The original Aurelio’s Pizza opened in 1959 on Ridge Road in Homewood, a small storefront with just four tables and one oven. Joe Aurelio, the founder, began by selling a few pizzas a day but gained popularity through his homemade Italian beef sandwiches and a refined recipe using fresh, uncooked Italian sausage. His dedication to quality and service helped the business grow, leading to an expansion in 1962 when he leased adjacent storefronts. The new space included a kitchen, bar area, and a dining room designed for teenagers, featuring a jukebox and red-and-white checker-top tables. Joe remained deeply involved in every aspect of the business, working as cook, waiter, and delivery driver, building loyalty one customer at a time.

The restaurant sits on W Lake St in Addison, a central location within the city. While no nearby landmarks are listed, the address places it in a commercial corridor with access to major city roads. As a long-standing local favorite with a history spanning over six decades, Aurelio's Pizza of Addison continues to serve the community with the same commitment to quality and tradition that began in 1959.
