As far as pizza goes. Hands down the worst I've ever had. The Thin crust pizza was spongy and lacking cheese. My wife asked me if we were eating frozen pizza. I told her its not digiornos its Aurelio's. Pizza was also not cut all the way through. I asked for pie cut and got traditional. I've had better frozen pizza's. read more

I am so disappointed.I was a big supporter of the Oakbrook Terrace and Addison Aurelios for many years. I was so happy to see they were building one in Winfield.This pizza didn't even taste like the other franchises. The top was burnt the bottom was under cooked and saggy and the ingredients were cut small and barely there. A good pizza maker knows how much sauce to put on without drowning the pizza in sauce. Honestly to pay $30 for a thin crust family size that taste worst than Pizza Hut was disappointing. I don't want to give up on them. I know they always carried good salad's and maybe their pastas are better. Maybe the kitchen just can't handle a busy night but something needs to be changed maybe then need to retrain the kitchen staff that make the pizzas because what they're selling-is a name that means quality pizza.They Shamed the name tonight .Aurelio's pizza is not this. read more

Finally able to review as my experience was from about two weeks ago. I called in an order for 2 pizzas and wings. I picked them up and when I got home the order was wrong. This was irritating as I could have easily have just flipped the box up at the restaurant before I left, but mistakes happen. So I drove back and spoke with the person at the take out who said that orders got crossed and my food went to another person inadvertently. They were quick to make my new pizza and also replace the wings. While the pizza was made correctly this time, the crust was mushy and not cut all the way thru. It was under cooked and inedible when it was warmed up. Definitely had better experiences at the Addison location. The wings were good tho.... read more

Ordered a caesar salad to go and they didnt provide the dressing, or the bread that comes with the salad. My husband ordered a pizza with "very easy cheese, hardly any cheese" and it comes loaded with cheese. This location has failed us too many times, will not be returning. read more

Very good, delicious pizza and a nice friendly place to dine-in, also. BUT, I wish they were open later for pizza delivery. Many times have to order elsewhere, even on weekends. Closing a pizza joint at 10PM on a Friday or Saturday night?? Staying open later would be the 5th star for me. read more

Not even worth it. Please dont bother. Which really sucks because we like having a new place to go. This was our second time here. This 1st was when they just opened. Wasnt a great experience. Staff not trained and food not great. So we waited months to try again. We try not to give up. However, felt exactly like the first time. Which will definitely be our last. Sorry....thanks though. Save your time and money. read more

Every bit as good as the Addison location which is my benchmark (Lombard is terrible). Pizza was 100% on point

This is pizza I grew up on! I'm very excited an Aurelio's opened up in my neck of the woods. I'd been driving to the Addison location for carry out for years because it's so good! I have never been disappointed with their pizza. read more

This was the best pizza since the old OakBrook Terrace Aurelio's . We ordered a large Cheese and Sausage extra sauce and crispy crust! It was scrumptious! Great sausage the crust perfectly crisp the extra sauce oozed out from every bite... the gluten free pizza was fabulous too! Their anti pasta salad is excellent using the house dressing get extra olives ... It was so nostalgic the tastes sent us back thirty five years ago when we went every Friday and had every birthday anniversary and graduation party at the old Aurelio's the only thing missing was the scary Mickey Mouse Guess where we will be next weekend Thanks for a great family restaurant ! read more

Awesome! Had my kids Grad party here this weekend and it was great! Lou and his staff were attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed! Food was excellent, service was better! read more

I went there shortly after they opened. The bartender and the bar manager were attentive and friendly. The food was brought out fast and hot, the pizza was very good. Good atmosphere in the bar area. Plenty of Televisions for watching the games or the food network if that's your thing. I'll definitely go back. read more

Ordered large Pizza tasted good but crust was so thin in middle that you had to fold it to eat it. It seemed like it wasn't cooked all the way because the crust was real soft. We also asked for it to be cooked longer when we ordered. Last couple times we were there pizzas were perfectly done and delicious. Great turnaround read more

winfield pizza was horrible. Been going to Aurelios for decades. Now they use cheddar, mozz amd some other cheese mix, and its disgusting. Who wants to eat a bitter pizza. Tastes even worse cols, i tried, and then just threw it away. Born amd raised on Chicago pizza, been eating for 50 years, and the first pizza that is truly inedible. Yuuk read more

