Being from Chicago, I grew up eating Aurelio's. It was always my favorite thin crust pizza in the area! When our family went back to Chicago last summer for a visit, we made sure to have Aurelio's. It was delicious, as usual.
My parents retired in Las Vegas so we were all thrilled when Aurelio's opened there. We would always pick up a pizza on our way to visit them from the various Aurelio's locations. We even picked up one over Thanksgiving from this sole surviving location. Last week was the first time we sat in the restaurant to eat the pizza rather than having take-out.
The best part about our experience last week was the very friendly and attentive staff. We also enjoyed looking at the Chicago memorabilia displayed on the walls. And, the antipasto salad seemed much more generous when served on site rather than taking it to-go.
But, the taste of the pizza was somewhat disappointing. It did not taste like the pizza we have at the Aurelio's in Chicago. It really was just ok. However, I imagine we will still stop by here again when coming through town for nostalgia's sake.
