This place was OK. I wasn't wow'd but the sauce on the pizza was really good. The food was hot and fresh. They serve gluten free pizzas which are decent. read more

I've eaten there two times and am always very surprised with how good the food is and how reasonable the prices are. Excellent service too. If my kids lived around here this would be our "family" restaurant of choice. read more

I love Aurelio's thin crust pizza. The thin crust pizza at this location is excellent and it's the sauce, sausage and extra cheese that makes the pizza special . (As a rule I do not order Aurelio's stuffed pizza because it's not anything on par with Giordano's, but I digress) I always order carryout from the Geneva Aurelio's. I have some coupons that I saved from the days when they were just a carryout place across the street, so I still get deals even though their prices have gone up. I have no complaints with the pizza there. I think if more people ordered carryout they would have less complaints in these reviews. Geneva is a busy town, there is limited parking and it's loud and busy in the restaurant on the weekends. The morale of this review is to save yourself a negative review and order a pizza to go. read more

Good thin crust pizza. The sausage is delicious, and you should definitely put it as a topping. Almost everything else is ok. Do NOT get the deep dish pizza. If you are in the mood for deep dish, try giordanos. read more

Great service! Fast! GF pizza is rather small, but tastes great. The crust is not super thin and doesn't crumble all over the place. Full of flavor too. I got the antipasta salad and the small fed at least two people. Outdoor seating is cute. Will go here again and recommend it to friends :) read more

Unfortunately this was our last visit to Aurelio's. We used to love going there but the service has not been good. At the restaurant it is average but it is even worse for carry out. We have had issues with our pick up orders. Today as an example they completely forgot one of the meals and got one of them wrong. When I called they were not accommodating at all. They asked if we were willing to come back to pick up the missing order. We had someone without their food so we didn't have a choice. They looked for the missing order and implied it was the one they found under the heater that they forgot to pack. I asked for a new sandwich since that one would have been sitting there an additional 15 minutes. The person answering the phones acted like that was an inconvenience and told me the manager would make that call if it was cold. They were also not overly apologetic and when I asked if they would be doing anything for our inconvenience since we had to drive back there she offered a $10 off our next visit which they didn't give us anyway. The food is average and the customer service is horrible. There are other restaurants in Geneva with great service so I would save yourself the hassle and go elsewhere. They need better managers who can manage the young kids they have working there who don't want to be there. read more

I am bummed. I read the reviews and was told by many that this place is good. Not for us. My review is based on delivery, not dine in. We ordered a small thin crust, sausage/mushroom pizza and an italian beef with fries. The total cost with tip was $31.00. I am guessing by the prices on line that delivery charge is $5.00. We never got the receipt with the dollar amounts. So the pizza, it was cold. So cold we could peel the cheese layer off the crust. The italian beef was cold and the fries were soggy. I was so disappointed. We live less than 2 miles from the Geneva location. Also, like i mentioned we ordered sausage/mushroom pizza and there were only 6 slices of mushrooms on the pizza. There was plenty of sausage but we did pay for mushrooms and that is not right. The sauce is sweet but salty. If you like sweet and salty sauce then you'll like the sauce. It was too salty for us, but by time we reheated the pizza and began to eat, we had negative feelings. Plus soggy fries is the worst. It was as if they were steamed. read more

Frozen home run in pizza is better. They use mushrooms from a can. Seriously. The rubber ones that are kind of yellowish. That says a lot about how much care they put into food prep. Great outside patio. Avoid the pizza. read more

There were 9 in our party. It was about 1230 on Friday afternoon and the place had about 6 other people there. That should have been our first sign that we picked the wrong place. After we ordered our drinks the waiter dropped off the nonalcoholic drinks and the disappeared for 15 minutes. When he came back and we asked about them he said the bartender was working on them and they should be right up (we ordered draft beer). After the server was done hiding from us he took our pizza order. He disappeared again and we continued to see people get their food. When he would come by he would lie about it being almost up. 3 of our guests had to leave and so now we did not have enough people to eat the food we ordered. When the pizza finally came out they must have cut it too early because the cheese was all over the place and the crust was terrible. No one really cared about the service that was given. There are so many good restaurants in geneva. We will never go back to this one. read more

tried Aurelio's for the first time, thin crust was the worst pizza I have ever had, no flavor for the high price. Would not recommend your pizza to anyone. read more

