When I read the review, but said they've never been to an Italian restaurant that was in a strip mall neither have I however, been born and raised in a area. I've had a lot of options for Italian food. Best pizza best seafood fettuccine I've ever had. I'll be coming back to this place since I love Fort Brag. read more

Four stars for the sweet friendly service. The food- probably just a 3. The shrimp pasta: they don't skimp, so the portion is huge. The size is for two people. The shrimp is delicious. If I had to order all over again, I'd say, please serve it with sauce on the side or just half the sauce. It felt overly sauced, and had a more of a Mac and cheese consistency. Very rich, deeply cheesy. I didn't sense any wine in that cheese sauce at all as advertised. It's thick. Little salad was delicious with olives and peppercinis. Loved that little basic item. Cheese pizza- ok. Cheese tastes like good quality. Crust was just eh. They ran out of bread so they brought us focaccia. It was good. Spumoni- icy. Good flavor. Ok. Wouldn't get it again, more icy than creamy. read more

Excellent food. Make sure you read the discount for extra pizza toppings. Make a reservation! We had to wait an hour with no reservations.

They have a great open faced Italian sandwich. They also have very good pizza and lasagna.

They were good back in the days, but I ordered heavy cheese pizza and a thin crust pizza and they were both the same thickness I went again and order extra heavy cheese and again about an 1/8 of cheese, complete garbage read more

Really good pizza! The crust was fresh and perfectly baked, with a great balance of crispiness and chewiness. The toppings were flavorful, the cheese was delicious, and everything tasted fresh. We got it door dashed to our room, and ate it on the balcony watching the sunset. Definitely a great spot when you're craving pizza. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Amazing flavorful food, generous portions. Staff is always friendly and attentive. Prices are well worth the quality of food. Fresh baked, warm bread served with butter comes with the meal. read more

THIS IS HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST PIZZA PLACES EVER! We came here after finding it on Yelp and I'm so happy we did! The servers were super nice and attentive to us and the food was amazing! We got the Andre Special (pesto, chicken, grilled onions, bacon, mushrooms, and mozzarella) and the minestrone soup. We really wanted to try the clam chowder but they were unfortunately sold out. First off, the bread was amazing! It melted in your mouth and is handmade with a thick crust and a gooey inside. The Minestrone soup wasn't thick at all and was jam packed with noodles and vegetables. The Andre Special was by far my favorite pizza as the ingredients blended together so well and they use the same dough as their bread. The crust was perfectly chewy and the pizza tasted fresh. I ate the pizza for leftovers 2 days later and it still tasted as amazing heated up as it did the day we got it! I would highly recommend coming here if you're in the area! read more

So glad we passed up the tourist spots and found this local favorite in a strip mall. We arrived 745 (just before closing) and the place was packed with families. Wait staff super friendly since we couldn't decide hubby got the lasagna and I got the mini thick pizza. Lasagna came with cup of soup- it was full of veggies but it wasn't our favorite. The lasagna is proportioned house made... and reheated. Unfortunately the sauce which is added during assembly is hot but the inside of the lasagna was cold. We really liked the sauce for dipping. The mini thick crust pizza is more than enough for two adults. We loved the crispy bottom of the crust and soooo much cheese without having to "go heavy" on cheese. Given the other things we ate we could not finish the mini pizza. There is a bit of debate - hubby said it was too much crust for him - I liked dipping the crust in the extra lasagna sauce lol The server said that if you order regular crust with more than 2 toppings it can't hold up. We saw this amazing salad come out with what looked like salami on it. Next time we are in town we are getting a mini pizza and that salad. read more

D'Aurelio's is a must-go to place when I'm in Fort Bragg. It's only open for dinner though and set back behind the main drag. Never-the-less it is a popular place because their food is outstanding. Everything is homemade and delicious. The portions are generous. I got a mini pizza, thick crust, marinara sauce, cheese and sausage, mushroom and bell pepper. After one piece, I was full. read more

Food tasted just fine, prices left a bad taste. Was $100 out the door for a mini pizza, penne pasta, 1/2 order of salad, and a beer. $28 for the mini sized pizza really stung when I saw it on the check. read more

This is a sweet, intimate, family owned Italian restaurant. You can tell everything is authentic in each and every one of their dishes. Even their bread is homemade and it was the best bread I have had in a restaurant. The first time we came here (6 years ago) we tried their pizza. The pizza is fun to order because you get to choose how much sauce and cheese you want. They have an extensive list of toppings and everything tastes so fresh. Pizza is definitely 5 stars! This time, we both ordered pasta dishes. I ordered their pesto and mine was so fresh tasting and the flavors were well balanced. My wife ordered chicken alfredo and it was the cheesiest, tastiest alfredo I've ever had. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the chicken was quite dry and I could only eat a couple pieces of it before I gave up on it. But overall, I would recommend this place and we will be coming here again next time we visit the Mendocino area. read more

