We had a large group and the Aurelio's team did a great job taking care of us - great tasting salad, breadsticks and most importantly amazing PIZZA.!! Cool pizza parlor vibe and decor. Cardboard Pope Leo is a nice bonus! read more

This rating is based on the fettuccine (penne) Alfredo with breaded chicken. It was $19 which was quite a bit of money for what I received. When I opened the container I immediately noticed the majority of the pasta was dry (other than butter/oil) and the Alfredo sauce was only on the top noodles. Upon tasting the sauce I knew it was not homemade and tasted like jarred grocery store sauce. The breaded chicken was clearly processed because they were the same shape and not a breast of white meat chicken. Unfortunately, I was unable to eat what was basically nothing like a typical Italian fettuccine Alfredo with breaded chicken. The texture of the chicken was weird and the sauce was bland. I normally would have just let it go but thinking of the cost I just couldn't. I called, spoke with a manager, and explained how dissatisfied I was. This manager explained that the breaded chicken was processed, premade, frozen, and then cooked. The Alfredo sauce was just a brand (maybe Stouffer's?) name jarred sauce. The manager clarified that the grilled chicken was an actual breast of chicken cooked there and suggested that option. I suggested that the menu should clarify what kind of chicken was available and/or the person taking the order should ask if a premade chicken patty or a breast of grilled chicken was wanted. The description given implies both options are a boneless breast of chicken instead of a chicken patty. I was really surprised at the mediocre meal because I have ordered from numerous Aurelio locations for decades and didn't have the same results. It's possible that the company has made changes to the menu or this location has a different product than others. One week later I ordered the baked chicken tetrazzini from Nancy's and it was delicious. The difference between these two options was incredible. One was basically a frozen meal and the other was like a freshly made meal from a restaurant. read more

I was spending time with family so didn't take any pictures. You walk in and it looks and feels like a place that should have pizza. Unfortunately thats were the good stuff ends. Service is nice but also very slow. Expect to wait an hour for a pizza that is on the same level as a frozen pizza. I felt like the crust was slightly undercooked as well as an overseasoning of sauce and Italian seasoning on top. Also shelling out 20-30 bucks for a medium-large pizza. Just a place that I dont think I'll come back to when I come back to visit family. read more

I used to love their pizza. I hadn't been here in over a year so this evening I decided to go get some. I ordered a small sausage, pepperoni, with the gooey cheese, and asked for it to not be overcooked. Price was $19 and some change. Pizza was overcooked, crispy, and had one sausage on each slice. But was piled with pepperoni that I didn't like. So, it will be another year before I return. Maybe next time I'll try a different location this one sucks. I've had problems with them before and returned pizza and got refund. Should've returned it this time too! read more

The most expensive lettuce and chicken salad ever. How you get away with charging 18.50 for a salad with literally lettuce and grated Parmesan it was definitely not shaved, barely any chicken and stale croutons and nothing else is beyond me. Also how are you out of Bosco sticks and you don't know you are out of them? Service took forever and was not good. Definitely will not be going back. read more

Our server in Bourbonnais was very good with the exception of forgetting to place the order for our appetizers. No biggie. The pizza however was HORRIBLE! Didn't resemble Aurelios Pizza at all. They did offer to remake the plain cheese which had some kind of cheese crust on the top. Another pizza was beyond well done (which we didn't order that way) to being burnt. The third pizza was also overcooked but not quite as bad as the others. If you live in the area and have only ever been to this location, do yourself a favor and take the ride up to Homewood to experience what Aurellio's is really like (or should be) read more

Frozen premade breadsticks, pizza dough was not really thin crust cheese is an odd choice it's just not good

restaurant is empty, yet there is a long wait for a table. WTF! they have one server. terrible mgmt.

Absolutely HORRIBLE service! Super slow and no one's working. The bosco sticks were cold in the middle and the food was, at best, warm. Loud atmosphere. Would NEVER go back. Get better management!!! read more

when I lived in South side of Chicago this was my go to. Thin slices, great sauce, and perfectly seasoned.

The service was terrible. Tried overcharging me and it took awhile to get it correct. Pizza was OK, Nothing that I would go back for.