Service was good so I'll give this place two stars instead of just one. Had raviolis and a stuffed pizza. The raviolis were fine, but extremely small for the price. The stuffed pizza is where my serious gripe fest begins. I had heard nothing but good things about this place and WOW... I could not have been more disappointed. Pricing of their stuffed pizza is on par with some great stuffed pizza places like Nancy's and Giordano's, but falls extremely short when you compare quality. I mean this stuff is bad... really bad. It reminds me of the days when I'd scrounge around in the fringe desperately trying to make something and I end up pouring some high-salt-content, store-bought, pizza sauce over some tortillas and throw some mozzarella on top. If this sounds like something you'd like to pay $40 for, then this is the place for you. I love pizza and this place gives pizza a bad name. Shut it down please. read more

Went for the first time last night and we all loved the pizza. Great crust and a slightly sweet sauce. Service was very friendly and quick, however we did have a mixup. Our pizza came out with tomatoes when we had ordered spinach. Everyone else in the party had their food so we really didn't want to wait for another pizza so we just ate it (which was great, just not what we had ordered) and or server put in an order for the correct pizza for us to take home. How nice! We will definitely be back. read more

OMG!!! I grew up eating Aurelio's in Homewood. We usually go to the Aurelio's in Addison. Last night, however, we were in Geneva with family---10 total. Decided to check out the new "sit down" Aurelio's. We were told it would be a 45 minute wait. Decided to stay. Father in law not too happy about waiting. 5 kids were very hungry! Waited an hour! They seated a party of 8 that came in after us BEFORE us! Already invested an hour and 10 minutes at this time. Tempers were flaring in our party! Begged hostess and host kids to do something! Decided to look in back area to see if there were 2 tables instead opened. Saw a table for 10 opened and ready. Meanwhile, table we were told that was for us had people who were lingering talking and visiting! Asked (actually pleaded) with manager to give us the table in the back. He got a funny look on his face and told me that it was reserved FOR HIS FAMILY!!!! I could not believe it!!!!!!!!!! Never ever have I encountered such a thing!!!!!!!! Aurelio's corporate should pull this guy's franchise!!!! We finally sat down. Should have left, but I did not tell my family what really happened. They would have gone ballistic!!!! Antipasto salad was generic. Pizza was fine. I will never go to this location again. For you people in Geneva, drive out to the Aurelios in Addison. They take care of their customers. An absolute nightmare!!!! STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

If I could rate this disgusting place a ZERO I would!!! First of all I am happy some people put honest reviews aNd I wish I did NOT give this place a try. When I called to order I was put on hold for 5-6 min before I could place my order and then when I finally was able to order..some guy(sounded Spanish like)was very very rude to me & degrading when I asked a question regarding a topping. I should have taken this as a sign that they don't care about their customers! So when I get there to pick up my pizza, I see workers slicing toppings on what looked like upside down garbage cans(gross) but, I tried to look past that. I believe the rude person on the phone, who took my order, was now getting my pizzas for me because he was so rude & snapped at me when I asked for some plates & forks so we could eat our 4 pizzas that we ordered. He refused to give me any plates not even 1. I was Shocked! What pizza place doesn't offer that for pick-up, cheap or struggling ones I guess. This was my first time trying this place out & so far my treatment has not been good. Now to the pizza, OMG I wish I stopped at "hello" when I called to order. The pizzas were complete Mush that we just started eating the toppings off aNd my daughter screamed she had a dust ball type hair under her cheese GROSS GROSS. She refused to eat any more. I understand things happen, but then when we lifted the cheese there was human hair also. DISGUSTING! I just had to call and I think I got the same rude guy & this time he told me he was the Manager. He was completely rude to me and stated that's impossible & he could careless! I explained the mush, but the hairball and human hair are unacceptable & disgusting. I'm sitting here with pizzas that no one will touch anymore, who would! The So called Manager hung up on me. Shocked Soo Shocked this time. Bottom line, these people do NOT care about customers & just take your money for crappy worst pizza ever!!! I'm most affected by the treatment like one of the reviewers stated below. On another nite I asked who the owner was & he stated he's at the bar & I wouldn't interrupt him for you! WoW! Hands down this place is disgusting all around. I will never be back to give my money & I hope you won't either!!!! read more

