It looks like this spot recently got renovated. We went in today for lunch and it was huge and clean! We had the sweetest server ever. It was so refreshing to have a more mature server who was just so genuine and attentive. The pizza was fantastic. I've been eating Grottos since I was a kid and I've definitely had some pies that were better than others. This location nailed it! read more

I am upping this to a 4 because we finally ate inside. My daughter still really likes this pizza, especially the barbecue chicken pizza. We all really enjoyed the fried zucchini. I really liked the Verdi boli. The service was fine. The place is clean enough. If you're looking to watch some sports, it's good to have the TVs in the background, but if you're not, it could be distracting. read more

This is the reason I don't do pizza. Under baked, doughy, and being a meat lovers pizza, the sparse sausage and hamburger was like something from any other cheap pizza. Mom loves it, and the spaghetti, I ate to be social, but will suggest another place next time. read more

Tonight I ordered the 10 boneless wings for takeout. The wings were small, some about the size of a quarter. In addition, the wings came with too much breading and minimal amounts of chicken. It seemed like the wings came from a grocery freezer section. I would never order them again. Very disappointing. RAK read more

Let's admit, pizza preferences are rooted in fond memories. If you want a cheesy gooey thing, then Grottos is quite fine. They added a wild mushroom pizza with a combination of baby portobello, Cremini and white mushrooms, marinated in cream and spices. It's topped with sautéed onions and a special blend of cheese. The Grand Slam has plenty of TVs for sports and nice local brews on tap. Super fast service at the bar. Great waitstaff. With all the TVs at the bar, if you want more quiet, head to of the dining rooms. (Let's see if "Joe t." gives my review an "Oh no" again. read more

My wife and I always come to this location when we come in town. Service is great and the delivery is key on those rainy days! We always get the pepperoni pizza and it's so good! Mostly ordering to go from this location, inside of the restaurant is huge inside, large enough to handle many large groups. This is a must to stop by, either inside or especially to go! read more

Descent pizza for what it is. Grotto Pizza is a staple whenever we visit Rehoboth/Lewes. The web-like drizzle with the flavorful crust and sweet pizza sauce is what we usually remember from here. Good pizza. Not great but really good pizza. This visit to the location off Shady Rd was the first time we have tried their appetizers, such as the onion rings, fried ravioli, and parmesan truffle dipper fries, and both were really good! My toddler loved the truffle dipper fries. I am not sure if it's the flavors or the shape of those fries but he's usually quite picky and I haven't seen him gobble something up so quickly. This location has gone through renovations and I was fooled that it was one of the newer locations when in fact it was one of the original ones. Our server was awesome, very attentive and friendly. read more

We visited this place while on vacation. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was really good. The sweet red chili wings were delicious. The pizza was good as well. The service was good. read more

Hmmmm, checked it out last SAT, walked into the bar this past weekend and sat down with my wife, not to bad. The only thing that was alarming, an individual who looked like he was for sure out of a south/central American gang type with the tattooed-up face etc ..... I know the markings. Anyway, good luck with that! read more

What do I like about Grotto? The pizza. Yes it's not NYC style but it's good for the beach. Add cold beers and its perfect for a get together of adult siblings. Their cheesesteaks are good too. When we have bought the kids, they too have enjoyed the food. Classic beach place to grab food with family and friends. read more

Always enjoy Grottos on my visit to Delaware!! Great customer service and wonderful pizza!! Came at lunch during 4th of July week and was pleasantly surprised with how quick our food came out and the service. read more

This place was fun! We stopped in on a Wednesday night as a group of 3 and they had music bingo going on and a good crowd. The menu has lots to offer and we all had different things and enjoyed them. Standouts were the French onion soup and the pizza is always good! Jen, our server, was friendly and awesome! Would stop again! read more

Pizza was solid, wings were great and would definitely go again if in the Rehobeth/ Lowe's neighborhood