My fiancé and I ate there last Friday. Which was November 15th, 2024. The atmosphere is always inviting and gives you that cozy feeling. The staff, she was very busy. I think they were shorthanded but she was a trooper. We ordered our own separate pizzas since she likes veggies on her pizza. Not I. The pizza was VERY GOOD and is always hot and tasty. Love this place. read more

We stopped here to pick up food for a family party. The food was fine. They were playing a Christian radio station that was talking about visiting Israel and they had a thin blue line message in the digital signage outside. Given the current political climate it's probably not a safe place for minorities to go to. We felt very uncomfortable. I've been to other many Aurelio's locations for my entire life and I've never seen any kind of religious or political propaganda before. It was pretty shocking. We won't be going back. (To be clear I'm not referring to the pope pizza thing, that's totally fine. We are from the Chicago area so we thought that was cute.) It was just really weird and disturbing to hear extreme right wing Christian radio in a public restaurant. We don't want to know your political views and for you to make them known so obviously felt aggressive or at the very least tone deaf. Never thought I'd see from your brand. read more

Great ambience. Walking in reminded me of walking into an little Italian village. Felt like a family outdoor picnic. Our waitress was very attentive, checked in several times. We ordered the cheese sticks disappeared on arrival, as the kids inhaled them. Family of four, we got the 18 inch sausage and pepperoni which was more than enough and have some leftovers. This was our pit stop on the way to Champagne. Thank you Kristina for making it a delightful evening. read more

Do not go here. Ordered 2 small pizzas one with 2 toppings one with 8 on a thin crust. I understand 8 is a lot of toppings. But they piled an xl pizza amount of toppings on a small and didn't even cook it through. Brought out a wet, undercooked pizza. We were just gonna box it up and take it home to avoid conflict. When Kristina K, our server, came to check on us and asked what was wrong, that is what we told her. We didn't ask to send it back or refund it. Her response was to cop an attitude and blame it on us: "well you did order 8 toppings." And rolled her eyes. Paid out $100 bill for 2 small pizzas and 2 appetizers and left. Terrible experience. Do not waste your time or money. Go to Rosati's or Sammy's. read more

Best pizza I have ever had. The cheese blend is perfect as is the amount of sauce. Their sauce is their own blend. The toppings cover the entire pizza. read more

Wemt there on 5-9-22 and overall nothing to rant about. Haven't been to an aurelios pizza in a few years but it was the tinley park location and i recalll it being good. Did the recipe change? Because i remember a sweeter sauce and not a cheese mixture on the pizza. The mixture of cheese tasted off (don't know if the cheese was expiring soon or not) Was also told that at this time that they were not serving any kind of pasta or any sandwiches which was odd. Probably will not be back since food was just ok. Tried the taco pizza and a sausage and mushroom pizza. The server Paige was good. Quick, friendly and helpful. read more

Born and raised in New York City, I venture out in my travels to try pizza in other localities and I frequent Chicago, and while in Bourbonnais I tried this place. Had the stuffed pizza, and it was amazing , One of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life, possibly the best, the sauce was perfection - my hats off to you guys - sauce was so good it totally blew my mind and I gotta give proper credit . I would definitely go out of my way to have more pizza here, and the meatballs were legitimate homemade and delicious also read more

OK I grew up on this pizza place but this time no they suck!

Good pizza with great sauce! We love Aurelio's! We ordered carry out. We ordered 2 large pizzas. 1 pepperoni and 1 Hawaiian! We ordered a family size dinner salad with French and house dressing. We also ordered 2 meatballs with sauce. The pizza was delicious ! The salad is great with the red peppers, tomatoes, red onion and cucumbers. Both dressings are good. The star surprise of the meal is large tasty meatballs. Aurelio's is pricey but worth it! read more

Worst pizza ever. Pizza was burnt. Bread sticks totally bland...asked for garlic butter, got marinara sauce. Wings were horrible...I like to support local instead of franchises, I'll never order here again though. read more

Decent food good pizza very pricey they need to come down on their pizza prices and their pasta prices

