The food is good, but the service is always lacking. I end up waiting forever for a salad or something because there aren't enough people working on orders that they've had in the queue for 45 mins. The phone is always busy so it's impossible to get a hold of anybody most of the time, and then when they answer the person is generally miserable. The employees always seem miserable too... I want to love this place, and I love their pizza, but the service and timeliness and organization of the restaurant is severely lacking. Also, if you're going to make it basically impossible to call you to order (seriously, we've tried 45 times) you should implement online ordering read more

Adam is a great person and the food is great. Walk your meal next door to the Apothecary Brewery. Win Win.

While they've raised their prices, their pizzas are solid (but not "gourmet"). Just a decent, non-pretentious, neighborhood pizza joint, in Claymont. (So, please don't get a big head and raise your prices even more. ;-) Our issue is that their employees can be a little rude and impatient - but the new guy who they've recently hired seems much nicer than the other guys. He puts us at ease when we order. (Remember, good, polite customer service can REALLY help a small business...that's something that "working-class" businesses always seem to forget, or not care about.) Their cheesesteaks and strombolis are decent, too. (But we think they may have changed their stromboli recipe recently - they don't taste as good as 1 year ago. Their cheese seemed "off". ) But we certainly recommend their sausage & mushroom pizza, because their pepperoni pizzas can get a little greasy. ( We recommend they get better quality pepperoni .) In short, Charlie's is great for a casual pizza "take-out night" with friends, while watching crazy, old movies. read more

Been looking for good pizza in Wilmington and Charlies came highly recommended based on social media reviews. We ordered a white pizza, half pepperoni pizza, fries and a steak sandwich. I was a little disappointed in the pizzas. The white had decent flavor, but was a bit dry. The half pepperoni was decent, but it seemed the dough had too much sugar, and even the cheese had a bit too much sweetness. The sauce wasn't bad. The fries were good-crinkle cut. The steak sandwich had really good flavor, but for almost $10 I thought there would've been more meat. If it weren't for the hype I wouldn't have tried it, as it's a bit far from my house, but, it's still better than a lot of Delaware pizza. I had my rating set at three stars while writing, but the taste of the fries and steak made me change to four stars. read more

Pizza and wings are fantastic from here. Love that they are open on Sundays now under the new ownership.

Have had this pizza twice, ordered and delivered to a buddy's hours right down the road. Style is big NY style slices on thin crust and big crust with flour on it. Thin sauce and cheese. I didn't get a chance either time to get a picture of the pizza but just imagine your standard pie. read more

New owners are doing an Excellent job!!! I Highly recommend. Charlie's Pizza is one of the best restaurants in Claymont!! Check it out yourself! read more

Great pizza for a hole in the wall joint. I order extra and heat it up the next day. I like the wings too. read more

Not a good experience whatsoever. First visit and the pizza was overcooked badly . I never in my entire life bit into a slice of pizza where the cheese was so hard . My man had gas for damn near 24 hours . We ordered pizza and wings and it was trash . Wings were not fully cooked . read more

I got the cheesesteak. Little Delaware is coming up big in the cheesesteak game!! Everything was great but I would have liked a little more meat. Charlie's will definitely be in my personal rotation. Alot of fried onions gave this CS a different texture and taste. read more

The pizza is good, but not consistently good. When its good, you get that thin crust fresh oven pizza you ordered. When its bad, you get air bubbles throughout the pizza. Nobody likes air bubbles in their bread. Sadly, I've been getting the bad pizzas more frequently. Last time the air bubble was so bad it took two slices of my pizza and it was burnt in the middle. read more

Charlie's Pizza - Pepperoni and anchovies large pizza - Pizza Near Me - Claymont, Delaware

Amazing pizza we love it here. The sauce is where all the magic and makes it different the all other pizza. The Hawaiian pizza with the add a bacon was so good, especially when you see the owner even in the shop working. Always go back I moved a little further and I still go back and buy my pizza there. I love that they have an incentive when you buy so much pizza they give you one. They have so many different and special types of Premium pizza. When you're all done the sauce and cheese in the tasty pizza, the crust is a pleasant finish, it's nice and soft and taste as well. read more

We like the meatball parm but when we do get a pizza we never had a bad one. I never used to take the garlic sauce till one day & now I never pass it up & I eat the crust now read more

I tried Charlie's Pizza based on numerous rave reviews. I was less than enthused and once was enough for me. Charlie's has quite odd hours and I was told it can be difficult to get them on the phone, though when I called they picked up pretty quickly. I was underwhelmed when I got my pizza from Charlie's. We ordered a medium pepperoni pizza, (I'm not sure quite when we actually ordered, but it was probably Summer 2020). It was the greasiest pizza I've ever had. I had to use numerous paper towels to soak up the oil from the top for it to be edible, and I usually only need one (two for Grotto's - the greasiest I've had till now). That the pizza was hot and, well, --pizza--was the most I could say for it. Like sex, bad pizza is still, well, pizza. I'm a big believer in second chances. It's entirely possible Charlie's may have improved in the past two years, and maybe I got them on a bad day. But my experience with them was enough that I don't need to go back to try them again. read more

We recently moved to N Wilmington from DELCO and We like the pizza and cheese steaks from Charlie's.

