I have always told everyone to come to Aurelio's then Gelsosomos for the buffet. The pizza is very good. I just came to say that the brunette, millennial girl with the pigtail braid on 4/24/26, during the lunch buffet isn't the best fit for customer service. She was standing in the kitchen, in the service window facing the bar. I asked her if dessert pizza was coming out soon, as I needed to get to my next appointment. She replied with "probably, if there isn't one in there there would be, as they always keep one in there." I've eaten here enough times to know that isn't accurate and if the kitchen doesn't know it's gone, they don't know to replace it. I would hate for her to have inconvenienced herself by turning her head to inquire. LOVE the pizza, not the lazy girl. read more

This is a cool little pizza joint with a good selection of dishes as well! We ordered the works, the bbq and the chef salad. It was all delicious and the service was great! There is even a play room down the hall, and an arcade area!! read more

Had multiple choices of all different types of pizzas because we were there for wedding get together. Every selection was fantastic! Thin crust with many types of toppings all tasted great. Also had wings, bread sticks , salads & a dessert pizza to die for. Two levels of dinning areas and service was very professional & prompt. Highly recommend Gelsosomo's Pizzeria! read more

Pizza was amazing! We are going back for a second day in a row! Loved the hot honey pepperoni!

Spaghetti sauce tasted as if from a jar. The same for the blue cheese dressing. Very disappointing.

this my fav pizza place try it now it even has a play ground outside and inside for you kids aTRY NOW and you won't tegret

Great food, good service, a play room, plenty of space for you and your family/friends, and plenty of parking. The side salads are great, too! read more

Sauce is very sweet. Service is very slow and the food is inconsistent. Have tried many times. Always disappointed.

Pretty disappointed with the service. Or pizza didn't arrive with all of the toppings we ordered and when we told our waitress (who didn't bother to check on us until we were ready for the check), she said, "Yeah, we usually just remove that ingredient." What? I also mentioned the situation to the server at the register and she said, "Oh that's weird, it should have come with that ingredient." No offer of a couple bucks off or a next-time-you-come-in discount. Just not very impressed. GBS were delish though! read more

Okay, so Macomb (where I got my undergrad and masters) had a Aurelio's for years that everyone loved. This all of a sudden, it closed. I had heard it was just changing names and a few other small things. To be fair though, Aurelio's wasn't Aurelio's. I have been to the ones in the Chicagoland, and they are all like Larry A's. Larry A is Aurelio. I went here last night, and I gotta say other than a slightly different sauce, and some decor changes, nothing had changes that I could tell. Still had the same weekly specials as Aurelio's did and ownership is the same. My fri en, and same everything elsd and I had the breadsticks and a pizza and everything tasted just the way I remember it tasting. Breadsticks were light and airy, and the pizza as I said was the exact same (or as far as I could tell). Service was still a bit iffy, but Aurelio's was never really known for its service. read more

Terrible service. waited for 60 minutes to get a table on a Tuesday night. Hostess was rude and the food was substandard. It's been a long time since I went there and now I remember why. read more

Stopped in hear while waiting for amtrack! My son and I had pizza and a Italian beef, both meals were very good. Good service, clean place!

Lots of food and tasted great! Would definitely go back again. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

Ordered delivery which came fast. Pizza was cold and could have been cooked longer. They forgot our ranch dressing that we paid for, and they gave my one tiny side of dressing for my salad, which had two cherry tomatoes, two slices of cucumber, and a tiny sprinkle of olives & cheese. The Tommy G's Meatballs & Sausage Link came with about one tablespoon of sauce. I'm not sure why they give a loaf of bread unless it's to dip it in the sauce? The prices have also gone through the roof!! So expensive especially when they're skimping on ingredients. read more

Crown Point/Winfield is a community saturated with pizza houses. That being said, Gelsosomo's has become our favorite. Service is efficient and timely, the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, and the pies are generous and the crust is crispy without being too thin or dry. Sauce is spiced just right. Toppings are fresh and abundant! We had ham, pineapple and jalapeño! Awesome! read more

Classic family pizzeria, with a new name in recent years but the same atmosphere. Playroom with gym mats for the kids is great. Pizza cut in squares was very tasty but come for the atmosphere. Limited beer on tap but lots of cans and bottles. read more

Fun place to stop on our way south. They had free-standing ovens with glass doors that made it easy to choose which slice you wanted, self-serve type. It made for a fast lunch. "The Works" pizza was the tastiest! The restaurant sits on a traditional old town square with a park in the middle. Nice. read more

Best pizza in Macomb by a landslide. Boneless wings are 100x better than Bdubs as well.

