What sets Aurelio's apart from other Chicago-style pizza? We're different because we use only quality ingredients, serve a variety of generous sizes, and specialize in customizing orders to suit each individual taste. Since 1959, the Aurelio family has be

I remember the first Aurelio's Pizza. A native of south suburban Blue Island, I was a freshman at the University of Illinois when Aurelio's opened its first pizza parlor at 2041 Ridge Road in Homewood in 1959. Four tables, a small kitchen and one pizza oven. It wasn't much and there weren't high expectations. But pizza was an up-and-coming delicacy in those days and friends in Chicago Heights recommended that we give it a try. I wasn't a big pizza fan in those days but I recall that Aurelio's made a favorable impression on me. Well, Aurelio's has come a long way since then. In 1976, it opened the world's largest pizzeria, a 16,000-square-foot flagship restaurant at 18162 Harwood Avenue in Homewood. Now there are locations all over the Chicago area, also Peoria, northwest Indiana, Minnesota, Florida, Georgia, even Las Vegas. I recently met some old classmates and colleagues at Aurelio's location at 15901 Oak Park Avenue in Tinley Park. No, we didn't have pizza. Instead, we enjoyed other tasty items on the menu...hot wings, chicken tenders, garlic bread, pizza bread, Italian beef, spaghetti, mostaccioli, beef ravioli, meatball sandwich and extra helpings of the deep dish cookie, a half-pound chocolate chip cookie baked like deep dish pizza and smothered with vanilla ice cream. Next time, we'll order a couple of 18-inch thin crust pizzas with sausage, marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.

We were a bit worried when we walked in and the restaurant was empty. But it was wonderful!!!!!! Everything was superb....the martinis, the salad, the main dishes and the dessert. Nothing was less than outstanding. And the service was excellent. We don't live in the area, but hope to go back. It is definately worth the extra 5-10 minutes off of I-80 if you are just passing through. Highly recommend .

I promise you - you will be disappointed! This place is outstanding from the atmosphere to the top notch service, the cleanliness to the killer table bread! The main menu has a wonderful traditional Italian selection, Chicken Vesuvio, Rigatoni Vodka Sauce, Lasagna with Giant Mestball etc etc etc but they also offer a daily Specialâs menu which always offers something mouth watering. Every salad and appt. has been out of this world! Burrata with roasted squash and veggies, fried goat cheese with marinara etc etc I mean honestly, you cannot go wrong with this restaurant. They have a great wine selection and make awesome martinis. I feel we get a great value for our money especially when you compare some other places you might have fined at in the area lol. This place is dynamite ! Good for couple, parties, family. Long bar that offers full dining service. And they do have a Facebook page so you can keep an eye on their daily specials. Which I do :) Go check it out! And enjoy!!!!!

We arrived in town and I saw the review and decided we had to try it. We got a seat in the bar area. There were various TVs around but the sound was down. The waitress showed up and I told her we had no idea as to what was the best to order.She suggested the meatball appetizer. --- DoneWe then ordered two different Italian dishes. Way too much food.The meatballs were very good. The appetizer is 15 (I think) small meatballs with sauce (gravy) and cheese. Very tasty. We finished half of them.The meals were good too and, of course, we took food to our daughter's for her to have leftovers.Best was the chef came out to chat with us and others. I always like that they come out and see what people think of their dishes. I'm glad we went.

We have been coming here for years but never had the pleasure of having friends and family in for the family style banquet. So much to select from and very fairly priced. We ordered the salad. Italian beef. Fantastic. Fried chicken addictive. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Pasta Mixed vegetables. Included was buns for the beef and garlic bread. ALL homemade no instant anything. And it was so good. Next time you have a gathering one here you wonât be disappointed

Absolutely wonderful experience! The restaurant is beautiful, the bar is large enough to sit and have a drink before dinner, and the food is wonderful. If you sign up, you get a % off your age for your birthday. The owner walks around the restaurant-nice touch for sure. Love this place. Great Italian menu! Will definitely go back.
