Aurelio’s Pizza

My daughter requested pizza tonight. I did not want to eat Italian Fiesta. This place was a great choice. The restaurant staff were extremely friendly. Pizza was delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.

The spaghetti was fabulous! I was a little disappointed because a salad comes with that. I didn’t realize it and ordered a Caesar salad. I wish the waitress would have told me so I have had the option.
We went there for pizza another night and I was disappointed because the sauce was to tomato chunky. If I were to go back I would just stick with the spaghetti.

After reading the other reviews, we still decided to try the lunch Buffett while working on the area. We arrived at 1:20 and the staff was friendly, there was plenty of fresh good food, and never ha to wait for a soda refill. They either changed their act in the last few years, or people are just picky…

We are out in the area for a baseball tournament. We pull up to find out they are closed and won’t open till 2:00. They opened just for us early. Great business. Service was excellent and of course how can you not review the excellent pizza.

Wish I could’ve sent it back. We are new to the area and are only familiar with Leona’s, which was closed, so we decided to try this place. They didn’t deliver to our area, and we are about 4 miles away, straight shot down 162^nd! We went to pick it up, and what a disappointment. It looked and tasted like it had been cooked earlier in the day and sat under a heat lamp waiting for someone to order it. We ordered extra cheese, and you couldn’t tell there was any extra; the sausage was terrible, worse than Dominos, and the pepperoni seemed over cooked and was tough. The buffalo wings we ordered were not much better and the bleu cheese was watery. I gave one star for being open late. Maybe in-​store is better food but not pick-​up. For $ 32, I was ripped off, and learned a hard lesson– wait for my regular place to be open when I want some pizza!

Hard to believe this place is an «Aurelio’s», especially after visiting some of their nearby locations. Stopped in to try their lunch buffet, and was far from impressed. Smaller than expected dining area, and less than desirable wait staff. Felt like we were more of an inconvenience dining in an hour before the «lunch buffet» ended. Either way, the buffet was what it was. Only a few pizzas at a time, however decent variety. Tried the spinach and tomato as it came out, not bad considering the rest of the menu. Their side items, including their salad bar, fettuccine alfredo, garlic bread, chicken wings, were all very lacking, both of taste and any semblance of life. Obviously everything had been sitting for a bit, and ready for a fresh tray. It was hard to bring myself up for seconds. I’m not one to turn away a good deal, especially at a decent buffet and after skipping breakfast, but this is far from a dining spot I’d bring my co-​workers out to for lunch. Thought we’d try considering the reviews. Unfortunately I’ll be taking my lunch buffet somewhere else.

very good thin crust, sauce is tasty, large place for groups.

I can’t believe no one’s reviewed this place. Ok, maybe I’m a bit prejudice ’cause I live in South Holland but I really like this place. Not just for the pizza (which is very good) but for the buffet (pizza, wings, pasta, soup, salad, etc.) they have on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I usually order and pick up or have my pizzas delivered but every now and then we go for a nice sit down. It’s a quaint place and excellent for families and children. BTW – I love their root beer soda.