Horrendous Service! Horrendous Pizza! Biggest disappointment! Definitely stick with Lou Malnatis or Ginos, or any other place that cares about their customers!! -0 for this place! When I walked in take-out they were slicing Meatballs on a dirty white barrel that was upside down, ick and people were constantly walking past where thes food was being prepared! First off, who charges $1.50 per plate(cheapest thin paper plate)When you are spending over $50 on 2 pizzas..Aurelio's in Geneva does! Awful! We really wanted to enjoy this place & drove over 40 minutes to try a disgusting pizza..we ordered Hawaiian and there were whole slices of fatty ham & the pizza was total mush, gross! Management, Staff & Owner could careless of any issue, don't waste your time or money here. You definitely don't get what you pay for here. Too bad I can't get my money back for the pizza & travel to this place. I'm most upset about the disrespect I received and horrible treatment from the OWNER & Management!!! For more details feel free to private message me. Also did I mention hair(looked more like eyebrow or lashes)on my pizza that the owner could careless about, and when I asked for a Manager and the Owner came up & told me never to return. What!!! Horrified! I get things happen in a food service place but I thought the Owner should be aware & he could care-less!! Must be Newbie or Struggling business owners who lack customer service skills. I'm still shocked. I Will never return & I hope this review helps others. read more

It's not the original Homewood location, but I would say it's close. The pizza, as always, is delicious; my favorite bar none. I love the sauce and the cheese blend. It is a few $$ pricier than comparable places and all places make me crazy charging the same for sausage as for onions in terms of additional toppings. Still, the best pizza around. read more

I was very pleased with the pizza during my first visit, but was really disappointed the second time when the center dough of my pizza was raw. My first visit was so enjoyable, though, so I decided to give Aurelio's another shot about a month later. This time, I called to have 2 small pizzas delivered to my home, but was shocked to hear that the total bill was a whopping $38. I told the woman on the phone to cancel my order, but she offered to give me a coupon, so I went ahead and placed the order. When the delivery man came to my house he told me he could not give me the pizza at the discounted price unless I had the coupon in-hand. I explained that I was told the restaurant would provide me with the coupon, but the delivery man knew nothing about this arrangement. He called the manager, who insisted that I pay the $38. I told them they could take their pizza back. After further discussion with the manager, the delivery man told me that the manager would allow us to have the pizza with the discount, but only this time, and that they would not allow this to happen again. I felt like they were accusing me of trying to pull a fast one with the coupon story, and was appalled by the horrible customer service. I will never order from them again. To top it all off, the pizza was cold by time the issue was resolved. I will never order from Aurelio's again. There's way better, cheaper pizza in the area, with better customer service. I doubt they'll stay in business long. read more

I really like the pizza. I was just very disappointed with the carry out. I was on hold close to ten minutes then I guess I was putting them out to order their pizza. The attitude was bad enough that I just cancelled and went for Chinese. read more

We had the best family Christmas party ever at Aurelios in Geneva Il. There were 6 kids and 8 adults.The back room is perfect for a party with kids because they can run around and not bother other diners. Our server was Patrick and he had the patience of a saint. We had 2 combo apps, 4 addl apps, 2 lg pizzas, 4 pasta dishes, 3 desserts, plus drinks. The grand total was less than half that we paid at Salernos the year before. A pleasant surprise. read more

Just thinking of the pizza we had makes me sick. Still cant get the smell of the crust off my hands. The waiter oversold us on a extra large thin crust pizza. Even if we liked it, it was too much for 4 people. The sauce was worse than Chuckie Cheese. Bland and watery. The cheese was a mystery mix with every slice tasting different, but not in a good way. Both my daughters went to the rest room because they were sick. According to the manager, no one has ever complained, but yet I seen tons of complaints on line. Will not be back and would not recommend this place to anyone. We had good service, but then we were the 3rd group early afternoon. How anyone can screw up cheese and sauce is a mystery to me. read more