Food was very good as normal and we are glad to see that they kept the games with the renovation. We sat near the games and could barely hear my fiancé talk to me with the sound of kids screaming and playing. I would suggest a door into the game area to limit the sound. It got out of control and no one including the parents were doing anything about it. read more

I don't want for football games. They have TVs everywhere. I'm sitting in the booth and we eat many different dishes while we're there. I haven't had anything I didn't like yet. read more

Be careful when you order. Grotto is mislabeling the sizes of their pizzas to make customers feel better about the money they are spending for mediocre pizza. An "extra large" is a regular 16 inch large pizza in any other pizza place. Grotto should be ashamed of this ploy. read more

Pizza Hut Vibes! Hard pass for me! Would not recommend, even though there's a million and one Grotto's along the boardwalk, still a hard no for me. The look of the restaurant, taste of the pizza, smell of the pizza, the cups, the plates, the silverware, everything. Pizza hut in the 90's vibes. As a previous reviewer said, the pizza comes out soupy. The sauce is watery. The cheese taste cheap, like the cheese on a frozen pizza. The dough is tough. I stopped in because my friend said I absolutely had to try Grottos because it's a staple. *Side eye* I'm not sure how they're still in business. On a Sunday afternoon we were one of only 3 parties in the entire restaurant and you guessed it ... service was still very slow. We tried the Baker's Choice which is pepperoni, extra cheese, mushrooms, sweet peppers and onions. All of the things I LOVE on a pizza. Here, everything taste like it came out of a can, the ingredients didn't taste fresh at all. If my eyes were closed and I took a bite I would have thought this was a frozen pizza. The Greek salad was the saving grace because I could only get 1 slice of pizza down. Hard pass for me. Way too many pizza options in the area to get Pizza Hut, I mean Grotto. read more

My first and LAST time. I ordered a Large Pizza to feed my family. I was handed a 12" frisbee of a pizza for almost $20.00. I can't feed my family on two slices worth of pizza for almost $20.00. Turns out the personal pizza is even smaller. Never again. read more

I have always like Grottos Pizza. It's has a different taste that I relate to the beach. Have been away for a while and our first stop was for a cold beer and a Grotto Pizza. read more

Everyone said I needed to try Grotto if I was coming to Delaware for vacation. People warned me it wasn't amazing but suggested I give it a shot. Overall, it's not the worst pizza I had but it is definitely salty and pretty basic. The biggest pro of this place is they deliver, which a lot of pizza places in the area dont. read more

We had a community event held at Grotto's. Pizza was great and our Community members had a great time.

Had some issues with fans wanting to watch the Phillies but the manger took care of it

Not fans of their pizza at all. We knew every place else would be jammed, so we ended up here. I figured, how bad could a burger be? Well done is not what I ordered (M/R). I didn't want my wife to eat alone. Patty not too bad. Menu says 'brioche' bun, but it was the cheap bun from the dollar store. Paper thin slices of unripe tomato. Heat lamp fries. Wife had grilled chicken sandwich. Again, no brioche. It was a frozen breast with painted on grill marks. Really bad! Server was good. Beer was cold. Never again read more

I visited on 10-02-24, 2:30pm, at the take out store. Walked in, no one was at the counter. Yelled hello but no one heard me. So, I decided to use the time to review the menu posted on the board. I turned around and found a worker at the cash register actively using the cash register. I was the only customer in the facility at the time. I say, "Hello." The young man looked up at me and did not respond. I then say, "Can I place an order?" His response, "Yeah." No "hello" or "may I help you?" I responded, "I've changed my mind" and I walked out. I am no longer spending my money at places where the people behave as if I'm an interruption. read more

Always enjoyed meeting a friend for a beer and pizza at the bar. Very disappointed with the bartender who was rude and acted like she hated her job Will try another time maybe when she's off as we have always enjoyed this location. read more

My gut is wrecked! I haven't shit right in a week. I can't tell the difference between pee and poop anymore, it's all the same. The Grotto has done irreparable damage to my guts and I'll never be the same. My wife left me for my own frickin boss. Next time I'll go to Chill Dawg pizza for good pizza and a good value. read more

