Aurelio’s of Lockport

Go for the pizza Nothing anywhere near here even comes close. Outstanding! Sevice is always very good. Expect even the largest size in less than 15 minutes.

This place never fails to fail. It’s close by so we end up here frequently.
The kitchen served our entrees a good 15 minutes apart. My meatball sandwich was obviously done first since it came out room temperature. It bore little resemblance to most meatball sandwiches, having the dimension (small) and tightly wrapped appearance of a nasty Tom-​Tom Tamale. It tasted ok once warmed.
On the other hand, the broasted chicken, usually a favorite here, was overlooked, hard and dry.
I can’t fault the server, but the kitchen is another story. Unfortunately, I’m sure I’ll be back given its proximity.

I’ve always considered Aurelio’s the gold standard of Chicago-​area pizza, among other places like Palermo’s. I miss the old location they used to have around 143^rd and Wolf Road in Orland Park.
We had a coupon for a couple discounted pies and decided to order our version of an «everything» and then a sausage, partially baked («par-​baked») so we could take it to our cousins house and finish the cooking process there. A fresh ‘za would’ve been cold by the time we drove it back from the Mokena or Lockport locations.
Everything came out exactly how we remember. The quality, taste and fresh ingredients appeared to be identical to the great pizzas we ordered when Aurelio’s was in Orland Park. The crust is usually a little crispy on the bottom and edges, the cheese is rich but not excessively piled on, the sauce has a nice zing to it, and the ingredients were all fresh, not canned like some other places.
Our version of the «everything» pizza has mushrooms, onions, sausage and green peppers, with a little extra sauce. We found that this combination blends together excellently.
Aurelio’s is comparatively expensive. We had a coupon and were able to save a few dollars. Aurelio’s is definitely quality pizza though.

The worst!!! Stay away!!! 12 dollar chicken Alfredo 1 piece of processed chicken, chicken Caesar salad easy to make with 3 items salad processed chicken and cheese. Wow quality has taken a nosedive !!!

Living in the Chicagoland area my entire life and have been exposed to a number of great pizza places, I will say Aurelio’s is one of my favorite this crust pizza places. Never disappointed!

Terrible pizza. Have had much better Aurelio’s at tinley park, home wood and Frankfort. This location definitely disappoints. Very greasy, lacks flavor and way overpriced.

This location always close to perfect. Today’s visit was great also as I enjoyed a free pizza foe my upcoming birthday. Our server Kristina was great even though she was the only server on this slower afternoon.
Pizza was perfect and the dinner salad was fresh and tasty.
Looking forward to our next visit.

This is the go to pizza place. They use the best ingredients, everything is quality! Aurelios as a franchise makes great pizza but this place stands out, it has the best thin crust pizza in all of Lockport, I’ve never had a bad pizza from here absolutely love it apitiz the sauce is boss, best sauce in the business, cheese is the best too, it’s a little pricey but sooooo worth it, 1000% better than Giordano’s.makes Manga pizza look like poop pizza.
Best ever

We arrived on a Monday evening at 6:30 with a party of (4) for dinner. I apparently missed the drink order by stoping in the restroom. However, the server asked what I wanted to drink when she brought back the beverages for the others. I asked for a water. We ordered a large dinner salad, which according to the menu says iceberg and romaine lettuce and I had requested just romaine lettuce please and no croutons.
We also ordered a gluten free pizza with extra sauce and toppings. Garlic bread, wings, and a fiesta pizza.
The salad arrived. It appeared to just be iceberg when I brought it up to the server on her second trip back with garlic bread she said oh the menus wrong and walked away. She then came back to drop off the wings. The server came back again to clear plates before bringing pizzas. Still no water! After a few bites into the pizza she inquired if we could get anything else. I asked for my water again. My extra sauce pizza had so little sauce which was a joke considering I made a point to ask for more. The fiesta pizza had enough sauce without any request for extra that it was dripping off onto the plate.
At the end when we got the check for $ 71.08 we paid $ 100 cash and asked for just $ 10 back. The server had the nerve to say I’ll bring back $ 9!
Poor quality food. Bad service and I can’t believe we were tipping as much as we were considering the entire stay. However, to be negotiated down like at a garage sale, telling me I will make my tip even higher. Will never go there again. I hope after others reading you’ll choose elsewhere too. If there was a way to give less then 1 star we would.

