!First timers! We had a nice dinner at Aurelio's Family Italian Restaurant in Ramsey! I didn't know what to expect on a Friday night, but at 6:30ish, there were plenty of open tables, high top, booths and standard tables available. The atmosphere was warm and inviting (totally reminded me of restaurants I would visit in the early 90s), and the service was excellent--friendly and attentive from start to finish. We started with the breadsticks, which were good but nothing out of the ordinary. My husband ordered the Aurelio's Classic Italian Sub, and wow--it was fantastic! Perfectly toasted bread, flavorful meats, a homemade italian dressing for dipping and just the right balance of toppings. Definitely a must-try! I had the fettuccine alfredo, which, unfortunately, didn't impress me. The sauce was a bit bland, and I was hoping for a little more richness...it was surprisingly very watery and the noodles undercooked. That being said, the experience overall was still great, and I'd absolutely come back--especially for that sub and the wonderful service! FOUR stars for the great vibes, great staff, and that amazing sandwich! read more

I grew up eating this type of pizza in the Chicagoland area and this is really the only place you can get it in Minnesota. Prepare yourself for a sweeter sauce as that is what makes it unique. I've been here many many times starting when it was a hole in wall in Roseville. I travel about a half an hour to get it now and it is worth it every time. Got a caesar salad for the first time on this visit and it was a good salad even though the dressing really didn't taste like a caesar. More vinegar and oil than creamy caesar but still good. Glad to see the place was busy as I though Covid policies would surely have done it in as a friend told me there has been a lot of restaurants at this location. Will keep coming back! read more

Best pizza in the 5 state area. Give it a try. Always great service and the food is always good, my favorite is #20 .check it out.

Wife's siblings were from Chicago (original pie shop) and visiting in St Cloud. Decided to make a trip and it was well worth it!! Fabulous garlic cheese bread and the pizza was amazing. We had an added bonus, they were celebrating their anniversary and Lil Joe Aurelio just flew in from Chicago to celebrate and also met the original local franchise which ran their shop in Roseville but moved it to Ramsey. read more

Been meaning to get in here for a long time. Finally did tonight. Cheese sticks are good but the pizza is just not good. I wanted to like it but it was terrible. Even the soda tasted off. Service was meh. $70 for 2 small pizzas, cheese sticks and 2 sodas. Definitely will not go back. read more

It's Aurelios. Nuff said. If you're from Chicago you know. We have frozen pizzas shipped to our home in Montana at no small cost. Worth every penny. read more

Service was great, food was great. They need customers to support them during the road construction!!! We'll be back.

Stuffed pizza blew me away! I'm a pizza connoisseur; and this is some of the best pizza I've had anywhere! The large is a monster and could easily feed six people. The decor and service is what you'd expect in a small Ramsey food establishment; but the food and drink deals are awesome. Will certainly be back in the future! read more

Aurelio's Pizza - Stuffed pizza - Pizza Near Me - Ramsey, Minnesota

Great food, Friendly people, Nice atmosphere! Fast service, We will be back often!!! Pizza is wonderful!!!

I was so excited to go to this Aurelio's location because I grew up going to the original Aurelio's in Homewood, IL. I try to get back to IL a couple times a year and my first stop is always there. Today I finally visited the Ramsey location. The Antipasto salad came packed in an overflowing small bowl that was 85% lettuce, with 2 small plastic side cups with Italian dressing. It wasn't tossed in the bowl and couldn't have been due to the size of the bowl. The salad was so bad I started to worry about the pizza but was hopeful. When the pizza arrived, the first thing I noticed was that the cheese looked orange. We couldn't take a slice off without the cheese and toppings sliding off the crust. Okay, we'll use a knife and fork. That's when we discovered the crust was undercooked. I'm guessing too much sauce was put on the pizza before putting it in the oven which prevented it from cooking thus making the cheese soupy. We ate less than a quarter of the pizza, boxed it up, paid the bill and left. A total waste of time and money. read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE ONLINE! WHAT A JOKE! In my opinion don't bother going here at all. I messed up assuming cheese came on pizza. Boy was I wrong! It's confusing on the app because the options are cheese only, light cheese or no cheese. I didn't select any of the options because I just wanted the regular amount of cheese. Assuming pizza came with cheese unless you asked for "No" cheese. An 18 inch pizza that was $39.20 not only made without cheese. They burnt to a crisp. The only way the Guy would remake a new pizza correct was if we paid full price for a replacement pizza. This was after he said I thought it was weird you ordered the pizza without cheese. Not to mention I added cheese to the garlic bread I ordered. Plus I ordered packets of Parmesan cheese! This establishment doesn't believe in customer service that's obvious. Good thing pizza restaurants are a dime a dozen. Take your business elsewhere if you want to have tasty pizza that's not burnt! And you like good customer service! I added pics of the burnt pizza and the confusing app. read more

