Founded in 1959 in Homewood, Illinois, by Joe Aurelio, the original Aurelio’s Pizza began as a small storefront with just a few tables and one pizza oven. Joe built the business through dedication, working seven days a week as cook, waiter, and delivery driver, refining his dough and sauce recipes and using homemade Italian sausage to elevate the taste. The success of his pizza and signature Italian beef sandwiches led to expansion, including the addition of adjacent storefronts in 1962 to accommodate growing demand. Over time, the brand evolved into a regional favorite, maintaining its commitment to quality and community values.