Got a coupon in the mail for the Aurelio in Winfield and thought we'd give the pizza try. We were all disappointed in the sauce. It had an unusual taste for pizza sauce. Hard to describe but it was different. My wife thought it leaned on the sweet side. The pizza wasn't cooked evenly. Half of it was Ok, the other half a little too crunchy. Not sure we'll go back here for pizza. Also they are a little pricey. We bought an 18" pizza and they were $5 above the local competitor. read more

Thank You Aurelio's Pizza Winfield Il! We hosted a surprise 60th birthday party in your dining room and it was a huge success !! Thank you Tyler, Allie, Jacob, Carlos, Charlie and everyone else that made the night go off without a hitch!! read more

See all

Better than Maggiano's! OK - Maggiano's doesn't make pizza (do they?) but they do make Chicken Parmesan and the Chicken Parmesan at this Aurelio's was better than Maggiano's and 100x better than the exact same meal at the Geneva Aurelio's. I asked them to serve it with Sauteed Spinach instead of Pasta and they were happy to do so, even brought out the owner and chef to double check exactly what I asked for in advance and it was fantastic. My wife and daughter enjoyed their pizza and we all liked the calamari, as well. As for the rest of the experience, it's a new restaurant and they are clearly still 'gelling' and learning to work together as a team. The evening took longer than it should have but our server was nice, still getting to know the menu, clarified a few questions to make sure that she got it right - which was much better than being afraid to confirm or just not caring and getting it wrong (which so many servers do). Ultimately the fact that the owner, server, and even the chef cared and took the time to get the dinner right along with the great Chicken Parmesan (and pizza) caused me to sit down and write this review - which I rarely do. ***We'll be back to support a local business and recommend you do as well! I noticed a few negative reviews here and encourage people to give new businesses owners a break - it's a huge risk and challenge to open a business, hire a team, get things running the way they need to be to keep customers coming back and, ultimately, survive - especially with social media causing a single bad experience to be permanently etched in stone. Cheers to the Aurelio's team. read more

I would like to start off by saying that this place is a complete disaster, starting off with the tall skinny old manager with glasses that thinks he's the owner, word around town is that he was handling a pizza and a piece fell off to the floor and he put it back on the tray and still served it like that. (that's so gross dude) And the midget manager has a horrible attitude and horrible hygiene. He has dandruff from his beard all over his shirt smh. The pizza was good but there's a lot of stuff you need to fix starting with that tall skinny manager. Fix it or get out of town. read more

Not bad. Very loud inside the restaurant side. Seems like they want to be a loud bar. Won't do the drive just so we can yell at each other over the loud music and other patrons talking loud. read more

I love Aurelio's Pizza. I've had Aurelio's Pizza in OakBrook, Naperville, and Geneva. I was so excited when they opened in Winfield. But the pizza being disguised as Aurelio's pizza in Winfield is not the Aurelio's pizza I've enjoyed in other locations. The "thin-crust" pizza is thick and mushy; there is an over-abundance of cheese (yes, there *is* such a thing;) and overall it lacks any flavor whatsover. Maybe that's what all the cheese is supposed to disguise. First time, I thought OK, maybe it's a bad night; we'll give them another chance. But after the second experience this past weekend when the pizza was equally as bad, I'm done. I'll drive to Geneva instead. read more

Aurelio's Pizza isn't just another pizza place in the area, it's unique flavor and obvious high quality ingredients makes it special. The staff at the Winfield location is as outstanding as the pizza itself. Treat yourself soon! I'll be back often! read more

Aurelio's Pizza - Tell me this doesn't look good! - Italian Near Me - Winfield, Illinois

Under-cooked, doughy mess. I grew up by the original in Homewood, so I know what this pizza should be like. I was so excited to get an Aurelio's close by, but I won't be back. I talked to Tyler last time I got an under-cooked pizza. He said to tell them to cook it more the next time I ordered. So I did and it was better. I forgot to tell them to cook the pizzas yesterday and I got $68 in under-cooked pizzas that I had to fry on a griddle when I got home. Folks this is usually good pizza, so try another Aurelio's. I am done with this one. And BTW- the reviewer that got the wrong dish chicken parmesan should have received a free replacement, not assurances it would be better next time. My experience is that it will not. read more

Huge disappointment. Thank goodness Joe Aurelio passed away years ago so he doesn't have to see the embarrassment of the horrible service and pizza produced at this location. The phone staff are untrained millennials who act as if you are bothering them and interrupting their evening of posting selfies on SnapChat. The delivery driver is rude and after waiting nearly 90 minutes for my pizza delivery, on a slow Thursday evening, he delivered the wrong pizza. When he returned with the correct pizza it was cold and he threw my payment back in my face adding insult to injury. TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSE WHERE, Gianorio's, Maciano's or Lou Malnati's...Tell them Joe sent you! read more