Tried the gluten free pizza and it was really tasty. Reasonably priced as well. Quick on delivery! Ordered and told within the hour and it arrived in 40 minutes

Not a fan. I thought the $ 6.99 buffet for lunch was a great deal. Especially since the Bourbonnais location has such fresh and ample food. I walked in at 1 in the afternoon and I was it. One and done. I walk back to the buffet and there are 4 dried out pizzas and a couple old chicken strips. The cheese on the pies started to get hard. A new sausage pizza was brought out, but that wasn’t even warm and looked as old as the others. Not a good deal if the food has been sitting around gets hard.

Ordered pizza and bosco sticks (cheese filled bread sticks) for lunch yesterday. Everything is overpriced and everything came burnt. The $ 8 breadsticks were so burnt they weren’t even edible. Pizza crust was also burnt and had no flavor. Paid $ 50 for one large pizza, personal pizza, and breadsticks. Probably one of the worst tasting pizzas I’ve ever had. Will not be ordering again ever.

When we arrived, there was a party going on in the back room that was extremely loud and boisterous with children leaving the party room and throwing balls at the pictures on the walls. The wait service was very inattentive. The food was just okay. We ordered the calabrese and they cut it before it had time to set, so it was a goopy mess. Very sad.

Just picked up my food. I got ravioli with bread. I opened up my bread and clear as day there was mold on the top of it. The fact that you had to look at the top of it while you wrapped it and they still served it is discussing. I called them to let them know about the bread, and all they offered me was a credit for a salad. The girl held an awkward silence on the phone as well. Will never be going back!!!

This is the best Aurelio’s around by far, especially for gluten-​free eaters. They offer gf pizza, breadsticks, and chicken fingers. All are amazing! This is absolutely our favorite gf pizza, and we are willing to make the 20min drive to get it. There’s a nice eat-​in restaurant (with bar) or takeout options. We would be over-​the-​moon if they offered gf dessert. I believe they have ice cream. Highly recommend this location to eat-​in or carry out.

Lunch buffet is a joke. For $ 6.95 you get scraps. They do not do a good job at all keeping food in the line, and when something is finally brought out, all the hungry vultures snatch it up (they are hungry too I guess!). Today was the 2^nd time I’ve been there specifically foe the buffet, with the same results. I tried to give them a 2^nd chance, but shame on me.

My favorite pizza I’ve ever had. Gotta be the sauce. So sweet and delish. Never lets me down.

This review is specific to the lunch buffet. The lunch buffet is priced cheaply, but in this case, you will get what you pay for. The food was just so-​so. Even my two teens did not «dig in» as they normally would for a buffet. Also, for a Friday, there were only a few other customers so maybe the food turnover was slow, meaning the food was sitting out longer. However, perhaps the reason there were only a few customers was because this buffet is not up to par. Finally, even the service was somewhat disappointing. There were long periods of time between waitress visits. Although this buffet was priced very well, I will not be back.

Aurelio’s is the only place in the area worthy of our family’s pizza budget. Actually, I’m hard-​pressed to think of another restaurant anywhere that I’ve had better pizza. Aurelio’s offers a good variety of toppings (which we’ve always found to be fresh and tasty), use quality meats and cheeses, and their thin crust is perfectly-​textured; just the right combination of crispy and chewy.
This location does have a dining room, as well as a variety of menu items aside from pizza, but I can’t speak to either. We order from Aurelio’s a few times a month, and whether it’s delivery or carry-​out, the pizza is consistently amazing and the service is always fast and courteous.
