    Small meatball and cheese.
    Mud B.

    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.

    Soggy undercooked pizza - A paper plate holds two slices of pizza with cheese and tomato sauce, along with several pieces of chicken, on a table at Aurelio's Pizza in Downers Grove, IL.

    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.

    This is how my pizza came ! - A pizza with cheese and toppings, cut into slices, in a pizza box with some slices missing and crumbs.

    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 !

    So much pepperoni they don't skimp!

    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!!

    See all

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

    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.

    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.

We sat in the far back room, which felt like an overflow room. I wished we sat in the first dining room. (Note to self for next time ) We brought a couple bottles of wine from home. Corkage fee was $25 a bottle. I learned that this restaurant has a dual license so not only can you enjoy their large selection of wine while dining, but they sell their wine for 50% off of the wine list price to take home. Carol, our server, was personable and took good care of us. Our party of five shared two starters, the antipasto and the carpaccio. I was surprised that the carpaccio, although fresh and tasty, did not come with any grilled bread. I always order carpaccio at restaurants and it usually comes with crostini or grilled bread to put the thinly sliced beef on. I think that would be a nice addition to this starter. Taurasi makes homemade pasta so the five of us all had pasta dishes. My husband had Rigatoni Ragu Napoletano with an addition of a side of two meatballs. I had Ricotta Gnocchi alla Sorrentina. Both very good housemade pasta dishes. The side of meatballs were served with no sauce. I thought that was quite unusual. My husband and I split the meatballs so I asked our server to bring some sauce for the meatballs. The meatballs were full of flavor, soft and moist. It reminded me of my dad's meatballs. My friend who doesn't eat meat took a bite and asked for a second one. That says a lot about the taste of the meatballs. Sergio checked on us periodically to make sure we were enjoying our experience and then introduced us to the owner/chef Raffaele at the end of our meal. Raffaele is the one who curates the wine selection. He is a sommelier as well as the chef.. While talking to Raffaele, I asked about the pasta my husband and I learned to make on our trip to Tuscany last fall called pici, and he said he would make it for me even though it's not on the menu. Well, you know I'll be coming back to his restaurant again. Taurasi also hosts special wine events/ tastings and also has live music on occasion in the bar area. Outside of the minor glitches I had with where we were seated, the lack of grilled bread with the carpaccio and the sauceless meatballs, I would recommend this restaurant. The pasta is delicious and the service is good.

We recently tried their pizza, chicken parm, and a seafood pasta dish and every single item was absolutely amazing. The pizza had the perfect balance of crispy crust and flavorful sauce, with fresh, high quality toppings that really stood out. The chicken parm was tender, perfectly breaded, and smothered in rich marinara and melted cheese, comfort food at its best. And the seafood pasta? Outstanding. Fresh, generous portions of seafood in a beautifully seasoned sauce that tied everything together. The only small downside is that it is a tad pricey, especially for the pizza. No pizza should really be over 25 dollars, it is cheese, dough, and sauce after all. That said, the quality and flavor definitely help justify it. You can tell they care about quality and authenticity. Great flavors, generous portions, and an overall fantastic dining experience. We will definitely be back!
