What sets Aurelio's apart from other Chicago-style pizza? We're different because we use only quality ingredients, serve a variety of generous sizes, and specialize in customizing orders to suit each individual taste. Since 1959, the Aurelio family has be

We ended up here because another restaurant could not seat our larger group on a Saturday evening. This was a great choice! The pizza was good. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

This little hole in the wall, strip mall pizzeria is a hidden gem. My first visit I enjoyed a fresh salad with caramelized pears, walnuts, cheese shaving with a balsamic dressing. Itâs huge and will feed a family of four easy. The smoked salmon platter with roasted vegetables was to die for. Then we caped it off with a wood fired pizza; deliciousio! I canât wait to go there again.

I have never had authentic Chicago deep dish pizza before so I asked around and several people told me this was the best place to go. The pizza was delicious! This restaurant was very loud so I wouldnât recommend it for an intimate date night or business dinner. There is a carry out restaurant if you donât have time to wait and there is also frozen pizza for sale. When you order just know that it takes at least 30 minutes for them to bake your pizza so order an appetizer and just be patient.

I've been to Casale's more than a dozen times. The staff are always friendly, particularly Fran and Reno, the owner. There's always a few special dishes and the regular menu doesn't disappoint. Wine list is very inexpensive, so if you're after top-shelf wines, probably best to keep walking. I've had veal piccata, rib eye, pasta, calamari, deserts. They've all been great.Whenever I have business meetings in the area, I bring them to Casale's and never get any complaints.They have a small outdoor seating area and a take-out pizza and entre' storefront next door, too.

There are some things that should be on every visitors âbucket listâ when it comes to regional fare. Their deep dish pizza, local brews and family style dishes are what itâs all about when it comes to pizza pie in the Windy City. You gotta try it.

Although it was not overly crowded; however, the waiter did not take our dinner order until long after we finished the appetizer. About 25 minutes after we placed our dinner order the waiter came back to verify some of our meals. Another 20 minutes passed and four dinners came. It was at least five, if not ten minutes before the remaining two meals came. The waiter never apologized for the long wait or the delay in serving the entire table. Probably one of the five worst waiters I have ever experienced. The food was ok but wouldn't return even if the service was better.

We were here last year and it was much better. The waitresses seemed frazzled and one did nothing but complain the entire time we were there. The lasagna was cold in the center and while we would have sent it back we saw our waitress to order and then by the time we saw her again we were done. The clam chowder was good.