Best pizza in Chicago, I've had Aurelios since the '70s and no one makes a better thin crust period. Very nice job on the remodel this location is great and close by, finally! Thanks Joe Jr., Ray and Tim!!! read more

NASTY NASTY NASTY!!!! I ordered for the first time me and my husband it was ice cold and the cheese slid from one side to the other during transportation. So I called they sent out another one and it was even worse. It was like they took it out of a freezer and sent it to my house like that and tasted like vomit!!!! Never again will I ever order from this place!!! TERRIBLE. IF I COULD GIVE IT 0 STARS I WOULD! read more

Worst bar service I've ever seen. All rookies without experience. Sit down at bar and bartender walks by a few times without making eye contact. Can't comment on table service but bar needs somebody who knows what they're doing and can train the others. A frustrating experience. read more

First of all the guy that helped us with a beard was one of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. Super nice guy and very informative. Unfortunately he's working in a place where the pizza is very very mediocre for some reason they put the pizza on a cooling rack when they serve it instead of directly on the aluminum pan. Not sure where the last pic is in that I would think you'd want a piece of this stay hot as long as possible. However that's not the real problem. The crust is like chewy white bread. The sauce has no flavor I didn't see any oregano or other spices at all. Lots of mozzarella cheese. The sausage was in really small pieces about the size of a dime or nickel it was obviously pre-cooked Italian sausage it lacked flavor. I don't understand one piece of places don't put raw sausage on top and when they bake the pizza the juice from the sausage drips onto the cheese. That's flavor. read more

My friends and I visited this place over a week ago and let me tell you, it is definitely the best place that I had ever been to! just perfect. The ambiance of this place is immaculate, the settings and all are just so neat and neutral. The vibes are really on point and it really did change y mood up. The visual of their place was quite awesome, especially the inside. It is clean, neat, tidy, well organized, proper, decent, and bright. It really gives off the best hang-out vibes. We ordered their Classic pizza, Buffalo wings, and pasta. All of those are large and doubled and it really didn't disappoint. Really worth the money and satisfy our cravings. Would really recommend all of those for you to try. Their pizza is stuffed and the cheese is just immaculate, the crust is perfect and the sauce is well seasoned. Everything is well cooked! I really loved it. Definitely would like to go here again for another time! thank you for the wonderful experience and neat service. Staffs were friendly, polite, kind professional, and cooperative. Keep up the good work! Thank you! Your staff really made my experience much better and more unforgettable. read more

This was our first time at this location, and we got take-out pizza. It was not quite as good as Addison's, but we'll try again. The place has a full bar and plenty of room to eat in, but it is very, very noisy. Concrete floor, industrial ceiling, all of which makes the noise just deafening! Also, seats are not comfortable. Very modern looking, which I'm not sure goes with the menu. Anyway, we'll try their pizza again, and maybe go at a less busy time. read more

Great Pizza and awesome place to watch some football. Full stocked bar and the bartender was great.

We ordered for the first time yesterday and I gotta say I wasn't impressed. It's an average pizza nothing special about it. The delivery time was an 1 hour 25 minutes so if you do order from here you'll be waiting. Overall not horrible but I've had better. read more

First I have to say I'm team Aurelio's! I've been eating there pizza for 30 years. As a kid our family were regulars at the old oak brook terrace location. (Before it moved, and became a carry out only). Having grew up in Addison, I was a regular at that location as well. I've had the Wheaton location to go on 3-4 occasions, over its ok. Few issues I've had, pizza was typical Aurelio's it was dry on 2 occasions. One time when ordering they couldn't get our order right and we're out of the signature Aurelio's breadsticks. Overall I hope things come together for this location, it's close to home and like I said I'm team Aure! read more

Was thrilled when we saw there was an Aurelio's closer to home. Ordered small cheese pizza and small taco pizza. Simple right? The cheese pizza was burnt and could not eat it. I took one bite and it didn't even taste like Aurelio's pizza that I have come to love. The taco pizza was ok but asked for sour cream and jalapeños on the side, but while we were charged for the extras, they were not in the bag. Unfortunately, we will not go back. read more

While it will never be the flagship Homewood location, it is still the best pizza around. We were there opening weekend so of course the staff was still getting their act together but their attitudes and helpfulness shined through. I am confident they have smoothed out any kinks and we look forward to going again soon. Really nice looking bar area and nice party space as well. read more

Service was good, the food a little over priced especially the pizza which sub par for a place that considers itself a pizza joint.

