Used a GroupBuy coupon to engage my 1st purchase at Aurelio's. Some pizza places pride themselves on the cheese, some for the crust, but I believe this place depends on its sauce, and the sauce is good. The crust is like any other Chicago style pizza place, but the cheese was miniscule throughout the order. The soft bread sticks supposedly had Romano cheese, the jalapeno cheese ravioli was pretty hollow but the stuffed crust pizza was a little better.
I'm a little harder to please because I have some experience in the kitchen. While I would travel the 8 miles for another shot, I still have yet to find a pizza place that can impress me as I did myself while working at a Little Caesar's parlor and tweeking the ingredients. But for the money I spent, and the gross weight of the food I brought home was probably the one thing that impressed me the most. I find spending $15 anywhere else, I can lift the packaged products with my eyelashes.
I will suggest to Aurelio's that they invest some belief in their own cuisine. Chicago-style is beast. For them to advertise thin-crust panders to the westerners, California specifically. Thin crust sucks.