My first visit to Aurelio's - I like the pizza - it has a unique sweet red sauce. I can't believe that Aurelio's has been in Minnesota for decades and I've never been there. But now there's a new location only 5 minutes from my house. (And mercifully, the old restaurant finally died and went away to Failed Restaurant Heaven.) First, I thought the pizza was very good. (I ordered a 10" small thin crust with sausage, pepperoni, and jalapenos.) The sauce is different. It's sweet. It tastes a lot like a sweet Ragu spaghetti sauce. I think this is a different flavor that's somewhat polarizing...some people will love it and others might hate it. You can see this reflected in some of the opinions in earlier Yelp reviews. So before you try the pizza and drop some dough, you might want to ask for a sample to see if it's your thing. Second, I also tried the Aurelio's Italian Submarine Sandwich and some Jalapeno Poppers. They were both great. You can pick from about half a dozen dipping sauces for the apps. I picked the sweet hot pepper sauce. It was very good and a nice compliment to the poppers. Third, they have a full bar. So it's a nice place to watch some TV at the bar and grab a beer or a cocktail. Finally, the service was awesome. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and on top of their game. It's a very welcoming place. The bar tender, Keith, was a particularly nice guy with a friendly, low key demeanor. Stop by if you're in the mood for a pizza...but try the red sauce first. -Daddy Maxx Retro read more

We had tried this place for the 1st time today. WOW!!! was the food excellent!!! Thin crust pizza was amazing. Chicago style and they are right!!! It's the sauce!!! We also had the best onion rings too! We will be back. read more

To be honest the pizza is nothing special. I ordered two pizzas- one white and one red and was unimpressed. The red sauced pizza had cheddar(?) cheese on it which is a first. The pizzas were not a hit with our group. I will probably look for another place next time I am in the area. read more

The pizza was okay, but the spaghetti with meatballs were awesome i get it with marinara sauce., Very pricey

Pizza is solid for the price. Deep fried ravioli is very sparse for $9, we had 8 pieces?! Spaghetti and meat sauce is very good, but almost $17 for a takeout size portion was hefty, maybe portions are bigger when you eat in? We were excited to try after a long day at lake Milacs driving home into MPLS. It's ok. But spending $70 on takeout and getting small meal and appetizer was a bummer. Pizza was huge though, FYI read more

Very good pizza. Lots of cheese. Nobody ate the leftover pizza. I probably wouldn't order again.

Being a huge fan of Aurelios in the Chicagoland area, I stop at this one when traveling in the Minneapolis area. It's worth going out of the way for. They cook the pizzas properly and get the order right every time. Aurelios pizza is the best. I always recommend extra sauce, as the sauce it Walmart makes it so good. read more

This was our first visit. You could tell the salad had been premade at least a day ago (but wonderful blue cheese dressing but the croutons were soggy) Great service! Very attentive! The beef ravioli was wonderful, the bread however was stale and my husbands bread was a little cold in the middle..(I am thinking we just went on an off day) We were not over pleased with THIS visit... but will most likely give it another try. The atmosphere was very nice also. read more

One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten! Great place to hangout and eat there too. I would recommend this place to anyone!

First time stopping in and was impressed. Lots of cheese and toppings and perfectly crispy thin crust. Will for sure come back but for the first time going...I liked it a lot read more

Great thin crust pizza. Unique sauce in the best kind of way. Awesome cheese and crunchy edge pieces. We got the super six and loved it. Why the three star rating, you say? Because authentic Canadian whisky during the prohibition era was likely cheaper to acquire. $48.50 for an 18" pizza. That's right, no typos here. Fifty dollars for a pizza. Absolutely arrogant prices. Unreal read more

Stopped in for a bit of lunch and left very surprised. Delicious pizza! It was super tasty, tons of cheese and very quick to arrive at the table. Next we ordered some the jalapeno poppers. They were good as well. My only gripe is that they used cheddar cheese to stuff them. I like cream cheese in my poppers. That is just personal preference though. Check this joint out. It was great. Will be going back for sure read more

Love, love, love their double pizza, bone in wings and cast iron chocolate chip cookie! Great service and happy hour deals.

