Aurelio’s Pizza has an impressive history, and I’m very excited that they have finally made their way to central Indiana by opening a store in Fishers in 2016. Aurelio’s was started by Joe Aurelio in Homewood, Illinois in 1959, and it remains run by the Aurelio family to this day. It was actually the first Chicago pizzeria […]

I tried extra cheese on their original crust, and I enjoyed the generous amount […]
