The Aurelio's Pizza franchise system traces its origins to August 20, 1959, when the first location opened in Homewood, Illinois, in a small storefront with just enough room for about four tables and a single pizza oven. Founder Joe Aurelio initially sold six or seven pizzas a day, relying on home-cooked Italian beef sandwiches to sustain the business while refining his recipes. He changed the dough and sauce formulas and began using fresh, homemade Italian sausage instead of pre-cooked meat, which helped pizza sales grow. Joe worked seven days a week as cook, waiter, and delivery driver, building customer loyalty one person at a time. By 1962, demand required expansion into two adjoining storefronts that previously housed Shreiber's Hardware. The new space included a kitchen and bar for adults and smaller groups, while the other half accommodated parties and teenagers with a jukebox and large picnic-style seating under red and white checkerboard tables.

Today, the Aurelio family upholds Joe’s business ideals and the tradition of family, quality products, and community commitment. The menu features the Most Loved Super Six pizza with sausage, ham, pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms, and cheese, as well as the Create-Your-Own Calabrese pizza with a golden brown hand-closed crust. Customers can also order Italian beef served on toasted Italian bread, along with appetizers, salads, pasta, desserts, and drinks. The brand offers a free rewards app for online ordering and loyalty points, and provides options for gift cards, catering, and shipping.