The BEST pizza, honestly! We chose to eat here based on Yelp reviews because we were in the mood for pizza. We weren't expecting much because how unique can pizza really be? Parking was in a strip mall, and it was easy to find (you'll find a few groups of people waiting outside to get seated). The interior of the restaurant is modest and quaint. After about 15-20 minutes, we were seated in a booth. We ordered the lasagna and a small pizza for 2 of us. We honestly could have gone with the mini because they come out a lot bigger than you expect them to. The lasagna was solid - filling and delicious. Not the best lasagna we've ever had but it was delicious and comforting. For the small pizza, we got the Andre special on a thin crust (I like that you have an option to choose thin or thick crust). I'm glad we chose the thin because it was thick enough to complement the pizza but wasn't too thin like a cracker where it doesn't taste like pizza. The ingredients they use were generously and evenly spread through the whole pie and each bite had a nice crunch to the bottom crust with the ultimate cheese pull. Flavors meshed well together and I can easily say this is one of the best pizza's I've ever had! I appreciated their options for the pizzas - thin or thick crust, light, medium, or heavy cheese, and red, pesto, or alfredo sauce. I'd definitely stop by again if in the area. Oh, and the butter is UNDER the bread! We ate a few plain pieces hoping for butter before we discovered them at the bottom of the basket, haha. read more

The food is ok. Not the best pizza/ Italian food out there. We ordered a couple of pizzas, spaghetti with meat sauce, salad, and eggplant parm. As our order got to the table, the spaghetti and meat sauce order was cold (meat sauce) and noodles very lukewarm, the pizza wasn't great, and the eggplant parm was piping hot at the top but the rest was a very lukewarm. It's not bad... food mediocre. I was definitely expecting better from reading previous reviews. Service was good. The waitresses were nice and took orders quickly. Ambiance fine as well. read more

Not the best, not the worst Pasta was overcooked, sauce was watery The materials felt very genetically modified and basic Service was great! Nice people read more

I got the pasta with chicken, white sauce and sun-dried tomatoes! It was seriously amazing. We were camping from out of town and we went there twice during the week we were there. Absolutely delicious food! Our friends went and had the pizza - also raved about it! The dinner salad was fresh and not skimpy. I personally liked the pepperoncini with it. Good ranch too! read more

I've ordered take out every Wednesday the past 3 weeks. Every time I am greeted with a big smile and a hearty welcome! The food is so delicious and reasonably priced. Keep up the good work! read more

Every time we come to Fort Bragg, our first night is alway a pizza to go from here. It has been the best for at least 20 years. Sadly, the last two years we have been disappointed. We always ask for medium sauce and cheese. Both times, it looked like we got light for both. Thought the first time it was a mistake but after getting the results a second time, maybe they are just cutting back? Very sad to say, I will probably have to try other pizza places read more

We ordered a pizza and pasta with meatballs. The pasta was ok. Nothing special. Sauce was kind of bland. BUT, the pizza was absolutely delicious and massive! We got a small and it was 8 large slices (we could have definitely shared a mini). You can choose the crust thickness, the type and amount of sauce, and the amount of cheese. They will even let you split types of pizza (half and half). If you're wanting good pizza, I would definitely recommend checking D'Aurelios out! read more

Meatball sandwich was disgusting. Meat was so soft it felt undercooked and mushy, like paste. No texture, no flavor, completely inedible. Never again. read more

The best pizza in town and everything is made fresh. Try it you'll like it!! It's usually busy so go early.

This is a pizza place that is in a mini strip mall in Ft. Bragg. My wife and I were jonesin' for some pizza and Yelp came through....many, many good reviews...almost too good to believe. Warning it doesn't look like much from the outside but trust the reviews and go in. So, the pizza and service were 5+ - to quote other Yelp reviewers, it might be one of the best pizzas we've ever had. The service was very helpful since my wife has a few allergies - especially egg so anything mayo is also out. The server was incredibly helpful, checking other dishes in the back for egg related ingredients. Two thumbs up. So my wife had a meat lover pizza with light cheese and thin crust and, after stealing a few bites, I had to agree, it was mindblowingly good. I had their minestrone soup as a starter before my lasagna - very good. So, why a 4 star? This is one of those where you wish there were 1/2 stars....A few small bobbles. First, get ready to like your neighbor eaters because your booth bench is really close with the bench across the way...not a deal killer but a little uncomfortable. Also, they provide bread at the beginning but it's really like sliced white bread, light sourdough maybe? Not much taste. The final bobble was the lasagna - my wife had the pizza and I ordered the lasagna. I realize there are a lot of opinions on lasagna but here's mine...The dish was a cheese bomb. I literally had to dig to find any meat sauce. The ratio was upside down - needed way more meat, way less cheese. This was a Wednesday and the place was hopping - it's clearly a popular local place for good reason. This place is a must stop if you're in the area but my recommendation is to stick with the pizza. read more

We got so sick, we thought we were going to die !. Me and wife went to emergency room after eating here. And as for the service , what service ?. Inattentive and rude. Filthy bathroom !!!, so bad I couldn't even use it !. And it felt like we were eating in a Mexican restaurant , as they were the only employees there. Definitely were not any Italians working there, they all spoke Spanish . What a sham of a restaurant . HORRIBLE FOOD NOT FIT FOR DOGS LET ALONE HUMANS. read more

