If you are a fan of Chicago pizza, listen up! Aurelio's is reopening here in Las Vegas and we have the president, Joe Aurelio, here to take us through the history of the restaurant and Las Vegas franchise owner Jorge Gonzalez to tell us what's going on at the big grand opening.

On Aug. 20, 1959, the first Aurelio’s Pizza opened its doors at 2041 Ridge Road in Homewood, Ill. The small storefront had just enough room for about four tables and a small kitchen with one pizza oven. In 1959, pizza was a relatively new concept. Joe would sell six or seven pizzas a day, but his home-cooked Italian beef sandwiches kept him going.
