While not positioned as organic, the food reflects authentic Italian execution. The pizza stands out: a light, well-fermented airy crust, balanced and refined sauce, and thoughtfully curated toppings. The menu offers elevated, gourmet combinations without being overworked. Desserts are made in-house and well executed. The flourless cake, in particular, is rich without being heavy. A excellent pizzeria in an area where clean gourmet food is inconsistent. this is Worth returning to.. Mangia Bene !!!!

Let me begin by saying, we have always been huge Ripieno's fans. It's a place we rave about and…read morehave always brought family to or suggested they dine at while in OCMD. The Greek salad and Margherita pizza is our go to, but we have had their cheesesteak subs, lasagna, and their various assortments of desserts. Ripieno's special-brew chai iced tea is something else that has always kept us coming back. That is until today. While the pizza and salad were still very good, they weren't as outstanding as they have been in the past. Customer service is not the same as it once was. When we ordered the chai tea, this evening, no orange and lemon slices were offered. As we were dining outside, I walked in to ask if they had orange and lemon slices for the iced-tea available. The cashier first seemed as though he didn't see me, and then when i caught his attention and asked about the slices of orange and lemon for the tea, he looked at me as if he didn't not know what I was talking about. I looked at the girl behind the counter that walked over with the salad dressing that had not been delivered with our salads and asked her about the fruit. She looked confused as well and said they didn't have any. The iced-tea on its own is very good, but the slices of orange and lemon really make it great! Back to the food...when our pizza was brought to the table, the gentleman that delivered it, (I think he may have been attending the wood-fire oven) threw our paper plates on the table. Next came the Greek salads. We were short two sets of silverware which was noticed by the second server. She said she would return with silverware, but didn't. So, I went back inside and asked for the two sets of silverware we needed. I was asked if I wanted plastic. I responded that I would prefer metal silverware. The girl disappeared and returned several minutes later with the silverware. I realize it is the busy season, but the restaurant was not busy. We've been during the busy season and in the off season and have always had wonderful experiences. I am truly hoping that this was a one-time thing, and that Ripieno's will return to the same familiar place we used to love to go.

Everyone enjoyed their meals, generously sized, and with garlic bread on the side of the pasta dishes. I highly recommend to try the chicken artichoke w capers - the sauce was just right and not too lemony. The leftovers were great the next day too. Definitely recommend this place for Italian in OCMD.

Long time chef up in Philly, I had a good feeling he knew what he was doing. Ironically, ever since that day, I would hear people raving about Lucas. That's when I knew I had to go see what's up. My Fiancé and I reserved a pie yesterday for 3:45, kept it simple for as I always do when eating at a joint for the first time - really shows if a place can execute the simple things. Which in this case, they hit it out of the park. We sat in the car in the parking lot instead of waiting 30 mins until we got home, because I really wanted to try it fresh out of the oven. I devoured 4 slices in a matter of 15 mins. This is the best traditional pizza oven pizza I've had in Delaware, and I moved here in '06. As my Fiancé and I were feeling like we were in heaven enjoying the pie, I told her they have sandwiches as well, one of which was a Chx Caesar sub - our favorite. She insisted we get one for later, of course I agreed. I called back in and ordered it, was ready in 10 minutes. When I was handed the sandwich wrapped up, i already knew it was gonna be a hit. Thing was massive. We made it home and had our way with this sandwich. Which from the picture looks a bit messy, but it was very easy to eat and stayed together. Was delicious. This place was well worth the anticipation and excitement, they certainly delivered and we will be back to try the Tito's (Vodka Pie) and Cheesesteak. I'll be thinking about this first experience until we get back for a second time. Well done brother, yall got it going on for sure !

The estimated time of readiness was exact from the app. Very impressed. I also found that the Thursday special of a 18" large cheese pizza pie and 10" Cheesesteak Sandwich with French fries and a drink for $14.99 each was not available through the restaurants website and only on the Uber Eats App. I also ordered the Antipasta Salad for $18.40. I paid an extra $4 to for the pizza pie to have Sausage on it. WOW! It was loaded with sausage. You saw more sausage on the pizza than cheese. Don't get me wrong, there was enough cheese too. We like extra cheese on our pizza and usually have to order it but with this pie, there was a sufficient amount of cheese on it. It smelled as good as it tasted. Very similar to the NJ/NY pizza pies I'm used too. Woohoo! Another pizza place that we enjoy! They are rather limited here in the Slower Lower Delaware area. The Cheesesteak which I got with fried onions, pickles and mozzarella cheese was good. There was a decent amount of meat on it, however, and this is typical with most places that serve cheesesteaks, they just don't put enough cheese on it. I don't understand. This is the first ingredient in "Cheese"steak but yet majority of places outside of Philadelphia, just don't put it enough. I will say this had a bit more than most places, but it still could use a bit more. I would have liked a little bit more fried onions as well, but overall it was a decent sandwich. This also came with a fountain soda, which was more ice than soda, but my mistake for not asking for no ice and French Fries. Steak Fries - YUMMO! A bit soggy from the travel and packing but still yummy. Would have loved to have had some BBQ sauce to dip them in, but unfortunately, I was out of that at my house. So fresh and delicious. Antipasta Salad with house dressing was so good. Loaded with meat and other components. Unlike most places where it's all lettuce and just a little bit of toppings, here it was all toppings and little lettuce. A bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for, right? Well deserving of the extra money. The dressing was so good, my mother drank it from her plate. HAHA! We will definitely order from here again or even maybe dine in one day. Happy to have another Pizza place to go to.

About two or three years ago, something changed. The quality of the food has declined noticeably. It seems like the ingredients and recipes have been changed--the pizza crust, the cheese, the sub rolls, and the overall freshness just aren't what they used to be. The pizza is now almost inedible, and even the cheesesteaks, which were once a favorite, have gone downhill. We're genuinely sad to write this because we have so many great memories here. We're leaving this review in the hope that ownership will consider bringing back the quality and recipes that made Oceanside such a beloved local tradition.