Okay, Charlie's Pizza, I'll bite. This was my second time ordering from them. They're a bit cursory on the phone but likely because they are busy churning out yummy pizza and answering the phone isn't that fun anyways. I found them on Yelp and their cheese pizza is delicious. Our friend who is a Claymonster claims it's the best Jersey-style pizza in Delaware. I'm not sure what that means but I'll take it and eat it. Their cheesesteaks are good too. read more

To be honest there food is amazing that's why they got a 4 Stars but I think your lucky enough to be able to get ahold of somebody on there phone. I called 10 times on 8/22 and got no response . Oh don't worry there hours are wrong to on google. They pretty much open and close whenever they please. The reason I know is because I work and live 5 min away from Charlie's and they don't even open till 2 . Too bad People at my work have money and are looking for new spots to eat lunch and this would be it if they knew how to answer a phone. read more

I order here all the time the food is so good!!! They have these wings called killler wings and they are super spicy and live up to their name. And the cheesesteaks are phenomenal . But the only thing that bothers me is that nobody wears gloves. I also wish they had a delivery service but it's okay. read more

Some people may like an enormous amount of food slopped on a hard roll I'm not one of these people. Ordered. Mini tuna sub pretty big for a mini. Tuna salad bland. No flavor at all. The photo says it all. I scooped off the equivalent of an entire can of tuna off my sandwich. Maybe ill save it for another day will definitely never spend another dime at this place. Subway is an upgrade and I depise. The chains. read more

We are from New York, currently living in claymont. Ordered from a few different pizza places in the area and wasn't pleased. Charlie's pizza offers great tasting New York style Pizza. They are mine and my family's Favorite here in Claymont Delaware! read more

I've given this spot my business 3 times prior to writing this review, and here's the simple truth. The pizza is good, but the service just doesn't hit the mark. The service alone makes me hesitant to go back. An order takes about an hour in total (on a Friday or Saturday night) but when your on the phone they say only about 20 minutes. I'd rather be told it takes an hour so I can plan my arrival accordingly. Two of the three times, they couldn't even find my order. On top of that, spoke rudely to me like I had made the error. Once they found the order, they did seem to be apologetic. I would go here in a pinch, and because the pizza is good I'm giving 3 stars. But there are other places around that make just as good pizza, maybe better, and treat you well. read more

Really good pizza! Probably the best in Wilmington and maybe even Delaware. Sauce is sweet and pizza is doughy but very good! Floppy pizza but no sign of geese which is great! Def my new go to for pizza! read more

I was trying to place an order at 8:25pm and they told me they stopped taking orders at 8:30pm...they didn't take my order. Bad customer service. read more

Well, the "killer" wings definitely live up to the name. I am a huge wing eater, and love to find the next spot with hot hot hot wings, and I found my new favorite. I asked for 20 wings, killer, extra sauce. I made it thru 10. They were stupid hot, in a good way. They had great flavor too, but when my eyes are tearing, nose is dripping, and mouth is burning, I know I've found the one. So if you're looking for hot wings, look no further, I promise you won't be disappointed. I also had a medium pizza with prosciutto, the flavor was excellent and I was very pleased with it too! No delivery, which is the only downside, but if you feel like moving your ass of the couch, you'll be surprised to find this hidden gem in claymont. read more

I have been very disappointed with them recently. It says online that they close at 10pm and I call to place an order around 8pm and they say "we're done for tonight, no more orders." This has happened countless times. The food is amazing but I'm going to forget about this place if I can never order from them. At the very least, update your hours online. read more

This was the harbinger of my weekend when I was a teen, my dad and I would always get Charlie's and watch horror flicks with groups of friends very late into fri/sat night. Now that I'm older my wife and I still make the pilgrimage almost every weekend from our home 30mins away to get this amazing pizza. It's a great pizza with great folks making it and it really makes date night special! read more

The pizza is great here, if you have a problem with red sauce as I do, you will have no issues with theirs!

The cheesteaks are good , but why the hell would a pizza shop be closed at 9 on a Thursday night during an Eagles game? Smh ‍ Delaware is so ass backwards. It's like ur 20 minutes from a major metropolis but your 5 minutes from the foot hills of West Virginia. Lame ASF read more

A hidden gem located in a small strip mall in claymont. Best pizza and cheese steaks in Delaware.

This is absolutely the best cheesesteak i ever had. Only thing was one half of my sandwich had significantly more steak than the other half but i would definitely go back and order again and again read more

New to the area and had to find the best pizza and wing place. Didn't take long, one trip to charlies and we are in. Pizza was fantastic, wings are the best I have in years, and the cheesesteak really was on point as well. We were thrilled at all the food and overall very happy. read more

Charlie's Pizza - Best cheesesteak in town! - Pizza Near Me - Claymont, Delaware

Food is ok. It needs a total redo inside it's so outdated and dirty. Also, owner is very grumpy.

Charlie's is thee best pizza. Always fresh, always tasty. Charlie has been here in this location for years. If you love to support local and want the best quality, there is no question that this is your neighborhood pizza place. Enjoy!! read more

Best cheesesteaks in Delaware. This place is a I diamond in the rough and tucked away inside a strip mall. If you are looking for any amazing cheesesteak topped with American, look no further. They're made fresh, juicy, and tender. This places knows how to throw down on the grill. I am even solid on the pizza, good crust, sauce isn't chunky, and flawless execution. The mozzarella sticks did spend too much time in the fryer netting dark breading and some sticks without any cheese inside. The 5 stars is afforded to their staple foods. In my opinion, this place could really survive on cheesesteaks alone. Even close friends from Philly agree, some of the best steaks they've ever had! read more
