Went here for dinner around 6:00pm on a Monday. Seating was no problem.
For appetizer we had the Bruschetta - it was pretty good. Decent sized portion. It came with melted cheese on top which was surprising to me, but I liked it.
We also ordered a large mushroom pizza. It was thin-crust and pretty decent size. It was also cut into squares, which I liked.
I was pleasantly surprised when I found out they had cannoli on the dessert menu. We took an order (4 cannoli) to go. They are finger-sized two-biters. Unfortunately, the cannoli doesn't have the typical sweet, creamy filling. They have flavors like chocolate mousse, peanut-butter cup, and cappuccino. They're decent, but not what I really wanted.
We had a lackluster waiter so it wasn't the best experience, but the overall the food was pretty good.
3 stars for an A-OK rating. I would recommend this to friends and will visit them again when in the mood for a good thin-crust pizza.
For Pepsi lovers... they do serve Pepsi products. ;) -

Don't go to Aurelio's if you like good food. We went Aurelio's last Friday night and the food was truly horrible. My Mother -In-Law ordered the meatball sub and the meatballs were rock hard and totally inedible. When we politely complained about the meatballs our waiter told us that the manager would come out and talk to us but the manager never appeared. My son's pizza was so bad I don't even know where to start. I had the Fettuccini which was OK but tasted like it came out of can as did the dressing on my side salad.
I'm sad that our last night on vacation was ruined by such a terrible meal. Wish we had checked the Yelp reviews before going. -

On a quest to find a great pizza place in Fort Myers. This is not it. Had two large carry out pizzas on New Years Eve. One with pepperoni and one with mushroom. You could not really tell it was a mushroom pizza. Definitely skimped on the toppings. I can't place what bothered me the most about the taste....was it the crust or was it the cheeses? I could not tell. The crust was not crispy like I prefer. The sauce was too salty. The whole combination did nothing for my taste buds. They also cut the round pizza into little squares which I did not like. That way you can not get the crust with ever piece which is my fav part. I can tolerate that on a Ledo's pizza but not on this one. They were also quite expensive. I did order a spinach salad and that was good. It was very fresh. However my quest is not for a good fresh salad.
So my quest will continue the next time I am in town. I am reading Yelp reviews and deciding where I will be going! Hopefully when I return I will be victorious! -

We ordered cheesy bread and taco pizza. I didn't like the taco pizza to salty and its not good left over pizza either. Taco pizza has lettuce on top and doesn't microwave or toaster oven well. I will have to order another kind of pizza if I decide to eat there again. The cheesy bread was ok, not bad.

Gluten free pizza heaven! Finally found the BEST GF pizza anywhere AND cheap! $6.75 for a 6'. Crust, chesse, sauce, fresh spinach, it all works.
ALSO, found the BEST root beer on tap!!!! Oh yea! No ice, the way its meant to be, and only $2 !
My hubby flipped over the lunch buffet $9.95, M-F till 3pm, all you can eat, pizza, salad, soup, bread, fruit, desserts AND a drink too! He says the pizza is good but not the same recipe as the one in Naples.
So happy we finally found a place to eat that we BOTH can enjoy! There IS a God! and I say Thank you! (Now, please don't shut down, with those prices I fear you will)
OH.. I ordered another to take home and bake! I'm freezing some of it, much cheaper and better than what they sell frozen! I will probably see you there, so worth the trip up! -

Yet another corporate pizza joint in Fort Myers? What were they thinking? What was I thinking? Why did I bother to go in?
Well, I figured they had not been reviewed yet in YELP, so I thought I'd give it a try!
Was I rewarded for my effort? Well, the word "average" comes screaming to mind. But even that is a bit of a stretch.
There are tons of TVs tuned to sports channels - a common corporate recipe for success that is so ubiquitous that's it's completely passe now - so last year!
So how's the ambiance? Well, it's just fine if you like plastic-wood looking cookie cutter booths & a breezy hostess who will whisk you to the nearest booth and quickly return to her station to continue to do nothing. The waiter, though, was attentive and pleasant.
Since this is a pizza place, I tried their their thin crust 6" pizza with sausage. It tasted just fine, although it was not as depicted on the menu. The menu depicts a completely thin flat crust on a wooden serving board. Mine came on a miniature cake rack (I'm not kidding) on a little plate and the edges were thick, like it had been baked in a bowl of some kind. A little weird - certainly not the usual Euro type that I've come to like.
So that's it. Some will like this place, I think. It will be a good place for FGCU students to hang out after an event. They offer them a 10% discount and free delivery, so perhaps that is their niche.
I doubt I'll return... -

Kim waited on us and I believe that this is why I am only giving it two stars. She was slow, boring and lacked any kind of sense of urgency. We love the Naples location and after this experience would prefer that location over this one.

Horrible service. No one wanted to wait on us outside. Didn't bring us plates or refills on drinks. And it took forever to get check. My husband and I could have walked out and they wouldn't have noticed. The only good thing was the food. Stuffed pizza with meatballs was good.

Good pizza...OK atmosphere.
If you are looking for a romantic dinner this would not be the place to go.
However if you have someone who cannot eat gluten and is looking for the elusive GF pizza you have to come here.
We went on Valentine's Day night and I was afraid that we would be waiting forever but only had to wait for 15 min. We were greeted by an enthusiastic balloon sculptor who made my kids crazy balloon creatures.
We had the antipasto and it was very good, heavy on the lettuce and olives (yum for me).
We ordered a large thin crust pizza for most of the table while my GF son got the GF 6" pizza. Their pizza is OK but we were mainly there so my son could eat a real treat safely. He ate the whole thing without hesitation and if he doesn't like something he is the first to say something. The pizza was somewhat salty, which I really like and was scorching hot when it came out.
They do offer bake at home for both the regular and GF pizzas (doesn't taste as good as when they bake it) or traditional take out.
We came here last year when we were in Ft. Myers and the first night we were back this year we went again.
