We went on a Friday night and were immediately seated. The restaurant was clean, the service was prompt and the food was decent. For some reason, the pizza didn't have the "typical" Aurelios taste though. This was my first time at the Mokena location, but the Homewood is much better. Even the Tinley Park location has the "typical" Aurelios taste though. Not sure how to describe this pizza...it wasn't bad, just not what I expected given the other locations.

Having heard Aurelio's commercials during Chicago Blackhawks games, but having never been to one, I finally went in! I happened to be passing by the pizzeria, saw it out the car window, and knew I had to take the chance to try it. Kathy, the bartender and server, was so very professional, polite, and friendly. And by luck, I happen to have the opportunity to meet Jay, the owner, and I must say every bit the same about him. Aurelio's Pizza was everything you'd expect of an old-school neighborhood, family-style pizzeria. The decor was warm wood tones, comfortable, pleasing, lots of red, and tons of Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago White Sox memorabilia. The dining room was spotlessly clean, as was the men's bathroom. I ordered a personal size cheese pizza, just something to satisfy my urge to taste this famous Pizzeria, and something to fit my very modest budget. A little over $7 fit the bill, and the pizza filled my belly! The handmade crust had the perfect imperfect shape, wonderful colors, delicious and natural and fresh taste. The crust had the perfect balance of crunchiness, chewiness, and weight. The sauce and cheese on top matched, wonderful colors, incredible texture and a memorable, delicious taste, and not one drop of excess grease. It was so beautiful when it arrived on my plate that I didn't even want to eat it, but I had to! What a great experience in a great lunch! I will be back! Aurelio's Pizzeria is easily visible from the road, has ample parking, excellent customer service, reasonable prices.

Seventy minute wait for pickup when they said 25 minutes. It's awkward waiting in the tiny waiting area.

OPP is located in the old Durbin's Pizza - but WAY BETTER!!…read moreThe service is phenomenal, from the minute we stepped foot in the door. The owner Brad welcomed us with a hearty hello, like we'd been there every Friday night since opening. If you're a fan of the 80's the decor will be right up your alley and the same with the music; a nice Mix of 80's thru early 2000's. My husband ordered a New England IPA on special and described it as an imperial IPA that it will f you up with its 8.8 apv. I was very happy to hear the salads are made with romaine and not that spring mix everyone is using these days. So we started our meal the BLT salad. Very tasty and a nice light start to the meal. Next up was pizza. The thinnest of thin and crispy crust. The sauce was a very nice blend. Tomatoe sauce and herbs were not over powering and in my opinion not too sweet. A good balance of cheese, toppings and sauce. Not so much sauce that it oozes out with every bite. They were very careful with the toppings and keeping them on the respective halves. The menu also has sandwiches the sound delicious and I can't wait to come back and try some. I hope they stay in business for many years to come.

The pizza is good but it's not pizza that's memorable. The owners are extremely nice. The staff are wonderful. But it is just a pizza shop.

Found this pizza place in an unexpected area. It certainly doesn't look like anywhere you would…read moreexpect it to be as good. Pizza Di Farfalla is located in the back of a coffee shop in New Lenox. A kind of pretty strange setup but it's apparently popular enough. The prices are pretty crazy even for those artisan types of pizzas. Coming in here the first time it was confusing. It's actually in the same location as Gost Coffee Roasters. They usually have a sandwich board out front when they're open so just go in there. Go around to the back. There's a counter to order at and more seating. It's about $12 for the Garlic Knots. We got these and they were great for sharing. Bad thing is these are often sold out. That's no surprise because these are by far the cheapest thing. It's $20 or more for a pizza. These are just regular sized pizzas. Crazy prices to be honest. They may be good but it's way too much for this. Great pizzas as long as you can get past the high prices and running out of so many ingredients and items. It's closed Mondays and Tuesdays. They have pretty limited menu and they still run out of whatever.

Pizza Di Farfalla has been getting a lot of hype, so we had to see what the buzz was about. It's…read morelocated inside Ghost Coffee--our favorite coffee shop in New Lenox--so right away the vibe is fun, light, and a little unexpected. (And yes, we obviously grabbed coffee too. It's impossible to step foot in Ghost without one of their top-tier drinks.) For food, we ordered the garlic knots and The Cade pizza (garlic, sausage, pepperoni, jalapeños). I added a side of Mike's Hot Honey for a sweet kick--not that it was necessary with the jalapeños, but it worked. The garlic knots were delicious, generously portioned, and a perfect warm-up. The pizza itself was beautifully presented and tasted just as good as it looked. One thing to note: this isn't your typical greasy, grab-a-slice type of spot. Farfalla leans into the fine dining side of pizza--brick-ovened, elevated, and full of flavor. It's not where I'd go to pick up a stack of pies for a family party after a long day, but it's absolutely where I'd go for a date night or a cozy movie night at home. I'll definitely be back--because apparently coffee and pizza is my new weird (and wonderful) combo.

