I've been getting Gourmet Pizza since I first moved to Aurora in 2005, and they used to be at…read moreStoney's tavern, about a mile south of their current location. Gourmet is hands down the best pizza in Aurora. Crisp thin crust, well cooked, flavorful, delicious. I've recommended Gourmet Pizza to countless friends, and all have thanked me.

Pizza was extremely dry and overcooked on the top. Not the same gourmet pizza corp we have ordered…read morefrom previously. Pricing is not correct on the menu states one price for the specialty pizzas then adds another $10-$12 and then tax. I would completely understand if you were creating or adding extra items. But when it's listed as a special pizza that price should be the price reflected on the menu. I asked the manager why the price was different and he couldn't explain just said that it was in his system that way also..

We headed to Giardino for our post-theater dinner on Sunday. This was our second time at this…read morerestaurant and again, we enjoyed our dining experience. Two for two!! Our server today was Jackie, who provided good service and was personable and friendly. We started with cocktails, an old-fashioned for him and a bees knees for me. The bartender didn't quite get the bees knees to the right balance level with the honey, but I asked one of the staff to ask the bartender to add more honey. He kind of missed the mark on that cocktail unfortunately. In his defense, a lot of bartenders really don't know how to make a good bees knees. We ordered the meatballs and polenta to share as an appetizer. The meatballs rivaled my Italian dad's, and that says a lot because he made the best meatballs ever. The restaurant didn't serve grilled crostini with their meatballs like other places unfortunately, and there was no bread service. However, I believe they do have garlic bread on their menu that you can order For dinner my husband had the short ribs with gnocchi and I had the vodka rigatoni. Both of those dishes were delicious. I don't like short ribs but I gave it a taste - it was tender and delicious. My vodka rigatoni came with chicken for some reason (this 100% Italian would never put chicken with rigatoni alla vodka) so I nixed it. A half slice of garlic bread was served on each of our entrées. My husband's was perfectly grilled and mine was not. The one time I was getting bread and it turned out to be meh. We ordered a tiramisu to take with us to enjoy later that evening. It was light and heavenly. However, for the price, I think they could have offered a larger slice as it was a small 3 x 3 square. Having said that I love that we found a place that has good food just a five-minute walk from the theater. I think our fellow theater goers discovered this place, too, because the place was packed. Even with the slight things that I was disappointed in, I would return time and time again because the food is really good. Give this place to try!

The pizza was always fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The crust had the perfect texture, the ingredients tasted high quality, and everything came out hot and fast. The staff was also incredibly welcoming and kind, which made me feel right at home in our new community. It's hard to find a place that has both amazing food and great service, but this spot definitely does. We'll absolutely be coming back regularly and recommending it to friends and family. My city friends can't stop complaining how delicious the pizzas were. So happy to have such a great local pizza place nearby!

They…read morehave delicious hand-tossed NY style pizza, as well as a thick crust option, and several other menu items including calzones, pasta, appetizers and a lunch special that includes 1 or 2 individual slices and a drink. I've had the lunch special a few times, and last night we decided to order a full pizza for dinner and it was great! There are plenty of toppings to choose from, and I loved my garlic, ricotta and basil half, while the other 2 in my group enjoyed their bacon. We ordered carry out around 7 on a Saturday night and it was ready in approximately 20 minutes. Safe to say this will be my main choice for pizza going forward. 4 stars because it can be a little pricey, and the pricing isn't very clear for toppings on the website. The base price of the pizza is listed at the bottom, but there are no prices by the toppings and the price at the bottom doesn't update, so you can't see the price until you're on the checkout page.
