My husband and I came here on a recommendation and were told it was the best pizza ever. We are happy to report that...it actually was! We got the combination pizza and it was incredible. You get the option of customizing your pizza however you'd like--type of crust, amount of sauce/cheese, toppings. Also, homemade ranch was soooo good! Also, the portions here are generous! Definitely come hungry. The customer service was also excellent. Everyone was so attentive and kind. I ordered a glass of Pinot noir and I guess they had to go somewhere nearby to pick the shipment and because I had to wait (maybe 5 minutes), they gave me a second glass on the house. Will definitely be making this restaurant a regular stop when we visit fort Bragg! read more

I'm from out of town and saw these guys on yelp. The pizza was amazing. The place definitely has a nostalgic Italian pizzeria feel. When you pick up your food you can see all the people working on the pizzas. It was great gourmet pizza. read more

Very good Italian dinner. Pizza was amazing!! We ordered the cauliflower crust and it was as good as it can get. My husband ordered a salad. The portion was huge, and it had a a dollop of pesto sauce on top. It was delish!!! Bread were very good too. Nice friendly server. Worth the buck! read more

Great service--not too crowded when we showed an hour before closing Monday night. Impressions: - The "thin" crust pizza is a medium-thin crust, and super tasty. On anything medium size and up, they do half and half. Hawaiian was great, but I had the meatball with various veggies on the other half. The meatball is outstanding and great on pizza! - Bread is a bit bland and needs the butter. It's very soft and the crust is very soft too. My kids devoured a loaf in 5 minutes--they really liked it. - Pastas were tasty. We had lasagna and a claim linguini. We didn't really have left overs and the portions are a great size! Service was great too. Will easily come back when we're on vacation here. read more

Service was great! Food was excellent! Full servings are enough to feed 2 I should have got half serving. Pricing is fair for the food quality. read more

A must stop if your from out of town visiting or passing through. This little hole in the wall of a gem is delicious. I get the same thing every time. Pizza and salad with their house creamy Italian. The only negative I can say about this place is it does sometimes get a little warm but it's because of the ovens and it's a small place. Great customer service with amazing and delicious food. Something very rare nowadays! read more

Pizza is very good, if not exactly life-changing. The build-your-own option is great. Service is attentive. Stick to beer with your pie: the wine we got was proFOUNDly disappointing. read more

All Hype, we heard so many people rave about this place, we love pizza. Monday June 24 2019, we checked into our hotel and that evening went up and got a Medium Pizza, Medium Crust. Let talk about the crust, it tasted like the cardboard box, and the toppings weren't much better. Honestly I have to recommend that you weigh your options, because on Tuesday we decided that we really wanted a good Pizza so we tried Bernillo's so outstanding D'Aurelios needs to re-evaluate the dough they are using to make their crust read more

My favorite pizza place in the world. Amazing portions and great value. Family run business with great staff. If you order a large pizza you will have leftovers for days. My favorite is to get medium sauce, medium cheese, and thick crust, with a side salad and a side of their delicious ranch. read more

We have the cutest little delivery person that was with food runners and the service was fabulous both there when we called and the delivery. We liked the thick crust and was unaware of all the options in ordering. We would get a pizza for Henry try it with more sauce. read more

We were visiting from Sacramento and were in the mood for some Italian with seafood. I ordered the seafood medley pasta and it was delicious. My sauce choice was pesto but asked them to make it creamy amd they didn't disappoint. Best pesto I have had in years. I could actually taste itty bitty chunks of garlic. Their homemade bread was spectacular too. Very unassuming ace , but oh, so worth it. read more

Second try in 3 months. They WAY over sauce their pasta. The pesto is so overwhelming I tasted it for a week! Second try I had the olive oil and garlic primavera.. not only did they use frozen vegetables but there was WAY too much garlic. My husband had the cheese ravioli with the same sauce.. you had to scrape off the chunks of garlic just to get to the pasta. Too much isn't always a good thing. Won't be back. read more

Fast, friendly, fantastic, flavorful. I dissed a couple of places on our trip to Fort Bragg as they deserved a 1 star. This place is exactly what it should be. Basic pizza and salad, beer, wine. Delicious! read more