We are not local but our son and his family live nearby. Frankie's is his go-to pizza place and…read moreconsidering Frankie's is just down the strip mall from a 'famous" Chicago pizza place, you know they have to be GOOD! Couple of things to know. They open at 4:00 pm. Be there then. At 4:30 pm, the place is crowded! Their staff are wonderful - friendly, fast, make you feel like you belong there. They have a spectacular oven and they can turn out pizzas pretty fast - which is a good thing since I bet they make lots and lots of them every day. We sat at the door for a 'to-go' order and had beer and wine while we waited. What we observed around us is a place that truly cares about its customers. That said, they show that in their pizzas, which are among the best. Give Frankie's a shot. Whether it's pizza to go or a dine in experience, you won't be sorry.

This is a hard 4.5 star rating on its way to the 5. My first…read morevisit I wanted to grant the 5 star rating, although, I had to hold back to be fair. I know it'll be there by my next visit, which will be soon. A seller for me is homemade pasta with an option for gluten free. If it was organic it's a hard 5. No judgement though. Frankie's is the spot where you park up by 3:45/3:50 and wait for the doors to open as their hours are short, hot and sweet. This is a tucked away spot packing tons of flavor on the small menu(major hit). Locals pack this spot asap at the bar so be there by 3:45. Haha. The restaurant has nice decor and attentive friendly service. As the server comes to the table with heavy greetings, they run down the special menu. Drinks are always good, nothing intricate but enough to elevate the experience and hit hard. The appetizers are good. I enjoyed the calamari and shrimp as well as the octopus. But now to the star of the show is their pastas. FRIENDLY REMINDER, all are homemade. The Pappardelle w/ Wide Ribbon Pasta, Black Truffle Cream Sauce and Mushrooms is amazing.. I added the gluten free meatballs and yummy. A savory bite. The rigatoni vodka sauce(added sausage) was a hit. Another star of the table was the Linguine w/ Shrimp,Broccoli, Evoo and Garlic. A fully loaded plate. The Gnocchi w/ Ricotta Cheese Filling, vodka sauce.. added meatballs was another hit. The star of the show was our pizza which resembles a meat lovers with pepperoni, Sopressata and Giardiniera (which is more like a relish and I love). I've had other dishes but after multiple countless visits this is what I love at this time. The pizza is cooked in a high heat oven which gives the perfect char, let it settle for a couple minutes as it sits on the table. Overall, when in this part of Illinois hands down the place to be. Hours are only 4-9pm and that says a lot. My only insight would be ask for the bread to be served warm. I'm sure a fresh loaf in the pizza oven for a couple of minutes will go a long way. ENJOY!

We took my mother in law there last night (6/12/26) for her birthday, as it is one of her favorite pizza places. Two people in our party of 8 ordered fountain soda, and both commented that they were very flat with little to no carbonation. After they each took a couple sips, we mentioned it to our waitress, who was very kind and apologetic. She offered to get them a different fountain beverage, but advised that it would be from the same machine as they have only have one fountain machine in the restaurant. As expected, these beverages were also flat. We explained to our waitress, who again, was very apologetic. When we received the bill, we were surprised to see that we were charged $9 ($4.50 per beverage) for beverages that were unsatisfactory. When we mentioned our disappointment to the waitress, she indicated that she would have to check with her boss to see if she could remove the charge. After a few minutes, our waitress came back and said that she could not remove the charge, per her boss. According to her "boss", nobody else complained about the fountain machine, so therefore she won't remove the charge. In other words, since nobody else complained, we must be lying. So much for "the customer is always right". It's not as if we ate our entire meals and then tried to send it back stating that the food was bad. Also, we had a party of 8 so our bill wasn't exactly small to where we were that concerned about the $9. At this point, it's about so much more than that. Fox's on Wolf clearly does not prioritize customer satisfaction. With so many great pizza options in the area, there's no reason to support a business that fails to value its customers. I would recommend taking your business elsewhere.
