Gluten Free at Aurelio's Pizza

Celiac friendly?

No

I did not get sick, however I did not like the pizza, I'd prefer the Sabbasto's Frozen Gluten Free Pizza from Costco over this.

Wonderful family owned restaurant with delicious food! I have celiac and a dairy allergy and have been coming here for years and never had any issues! I’ve gotten to know the staff well and they treat me like family every time I’m there. They are great for GF takeout and delivery as well.

Decided to update my review from 2 years ago. I tend to stay away from pizza places due to the increased risk of CC. I have eaten here numerous times with no reaction. I have had appitizes, pizza, and pasta. All yummy and reasonably priced. An added bonus is they have Glutenberg beer!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Only had a gluten free pizza crust waitress not sure if they even had that but pizza was prepared properly

The staff was terrible, didn’t like her assistance. I asked for GF options and she said there’s no pizza. I saw just a soft bread stick in menu, but I didn’t fell safe to order

The GF pizza is awesome! Not the typical small 10 inch thin same tasting pizza. It’s the real deal.

Gluten Free Cheese was delicious, I was surprised they had the option.

Fantastic pizza!!! Visiting Chicago and tried them on a whim. Highly recommend

Ate their gluten free cheese pizza last night and my daughter and I (both celiac) were up all night extremely sick. We were both glutened. Too bad because it tasted great. We will not order from here again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Three celiacs ate dinner here. We had a nice experience. The portions are huge which is nice. We were able to eat leftovers the next day. My daughter ordered a large salad. The other two split a spinach and artichoke dip that was wonderful with homemade chips. We also had gluten-free pizza. The pizza wasn't the best I've ever had but was still really good. The server was very friendly and seemed to know what she was doing. She asked how the gluten-free pizza was. No one got sick. All in all a great experience and we would come again.

Multiple staff were not knowledgeable about what items were gluten free. They didn’t have any gluten free pastas like the Addison location does. I was very disappointed.

I’ve eaten here four times. I’ve only gotten sick once. Their gf pizza is pretty good. But if you’re really sensitive cross contamination could be a problem.

Yes

I hadn't eaten here in over a year, since the last time it seemed difficult to get to speak to a manager about cross contamination.. I had to go through the waitress, who was nice but not knowledgeable enough. This time it was much better. We went on January 6th (Sunday) at around 4:30 pm. The waitress we had was excellent and she willingly brought me the manager who meticulously went over the process of how they minimize cross contamination. She said they can use separate ingredients and change gloves, etc. They now have a new crust which is much better and more normal of a pizza crust. We were concerned about the fact that the new crust is round like their regular pizza and we may get served the wrong one, but she reassured us that the GF ones have a distinct edging around them and she was right! We will definitely go back again!

This is probably the worst pizza I have ever eaten. 6" personal pizza that was tasteless. No gf pasta. Only gf is pizza and salad. Don't waist your time or money. Cost us $40 for 2 6" pies with 2 with 2 extra toppings and salad.

No longer Kinnikinic crust. Does not taste as good, and I am more concerned about the GF status of the crust. I have eaten it but with uneasiness.

This place is the real deal. Best pizza ever. Highly recommended!

GLUTENBERG BEER FOR 5 DOLLA! THE BEST PASTA FOR AN EXTREMELY PRICE OF 14 DOLLARS! SO MANY DESSERT OPTIONS THAT I HAVE TO COME BACK AND TRY, INCLUDING A GLUTEN FREE OREO AND CREAM GELATO!!! THIS IS A DREAM!!!!

The have revamped their gluten free pizza crust from when they first opened here in 2015. Had tried it a few times back then and the crust was always burnt, plus there seemed to be a cross contamination issue in the kitchen as I never felt good the next day. Decided to give it another try recently (had a coupon) and was pleasantly surprised! The new crust is very tasty and best of all I felt great the next day.

Celiac friendly?

GF crust, many toppings to select from. Staff very knowledgeable about gluten. Pizza crust not the best but edible.

The pizza tasted amazing, but the day after I feel incredibly sick. I think I may have gotten glistened, but a more thorough examination might need to be conducted to say for sure.

