The Vitt family, which has been operating the Aurelio’s Is Pizza location at Market Plaza in East Cobb (1255 Johnson Ferry Road, next to Red Sky), has announced the restaurant was closing.
The announcement was made on Monday, the same day the doors closed for good:
We want to offer our sincere thanks for your support. We thank you for your continued business over these last few months.
It is with great regret that we must inform you that we will be closing the Marietta Aurelio’s, as of today.
We have enjoyed our time running Aurelio’s of Marietta and considered it a pleasure to be a part of so many family memories.
We loved making your perfect pizza recipes, and we will miss it very much! Thank you for the support. We will miss you all.
Paul Vitt, a native of the Chicago area, opened the Chicago-style franchise on Johnson Ferry Road in June 2011.
The reaction from customers—more than 200 comments and running—was overwhelming, a mix of sadness, shock and gratitude for what for many was their favorite local pizzeria:
“I am heartbroken, it was a good run Mr. Vitt, wish you the best my friend…..thanks for the memories and the best pie ever…”
“My family and I moved here from Chicago. The Marietta Aurelio’s gave us a little taste of home. It will be very much missed.”
“This is our favorite pizza place and this is a big loss for East Cobb.”
“This may be the very worst news of 2020 and that is saying something. We are devastated that you’re going!!”