Did we go on a bad day? The pizza was greasy, crust not great, appetizers tasted old, and soda was flat. Too bad. I will say they are very friendly there so 3 stars, because it is hard to find that these days. We wanted to love it. So many seem to love this place. Just not my slice of pie I guess. read more

Great pizza! We are from NY and the thin crust rivals any pie from back home. The deep dish is also exceptional. The restaurant is usually very crowded and can be loud, which makes conversation difficult. Service is also inconsistent. read more

I order pizza every Friday. Large cheese and a spinach salad. This place is always busy. They need to have someone older managing the kids that handle the takeout window. I'm always waiting and they seem confused on how to ring up an order. Also more interested in talking to their fellow employees the food is great but only 4 stars because of the service. read more

Ordered this for the first time last night, and both my boyfriend and I were so disappointed. The food was not good. We had a peperoni pizza, fries, and mozzarella sticks. The pizza was edible, but nothing special. I didn't like that they used a mixture of cheddar cheese, cheddar just tasted weird on a peperoni pizza. The sauce kind of tasted like ketchup. The fries were HORRIBLE. Zero salt, and they tasted like nothing at all. The mozzarella sticks were eh, ok I guess. Also nothing special. Everything tasted like cheap frozen food. Overall a bad experience and will not order again. Simply not good tasting food. read more

Ordered numerous times, take out. Unfortunately the order is typically incorrect. Most recent order, a sandwich ordered was not included with pick up. Called to address the situation and was hung up on. CHECK YOUR ORDER with pick up. I would not recommend Geneva IL Aurelio's to anyone casual acquaintance, friend or family. Seriously-hung up on when they screwed up. My husband and I both worked for Aurelio's Indiana. I grew up with Aurelio's Homewood IL. Geneva-HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. read more

Kevin and Freddie really have it together! I can't get enough. There is something special about the flavor of the sauce. The mix of cheese that is used is unlike any you will find in the greater Chicago area. The atmosphere is that of a family that moves into the night life as the warm spring and summer nights allow the back bar and patio to be used for music and entertainment. The fact is they are busy and there is a following but people come to share a great time and they do great times and great food. I highly suggest this little piece of Geneva if your in the area. read more

I am not a big fan of this pizza. Partly because I don't care for the sweetness of their sauce, or their unique crust. I prefer a Rosati's or Papa Savario's type pizza. Besides the fact this isn't my type of thin crust what really annoyed be is I don't think they use the best ingredients. When we ordered mushrooms on our pizza they were obviously canned mushrooms, and the cheese is pretty meh as well. The restaurant itself I think is pretty cute for a pizza place. I might come here if I was looking for an eat in pizza place or have a party except I also thought the pizzas were priced on the high side. I am sure some people love the for lack of better way to explain it flakey crust and sweet sauce, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. read more

Fantastic Gluten Free pizza, where they miss the boat is they will not carry any Gluten Free beers. All comments to wait staff and managers seems to fall on deaf ears. The Addison location gets it, but that is a half hour drive. read more

First time here and we ordered an appetizer of calamari and a large sausage and mushroom pizza. Our server Andrew was both prompt and friendly and we got our drinks and appetizer rather quickly. The calamari was obviously from a frozen bag and looked more like onion rings but was still pretty tasty and not at all greasy like a lot of places tend to be. The marinara sauce was sweet and tangy but not overly acidic. The pizza arrived sooner then I thought and both the tomato sauce and the sausage had a sweet taste to it which is mentioned in several of the reviews here. Not overly sweet and not overly greasy. Big pluses! The cheese was tasty and the pizza had good flavor and seasoning and had a nice baked taste and appearance to it. It was a perfect relaxed weeknight on the back patio which is a little dark and could use some accent lightning by way of tea candles or something of the sort. We will defiantly be back again and hope to be waited on by Andrew again. read more

By far my favorite pizza place out here. They even deliever out to elburn! A little pricey but if cost isnt an issue for you then definitely well worth it read more

I do have to say the food was good. The cheese shaker was sticky and disgusting. Cheese would not come out. Colleen S. Did try to grab one off another table but she also thought it was disgusting. She left and came back with a cleaner one. Had to take the lid off. Very clumpy. The bus boy walked by us staring down our table every few minutes. He seemed to care. My suggestion would be to clean the place. read more

Aurelio's is a great restaurant with excellent food. Fast service and nice outside seating. Pizza was great.

