Aurelio’s Pizza – Oakbrook

It was OK but not as good as other places I’ve had pizza. However, their pizza is ridiculously overpriced as are most of the non-​chain pizza joints in Chicago. How is it that Domino’s, Papa John’s, Pizza Hut and even Little Caesar’s chains are able to produce a perfectly decent 14 inch two-​topping pizza for under $ 10 (and make nice profits) when the same pizza is $ 20 PLUS at every Non-​chain? They are just not THAT much better to justify being able to charge twice the price for the same product. I could see $ 3-​$ 4 more but not double the price – no way. I’m going back to Papa John’s – there’s just not enough difference in taste and quality for the mom and pops to charge twice the price for the same product.

Aurelio’s has decent thin crust pizza. My job orders take-​out frequently. I’ve tried varieties of pizza from here, always delicious

Ok I’m blown away at how much this pizza costs. I call to see how much a large Pizza cost & couldn’t believe my ears that a «large» pizza with 3 toppings is $ 34. I’ve paid less for stadium pizzas that tasted AMAZING. I was just sitting there waiting for Ashton Kutcher to snatch the phone on the other end and be like HA YOU GOT PUNKED! There’s no such thing as a pizza good enough worth paying that much for.

Ordered a medium pizza and an order of hot wings. Got charged $ 35. Received 6 mediocre wings with kraft packets of dressing. Not even the dressing that I asked for. Pizza was good, but for $ 35 I would expect a little better quality of wings and dressing. At least the dressing that I asked for. Could’ve spent half the price at Dominos and received better wings and dare I say a better pizza. not impressed.

Actually, I have experienced better as the 2-​star rating says here, «Meh. I’ve experienced better» as I write.
I have been here twice, for a gluten free veggie pizza. Each time they have charged me different for the SAME pizza and SAME size. I don’t know what is their real price because they are so discreet about it. They always confuse their customers with hidden costs and such.
The taste is average. I found it way too soft and doughy (even though it was gluten free). It was more like a pizza on a giant slice of bread (since their gluten free pizzas are square shaped).
I would not be going back again unless I have NOWHERE to go and I’m craving a pizza.

I love Aurelio’s! It has an old-​fashioned taste, good sweet sauce, juicy Italian sausage, thin crust (used to be thinner, something changed in the last year or so). Mushrooms are fresh, in fact, all the veggies have been fresh. Tastes like Chicago pizza should taste, according to this 50-​something-​year-​old palate.

I used to enjoy this pizza for years, but recently spent just under $ 30 for large pizza with one topping. Really ??? You just lost my business. To many other pizza chains these days to pay that much.

I haven’t had pizza from Aurelio’s since I was a kid and when I mentioned that I was going to be getting pizza for dinner tonight, it was recommended by one of my coworkers so I figured I’d give it a shot.
I used the online ordering, which is something I really like having the option of. Placing the order went smoothly and I got a confirmation email but not a call so I called, like the email said to, just to be sure that the order went through. It had so we waited patiently for our order to arrive.
The driver got here in just about an hour, which the site indicates is normal for them at busy times.
As for the actual food, I rather liked the pizza. The crust was thicker and maybe a bit spongier than I am used to but I liked it. The cheese was abundant and had a bit of crispiness to it — like it was on the way to getting burned if it had been left in the oven for three minutes longer. There were plenty of toppings and the sausage and pepperoni were quite tasty. The most important thing to me is the saltiness level when it comes to pizza and this fit the bill quite nicely. The last few places we’ve ordered from have been rather bland so I was glad that this pizza was just right. I didn’t get much from the sauce but it was maybe on the sweeter side.
I guess my only complaint is the price. With tip, we paid $ 34 for a medium pizza with half pepperoni and sausage and half mushroom and onion, and that is a lot more than we pay for the same thing from other places. I would probably do carry out if we were to crazy Aurelio’s in the future so I could avoid the $ 3 delivery charge that is applied to the order but it seems like it’s a bit pricier in general — noting the carry-​out menu shows a single serve side salad for $ 5.95, which is still a bit more than other places.
Also, and at this point, it’s not really an issue, but they seem to have problems with their card processing on the online orders so make sure you don’t forgot how you paid and pay cash when you’ve also got a charge pending on your card. The driver, if you have delivery, should have a card signature slip for you to sign.
In general, tasty and fits the pizza bill nicely but a bit on the expensive side.

Good old Aurelio’s!
We order from this location frequently at work. Just ordered yesterday and they got a delicious 18 inch pizza to us in under 45 minutes.
Aurelio’s is great pizza if you like sweet sauce. It’s not overly sweet– it’s more like a hint of sweetness. I love it, but my family HATES it. It’s never anything we order at home, but it is a secret craving that I partake in on occasion!
A more specific comment about the company rather than this specific location is that all of the Aurelio’s are very involved in the communities they are located in. They are at almost every school function I’ve attended throughout the western suburbs, festivals and fairs, and they even donated a pizza to my classroom in April when we were doing a pizza unit.
If anything gets you major points with me, it’s that you actually care about the community that supports your business.

I am not sure why other people have given it such poor postings, but Aurelios Pizza has the best thin crust in Chicago. It is best if you eat it at the restaurant, but the take out isn’t bad either. The sauce is the best part. This particular location is take out only. Hopefully they will one day go back to a full sized restaurant.

I have found the secret in obtaining a good Aurelios pizza. Seriously. Here is the secret: go at noon for just a slice or two on weekdays only.
They routinely serve veggie, pepperoni, and sausage pizza slices with a beverage.
The kicker is this: you are pretty much guaranteed a truly hot, truly fresh, couple of slices (during the week) because of high turn over.
I do think their gravy is decent; but there’s always disappointment with a whole pizza. I also enjoy the kick of their red pepper seasoning.
The daily single slice offerings, however, are not gluten free. For some reason, whole pizza’s are either overcooked, undercooked, or heavy
on the grease.
For a brand that’s been around for awhile, they should sit around (preferably at lunch time) and figure out a way to improve.

So, the Aurelio’s that used to be in the strip mall in Oak Brook Terrace closed down and they opened this one accross the street. It’s only take out, but I think they do have a few tables in there. NOT a sit down restaurant though.
I find Aurelio’s pizza very heavy, well the crust anyways. I’ve gotten it on quite a few different occasions. The sauce is good and so are the ingredients, but I always have stomach problems after. The good thing about Aurelio’s is that they have gluten free pizza so people with celiac’s don’t have to feel left out.
