I have been GF for over 7 years now and I have had a LOT of gluten free pizza. I've NEVER had one as GOOD as Aurelio's!!! My husband (who despises all things gluten free) told me that this is the first pizza he has ever tasted that he couldn't tell was GF! That's a HIGH compliment, coming from him. Not only was it thick and delicious, but they had a small AND a medium size!!!!! (Usually you can only get a small). Highly recommend them! Will definitely come again! read more

Been here a number of times over the years, and we can say they still make a good thin crust pizza. The dining room seems a bit outdated ... in fact, it doesn't seem like they have invested in the interior in 20 years. The place is not run down, but it is dated. Maybe they are just holding on to the corner lot where they have a prime location. The dining room only had a few people in it, and thus the service was good. They don't seem to do the business they used to, but even with that it's hard to beat a pizza served fresh to your table off the oven. The house Chianti was very nice and priced the same. While we prefer the much larger Homewood original location, this place can stand in in a pinch. read more

The parking can be tricky if you are coming South on Oak Park Ave so be aware. It's a smaller version of the classic same menu just on a smaller scale they have seating for families and a Bar area very casual and welcoming. My husband ordered the pizza he got a thick crust I would advise against the the ratio of topping to crust not even close go with the classic thin crust. We were sat quickly and it took no time for our waitress to take our drink order all and all a good experience read more

Was super excited to try this after a glowing recommendation but thought it was just mediocre. Oddly enough we were the only ones in the restaurant besides for a small family after 6PM on a Thursday which I thought was weird for a huge restaurant. The food came out pretty quickly and we tried tavern style pizza. Crust was good, sauce was super super sweet which wasn't for me but was okay overall. Not overly expensive and good serving size. Just thought ambiance was off and pizza was just okay. read more

We held a surprise 50th wedding anniversary party at Aurelio's in Tinley Park for my sister and brother-in-law. I can't say enough about the place. Leo (one of the owners) was amazing at working with us on short notice to have all the arrangements in place. He let us come in a couple hours early to decorate the party room. All of the staff were fantastic! (Especially Marlene, she even came outside and helped us unload the decorations from the cars!) The pizza, salad, and dressings were great. We had one guest who was gluten free and Leo even included that with our package. Everyone there commented on what a great party it was and a few stated that it was literally the BEST veggie pizza that they ever had. There is no doubt that our family, and/or one of our guests, will hold another party there in the future. Thank you to Aurelio's of Tinley Park! read more

Wasn't going to say anything but this just doesn't sit right with me. We've gone here for the lunch buffet plenty of times never had any issues with the food. When Covid happened they shut down the buffet bringing it back post Covid. Here's the issue, ONE DRINK ONLY with your buffet purchase, then you pay for additional drinks! Seriously Aurelio's? That is absolutely ridiculous! read more

Went there recently for their SINGO night. The woman running the SINGO event was so fun .. this was the perfect person for this event. The pizza was great also and service was good too. read more

This was our first time here. I met my mother for lunch. We had the fried ravioli appetizer, thin crust pizza, and cannoli. Everything was good but the star of the meal was definitely the pizza. Extra credit for having roasted red peppers as a topping option. Most places do not have that and that's a shame. The dining room was very nice. I'm not sure how old this place is but it looked either new or recently remodeled. The mens room was nice and clean as well. Our server was very sweet and attentive. My mother and I were both very impressed by the whole experience, especially the pizza. I am puzzled by the bad reviews and especially by the guy who said "the pizzas are overloaded with cheese." What planet are you from? There's no such thing as too much cheese on a pizza where I come from. Would recommend, will definitely return. read more

Stopped for buffet today. Food was too well done. Nothing was really good. The restaurant had a horrible smell. Very disappointing.

Ordered during Super Bowl. Got a sausage pizza. Ya know as a pizza connoisseur as myself I'm lookin for a few things in my pizza but one of the most important thing is a nice crispy crust. This pizza was all flop. All the way to the edges was flop. Would not recommend. read more

My husband and I went to Aurelio's on Sunday April 13th on 159th and Oak Park in Tinley, I had reward points I wanted to use. To our surprise they had Happy Hour, the Martinis were very good and tasty. Our server Jessica was very attentive, sweet and made good suggestions. The owner came and asked how everything was which was nice. Our pizza was thin crust sausage and onion, it was delicious also. We sat in the bar, very relaxing, nice to have conversation. They also have slot machines in there. It was clean and updated. We will definitely be back soon. read more

