Came here for dinner and only waited about 15 minutes on Memorial Day weekend. We got the toasted ravioli and BBQ boneless wings for the appetizers. The ravioli was very good and the boneless wings had plenty of sauce. The ranch was very good too. I got a Red Line beverage as well. It was phenomenal. Pizza was really good! Got the pepperoni and sausage stuffed crust. Had plenty of flavor and meat. Lots of cheese. A lot of the cheese did end up underneath the pizza while on the sheet but it was still good.
I came to Chicago open minded and wanting to try their famous deep dish pizza. I first tried Giordano's stuffed pizza. I was in for a surprise. they use pie dough instead of real pizza dough. A real disappointment. I had to try another place... So I searched for the original place, where it all started: Uno! So instead of a stuffed pizza, they serve real deep dish pizza. Better overall, better toppings, but... Still that pie dough! I will never get why Chicagoans use pie dough instead of real pizza dough. I still had to try some other pizza. The thin crust Chicagoans love, so I went to Aurelio's. Ok, better. Service was great, even on a busy night. Thin crust pizza is served on a metal grill so the crust stays crispy, a nice touch. But... it's still that weird pie dough. Conclusion : Chicago pizza, wether it's stuffed, deep dish or thin crust, has nothing to do with real Italian pizza, but you still have to try it. Many loves it, it's just not for me.
The pizza is very delicious and freshly made. The ingredients are incredible and the sauce is fantastic! I only give it four stars because trying to find parking is terrible! Of course they are located on the south end of downtown so I’m not surprised there’s never parking but they should’ve added a small parking lot for visitors
Really some of the best pizza I've had. The tomato sauce had a great fresh flavor, the toppings were super, service was exceptional and the overall experience amazing.
It was just me when I went in and I sat at the bar. The bartender was fantastic. Very enthusiastic and seemed very happy. I enjoyed the energy. I asked for additional restaurant recommendations while in town. Very friendly and super cool. They gave me suggestions for other great places to get some food while I’m here in Chicago. The pizza was fantastic. I had what the bartender recommended. Definitely would go back to his place.
