Came to this place because I was staying down the street for work.  The pizza was good, but my server was excellent!  Not only did she apologize to me for being busy (not a bad thing, maybe under-staffed) but comp'd me an item for having to wait.  I wish I had gotten her name so I could give her props for being awesome, (all I remember is she had shorter black hair, and super sweet!)  I am not shocked at the other reviews since it did seem there wasn't enough servers for the amount of people, but this girl was running her  backside off!
I guarantee I will be back, should I have to come back to Indiana in the future!
Totally concur with the KID factor. The ambiance in THIS Aurelio's is HORRIBLE ageeing with others. Sound seems to AMPLIFY throughout the room and get louder and louder. Any visit to THIS location has always yielded LOUD KIDS. Not a RELAXING place to kick back and eat or have an adult beverage. HELL you NEED an adult beverage to deal with the UN-NEEDED - UN-WANTED dining room drama here.

Seriously, this place sucks major balls. I don't know what's wrong with the Munster location. Every other Aurelio's I've been to is awesome, especially the Hammond location with their tasty lunch buffet that I sometimes frequent when I have an afternoon off from work.
Anyway, back to the Munster Aurelio's. It's not really THAT bad; it's not, like, inedible-bad; but it truly is a major disappointment when you compare it to the Homewood, Hammond, and Dyer locations. The sauce tastes like I just spewed out some stomach acid after eating a couple of rancid tomatoes (where's that characteristic sweet Aurelio's sauce taste? hmm?).
AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE SAUSAGE! I'm not sure if this is even sausage. I think someone just played a cruel, cruel joke on me once when I ordered a sausage pizza, and instead of dicing up some Italian sausage, someone just chewed up a McDonald's hamburger patty, spit it out into a sausage casing, then threw it is a pot of boiling water.
Also, I feel like the whole ambiance of this place is a letdown. It's supposed to be a fun family pizzeria, and truthfully, it's just kind of dumpy.
Sorry Aurelio's of Munster, but you've got some major shaping up to do!
It had been nearly a decade since I'd eaten at Aurelio's and volunteered Aurelio's when my parents suggested pizza during a recent visit. Â The pizza is as awesome as I remembered: the deliciously sweet sauce with that elusive spice combination was in full effect. Â
That said, if Yelp allowed separate ratings for food and service, I'd give the food 4 stars and the service/ambiance 0.
Unfortunately, we chose to head there on a Saturday in the summer, which apparently meant that every person from age 5 to 45 in the area who happened to be celebrating a birthday was doing so there. Â This meant that there were kids EVERYWHERE, screaming like maniacs--and their guardians weren't much quieter. Â I get that it's a "family pizzeria," but the decibel level was intense. Equally annoying was that our server was so swamped dealing with large parties that she pretty much forgot we existed.
However, because I enjoy bizarre juxtapositions, I was very pleased that all of the TV screens in the place were tuned to some Access Hollywood-type show doing a special report on plastic surgery. Â There's something so right about watching a woman have her thighs lasered or her breasts implanted directly above a young girl opening presents. Â But since I don't imagine most customers have the same sick sense of humor as I do, I'm betting from the looks on a few patrons' faces, that most were pretty disgusted to watch fat get sucked through a tube while they ate their pizzas.
So, yeah, next time in the area and craving Aurelio's, I'll order carryout or delivery to spare my eardrums the screeches of children and adults with absolutely no manners.