Everything on the menu sounded yummy. Asked the waitress to surprise me. She brought me a full order of lasagna and this was HEAVEN. layers of meaty cheesy yummy goodness. The basil vinaigrette was mind blowing and I still think about it weeks later. Great service. Delicious food. Pleasant surprise tucked away in For Bragg. read more

D'Aurelios - Full order lasagna - Pizza Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

Excellent portion sizes. I mean they were very generous with it. It's an Italian restaurant that has been around for a while. They offer hometown Italian fare such as pizza, focaccia, and soups and salads. They also sell their home made Italian bread and garlic bread, baked fresh daily. I tried their pesto linguini with chicken and it was pretty good. I probably would omit the olives out next time but the dish itself was bright and very herby. The pesto gave the dish a savory and rich flavor. Server was pretty friendly but it did take a while for the food to come out. It didn't seem too busy inside but they did have a few takeout orders. read more

We haven't been here in 5 years and it was exactly what I remembered, DELICIOUS! We ordered the full size lasagna,meatball sub and margherita pizza. The house salad with the house italian was really good too! Great service and was quickly seated. From our booth we were able to watch the cooks make the food. It looked like sauces were made to order. Everything tasted homemade. This will be another go to spot anytime we visit Fort Bragg. read more

My family and I came in on Valentine's Day and had a wonderful dinner, the food was delicious and the wait staff was friendly. The place had a very family friendly atmosphere I will definitely be returning. The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is that they got my sons order wrong, they gave us linguini instead of penne pasta. My son is a year old and I had to chop up the pasta for him, this was little more than a minor inconvenience in an otherwise fantastic meal and experience I hope my next visit is even better. read more

D'Aurelios - Full order of Chicken Alfredo and garlic bread - Pizza Near Me - Fort Bragg, California

The food was good and it didn't take too long to get, But... The ambience was ok but I would prefer there to be a window so we could see the pizza getting made (just a suggestion) also the pizza was good but you have to get medium cheese, and extra sauce with THIN crust. The "normal" crust is like a bread pie with Parmesan sprinkles on top. If you get anything else it would be too much cheese or not enough sauce. Other than this it was pretty cool and I would go again. read more

The lady and I went here for dinner and I'll say I'll be back , we both got chicken Alfredo and the Alfredo was damn good for a restaurant (I'm a chef so we make really good food )the only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the chicken just wasn't right , ate a few pieces but in the end I just ate all the noodles and sauce , The bread they make is amazing as well had a wonderful dinner The service was nice as well they were on top of everything read more

Can't speak for the food because we never got to try it. Came in on a Sunday evening and entered the restaurant, there was another group waiting so we hung behind them and not a single person greeted them or our group. Restaurant was not crowded either. At one point a server came up with a stack of menus so we thought we may get seated or even acknowledged but we were not. She simply put the menus away and walked away without a single word. Super disappointing as we are a family of 5 and were ready to order food, drinks, wine. But I guess they don't need the business! Left after about 15 minutes. read more

I want to start off by saying, the location here is ok. However the charm of the owners and the food, wow! The smell as you walk in is like that rich Italian aroma of garlic, oregano, and mozzarella!!! We ordered light and I wish we had photos. My wife and I shared a Wonderfull pasta meal with chicken. Ordered a side of meatballs and man, they were fresh and D'licious! Thank you for taking care of us too when we had an issue and it is nice to speak with the owner. She was great! The fact that it's cooked fresh in the morning, served fresh and any left overs are donated to the local food bank. BRAVO!!! I love hearing about local restaurants helping out their local community! As my grammy would say!!! Manga, Manga!!! read more

Just our favorite pizza anywhere!! Any kind ...anytime ... these folks make the best pizza in town!

After checking in to our nearby accommodations, I asked if there were any pizza delivery places nearby. Our host recommended this 'authentic' pizza place right next door. She said everything is handmade and it's the BEST pizza around! So we were intrigued. I called in a pick-up order. The guy on the phone was friendly enough at first, but then got pretty short and seemed rushed. This was at about 7pm. I assumed they must be busy and hoped our order was going to be correct. We ordered a medium thin crust 1/2 Isaac Special 1/2 Marguerite. He said it would be ready in about 25 minutes. In 25 minutes my husband walked over and picked it up. It was piping hot...had to let it cool a bit so the topping would stay put ;-) It was all our host said and more...absolutely delicious! The thin crust was cooked perfectly, with a little char in parts. The toppings generous. The sauces tasted homemade, very fresh. The cost was $29.40...a little pricey, but we were so hungry after our all day adventure in the Redwoods NP, we didn't care. Plus the quality of pizza made it worth every penny! Overall very happy with our pizza choice. Would definitely recommend! read more

A great place to enjoy 4th of July dinner while on vacation with my family. The homemade bread to start was delicious. I tried the minestrone soup One daughter had the Mediterranean chicken pasta and there was enough for two meals. It was very tasty. The other daughter and my wife shared a meat lovers pizza and the comment was " best pizza I have eaten". We had enough for a second meal. The blue cheese dressing is very good. Great service. Highly recommend. read more
