Stop #4.5 - Ach n Lou's Pizza Pub (Aurora)

Happy National Pizza Day!
In honor of #nationalpizzaday we thought that we would throw in another pizza place mid-week to celebrate.

Someone say outlet mall?
If you're looking for pizza around the outlet mall in Aurora, Ach n Lou's is down Farnsworth just south of I-88.  There are several options for dining - table, booth, bar, and picnic tables in the back (like a party room).  If you're in more of a rush and didn't order food to-go, you can pick up one of their frozen pizzas ($16 for a large though so a bit on the pricey side - you're better off ordering a large to go).

Agree to Disagree
This is the first time that we have gotten the pizza to-go on our #rhodepizzatour and I don't think it would have made a difference in my thoughts on the pizza.  Chris feels differently of course - watch his video review.


















The pizza looked good and it smelled good but I was not impressed with the taste.  I thought the crust was delicious though and they do offer 4 different options:
Pre-Baked (crispy)
Hand-tossed (softer style)
Ultra Thin (no raised edge; crispy)
Deep Dish
We ordered a large thin crust pepperoni and are assuming it is the pre-baked, being the house favorite.  There was a slight raised edge to the crust and it was a bit crispy but delicious.  In my opinion, the sauce was nothing too special.  We also ordered breadsticks that came with a side of marinara which we recommend.

Total people:  2
Total bill: $24 (1 large pizza & 1 order of breadsticks)

Rhode's Review - A house divided.
I don't believe dining in or carry out would make any difference in my recommendation but Chris thinks otherwise.  It was only a 20 minute drive home and we didn't have the pizza bag with us so it did get a little colder that it probably would have.  I'd be willing to try dining in to see if it would make a difference.  It just isn't the same pizza that I remember from when we ate here a few years ago.