This restaurant (especially this location) will always have a special place in my heart. It smells the same as it did 25 years ago. The arcade is so fun and the popcorn machine is cool. We like to take the kids here for pizza and games while down in Rehoboth. They have nice seating available. The staff takes good care of you. We love Grand Slam!! read more

Ordered twice within 1 min by accident. Called local store wouldn't refund me, obviously an accident, jerks about it. I'll never go here again. Jerks. read more

Grottos is a staple in the Delaware area. Definitely a good option if you're at the beach, since people say it tastes better at the beach. The dough was nice, cooked in the brick oven. The cheese and sauce were awful though. They use like a cheddar cheese which is disgusting. I do like the sauce on top but the cheese destroys the pizza. This is speaking for all grottos, I'd recommend just going to a small family owned pizza shop instead of a chain. The wings were alright. The mild sauce didnt have a sweetness to it more of a Tabasco or Frank's red hot feel. read more

This seems like a popular pizza chain in DE, but I wasn't that impressed. This location has arcade games for kids, then an eating area with a few tvs. It felt very run down and old school. I did appreciate that they had Coke Zero available in bottles, and that all of the pizzas were available in the individual size. I ordered the Classic Margherita which had plenty of chopped tomatoes but the cheese was sparse and rubbery. I asked for red sauce on the side, and it seemed very watery. I will say the server was nice. But I don't think I would return to this or another Grotto location, I've had better frozen pizza at home. read more

service is good. pizza sauce is so basic certainly not italian. low on cheese and flavor.

The Buffalo Chicken Wings are delicious! Maybe the best wings I've ever had! And the pizza is delicious! The Service was great. And our order came out very quickly. read more

I ordered buffaloed cauliflower. How difficult could that be apparently for the grotto people it's really hard.. They sent it to me in a "cup". A freakin cup... by the time the food got to me the cauliflower were little balls of grease. Dripping grease!!! Totally disgusting. And ... how is someone expected to eat buffalo cauliflower out of a drinking cup?? My money went to the garbage just like all the food that they serve.. read more

Pizza was great. Restaurant was clean. Service was fine. Covid made their menu a little simpler but I won't have known if I hadn't read it. Table spacing was good. Staff wore masks as did we when not sitting. read more

Sooo welcoming as I am an out-of-towner visiting regularly. Superb servers who are friendly and know that out-of-towners need a little more TLC when visiting. You cannot get a better pizza anywhere....that I'm aware of, and it is memorable! Their customer service is truly what a resort town needs! I go here for dinner every week that I visit this beach town. Why go anywhere else? read more

So I finally got to try the Delaware staple known as Grotto Pizza. After having it I really have to wonder why there is such a fuss over it? This is okay pizza, but I feel like it's not great enough pizza to warrant the many locations that exist. Everything about the pie itself is decidedly average. Nothing is unique about it (except its sauce swirl). In fact it reminds me of the pizza commonly served at kid birthday parties, of which there are many of those at this location. This location is in need of an upgrade. There's arcade games which seem very out of date, a floor plan that makes no sense, and the worst offense being that the bathrooms are basically falling apart. That being said service made up for it, and I didn't have such a bad experience there. But I can now say I'm not a fan of Grotto Pizza, dare I say they're an elaborate chain of tourist traps. read more

Came here with youth baseball team. Very fun environment for the kids and great food!

O what a difference a year makes. We loved it last year a good size slice. Now this year a much small size and $3.00 a slice. Looked like a frozen pizza. So maybe I open a place called Ellio's Pizza and buy a Pallet of it from Costco and sell it for $1.50 a slice . Don't believe walk up and watch as others buy. Disappointed Plus ! read more

Awesome pizza!! I'm a NJ native so of course I'm used to NY style pizza, but my palate does accept other types of pizza - promise! This is one of them! Great pizza and very different! This is the first time I visited this location - service was friendly and food came out fast! Booths were comfy and spacious. They sell frozen pizzas to take home so we always bring them back to NJ! read more
