Aurelio’s is Chicagoland's first and the nation's fifth established pizza chain. With a history as rich and entrenched in the community as the pizza it’s famous for, the very first Aurelio’s restaurant opened on Ridge Road in Homewood, IL as the pride and joy of Joseph A. Aurelio, Jr. In 1959 he opened a small four table pizzeria in Homewood, Illinois, Joe used traditional family recipes and created new recipes of his own.
With its legendary "old oven" dating back to the opening days in its Homewood location, Aurelio’s was a pioneer in the concept of the Family Pizzeria in the United States and helped to launch pizza into the American lexicon. Since that time, Aurelio’s has become one of Chicagoland’s claims to fame. And, transplanted Chicagoans all over the map have helped to bring their favorite pizzeria franchise to 41 locations across six states, growing a strong fan base for the taste of Aurelio’s.

Aurelio's only uses the highest quality ingredients, serving a variety of generous portions while providing a great value.