I had a large three topping thin crust. I would expect it to be a lot better for $28.00. The sauce is a little strange, but $28.00! I believe I'll be going elsewhere. Oh and the store layout be the pickup window is really funky. read more

Very very disappointed. I've been a huge fan of Aurelios pizza since I was a kid and we went as a family to the original in Homewood. I've done carry out from the Geneva location before and never had a bad pie or experience. Decided to go into the restaurant to eat Saturday. First we called to see if we needed a reservation and was told no. I also asked if the patio seating was open and was told no. We get there and sure enough there were people seated outside. We opted for inside anyway. It was not busy at all we were seated immediately at the high top tables over in the small bar section. There were only 4 guests seated at the bar. There were 2 people behind the bar one guy worker server manager not sure which standing at the bar 10' away watching tv almost the entire time. several servers passing by and not one person even came to acknowledge us bring us water or take a drink order. Finally we went to the hostess and she was too busy looking at her phone but we asked if we were supposed to order at the bar or if there was a server? She said the bartender is supposed to serve tables in the bar area and even though we were in plain site he never once came to us or said a word and plenty of servers just hanging out at the bar. Again he only had 1 group of 4 people at the bar drinking only. Finally after 10 minutes a server came to take our order. She was very nice and apologized for the delay. we started with a Dinner salad and were informed when it was served that they were out of onions. Really 8 pm Saturday night and it was rather slow and they are out of onion? No biggie we ordered a pizza then just a simple sausage and mushroom thin crust pizza no special request nothing complicated and not only did we wait a rather long time it was still slightly undercooked and I don't think they put any sauce on it. It was Dry and tasteless. While we were waiting for our pizza another couple was seated in the same bar area at a booth and low and behold the bartender had no issue serving them immediately. At that point I was really annoyed and since the pizza wasn't very good we just paid and left. Just really disappointed in the food and the service. There were plenty of people working for a very small number of guests and all were just standing around hanging out for the most part. read more

First visit - thin crust cheese pizza, too much sauce which squished out when you bit into it and the crust wasn't crisp. Had to walk past tables to get to pay/pick-up window, small area and crowded. Second visit - thin crust sausage, mushroom, onion asked for extra crispy crust. Crust was mushy. Third visit - tried sandwiches, not impressed, nothing special. Arrived at the time it was supposed to be ready but they didn't start making them until I arrived. Gave me a chance to watch the teenagers making the pizzas, explains the lack of quality control and inconsistency in sauce/under cooked crust. They are not pizza makers just unsupervised and untrained cheap labor. Also, they had a pizza back there and were eating it while making pizzas to order. Fourth and last visit was last night. We decided to try the pasta. Spaghetti and marinara sauce, fettuccini and alfredo sauce with grilled chicken. Both had a lot of pasta but very little sauce, the pasta was hot but stuck together underneath the rationed amount of sauce. LAST STRAW: I asked about the fresh baked bread that the carry-out menu says comes with the pasta dishes. I was told that is for dine-in only. I picked up the carry-out menu and showed her that it is stated in the menu. I was told they copied their menu over to the carry-out menu and again the bread was for dine-in only. I said it states it comes with the dish in the carry-out menu. She reluctantly gave me a piece of bread. Overall, the staff is young and inexperienced. They don't know how to treat a paying customer and it doesn't appear there is any management in sight. I did look around for someone. I felt like I was interrupting each time I've been there to pay/pick up food, staff are in the area by the register and kitchen and talking, last night there were four of them watching as I begged for bread that goes with the dinner. I expect if things continue as they are, this place with close and good riddance. read more

Not good at all... pizza was not cooked... I ordered fries with dinner and they never came .. I told waitress to keep them because they finally came out after I was done... Waitress wanted me to take them home with me.... Like I wanted cold fries for later... Stay away read more

I was here for lunch take out, the personal pizza was good, tasty sauce and home made crust. Very nice dinner salad also. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, very modern with cool light fixtures ! I will not hesitate to come back. read more

This is definitely one of my favorite pizza joint's. Great pizza, great service and clean. The one issue that I had, I ordered a soft drink no alcohol mixed in, I got a refill and they charged me for another soft drink at full price. Other than that I love this place! read more
