside NYC. He now says it's HIS favorite! We miss it terribly out in Oregon. Will someone please open a franchise out here?

In no way lives up to all the hype

by noneyobizness at Citysearch

Ive tried Aurelio's several times because people always talk it up. Each time I am always disappointed. I keep thinking maybe Im getting a bad pie but its the same thing every time. The pizzas are just

average, and to be honest the sauce is way too sweet and the sausage is second rate. It is in no way

the best the Chicago area has to offer. I think its a step up from Pizza Hut, if you want real Chicago pizza Beggar's Pizza is a sleeper spot but makes one of the best pizzas on the south side

• Pros: fast service
• Cons: average pizza