The food is reasonable, but the service is unbelievably bad. A couple of our party were accused of lying about whether or not an outside dessert was homemade (I have no idea why that matters so much, because nobody ever told me), when all we were attempting to do was clarify what their policy was. If a manager had told us, clearly, that they had policies against outside food, and had stood their ground on this policy, I think we would have been perfectly understanding, but we got inconsistent answers, and then we were accused of lying to the server. Again, unbelievably bad customer service. The ambiance is exactly what you might expect from a Chicago-style eatery: stuck in the 70's. It's not my cup of tea, but if you like being treated like a stray dog that just walked in off the street, be my guest. read more

If you want Aurelio's DO NOT eat at this one. We ordered a Super six and a Sausage pizza. It tasted nothing like Aurelio's. There was something off with the cheese "it was Flaky" and the dough was undercooked. After speaking with Manager we were told that at this time of year the cheese from the distributor is like that. If you want Aurelio's do yourself a favor and go to Homewood,Crete,Lowell,Cedar Lake or any one other than this location. One star for the Ambiance as it is a nice building. read more

Friday was our first time there. We went on a friend's recommendation. We thought they had good pizza but the waitress was overly curt, in a hurry, and not at all friendly. When asked to get us waters, which she should have done without asking, she made it clear she was very bothered by the request. Same when my daughter requested a soda refill. Also, there was no one manning the wait desk and there was no sign so we seated ourselves. The waitress asked us if we had been seated. When we said we seated ourselves, she asked us to get up and go wait out front. I was "frosted" at that point but took a deep breath. Service went down hill from there. Liked the atmosphere and the food. We will give it one more chance. Hope it's much better next time. read more

Pizza was good. Could have used a bit more sausage and green peppers on the one side. Asked for extra onions on my salad and didn't get any. Better pizza than most in the area. Our waitress wasn't really attentive too us. Would have been 4 stars if she was more attentive and came back to the table more. The inside is setup really nice and it was clean. Was a little warm in there but then again it was 95 outside. There are only 3 good pizza joints in this are. This place, Nancy's, and Beggars. All the rest are terrible. I'll come back and see how the service is next time. read more

My favorite family pizza place! They never disappoint. The staff is always kind and friendly. The food is always hot and tasty!

6/7/19 Update: Having been dragged to attend a gathering for a birthday a few months ago, we were forced to return to dine in this location. It's gotten worse: the restaurant now plays Christian music exclusively. Putting aside religion as a whole, one running a restaurant should not impose their religion and their music on their patrons, just as one should not have cable news on their televisions--it causes problems. Funnily enough, the employees don't like it either. Three different staff agreed it's inappropriate and were more than happy to change the station to something secular and neutral upon request. I don't think Aurelio's corporate would approve of this location's religious bias. read more

I ordered a pizza and sides, it was a Friday night so yes they were busy. I was told it would be 40 minutes so when I came in to pick up my order was still not ready. 30 minutes after arriving to pick my order up I asked again about my order, the gentleman went to check, and then I believe she was the manager her name was Amy. Amy informed me that there was a mistake with the orders and I would have to wait 10minutes more. Needless to say Amy was the sweetest, she apologized and refunded my money for the inconvenience. The pizza was great and so was Amy. Great experience due to the circumstances. read more

Have to say the delivery is difficult. Most times we've tried to order they won't even give you an amount of time so we cancel. Always decent when we dine in though. Can be pricey. read more

What happened? Within minutes of receiving our thin crust pizza, the crust was so soggy????? Really disappointed. Due to COVID I picked up two large pizza's that were great. It wasn't soggy at all unlike my previous experience. Moving forward, when dining in, I'll have them bring out the pizza on cardboard round. read more

I love their buffet. It's far more generous than others I've visited. The place is beautiful, too - very nice, expensive building. Nice private dining away from other people - you're not crowded. Even when they don't have the buffet on weekends, I still visit just for the great pizza. read more

who doesn't love aurelio's? go ahead i'll wait. This location is clean and staff is very friendly. sometimes pizza takes 45 mins on a saturday night but that's to be expected. staff is so nice and pizza is so good read more

This place doesn't live up to the hype. I ordered a large pie and an order of onion rings. The rings were soggy and the pizza tasted nasty. To make things worse the service wasn't very good either. I've had much better experiences and food from Pizza Hut and dominos. Wouldn't recommend this place and I won't be returning. read more