We did curbside pick up this evening. As always, the pizza was fabulous. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza even though there are only two of us so we can get a couple more meals from it. Yum!! Quick service, very nice employees and GREAT pizza. read more

Most excellent sandwiches! Perfect balance of meat, cheese, veggies and sauce on the side...and the bread couldn't be better. Definitely will go back. read more

I don't know what kind of magic Aurelio's uses on their pizza, but their pizzas are worthy of notice, and of devouring. Don't let the size of the personal pizza fool you. It's only four slices but it's mighty filling. I had the pepperoni and sausage. It certainly would rank in my own personal top 10 list of best tasting pizzas. Why? I don't know what they do with their cheese, but their oven creates an awesome crust that hovers over a delicious gooey layer of hot cheese. So, with each bite you're getting the crispiness of cheese on top and a crisp thin layer of crust on the bottom, filled with a flavorful tomato sauce and toppings. Best of all, neither the top or bottom are charred or burned. The crust is something of a miracle too, in that it curls up on the edges slightly. It's a nice dark brown and holds your sauce in so that it's not spilling all over your lap. I'm telling you... This is a terrific and unique pizza. I didn't think I could be surprised by pizza, but I was. I would definitely recommend it, and definitely return... Over and over again. You wowed me Aurelio's, and that's hard to do. read more

We have heard all about this place, so we were excited to give it a try. First off, it felt a little bit cramped in the seating area, but there were some nice touches, like having trivia cards at each table. We ordered a salad and pizza. The salad was mostly iceberg lettuce and the dressing was ok. The pizza was thin crust and the cheese, crust, and sauce were not our cup of tea. It seemed way too greasy for some reason, and we couldn't figure out why. It did not seem to be a good value for the money, it seemed expensive. Later, after talking to some friends (we had mentioned that the menu was a little bit confusing), and the waiter didn't explain a lot either, we found that the "thing to order" is the "stuffed" pizza, which is supposedly like a deep dish or pan/chicago style. Some day when we're feeling adventurous we might try it again! read more

First visit, tried small regular crust and stuffed crust, both sausage, pepp, onion. Our group all agreed that both were very good, the the regular crust was preferred of the two. The flavor was better than the similarly prices comparables in Anoka/Ramsey. We're looking forward to further exploring the other menu choices. Staff was very friendly and vibe was casual. read more

Best pizza and service around!!! Sara was our server and she was awesome, will definitely be back!!

Great pizza and quick service. Staff is friendly. I grew up in Homewood I'll. area and Aurelios has always been my go to place! It's great they are only 10 minutes from my house now! All their food is good! read more

One Bite, Everybody Knows The Rules. (6.8 score for Dave, 9.9 for me) Stop on in and support this family pizzeria that has been around since 1959. When I was younger, I used to get Aurelio's when it was located in Roseville, MN. After the move, my family still visits, often to take out No-Bake Pizzas for home. What makes Aurelios different: "It's the Sauce". A uniquely different pizza that is worth the price. At there new location they have a full bar, outdoor patio, and lots of weekly specials. Enjoy! read more

Super good pizza! Love the stuffed crust but not as big of a fan of thin crust pizza - not just theirs, all thin in general. Sauce is s little on the sweet side but still delicious! Have gone several times and always pleased. read more

Very good pizza, the crust is a thinner version of Chicago pizza. The sauce is flavorful and the toppings are quality ingredients. The service has always been very good. I am surprised they don't have a higher rating. read more

the best pizza around the sauce is delicious also toasted raviolis are amazing as well

I have loved this place since I was a kid. I was so excited when they moved to Ramsey And now I enjoy taking my kids to eat pizza here.

Aurelios blows all the nearby competition out of the water. You can't go wrong with the thin crust, but my favorite is the spinach and cheese Calabrese. The ratio of cheese to sauce is perfect and is wrapped around a perfectly crispy crust. The sauce is sweet and tangy, which pairs well with the salty mozzarella. read more
