Aurelio’s Pizza – Naples

Hey Dave, you f***ING douche! It was my birthday today, and you ruined it! Great pizza though, so not entirely ruined. DOUCHE! Leave that magical palace and go work in a sewer!

There for the first time with 10 others. The restaurant was kind enough to move two of the larger tables together to seat us all. Normally that’s done for 14 ppl. We appreciated that. The place was packed and this was only at 6:30. We all enjoyed what we ordered… from six inch pizza pies to antipasto salads to the huge 18″ SUPER SIX PIZZA (that easily feeds 4 — see photo) I typically eat thick crust pizza but this signature dish of theirs with a thinner crust was very good! You won’t be disappointed. Enough here and a price range for everyone. The one waiter we had was great!

We love our weekly pizza and Aurellios has been our pizza destination for many years sauce is great, just crisp enough and square cut. Being from Chicago we were excited when we found the first Aurellios on 41 and were sure they would accommodate our Chicago taste buds; and indeed it did; were devastated when they closed. It took a few years to find a good pizza here in Naples and were delighted when the original Aurellios opened in Coastland Center mall shortly after. It is a 25 minute drive from my home which I gladly make each week but sometimes i am able to shorten the time if I have just finished an Open House in the area. Give it a try

Not the best. Service was very lousy and while we saw platters of pre-​appetizer bread being brought to other tables while on a not-​so-​busy night, our waiter completely forgot about us and we never did get that crunchy toasted bread. One didn’t get our drinks until half way through the meal. Our pasta had a sauce that covered the whole plate and there was very little pasta. The only reason I rated this 2 stars is because of the garlic bread. It was thin crunchy and tasteful. We found our selves getting a second order for the go because of the delicious, luchous, garlicky, crunch of this delight. Second best round of garlic bread we ever had! (Nothing can beat mom’s crunchy breads!!!)The bread was dilicioso!!!

My husband and I absolutely love coming here. It’s quiet and cozy and has amazing pizza. We live about 25 minutes away and are never disappointed when we make the trip. The service is much improved from our last visits, probably due to some of the comments made on Unilocal.Our waiter always remembers us and is very attentive. I just wish they would do delivery!

I love it! So nice to come home to Florida and I’m able to get a true Chicago comfort food down here that is right on the money! Not only is it Chicago pie but it’s good Chicago pie! My suggestions there would be to have the Super 6 which is basically an everything pizza, or keep it simple and just get the sausage! You might remember the old Aurelio’s down the street which was so great, well they stopped using all the real ingredients from the mother store in Chicago that made the pies so authentic in the first place and ultimately they lost the use of the name and in the end there restaurant. DO NOT BE MISLEAD by the fact that this place is attached to a mall! It is the best sit down pizza in Naples! I cant endorse the Gulf Coast Location because I don’t go to that one. This Naples Tradition is Legit!

I usually go here for pizza and is very good. However decided to get the appetizer sampler. This was a mistake, they need to change their oil. Everything was over fried just terrible. Stay with the pizza, everything else on the menu is not very good.

Excellent Pizza, definitely one of the best in the area. Salads and Appetizers are also delicious. Although we had a party of 20 people, service was quick and friendly. Great ambience, bar, and some televisions for watching sports. Fixtures and tables look new and chairs are comfortable!

We had a 15″ pizza and shared a salad for 3 of us and still had a few slices to take home. Good pizza — not awesome but good. The thin crust was good just not the typical Italian pizza dough. This was different but still good and crispy. We will probably be back since we haven’t found anything better yet. The waiter was excellent — he advised on the size of pizza and salad and checked in with us and kept the table clear of used plates.

Prompt service! Friendly wait staff. Had an antipasto and a cheese, thin crust, personal pizza, which was a little small but both were very good. I will go back!

Pizza was really good.
Service was terrible. Maybe I was just in at a bad time but I had to go looking for the bartender every time. Then had to remind her about condiments I had asked for. I was one of only 4 patrons in the entire restaurant. Its on my to go list, to many great wait staff in Naples to ever dine in …

First time eating at aurelio’s. It started off really well. The Brazilian hostess that seated us was so friendly.
We ordered a half cheese half pepperoni fiesta pizza. The biggest size they have on their menu. It was big enough to serve 5 people. The sauce was a little sweet but all in all good tasting.
I will definitely come back here. Especially because of the nice brazilian hostess. Definitely give her a tip when you get in.

Decent restaurant in a mall setting. Service was great and the food was tasty. Good atmosphere and décor. Tried the spinach calabrese — it was good. Get the extra sauce on the side. I’ll be back to try their pizzas.

