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
