Aurelio's Pizza

Reviews & Tips

  It's nostalgic to come here for me. It's old, it's by no means fancy, the kids playroom looks like a nightmare (but the kids are happy)... only lame, domestic beers on tap. But seriously the best pizza sauce in the Midwest. By far the best pizza in Macomb. I like sitting upstairs and spying on kids' awkward dates below!

  I've been eating here since 1989 when they were next to the old hotel on the same block. I've moved away from Macomb but go back here every time i'm in town. Monday night is buy one get the next half off. The pizza is unique and fabulous!! The ambiance can be a bit busy, but it's a collage pizzeria ... what do you expect? Great play area for the kids and easy parking. Sorry no valet parking :(

  I took my son, my brother and his kids to Aurelio's last night. We were greeted at the door and then given the choice of a big booth or two tables pushed together. We chose the tables and were then informed that it might be a couple if minutes. It was more like one. Our waitress was friendly and quick. My brother and I ordered super chefs, a large pizza, and ice tea. My son ordered chicken strips and lemonade. My nephews split a medium cheese pizza and breadsticks. The service was quick. Our drinks cold and the breadsticks and salads perfect. When our pizza and chicken strips came they were piping hot and full of flavor! My brother remarked and his kids agreed that Champaign-Urbana doesn't have one pizza place as good as Aurelio's! I agree whole heartedly and everybody's plate was clean. Anybody coming to WIU or Macomb must stop at Aurelio's!

  This place serves up some really tasty pizza. Its far different from other types of pizza due to the blend of cheeses they use. They also serve the pizza on a cookie grate so the bottom isn't soggy. I go to Macomb once every couple years to visit family and see where my roots are from and this place is always my first stop for dinner. I have also always had good service and prices are fair. The place is large and can hold a decent crowd.

  A decent pizza for Macomb. The atmosphere can be a little stuffy at times, but given the options for Macomb, this is a pretty safe bet.

  This place has an all you can eat pizza lunch for $6! It even came with a small salad... but I don't think anyone at our table ate the salad. They had two 6 foot high heater shelves full of different pizzas. I saw all the normal ones (cheese, peperoni, etc) plus some cool combination like a green pepper mushroom (tasty!). They even had a dessert pizza with cherry sauce that was pretty good. There was always a line of folks waiting for pizza, but they never seemed to be out of anything. Constantly replacing pizzas.
  
  All the pizzas I tried were thin crust, which is what I prefer. It was crunchy at the end, but not all the way through. They also have a regular menu, but who can beat a lunch so cheap? The staff was really friendly. Our waiter came by a few times and our empty plates disappeared quickly. When we paid the guy at the register started cracking jokes with us and told us to come back soon. With so much pizza and a location right on the square I'll be back for seconds.
