    Square cut small pizza , extra Sauce , sausage , onions, peppers, and giardiniera on the side
    Harden K.

    Beggars pizza has always been my go to choice for suburban pizza. Beggars offers a robust sauce , very flavorful, toppings are always fresh and loaded!! Beggars does not skimp on the toppings, a quality I love a lot. Service is quick - they do offer a drive thru pick up window for your order. My negative takeaway is the giardiniera i ordered on the side. It was very very dry !!! Needs to have the juices to go along with it

    Pepperoni slice
    Rebecca S.

    Yum! Can't believe they offer fresh deep dish pizza slices!! Who knew?! So glad to drop in for this delicious treat! I won't be able to finish both and will definitely share Call ahead to see which slices they are offering It's first come first serve and they open at 11am They have a drive up window

    Thin crust pizza
    Tiesha D.

    Pizza was terrible! I ordered thin crust but it was as thick as my thumb!! $50 plus $13 tip down the drain!

    Just picked up a large one

    See all

    Has a family-sized; cheese and sausage pizza with garlic and hot peppers delivered. Wonderful, just could have used more Italian spices

    Some of the worst pizza ever. The staff is more attentive to each other than the customer and the vibe is extremely odd.

    Famous for their thin crust Chicago-style tavern-style pizza (always cut in squares), this location…read moreof Aurelio's Pizza in Homewood is the oldest, located in the same city as the original. I had not heard about it until it made it to the national conscience when a native Chicagoan became the Pope, and his favorite pizzeria was identified as Aurelio's. So on a short visit to Chicago, my wife and I (along with her mom and aunt) made the longer trek to this location (even though there were many locations closer), and was really glad we did. Founded in 1959, it was the first Chicago pizzeria to franchise, with now 34 locations across the country (20 in IL, 11 in IN, 2 in FL, 1 in NV). This location is the oldest, and (thinking) the largest, with two stories of seating, and many separate rooms. They will seat you, keeping large sections empty during less crowded lunch time. There is a section where the current pontiff liked to sit during his visits back to his hometown, and one is allowed to take pictures, which we did gladly. The menu can vary amongst the locations, and this one does not have baked clams as I was hoping. So got a order of Bosco Sticks ($10 for 4), reminded me of Olive Garden breadsticks stuffed with a bit of mozzarella. The pizza sauce for dipping was good. Hot tea was ordered for the seniors ($3 each). There is a decent selection of draft beers, so got a pint of Blue Moon ($6.50) and Aurelio's Batch 59 ($6.50). The latter is hoppy, and I appreciated the very reasonable prices. As for the pizza, I really, really wanted it to be the best Chicago-style pizza I've ever had. Unfortunately, It wasn't: which everyone at the table (probably 150 years total of living in Chicago eating hundreds of pizzas) agreed with. The large 15" pizza ($29 for 2 toppings: toppings were fine (pepperoni and pineapple 1/2 with sausage [no fennel] and hot giardiniera 1/2), with plenty of cheese spread to the very end of the crust. The cheese had been beautifully browned. We had asked for it to be cooked in the 'old oven' (that request was even marked on the receipt). But the crust was a bit too thick and fluffy, and just wasn't as good as a lot of tavern style pizzas I've had (as an example, I much prefer the pizza from Rosati's, a chain that has even more locations, and each Chicago suburb town has their own local favorite as well: e.g. Quonset Pizza in Waukegan). So looks like this is really a South-side favorite. As for the service, the sitting hostess wasn't the friendliest, but Alyssa (our server) was great throughout: very friendly answering our questions and making sure we were doing OK. I ended up buying a t-shirt from the front counter (Pope Leo XIV: Poperoni (trademarked) Peace, Love, Aurelio's) for $25. Payment is made at the table, and they do have a 3% surcharge for credit card payment.