Sister and brother in law ordered from here for delivery for the first time. I can't think of any pizza I've ever had that was better. It certainly puts all other delivered pizza to shame and certainly is on a par with the best restaurant fare. Too bad I don't live close enough to have it delivered but it's certainly good enough for me to drive the 10 miles to pick it up. read more

The food was delicious, servers were friendly and efficient and the atmosphere was great. We ordered several appetizers then had the thin crust pizza with tomatoes, spinach and onions. I overheard the host welcoming customers back who had just eaten there the night before! I highly recommend it! read more

We were first introduced to Aurelio's in Oak Brook Terrace. When that location closed we were very disappointed - however, we have been to the new location in Geneva and loved the place. The Super Six is our all time favorite - plus their salads are always very fresh. Since it is always crowded and sometimes a wait to get in, that is all a good indication that their pizza is delicious. Hopefully, some of the kinks will be worked out and they will remain a longtime Geneva establishment. read more

Thin crust with candian bacon and pineapple...YUM! Very suprised by how good the pizza was.

Went there for lunch. The pizza was GREAT! Service was very good. Very friendly! Great place to take the family. I will be back very soon! Mike M. read more

This is a first time for us at this location. We were pleasantly surprised at the atmosphere created. They have a wonderful outdoor seating area. We sat inside this time but next time we will definitely sit outside and enjoy the weather. We were seating quickly in a booth which we found go be very comfortable. What we found to be very unusual was the service. It was not up to the standard which the Addison Aurelios has set. The waitress was definitely off of her game. At one point when my PIC asked for a refill on her water the waitress rolled her eyes. That will not happen at the Addison Aurelios. Onto the food. We originally ordered Cream of Chicken Rice and after about five minutes were told they were out of it. We agreed to the minestrone which was good but not great. We also had the antipasto salad which was very good. The vegetables were crisp and cold. The dressing was missing something just didn't have the bite were use too I guess. The pizza showed up and was hot and baked as ordered. The pizza was very good but again not up to the Addison standard. I believe our overall experience was good. We will come back and try another server. read more

This was not only the worst experience I have had with pizza in the greater Chicago area, but the worst experience in any part of the country. First, the dinner was horribly overpriced: 2 15" thin crust pizzas + 2 salads = $71 ?!?!? Second, the service was ridiculously slow. We ordered the pizza at 6:09pm from the Geneva location asking for delivery in St. Charles. The time initially given was an hour. Alright, it's a Friday night, they're probably busy. At 7:30pm we still had not seen the delivery man and called. They had absolutely no clue about my order and claimed it was taking a long time because we changed the order...not the case. They obviously forgot our order then proceeded to blame it on the delivery driver. Over two hours after our initial call our pizzas and salads finally arrived. Aurelio's did not even suggest a discount let alone admitting their mistake. This is something I feel strong about: if you mess something up own up to it and maybe hook me up. Even if you don't hook me up, admit your mistake. Third, when we finally got the order the food was nothing better than average. Don't waste your time here. Go somewhere else. read more

My husband took my son and daughter out for pizza last night. The service was horrible. They brought my kids spoiled milk and the waiter actually argued with my husband that it was fine. It wasn't. The waiter finally exchanged it in the end, but still charged my husband for the spoiled milk. He ordered 2 pizzas, one gluten free and one regular. The regular pizza came and no gluten free one. When my husband inquired about it, the waiter went back and checked. A few minutes later he came back and said that the gluten free one had burnt and they were remaking it. So, my 6 year old, with a wheat allergy, got to watch my husband and daughter eat dinner while he tried to patiently wait for his food. About the time my husband and daughter finished, they brought my son's pizza. The pizza tasted good, but the service was awful, and the fact that they charged for spoiled milk and that the pizzas were not ready at the same time caused the 1 star rating. read more