My Grandma and Suzy wanted to go somewhere simple for Dinner and whats more simple than Pizza. It’s right behind a mall that Suzy usually goes to (I can’t remember the name), It was 8:30 at night and when we walked in and were sat down immediately.
It was a choice between the Bar or Wooden Booths, so we sat in a Booth We got some Waters and a Soda and we were debating on what toppings we wanted for our Pizza Toppings. Mostly Grandma and Suzy wanted Black Olives and Artichokes (I was gonna add some like Bacon and Garlic, but each topping was like 2.00 to 3.50 per Topping and I was outruled. So I wasn’t gonna argue with them so I did it their Way).
It took like 12 to 16 and then it came out a Pizza with a lot of Black Olives and Artichokes (I enjoyed it, I honestly didn’t think I was but I did. This would be something a Vegetarian would sit down to, Artichokes were Tender and the those Olives gave it a bit of Saltiness, the Tomato was Sweet and Rich and the Cheese was Cheesy, What can I say).
The waitress came with the Bill and we paid it (but then she got something Wrong, they noticed that she accidentally charged an extra 2 bucks to the Bill so we told her about it and she fixed the problem, it was an Honest Mistake. I enjoyed dinner here, Pizza tastes good, it tastes homemade. The atmosphere is good I’d grab another Pizza or 2 next time.

Unfortunately, my husband and I did not get to try Aurelio’s Pizzeria. The minute we walked in the door, we were «greeted» by a young waitress who gave us a dirty look, sighed loudly, and told us that the ovens were turned off. This was 40 minutes prior to closing. Ummm, thanks for the welcome and sorry to inconvenience you! We ended up walking out and going elsewhere. Shame on you Aurelio’s for allowing your staff to treat customers this way!

Ordered the stuffed pizza with pepperoni.. it was very good… ordered carryout and sat at the bar for a drink. the crown was $ 9 a drink. but hey, naples is an expensive place to drink… the bartender gave some ideas about local places to go since I ll be here for a few months working… this will be my goto pizza joint in naples moving forward

Had a tasty veggie pizza and a calabrese with spinach and cheese; good service and cold beer. Would return anytime.

5 Star! I’ve been to Aurelio’s in the South Loop, South Suburbs of Chicago, NW Indiana, Colorado and Vegas and the service, quality and atmosphere are top notch here. In fact, we used to go to the old location in Naples and were always puzzled as to why the quality wasn’t up to par… Found out the other location was stripped of their franchise rights because they did not use the correct ingredients (trying to cut costs).
Just had the server Carlos, who was outstanding! He even offered to warm our left over pizza as we walked around the mall! Great job anticipating the needs of the customer.

Rough start as we stood waiting, then were ignored by a staff member who walked by us. I smiled at him but he kept walking past us to take an order from a take out at the bar. We waited and saw no one around, my husband took menus and we sat ourselves. Thoughts were to leave, (you get the feeling you may get burned), but we stayed, adventurous couple that we are.
When the server came, we asked if the man was the manager. He said no, it was the bartender. Now it made sense, he wouldn’t make money seating us. We got into a discussion with the server and from that point on, the tide turned for the better.
He was smart to notify the manager, who came to our table. Manager Eric was great, he apologized, he was warm and welcomed our suggestion to have Italian sandwiches «wet» fully dipped in the juice, the CHicago way. He made up for it all. Even surprised us by wetting my husband’s sandwich, though it is not the norm.
I came to compare the Gluten Free pizza with the old Aurelio’s downtown. Well, they won. The sauce is the difference, ordered the exact same spinach and garlic and hands down this one won my stomach over. They have 2 sizes now, personal size is only $ 7.99, plenty as it is thick and very tasty, just like a piece of pie.
My husband also likes his sandwich better than the old place. This one came with fries, not chips.
We decided we would return. The fact they offer Sierra Mist is the cherry on top.
Want to suggest that they have a Happy Hour on Fridays. Looks like they could use it, the bar was empty, maybe then the Bartender will smile more too.

Growing up in the ‘burbs of Chicago, this was one of my favorite places to get a pie. I was shocked when we discovered that there was an Aurelio’s in Naples and had to try it.
I gotta say, the flavors were similar, they ship the ingredients in from Chicago, but it just wasn’t the same. The crust was thicker, and the consistency was just different. Maybe it really is the lake Michigan water that’s missing?
I guess if I chew it a while, then close my eyes, I can kinda get the feeling that I’m back in Chi town, but then I quickly realize I’m not. Nice try Aurelio’s, I will probably be back hoping this visit was a fluke.
