    We went on a Friday night and were immediately seated. The restaurant was clean, the service was prompt and the food was decent. For some reason, the pizza didn't have the "typical" Aurelios taste though. This was my first time at the Mokena location, but the Homewood is much better. Even the Tinley Park location has the "typical" Aurelios taste though. Not sure how to describe this pizza...it wasn't bad, just not what I expected given the other locations.

    Having heard Aurelio's commercials during Chicago Blackhawks games, but having never been to one, I finally went in! I happened to be passing by the pizzeria, saw it out the car window, and knew I had to take the chance to try it. Kathy, the bartender and server, was so very professional, polite, and friendly. And by luck, I happen to have the opportunity to meet Jay, the owner, and I must say every bit the same about him. Aurelio's Pizza was everything you'd expect of an old-school neighborhood, family-style pizzeria. The decor was warm wood tones, comfortable, pleasing, lots of red, and tons of Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago White Sox memorabilia. The dining room was spotlessly clean, as was the men's bathroom. I ordered a personal size cheese pizza, just something to satisfy my urge to taste this famous Pizzeria, and something to fit my very modest budget. A little over $7 fit the bill, and the pizza filled my belly! The handmade crust had the perfect imperfect shape, wonderful colors, delicious and natural and fresh taste. The crust had the perfect balance of crunchiness, chewiness, and weight. The sauce and cheese on top matched, wonderful colors, incredible texture and a memorable, delicious taste, and not one drop of excess grease. It was so beautiful when it arrived on my plate that I didn't even want to eat it, but I had to! What a great experience in a great lunch! I will be back! Aurelio's Pizzeria is easily visible from the road, has ample parking, excellent customer service, reasonable prices.

    Seventy minute wait for pickup when they said 25 minutes. It's awkward waiting in the tiny waiting area.

I bank in the corner, and have shopped and at in this plaza for decades, and some, just haven't SEEN it! I was in the mood for an Italian beef sandwich, and what I got was delicious - the bread it was served on was especially good: soft, with a brush of butter on top - yumm! But the reason for my review: The FRIES were AMAZING! Fries are not the most wholesome food you can get, so when I eat them, I want them to be WORTH IT! These OH-SO-WERE! Hot, crispy outside, soft inside (a "full" fry - smaller than steak fries, bigger than what McD's serves) with just a hint of salt. PERFECT!! The portion was large enough that I ate them all the way home, with my RC cola (what nostalgia!), and still had some left when I got there for my sandwich! Now I'm gonna have to go back to try their pizza, and the soups others rave about, and the desserts that look scrumptious! Fast, friendly, accurate service, with great food - what more can you ask for?!

When I got back to work 1 of the 20" pizzas must've been so hot & got tipped putting it in their warmer that all the toppings slid off the pizza into the back corner of the box. This pizza was just tossed in garbage. I wasn't going to use my hands to slide the mess back on & expect my coworkers to eat it. It would've looked awful anyway after sliding off. Jalapeño poppers & potato skins were both decent. Bill was over $120 for 3 large pizzas & 2 sides which is way high.

    OPP is located in the old Durbin's Pizza - but WAY BETTER!!…read moreThe service is phenomenal, from the minute we stepped foot in the door. The owner Brad welcomed us with a hearty hello, like we'd been there every Friday night since opening. If you're a fan of the 80's the decor will be right up your alley and the same with the music; a nice Mix of 80's thru early 2000's. My husband ordered a New England IPA on special and described it as an imperial IPA that it will f you up with its 8.8 apv. I was very happy to hear the salads are made with romaine and not that spring mix everyone is using these days. So we started our meal the BLT salad. Very tasty and a nice light start to the meal. Next up was pizza. The thinnest of thin and crispy crust. The sauce was a very nice blend. Tomatoe sauce and herbs were not over powering and in my opinion not too sweet. A good balance of cheese, toppings and sauce. Not so much sauce that it oozes out with every bite. They were very careful with the toppings and keeping them on the respective halves. The menu also has sandwiches the sound delicious and I can't wait to come back and try some. I hope they stay in business for many years to come.

I am always glad to be able to support a small business and from the brief interaction I had, I can tell the owners care about their customers and serving the community. If you are looking for a laid back joint with friendly people, good beer and excellent pizza - give them a try! You won't regret it.

I know it'll be there by my next visit, which will be soon. A seller for me is homemade pasta with an option for gluten free. If it was organic it's a hard 5. No judgement though. Frankie's is the spot where you park up by 3:45/3:50 and wait for the doors to open as their hours are short, hot and sweet. This is a tucked away spot packing tons of flavor on the small menu(major hit). Locals pack this spot asap at the bar so be there by 3:45. Haha. The restaurant has nice decor and attentive friendly service. As the server comes to the table with heavy greetings, they run down the special menu. Drinks are always good, nothing intricate but enough to elevate the experience and hit hard. The appetizers are good. I enjoyed the calamari and shrimp as well as the octopus. But now to the star of the show is their pastas. FRIENDLY REMINDER, all are homemade. The Pappardelle w/ Wide Ribbon Pasta, Black Truffle Cream Sauce and Mushrooms is amazing.. I added the gluten free meatballs and yummy. A savory bite. The rigatoni vodka sauce(added sausage) was a hit. Another star of the table was the Linguine w/ Shrimp,Broccoli, Evoo and Garlic. A fully loaded plate. The Gnocchi w/ Ricotta Cheese Filling, vodka sauce.. added meatballs was another hit. The star of the show was our pizza which resembles a meat lovers with pepperoni, Sopressata and Giardiniera (which is more like a relish and I love). I've had other dishes but after multiple countless visits this is what I love at this time. The pizza is cooked in a high heat oven which gives the perfect char, let it settle for a couple minutes as it sits on the table. Overall, when in this part of Illinois hands down the place to be. Hours are only 4-9pm and that says a lot. My only insight would be ask for the bread to be served warm. I'm sure a fresh loaf in the pizza oven for a couple of minutes will go a long way. ENJOY!

We took my mother in law there last night (6/12/26) for her birthday, as it is one of her favorite pizza places. Two people in our party of 8 ordered fountain soda, and both commented that they were very flat with little to no carbonation. After they each took a couple sips, we mentioned it to our waitress, who was very kind and apologetic. She offered to get them a different fountain beverage, but advised that it would be from the same machine as they have only have one fountain machine in the restaurant. As expected, these beverages were also flat. We explained to our waitress, who again, was very apologetic. When we received the bill, we were surprised to see that we were charged $9 ($4.50 per beverage) for beverages that were unsatisfactory. When we mentioned our disappointment to the waitress, she indicated that she would have to check with her boss to see if she could remove the charge. After a few minutes, our waitress came back and said that she could not remove the charge, per her boss. According to her "boss", nobody else complained about the fountain machine, so therefore she won't remove the charge. In other words, since nobody else complained, we must be lying. So much for "the customer is always right". It's not as if we ate our entire meals and then tried to send it back stating that the food was bad. Also, we had a party of 8 so our bill wasn't exactly small to where we were that concerned about the $9. At this point, it's about so much more than that. Fox's on Wolf clearly does not prioritize customer satisfaction. With so many great pizza options in the area, there's no reason to support a business that fails to value its customers. I would recommend taking your business elsewhere.