We came in today as a group, looking forward to having pizza and a drink. When we walked in we were barely greeted and the greeter just started walking us to the table. Once we sat down, we asked for a drink menu as it was 12:45. She said "I'm not making any drinks right now" as if we could not order a drink at all. When we asked why, she said that they were short staffed but the said " I'll start making them at 1 pm when someone comes in". I don't understand why she just didn't say this in the first place. Then when we were ordering, we felt rushed. There were no flavors for the margaritas, as that should have been said at the time of ordering. Her attitude and demeanor is why we walked out and left. People have bad days sometimes or are just not in the mood, but you separate personal from work when you are at work. We weren't even going to tip her at the end honestly because she was giving attitude and we did nothing. We were nervous because it said 3 stars on there, and we see why. read more

Wow. Not sure what the negative reviews are about this place. Warm, clean, inviting dining area. Great service, solid salad and calamari. Pizza may not be quite as good as the Homewood mothership, but still delicious. Will definitely go back when in the area. read more

I'm a pizza snob because of Aurelio's. First experienced in the Homewood flagship restaurant many years ago. Whenever I'm back in Chicago, it is a must-have for me and I eat Keto. The sauce is the secret which is a bit sweater than most, and a delicate crispy thin crust. The 'super six' can't be beat. Just had some this weekend at a family gathering which I believe came from the Tinley Park store. We'll done once again Aurelio's, never a disappointment. read more

See all

T and I stopped here and the way to a concert. We had very low expectations since we didn't like the one in the South Loop. We were pleasantly surprised by the pizza. Not really either of our styles for pie, but nonetheless, we enjoyed it, and did not regret our stop. Crust was a bit soft for my taste and I'm more of a fan of extras on top of the cheese, but the sauce was good, flavor was good, and we enjoyed our server. Boneless chicken tenders will be a pass in the future for me. Really salty and they use the soybean oil, corn syrup based dressings to serve with. Really not a fan at all. Good pints at 4.50 we're a real bonus. I'll stop back again. read more

Aurelio's Pizza - Tinley Park - Solid pie. Happy we stopped in in the way to The concert :) - Pizza Near Me - Tinley Park, Illinois

There is nothing good to say about this pizza. Definitely not the original recipe of the past. The crust is burnt cardboard. The sauce is basically just tomato paste. I guess we could say that the sausage topping was decent. Will never order from here again, probably the worst pizzas we ever had. read more

Service was delayed and just ok. Waited a long time for cold take out pizza. The girl was sweet.

That pizza looks worse then the one I got and mine was horrible! What more can I say, it went right into garbage. Never bothered to call and complain. read more

I'm 52 years old and have been enjoying your pizza my whole life starting with the original Homewood location. The Tinley Park location has not had quality pizza in a long time. The pizza is usually soggy and overloaded with cheese. Do better read more

Pizza was okay, I would go again in a pinch. Last pizza I ordered from this location was a bit overcooked, but it was decent.

Just placed an order with this establishment. The pizza is absolutely disgusting! Iv had pizza from this establishment one other time and it was NOTHING like this. This pizza looked like it had melted store bought cheddar on top and was even partially burned! We tossed the whole thing! What a waste of $50! How disappointing. read more

(+) Very good thin crust pizza Friendly service Fair pricing (-) Too much "chit chat" between the servers. Need to pay attention to customers, especially when drinks need to be replenished. (additional note) The "busser" was very attentive and friendly. We found it necessary to pass on an additional tip to him. read more

Went to Aurelio's, Tinley Park today (7/9/2025) for their advertised lunch buffet. It was a disaster! When one goes to an Italian restaurant for a lunch buffet, one expects to see pizza, some pasta dish, Italian beef, sausage/peppers, fried chicken, meatballs, french fries and minestrone soup. Not here! Other than having pizza and some overcooked spaghetti, the entire remainder of the buffet consisted of (get this!), plain steamed vegetables, plain rice with vegetables, swai fish (who goes anywhere for swai fish?), chicken fajitas and chicken tortilla soup with sour cream and salsa. That's all! Many of the offerings were Mexican food in an Italian restaurant. Completely unacceptable and ridiculous. Owners/management should be ashamed of themselves. What a disgrace. All for $13.99/person plus drink! Never again. This used to be a respected Chicago pizza restaurant name, no longer. What a shame. read more

I have been ordering for years. The last 3 times the pizza had hardly any cheese on it and was ice cold when delivered. If you are going to charge dam near 40$ for a pizza and put nothing on it I will take my business elsewhere. Another case of shrinkage and raising the prices. read more

Phenomenal. I have been committed to this Aurelio's for over 20 years. It has brought my family and I immense joy. I respect all the hardworking staff, because they truly put in so much effort to everyone's desired orders. From their cheese curds to their delicious fiesta pizzas, it's all out of this world. I give huge respects to the new management on keeping the Aurelio's tradition alive. read more

Service was fabulous! Meatballs were the best I've ever eaten and the sauce is outstanding!! Honestly, go and have the meatballs!!! Got lucky and sat at the table in front of the fireplace. read more

A great pizza. Thin crust and cheesey. Cooked perfectly done. Great pick up window. Ordered it to go.

