Now y'all know that I LOVE the veggie pizza... went in today and got my normal, I pick it up and it's cold... not med warm, somewhat warm but cold! I tell the man working behind the counter and he says I don't know why and looks at my dead in my eyes! I can't complain bc it's not his fault but... he could have handled that a little bit better imo read more

Aurelio's is definitely the best thin crust pizza in Chicagoland. The crust is excellent and of course the sauce is great. Nicest people too. They do a great job between great service and a phenomenal pizza can't be beat by anyone anywhere definitely a 10/10 read more

This location has gone down hill. Sparce toppings and not cooked enough. I've been going there for over 15 years.....never again.

As always, Aurelio's hits the spot. Ordered a couple 18" (fiesta) pizzas on a Monday evening. Quick service. Ready in 30 min. Probably could've used an extra few minutes in the oven for my taste, but still great product. I've been to many locations over the years but never downers grove. Surprised to see triangle cut pie at front of kitchen for slices to go but I guess it tastes the same as square cut, or does it? Might have to swing thru again to give that a shot. read more

The "sausage" pizza was terrible!!! When I picked up the pizza, 5 minutes ahead of time they said it would be ready, it was lukewarm and dry. The pizza probably had $1.00 worth of sausage on it. NEVER EVER go there again. read more

Give 3 stars just for the name as they only have carry out but we love there food in Addison in the sundown they have . This is just a carry out type. read more

My favorite pizza! But it's right next door to the theater and I will usually grab a slice and then get my popcorn and a drink and watch a movie! read more

What a disappointment in Aurelio's, Downers Grove. I have been missing their pizza since our house fire in June. I placed an order for pick-up for my brothers bday today. My cousin picked it up for us and when she got here with it. I noticed the salads were missing. Then I noticed my large sausage was only half sausage. I called to let them know. They responded if we could come pick it up they could credit us $10. Sounded nice except they weren't going to replace the pizza. I had 4 people here looking for sausage pizza and only had half a pizza with sausage. I said keep the $10 and replace my pizza. They refused to do that. Completely shocked- they screwed up- I needed to go back. They were going to give me the salads and a $10 credit but wouldn't correct the pizza error. Honestly it can't cost more than $10 to make a pizza. Didn't need to be a large. Correct the half pizza mistake!! Our service mindset has gone to hell. I will never order from them again after this. It's the little things like this that make or break it for me. You lost a good customer over what $10!! read more

Ordered a small meatball pizza online. I came late and it was waiting for me. It was exactly what I would expect from an Aurelio's pizza. Crispy edges. Heavy sauce. Tasty cheese blend. I don't come often because it's so good, I completely overeat. This particular location is very tiny. Hardly any room to eat in. They did have 4 outdoor tables. This location sells slices. Always love the pizza. The apps are real good but I didn't get any this time. read more

Tried to see if they'd improved after 2 months.. I ordered 1 thin & 1 thick pizza. Both were undercooked.. So much so, both my kids threw out their thick pizza because it wasn't edible.. and we are a Pizza loving Family. Time and time again, they continue to disappoint. read more

Service (both dine-in and delivery) is good. No complaints necessarily about the pizza, but hard to distinguish it from other pizza places nearby read more

The worse delivery service I've ever experienced ! staying at the Westin and order pizza they say an hour which is fine but they deliver the pizza and I open it and it looked like someone dropped it five times over pizza folded over itself and everything.... but wait it gets worse they also forgot the mozzarella sticks ! But wait gets worse I call and they so oh ok we will remake it and bring the stuff be there in thirty minutes we'll an hour passes and still no pizza ! I call and this lady goes oh they said you were picking it up ! Ummm no I'm not they said they will be here in thirty minutes .... So needless to say she says well we're closing and I can't get it there ! So now sitting in the hotel with not all my food and a half of pizza folded over itself ! Worse experience ever !!! Never going back ! They refunded my money but doesn't fill my stomach ! read more

Super disappointing. This used to be the only pizza place we would order from but the every time we order now the order is messed up or incomplete and are always left waiting. Today waited 45 min past the scheduled pickup time read more

