They don't have an old oven, but they cooked the pizza crispy and it tasted just as good as the original Homewood location. I think Aurelio's pizza is the best anywhere in Chicagoland.
We ordered a rather larger order and everthing went smooth. Love the taste of this pizza, that sauce is on the sweeter side a bit tangy but its rather enjoyable theres a balance with the cheese amd toppings. Ask for it well done to put a bit of color on the pizza!
The cashier was very courteous and patient. The pizza was cooked in a timely fashion. The transaction was smooth and the expected wait time matched what the cashier said. Facility was as clean as they come and the pizza was warm and delicious!
Good extra cheese pizza, I would have given 5 stars but I would have preferred if it were cooked a couple more minutes, I will definitely order from this establishment again
Always stop by for the affordable slices of pizza during lunch. Today I tired the soup with no expectations and wow the Minestrone soup was fresh, flavorful and packed with different veggies 10/10! A must try if you are in the area and cheap at $8 for a slice, soup and pop.