Walking in at 7pm on a Friday night and not a single person in the restaurant or bar area was not a good indicator. With being the only group there it took 25 mins to bring the appetizer out. 3 kids meals, a small pizza and a bowl of fettuccine took about 45 mins to come out. I can't imagine how long it would've been if the place was full. The place hasn't been updated in a looooonnng time and feels dirty. Even with only one table the waitress was hardly around it still took 10 mins for her to come get the bill. A taco pizza should not have cold shredded cheese on it. Put it in the oven, it's a pizza. Once and done. read more

I had a large group of 28 to feed, from the initial call to Tom thru closing out the bill with the waiter, the whole process was smooth and easy! Tom gave me the options, followed up with me during the week, explained everything I needed to know and greeted me when we arrived. The food was hot, delicious and frankly more than we could eat. The room was spacious and clean! I would come back and do it again. Thank you Tom and your team-the waiter was so pleasant and kind! read more

The gentleman at the door was very friendly. He came by the table a few times. I think he was a manager of some sort. This was our first time here. My fiancé and I actually wanted the buffet, which we thought was tonight. We found out, they don't have the buffet on Thursday. We decided to stay and ordered a large thick crust sausage pizza. The pizza is kind of pricey compared to most places we go to ($25), we did save $4 because pizza was on sale today. I did like the cheese and toppings. Crust was also very good, had a beer like taste. We also ordered the appetizer combo. The combo was bbq wings, ravioli, and onion rings ($12.95). I would not get that again. Waitress Nikki was very friendly. They had March Madness on which was a huge plus. read more

Food was amazing and pretty tasty. Pricey for what you get and extremely greasy. Service was adequate and timely. The ambiance and atmosphere was unique. The baby pictures was an iconic piece of the restaurant but a little odd. Still good food nonetheless. 8/10 read more

Britney was so nice and the manager did an amazing job she definitely outdid her self !!.. The soup and Bosco sticks are amazing for appetizers.. and the pizzas is amazing .. over all 10/10 . read more

I owe an apology to the manager Tom and a huge apology to the great teenagers working the carryout side of this restaurant. Tom you are not an asshole, you are a coward. To question and accuse customers of wrongdoings when it's clearly a mistake made by your cooks (ordered meatball on my pizza, got pepperoni) is just wrong and not a good look for management. Then to not even come out from the back and address me (or heaven forbid to apologize) to make the poor kid do your bidding, that's a coward. I've been coming here over 20 yrs and the quality declines little by little but I kept coming in remembrance of what it used to be. Not anymore. read more

Had a 80 th birthday party for immediate family Everything was very nice ,food , service. It was perfect Small room on the side ambiance was just right! read more

Price is outrageous for flour cheese and sauce. And sausage. My bill was $79 for a large pizza with sausage with boneless wings that you get seven. Only. With a 2 L. I remember the owner,of Homewood always said he made pizza for people to enjoy at a low cost, and people always came back. That was his motto . Now the owner is passed away they make pizza for only profit. The ingredients haven't changed since 1972. it's time to show these big businesses who support them and keep them in business. I am boycotting them and tell everybody how expensive they are. Pigs get fatter, hogs get slaughtered. read more

Consistantly good pizza, Above average in taste and quality Delivery available as well as carry out read more

Their service was very bad. I don't recommend the chicken Alfredo. We had a hair in our food. Waiter said they didn't have any big plates when we can see them right in front of us. We asked to see manger and he took more than 5 minutes to get to our table. then we asked to speak to the owner and the owner never came to our table. I do not recommend this place. read more

Busy weekend, decided on pizza. Called Aurelios in Tinley. Twenty minutes later, having delicious pizza. It's the sauce, the spices and the generous cheese. We also ordered a side salad with house dressing. The sign on the door said: slices $4.95, and I'm planning on a slice and salad once a week. (I did not order this time, but the marinated spinach is delicious.) read more

The pizza was good, the antipasto salad is not like Homewood Aurelios at all, it was missing the red peppers and very little green and black olives and also the ham and pepperoni and cheese was very lite. The deep fried appetizer was ok, marinara and ranch dressing were good. The prices are all on the high side so the quality and quantity should be there. I hope Joe is listening! read more

Great food and service. Very friendly atmosphere. Need to keep writing for eighty five characters.