Pizza is vary greasy and the cheese sticks are hollow serivice is not good at all but they did fix the cheese stick situation but over all it was overpriced and was not worth it read more

I specifically ordered crispy, not sloppy pizza, slightly brown all over. I got spongy pizza that felt like I was eating a bread with pizza toppings on it I called to complain I said I don't mean to complain, but can you read back my order and they read back my order which said exactly what I said crispy pizza I do not want it soggy in the middle and it was just that all over it was sloppy. The entire pizza was squishy. I told the girl my family owns a restaurant in Clarendon Hills and when anybody comes into the restaurant and they don't like what they get we replace it or pay for the meal she said I'll let my manager know that and hung up. It didn't taste anything like the Aurilios in Oak Brook Terrace/ Villa Park ( ALWAYS AMAZING) and I would never order from there again. I bought a fiesta pizza with sausage, onion, black olives, and green pepper. And I bought my son a small sausage pizza and it cost me 65 bucks for a underwhelming meal ...3/4 of the pizza is in a container in refrigerator and it'll be thrown out in a couple days. You all need to do something about your product...The guy that delivered it was great it is his job is to deliver the pizza and it got delivered. But your pizza was TRASH...I would've done better going to Domino's. Thanks for ripping me off. read more

They charged my card twice and then claimed they didn't receive payment. The liars stole my money and didn't even give me the food.

The wings are great, the thin crust is good, the thick crust is better, and the stuffed is best. If you don't care for some of the other "big" brands in Chicago, try Aurelio's. read more

Love stopping by for a slice and a soda before the movies next door, or if I am passing and hungry. It's a tiny seating area for 12 or so people, but it's perfect for devouring a slice. Pizza is always good, even off the rotating pizza heater thing for slices. read more

I JUST LOVE AURELIO'S!! I have been eating at different locations since I was a young teen. Tinley Park, Frankfort, Woodridge, Downers, Chicago you get my point. :) All of the locations are consistent on their pizzas and service. I just love the sauce, crust everything about them. Keep in mind the one located next door to one of my FAVORITE theaters the Tivoli has maybe two small tables. It is more of a take out location. When I do eat pizza I usually go for the thin crust and the thin crust at Aurelio's is the best! They have good pasta dishes as well. They now give you a card for your key chain (like everywhere these days-lol) that gives you reward points. I get email alerts for discounts, coupons etc. I will continue to support and be a fan of them as long as they are around. :) Cheers! read more

Stumbled upon this place after Peet's coffee which is across the train station. We wanted to try some pizza because why not?? We ordered 2 slices and went outside to eat. It was such a beautiful day too! The lady quickly gave us our 2 slices for $5.50 total - Pretty good! The pizza was greasy but tasted really good! No sogginess what so ever, a nice crunchy crust, pepperoni everywhere on that pizza and the cheese and sauce ratio was perfect. Although a similar taste to Peter Pipers if you have eaten there before but better. I would definitely come here again if I'm wandering in that area again!! read more

I love this pizza, always have since I was younger. Can't beat the sauce. Maybe a little pricy, but I think it's worth it. Also very nice that you can buy it by the slice. read more

Aurelio's is one of the best Chicagoland pizzas you can get! If you haven't tried you must! They do not do deep dish only thin crust pizza which is fine because that's what they are known for! It is located in Downtown Downers Grove near the Metra tracks next to the Tivoli Movie Theatre. Great location to grab a pizza after work or before a movie! The eat in area is very small with only two tables, perfect for a family or a couple friends wanting to grab a bite. The staff is friendly and hard working. Aurelio's uses great ingredients and the crust has excellent flavor. I always make sure to stop and get a pizza everytime I'm in town! The owner is great and stays involved in the community as well. read more

Aurelio's Pizza - Great location in downtown Downers! - Pizza Near Me - Downers Grove, Illinois

