Aurelio’s Pizza Crown Point becomes a Shop Local Network Mission Partner

Leave a comment

Aurelio’s Pizza, located at 1900 N. Main St in Crown Point, is the perfect place to go for great customer service and even better food.

Crown Point, IN, August 30, 2018 – Aurelio’s Pizza, located at 1900 N. Main St in Crown Point, is the perfect place to go for great customer service and even better food. Nick Bello, president of The Shop Local Network stated, “I consider myself a pizza expert and Aurelio’s is one of the best. You can tell they use only the best ingredients.”

On August 20, 1959, the first Aurelio’s Pizza opened its doors at 2041 Ridge Rd in Homewood, Illinois. This small storefront had just enough room for about 4 tables and a small kitchen with one pizza oven. In 1959, Pizza was a relatively new concept. Joe would sell 6 or 7 pizzas a day, but Joe’s home cooked Italian beef sandwiches kept him going. Joe made some changes to the dough and sauce recipe and began using fresh, homemade Italian sausage rather than pre-cooking it. These changes made quite a difference and pizza sales began to grow. Joe persevered by working 7 days a week, as cook, waiter and delivery guy, while building his reputation and customer loyalty day by day, one customer at a time.

Aurelio’s Pizza in Crown Point offers a wide variety of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, and desserts. They also have a mobile app to be able to win rewards.

“This place makes incredible pizzas, especially their thin crust. Whatever cheese blend they’re using is amazing. And they aren’t shy with the toppings; they pile them on. We had their chicken wings to start, which had great flavor and some good spicy heat. We had four hungry people in our party and ordered way too much food. The thin crust fiesta size pizza is their largest and can easily feed 4-6 people. Their medium thin crust can feed 3-4. And their 10″ stuffed pizza can feed 2-3. Super fresh ingredients and the flavor and toppings were so well balanced. Their wait staff was so friendly and helpful. The facility and restrooms are clean. AND, bonus: they have a pinball machine in the back! Next time I’m in Crown Point, I will definitely stop by.” Jenna A. said.

So, are you ready to have a new favorite pizza place? Stop in to Aurelio’s today to see what they have for you! Give them a call or go to their website for more information.

The Shop Local Network welcomes Jalapeno’s in Schererville as a new Shop Local Mission Partner

Leave a comment

Jalapeno’s Restaurant, located at 200 US-41 in Schererville, Indiana, is committed to serving its guests with authentic and traditional Mexican dishes.

LaPorte, Indiana, June 07, 2018 – Jalapeno’s Restaurant, located at 200 US-41 in Schererville, Indiana, is committed to serving its guests with authentic and traditional Mexican dishes. Nick Bello, President of The Shop Local Network states, “When you walk through the doors, you can tell they are the real deal. The food is amazing and their loyalty rewards program keep you coming back!”

Some of their classic Mexican foods include tamales, enchiladas, and fajitas. The food at Jalapeno’s restaurant compliments the memorable flavors from the stand in Mexico. They also have a family oriented and authentic atmosphere.

Being in a Northwest Indiana neighborhood, they are able to offer affordable, yet traditional dishes including enchiladas, steak tacos and chilesrellenos, plus more ambitious fare like steak Milanesa and Camarones Al Mojo De Ajo. There are margaritas in fruity flavors like mango and strawberry, plus about 70 tequilas for those who prefer their agave solo. They serve only the finest meats and the freshest vegetables. They make their food from scratch using only the freshest ingredients available. They create their own recipes mixing old recipes and contemporary ones. They also offer seating on the patio that has an outside bar and waterfalls. Jalapeno’s also offers catering. For those who wish to stay after dinner for a fun evening, they offer karaoke, live music, and some of the areas top djs.

So if you just want to stop in for a margarita and some great food or make it an entire evening, Jalapenos has got you covered.

One customer Bill Norris stated, “We are always on the hunt for great food. Being foodies we get leary of a commercialized location like most chain stores that claim to be authentic. When an authentic family member tells you it reminds him of his childhood, it is probably a good indication. Very good traditional food.Big selections of tequilas.Friendly, knowledgeable waitstaff.Reasonable prices. Definitely for goes previous skepticism,”

Something that is kind of unique, if you write a google review for this restaurant, the owner responds to all of the comments. It doesn’t matter if the comment is good or bad, he will thank the customer, or he will apologize if someone was unhappy and make a suggestion.

So, are you ready to go eat some authentic Mexican food? You can go to their website or give them a call to see their hours or hear about their current specials.