If you are into fine dining and care more about pretentiousness and ego stroking, as well as having some foodie mentality, then this is certainly not the place for you. But, if your goal is BEFORE AFTER O O ----- *BBBBURRRRRRP!* / | \ /{ }\ awww yeah let's get DESSERT! | ----GROWL { } / \ / \ You've come to the right place. D'aurelios has been open since 1985, and is bottom line, a no frills and non nonsense Italian American eatery. While some of the kitchen staff don't look Italian by any means, don't let that steer you away, because on many evenings this place is very busy with locals and visitors in the know. Here are a few things to keep in mind: - they only open for dinner. Should you crave an Italian lunch, there are one or two Italian American style sandwich shops to satiate your partial fix, or try V'Canto which is a different style. - when you come in, look for the white board on your right and put your name down and # in your party. While you are at it, look at the bottom right of the board, where you see the daily specials that seemingly don't change (red velvet cake, a cheesecake, and spumoni). - service may seem a bit slow, but if you are reading this you're likely on vacation. Just relax and wait. - there is only one house soup, minestrone. But make sure you try it...really good. Not watered down like many places in SF Bay Area, but thick enough in flavor and not chunky like a stew. I've had way too many pseudostrone's that it is not funny. - The portions here are generous to say the least. Be conservative with ordering, or be prepared to take home leftovers (which locals do quite a lot), but if you are visiting, keep that in mind. A half order of pasta is sufficient, even if $5 more for a full seems like a bargain. - most people come here for the pizzas, but at least have a few people with you so you can share. Choose your toppings, and density of cheese, or select from the pre-selected choice of toppings. Not a cheap pizza by any means, but they all look decadent - Lasagna is supposedly really good at least it looked really good but packed a mondo calorific punishment. Cioppino, if they have it is $25. - The house bread, while made/baked in house, is served cold and is huge. Or if you don't like that, spend $3 and get garlic bread (half order), where they heat the house bread up till the crust is crispy and apply a nice garlic butter spread on it. Then you take the grated cheese/cheese powder sprinkler on the table and sprinkle dat chit on top of the garlic bread till the cows come home and shove it into your piehole until your cheeks explode like a chipmunk storing food for the winter, to your heart's content. Then use whatever bread you have left to soak up the red sauce if you order pasta. Linguine with meatballs in redsauce? Love it. I feel like a kid again. Take a slice of meatball with a little sauce and put it on the garlic bread like an open faced sandwich? Yeah baby. Mama Mia. I'm on vacation. read more

We're on a COVID escape, isolating on the Coast just to see something different from our four walls at home...and ordered pizza from here two nights ago. We weren't sure of the options since we were ordering over the phone...so we ordered a large with thin crust, medium red sauce, medium cheese, pepperoni and onions on 1/2. We also ordered a medium with thin crust, medium red sauce and medium cheese with chicken and basil. Oh my! My husband and two teenagers kept commenting on how this was some of the best pizza we had had in YEARS. The onions turned out to be sautéed or carmelized (wow!!) and were quite an addition. The flavors were amazing. And the chicken basil! What a combination. Between the two pizzas, there was plenty for dinner and everyone got another slice for breakfast. We are planning to order from them again tonight...the raging debate now is whether to place the exact same order or to branch out??? We shall see... read more

The chicken on my pizza was clearly old and frozen as was smelling very off. The veggies weren't fresh either. I'd better opt for visiting Pizza Hut or dominos. read more

Definitely a local pizza place. I would go back again. Everything was fresh and quick to arrive. Clam chowder was very good as well as salad. Drinks were refilled often. Waitress was very nice. Everyone checked up on us to make everything was good. Even said goodbye and thanks when we left. read more

Personally I love a friendly small business and D'aurelios is as good as it gets! This is a wonderful little family owned pizza place complete with checkered table cloths. Their Pizza is tasty, fresh, and you can get just about anything on it that you want. But the main reason to go there is their fresh baked bread! I usually fill up on this before the pizza even gets to our table. And we usually get a loaf to take home to make the most delicious french toast! I highly recommend it as one of the best family run establishments there is. read more

AMAZING, TASTY FOOD!!! This place is a hidden gem. Italian food at its finest. Homemade fresh bread. Pizza. Pasta. Salad. Two words: MEATBALL SUB! But honestly, I have never had a bad meal here. And the bread is just. so. good. This place is a staple whenever we visit the area during camping - usually our first dinner in the area. Everyone who works there is super friendly. What it comes down to is you need to visit here. It's not a big place, but it's well worth it. read more

We LOVED this family owned business and always make sure to eat here every time we are in this area but, tonight we were craving their wonderful pizza. We picked it up and had to drive a little bit to get home we had ordered medium sauce and there was practically NO sauce less than a teaspoon on the whole pizza so it was very, very dry, a little sauce at the edge but, if you were to take the toppings off there was nothing. We are very disappointed and not planning on going back which is kinda sad and , the pizza was pretty pricey which would be fine if we got what we paid for because, it is homemade and the sauce if there was any is SUPER good! We also paid for heavy cheese and there was cheese but, not heavy at all.we would have taken it back but, we were on the other side of town. Maybe it was an off night but, not really ready to risk it again. read more