We've been enjoying the tasty full of ingredients from Aurelio's Pizza. La Grange-Aurelio's Pizza is quite consistent with how they make the superb-quality pizza that we always crave for. On the other-hand, we hope that the Downers Grove-Aurelio's Pizza should do the same. Maybe you guys from Downers Grove see/try/taste how the La Grange Aurelio's is made. A strong suggestion from your loyal customer, please be consistent with how you make an Aurelio's pizza. Sad to say, it's been disappointing lately from the Downers Grove-Aurelio's Pizza, the pizza that we love is quite not as expected, "sub-standard" in the amount of ingredients and over-all quality, it seems that some young individual who is still learning made the pizzas we had recently without regard to the great-standards of Aurelio's Pizza. Please stick to your high-quality standard and carefully / thoroughly make an honest-to-goodness--Aurelio's pizza. Thank you. read more

This is a dependable pizza place with consistently good pizza and good service. The pizza is also made close to the estimated time of delivery or pick up. read more

I talked to Joe in Frankfort told him the sauce in downers wasn't his. He said he sells the ingredients to these franchises And he is watching some franchises because there aren't ordering enough of certain ingredients. And that he believes some stores are cutting his sauce mix w plain tomato sauce Making it taste (crappy) NOT LIKE HIS THEY BETTER GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER BEFORE THEY LOSE THE FRANCHISE read more

Aurielo's is one fine establishment! In the ever crowded Chicago pizza market, Aurielo's has made a footprint and name for itself with massive expansion of its delicious thin crust pizza. Home to the deep dish pizza, many Chicagoans prefer a slice of two of deep dish over thin crust, but I think the thin vs deep dish is a close debate. For me, I always prefer a thin crust pizza or Sicilian pan style. Thus, I always enjoy finding a quality new option for thin crust. Aurelio's definitely delivered one of the BEST thin crusts in Chicago that I have ever tried. Why is it so good? A couple of key contributions and differentiators to this thin crust are the homemade pizza sauce and also the caramelized cheese on the bottom of the crust. The caramelized cheese might go unnoticed to the causal diner, but not past my taste buds. The extra crunch of caramelized cheese was a winning bite. I easily could have eaten a whole pizza to myself, but I was at work and was required to share this pizza with my co-workers. Next time, it is all mine!! Shoutout to the BEST managers who introduced me to Aurelio's! I would not have written this Yelp review if it was not for their fine taste in local Chicago Za!! There is no debate whether I could have chosen to be off work laying out on this 90 degree sunny Friday in Chicago or at work crushing pizza with my friends and colleagues. The choice is not close as pizza at work is a no brainer choice. It is important to do what you enjoy on a daily basis, but always remember to eat what you enjoy too. My comfort food of choice is a thin crust pizza pie. read more

Super annoyed. Everything is so expensive now that it's not hard to just expect to get what you pay for. Taco pizza is a lot of money. Comes with sour cream and salsa. It wasn't in our bag. Ranch comes with our toasted ravioli and wasn't in the bag. We purposely asked and said is everything in here? The response: yep. Don't charge so much if you can't even give what's included. Over it. read more

I have loved Aurelios for as long as I can remember. Classic spot for a solid slice of pizza. This place is a local favorite for a reason.

Great pizza. The sauce and cheese are truly what makes it. Been ordering here for years. Only one small complaint: their prices are a bit high and delivery time can be long. But other than that, the pizza tastes amazing every time read more

I grew up in Chicago suburbs and Aurelio's was always one of my favorites. I was in town for a meeting so I ordered delivery. The girl who took my order was friendly and had a great attitude. They brought it to my hotel, about 45-60 minutes from when I ordered. Pizza was warm and exactly what I ordered! Delicious! read more

I feel bad giving a one star since its a DG staple and their thin crust is pretty good for those who like a sweeter sauce. I just cant give over a one star for how nasty their stuffed is. Seriously....did someone lose the recipe?!? Super soggy, waaaaay too much sauce, so gross. No cohesiveness at all...tasted like a bowl of spaghetti with smashed up bread. Please take this off the menu. read more