No

I️ ordered a gluten free pizza with green peppers & mushrooms and a side salad with fresh spinach and mushrooms and the house Italian dressing (GF) on the side. I️ did inform our server that I️ had celiac and was assured the chef would take precautions.There is a disclaimer on the menu that their pizza crust is gluten free but that they cannot guarantee against cross contamination. I️ should have followed my initial instincts and just ordered the salad. Within an hour after eating the pizza I was really sick. Been sick for 2 days. Celiacs and gluten sensitive people be wary. Gave them two stars for good service and because the food was tasty even though it made me sick.

The sausage was good, but the crust was OK. Not bad but nothing to write home about. Our service was also exceptionally slow even though they were not busy. I waited a good 20 minutes to try to get another drink and ultimately just gave up. Also, this was really expensive for pizza. Two dollars for each additional topping?? It was an additional six bucks to just get sausage mushroom onion? Seems gratuitous for a small pizza.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was recommended to me by a fellow celiac, the owner at THIS location has actually set up a complete separate preparation area for GF foods. The pizza is amazing, So is the spin dip! Ive tried a few other things too, without issues. The one time I did have a reaction I came in and sat down. So I recommend getting food Togo, as out of the 100x I’ve gotten Togo I’ve never had a problem. Staff is super friendly too. Never had a bad service experience.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome gluten free pizza! Take out comes un-cut to prevent cross contamination. I'm extremely sensitive with celiac's and have never experienced a problem. Delicious crust, sauce & toppings!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent and knowledgeable. Nothing beats Aurelio's Super Six, and I am so grateful that it's not just a memory from my pre-gluten free days since they now have it gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome GF pizza!! Totally celiac safe!

I love Aurelio's. By far the best gluten free pizza I've ever had. I always look forward to eating there with friends when I'm in town. Their bar selection is great as well. I had one terrible experience here that was service related, but I'm writing in hoping that it was a fluke.

My FAVORITE gluten free pizza! Ive always loved their pizza so I'm glad the gluten free is just as good. The crust tastes similar to the non gluten free, but they say its just a frozen crust.

Thin crust gluten free pizza options. Very large

Celiac friendly?

No

I eat a gluten free pizza and that was at first ok but after that I was sick. I think this restsurant was not good for someone with celiac.

Great, if you want a small personal GF pizza.

Most of my experiences there were wonderful. We once had a server forget about us and mess up our meals and we were the only table in the building. I love their pizza though and selection! The bar has a good selection as well!

My daughter was very sick after eating the gluten free pizza. If you're extremely sensitive to gluten I would not attempt to eat here.

Good pizza and a very nice owner who is always there

I grew up with an Aurelio's in my hometown in Indiana. I was excited to visit and get a GF pizza. I didn't have any reactions even with their warning about not being a certified GF facility.

Never had an issue here - they have GF pizza in 2 sizes!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really good pizza! I have celiac and I did not get sick. Not sure if anything else is gluten free in their menu but the pizza is good. Two sizes as well.

Crust was really good ... The sauce and cheese wasn't the tastiest.

I got a gluten free pizza for takeout - my goodness is it huge. The flavor was awesome and I really appreciate how accommodating they are for us gluten free folk but I got a stomachache almost immediately after eating it. I have a sensitivity (not Celiac) and usually small/trace amounts don't bother me, but for some reason this pizza did. I've had all the toppings I ordered before but it's possible I just had a reaction to something else in the crust (grains). I'm not sure if a lower review is deserved or not, which is why I only knocked off one star. Up to your interpretation!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great GF pizza. We go there every week.

Excellent food! Great flavor! Nice staff! Glad we got to experience this restaurant while in town. The gf pizza is HUGE!! It would've fed my husband and me with leftovers. We were in a hotel and the fridge froze the leftovers.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Knowledgable staff! Very delicious crust!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

By far my favorite gluten free pizza ever. Their crust, cheese and sauce are all to die for. Order it gluten free and it comes in a relatively personal size, or for 2-3 people. Definitely 5 stars, my favorite pizza ever!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My go-to delivery pizza for work. Delicious crust, wonderful and friendly delivery service. Employees are trained on cross-contamination.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have GF pizzas available in personal (4 squares) and small (12-16 squares) sizes. This is really your only option, except for salad with no croutons and make-your-own dressing with their olive oil & balsamic vinegar.

The pizza is a great fluffy crust with crispy edges. It had a subtle buttery flavor and reminds me of a homemade soft pretzel dough. this place uses real cheese, and lots of it! highly recommend. price is about $15 for small two topping. definitely will go again.