I came to visit my daughter for the weekend, but we felt like just having food delivered and eating in. We were super impressed with the pizza, the tomato bread, and especially the chicken parm. Food was hot, and delivered before the time promised. Only one critique - spaghetti under the parm needed a bit more sauce, which we remedied by using the breadstick dipping marinara. I highly recommend this place!! read more

The food, service and drinks left little to be desired. The menu looked promising but feel short in flavor. The drinks left us wondering if they forgot the alcohol in the drink and waiting on waiters when it was empty was ridiculous. That and the fact we spent most of the time looking for the parmigiana for our pizza drove me nuts. read more

Margherita pizza was AMAZING!! The house Italian salad dressing was delicious, too. Great pizza place!

the waiter wasn't our regular and was to be quite Flfrank "the new guy" and it was obvious. The pizza here is amazing. Especially the deep dish. Go on Monday although it's packed then it's for good reason for their deal. Try the deep dish. It's pricey but worth it. read more

Ordered take out Sunday night. Pizza was really good, but could have been warmer. I've also had the lunch buffet on another occasion. It was kind of hard for someone as short as me to see into the tall warmers. Also hard to balance your plate and try to maneuver a slice of pizza out with the other hand while having a group of hungry people waiting behind you watching your every move. read more

I love their marguerita pizza! It is a friend favorite! There are many other things they are known for but that is my "go-to".

Great Pizza and local business! My family Love Gelsosomos pizza! Very friendly staff nice large restaurant, great place to have private parties too! read more

It's very good but the ravioli portion size is very small. I would get a full if ordering sizes. Service is very friendly and nice. Good private environment really nice! 10/10 read more

Great service and the pizza was delicious. Just the right amount of sauce and toppings on the thin crust to keep everything crisp. Cooked perfectly with a nice buttery crust. Definitely will be coming back here. read more

Pretty damn good pizza!!!! I love the crust. Service was good place was clean. Wasn't happy the server advised us they didn't have the Chicago deep dish yet. Garlic bread was good and cheese sticks were good. Overall good experience read more

Gelsosomo's Pizzeria was inundated with our bus load of special needs students with no advance notice right at the lunch rush. The friendly staff was more than accommodating for our large group. The buffet had a wide variety of pizzas to satisfy our teens and staff. Our server, Alex, was quick and accurate with special orders. We all were impressed with the experience! read more

Aurelio's was better. Service not as good. Food not as good. Experience was meh. If you are really hungry, better options available in town.

Nice family pizza place. Clean and friendly. Pizza sauce was a little sweet for me. Crust could have been firmer... kind of bland. But certainly worth stopping in. read more

The only thing I ever purchased at the Macomb Aurelio's was their famous Spinach Pie. It was their signature pizza as far as I was concerned. Gelsosomo's has a "Popeye Pizza" which is nothing like it. I'm afraid it's spinachy, garlicky goodness is lost forever. For me, this was the test of whether the new could compare to the old, and they did not pass. read more

Pizza is hit or miss; coincidentally we ate here tonight and last week. Last week the pizza was perfect. We could not wait to go again. Tonight the crust was under-cooked...the crust was not at all crispy...it was soft and not good. More disturbing, though, was an employee that kept walking by our table again and again and then turning around and walking away. We were not sure of his purpose...maybe he was checking for empty tables to bus dirty dishes. We did not see him actually do this. Most disturbing, was that the entire time we were there he had a toothpick sticking out of his mouth. I always hate to see this...it is kind of gross. read more

The best pizza in town! Gelsosomo's (formally Aurelios) has a new and improved menu! The food is always delicious. The friendly staff and revamped interior are icing on the cake! YUM! read more

I have been going to Gelsosomos since they were Aurelios when I was young. They always had the best Pizza in town. Usually the wait staff and hosts go out of their way to give you the best service. Recently we have experienced a hostess on Fridays that is down right rude. Normally you are asked if you want a booth or table. Not this hostess. She tries to sit you at the worst tables then if you ask for a booth she is belligerent. One Friday we witnessed her seat a young family with 3 young children next to the back door. When they asked for a different table she angrily grabbed the menus and slammed them on another table. Clearly she should not be a hostess. She has no customer service skills whatsoever. If not for this would be 5 stars. read more

Best Italian food in macomb! The pizzas are awesome! The staff is very friendly! Love coming here to eat. Pastas and sandwiches are amazing as well! I have never been disappointed eating here! Great place to bring the family! They have an amazing room to have a meeting too. Definitely check this place out! read more

I am a fan of this restaurant! I have been here multiple times for the past three years but...today was the first day that I ordered pick-up and I was grossed out. The girl at the register completed my transaction by touching the computer and my money and without washing her hands or putting on gloves, she went to go make dough balls for the pizza right in front of my face. No matter how good the pizza is, that definitely will affect my coming back..... read more

Great pizza, fun family get together, server was awesome but what's up with the cast. Lol

Went there yesterday to take my family who were visiting from out of town, and also relocating to this area. It was a Saturday at 1:30PM. We walked in the front door, only to be yelled at from behind the bar from an employee who was taking tickets from people leaving that "They were closing at 1:30PM". What the hell?! On a Saturday you close at basically a time some people just think about eating lunch? You have to be kidding me..... read more