Aurelio's Pizza - Stuffed....huh???? - Pizza Near Me - Downers Grove, Illinois

I last had Aurelio's pizza 25 years ago when I lived in Downers Grove. Since I moved away, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. So, after years of thinking, "I need to go back there when I'm visiting," I finally did. I can't believe how closely the pizza I just had matches the ones in my memory. (How often does that happen?!) I had a 10" pepperoni, and it was delicious. The owner's brother told me that, in the last 25 years, only the sauce had changed; they went from on-site homemade to a chain-wide sauce. Although the "new" sauce is not quite as distinctive as before, it seems very close. Even better: It's the crust I've been yearning for, and this pie did not disappoint. Nostalgia aside, this is simply really good pizza -- and it doesn't taste like every other pizza you've eaten. The only downside -- at least to this specific location -- is that delivery or carry out is pretty much the only option here; there are just two tables on-site, with total seating for eight (plus however many could cram onto a windowseat/banquette). Note: After reading some reviews here -- and seeing things for myself -- I will say that "pizza by the slice" is NOT the way to sample Aurelio's best work. On my visit -- late afternoon on a Sunday -- these slices looked warmed over, dried out, and very unappetizing. Don't be swayed by convenience; order a small, personal pizza (if you don't want much), grab a soda from the cooler, have a seat, and wait for them to make you a fresh pie. Better: Order a larger size and have the cold leftovers the next day. read more

I ordered pizza and salad for few hundred people today! They rocked it out! Everything was hot and salad was fresh! Thank you so much for making our National Pizza Party Day go down perfectly! read more

Great thin crust pizza. I haven't had much thin crust in my visits to Chicago and Aurelio's was an excellent combination of a crispy edge but still a soft doughy bottom. The toppings were excellent and I really enjoyed the way the green peppers were roasted with the pizza (most pizza places have clearly undercooked vegetables). Definitely a different experience from thick Chicago style pizza that most of us non Chicago natives think of- but still very tasty. read more

We recently moved here and we're so excited to try this new place. There was only one customer and five or six people behind the counter a cute little place that reminded me of a simpler time. I ordered a piece of cheese pizza and the kid behind the counter check a piece of pizza out from a glass warmer and put it on a plate. When I bent into the pizza, it was so old that the cheese on top had turned into a crust and actually crunched what I put into it. Inside the pizza was totally cold. My boyfriend asked him to please heat up the pizza for me and they returned it a few minutes later boiling hot and again, so old that the cheese was like a varnish on top hard as a rock. It was not edible. I could not believe that out of the five people in the back not one person even looked up after serving a piece of pizza that should've been thrown away hours ago. I told the only guy behind the counter that seem to care that the PizzA was not Edible and explained why. I explained that we had just moved to the area and I would have been so excited about trying this place. I left the pizza on the counter and I will never ever ever go into this place again. These people are rapidly ruining what was probably a great little pizzeria. You keep your petrified slice that you should never have served anyone but a goat and I'll keep the $500 I might have spent there this year if your pizza had been any good. read more

A year and a half into living in Downers Grove and I'm still astounded by the fact that I can get more than "fast food pizza" delivered to my front door. That's pretty damn amazing if you ask me, and so is Aurelio's pizza. Generally it takes about 50 minutes from my call to the arrival of a fresh, steaming hot pie covered in delicious melty cheese and a crust with cooked on deliciousness. Aurelio's is definitely my favorite pizza from the taste to the people who work there to the friendly delivery drivers. I haven't got a single complaint. read more

1. only way to order online is through their app. The app SUCKS. Tried for 20 minutes to try to order ended up having to call in the order. 2. I was told an hour to an hour and 15 minutes. Long wait, but it's Saturday night. I had to repeat everything twice. After an hour and 20 minutes I call and I am told it's going to be another 40 minutes. Pizza hasn't even left the restaurant. Then she proceeds to complain they had 100 orders in the last hour. Not my problem. 2 hours for pizza delivery, I wouldn't have wasted my time waiting with hungry kids. read more

Went here for a quick bite to eat - 2 slices and a coke for $6.25. Unfortunately, the pizza looked like it had been there all day. I asked for some new slices, as did the gentleman behind me, and they said no - we have 5 slices of pepperoni on the case. Of course, the 5 slices were on 4 different shelves, which meant they were as old as they looked. So I opted for cheese, which looked better but still tasted old and stale. Normally I like Aurelio's, but this location is not very good. They need to freshen their inventory periodically - once a day would be an improvement. read more