It's nearly impossible to find the Italian places of my East Coast youth on the West Coast. Eating here was like going home, down to the individually-wrapped melt away mints that came to the check. The food is very homestyle Italian and however large you think the portions might be, scale up. Get the Basil Vinaigrette, which was so good, I packed up the leftovers. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Great food. Homemade items. Friendy and promt service. Not really conducive indoor dining if concerned with covid19. Small area indoor dining, crowded presumably do to good food, and little to no space between booths. A few table spaces offer more distance buy still small indoor environment. Can go with take out. read more

Wow! Great Italian food. I was told to come here by a client of mine and I am so glad I listened. You can tell everything is made from scratch. The ranch dressing on my salad was seriously the best ever. Also the Italian dressing, wow. They serve home made bread with every meal. My ONLY complaint was that the bread was cold, so you couldn't spread your butter. Service also was not the best. They weren't warm or inviting. The Mexican man who stood by the bread, I think he was a busser, was AMAZING and attentive. People behind the counter were smiling. We came right at 5pm. The place was filled with a waiting list by the time we left. The food was hot (except the bread, I think that's how it's served, cold. Yuck!), the ingredients were fresh. The pizza was HUGE, we ordered a mini for my two daughters (6&8) it was easily the size of a medium at a normal place. We ordered medium sauce and cheese, it was the best pizza we have ever had. I wish we lived closer so we could try the other menu items. We will definitely be back when we visit again, hopefully the bread will be not :) read more

The best part about this restaurant was the service and staff. Very friendly. I like that they care about the environment and the homeless. I ordered the linguini with garlic. It was tasty but a bit too much garlic for me. My husband ordered the Mediterranean chicken pasta. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit spicy. We would definitely return though and order a pizza! read more

Our first time in Ft.Bragg and Tim at Motel 6 suggested this restaurant, he said it was one of the best in the area...he was right! We came in around 5:00 and is soon filled up at 5:45. Everyone was nice and service was wonderful. Micro Brew and Italian food...perfect! If you get served by Donna, you must be special, because she's awesome! read more

First time eater here. We ordered pizza, so my experience here is limited since they serve a variety of Italian dishes, but overall we were very happy with our meal. Our group ordered 5 pizzas and all of them were spot on good. Our server was a nice young man with very little experience, so things were a little lacking in the service department. We were eating pizza with our hands(obviously) and had one napkin each. When we asked for more, he gave us 4 more napkins for 12 people, lol. He was a nice kid and you've got to learn somewhere and sometimes, so very forgivable. In case you're wondering, their soda pitchers fill 5 large soda glasses to the top for $9. There was a VERY steady line of to go orders, this was a weekday evening. We will be back to try the other dishes that they are known for! read more

We have been coming here for years. The best Lasagne in town. The bread is always extremely fresh and the Pizza' s are definitely the best in Fort Bragg. For very casual dinning, great pizza and other Italian foods, and good service this is the place. read more

We recently visited Fort Bragg for the first time and Pizza was the craving for the night. D'Aurelio's was delicious. Nice thick crust extra cheesey and they didn't skimp on the toppings. Masks required, social distancing marked on the floor it was well thought out for takeout during the pandemic. A must have if your staying in Fort Bragg. Going over and beyond. I must have been high off the pizza smell in the air I left my ATM card there and didn't realize it until I was home 5 hours away days later. I called them up and they checked their lost and found and they had my ATM card in their lost and found. The lady said she would mail it and she did as promised the next day paying $8.00 to have it secured and expedited. WOW! They obviously have very ipstanding and honest employees there. I could have been hosed if they didn't. It really say something about the Mom and Pop Pizza place family atmosphere. Highly suggested to try this place out. If the delicious pizza isn't enough to bring you in then to support the honest people working there should make it a must try. Thank you we will be back! Joey read more

I ordered a mini pizza with 5 toppings, which on the menu is $16, but my total was a few cents shy of 20 bucks. I worked in service for many many years and I've come to find that food taste better and the people who work there enjoy what they're doing, but no one seem to be in any kind of decent spirits when I went to pick up my order. It's reflected in the flavor of the food which was bland. Food should be made with love and passion, and if not..perhaps it's time to either retire or rejuvenate and inspire your crew, as they are a direct reflection of the owner. read more

I didn't particularly like the spinach ravioli. The server noticed and made a suggestion for a different dish and promptly brought it out. I loved the tortellini! The cream sauce is light and flavorful. I was so surprised that on my bill was the dish I ordered with a discount and no charge for the new dish. Thank you! Service was a 10/10! read more
