I can't believe I'm the first to review Surf's Up! Pizza or cheesesteaks, it's 5 out of 5 every time, which is pretty much once a day when I'm at the beach. I'm not from Philly, OK, so don't jump down my throat when I say this, but these are the best cheesesteaks I've ever had by a long shot. Now I wonder why all cheesesteaks aren't this good. The only problem is, while the pizza is great too--way better then Grottos--I'm so into the cheesesteaks that I can only order pizza if I've already had a cheesesteak that day. But what a nice problem to have! read more

Picked up carry out and pizza was ready on time. Pizza was very thick and doughy, not much cheese or toppings. Not my preference so will not be ordering from here again. read more

The best place for subs in Bethany by far. Surf's Up is far better than Subway and any other place with subs or pizza in town. They have great steaks, italians, and they always pack on a ton of meat. The fries are also tasty and their pizza is hand-made every day and I find it better than Grotto. It's not the cleanest or visually pleasing in the world but it has great food and atmosphere if that's what you're looking for. P.S. - get there early before the lunch rush comes in or be prepared to wait a bit for your food. read more

Went to bethany beach over Memorial Day weekend and ate at Surf's Up both days we were there! A perfect pizza spot by the beach. The crust is crispy and the sauce is delicious. I highly recommend if you're looking for a place to grab a slice on the bethany boardwalk. Also staff is super friendly and quick! read more

Thought we would try a few slices of pizza while we were here. I have to agree with the more recent reviews. The pizza tasted like something we would buy from our kids soccer fund raising drive. The sauce was bland and the dough was crunchy. read more

I've been here a few times previously, and Surf's Up has not disappointed at all. I've gotten the Italian and Turkey subs here and they were both great. They use good quality meats, and churn out sandwiches rather quickly with an assembly line style of sandwich making. There is a separate portion for pizza making, but I have never needed to use it because the subs are so good! read more

Excellent cheesesteaks. No frills place, very basic decor, it's a real hole in the wall. Staff were friendly. Save some money one night and grab from here. Good takeout to beach too. read more

Do not go. I am 16 years old and went in with a friend, I ordered and the manager was rude to me. I had a mask on so it was hard to talk, and I said yes sir, and he said excuse me and I said yes sir. I then waited outside and he said to my friend...tell that kid if I see him again I'm going to hit him ( I am 16 he is above 18) my friend laughed and the manager said I am serious. While I waited outside the manager was yelling at me calling me a bit*h, the slammed my pizza and said see you later bit*h. I did nothing wrong, so I went back with my dad the next day. He said I called him a fagg*t the prior day, but I said yes sir...I had a mask on maybe he heard wrong. He then said I was there in March at the restaurant with a group of friends, and we trashed the place and had a food fight. It is May, my first time coming since last fall... I was not here in March. The owner then came out, siding with the manager, cause of course there low-life opinion is don't listen to what's right, don't side with the costumer. I made no mistake, they did make a big mistake, which no apology was given by them. I am no longer aloud back at surfs up- the reason being that the manager and owner thought I was there in March, having a food fight. Just because I am a white teen in Bethany, does not mean I am the same one that trashed the place. I also cannot go back cause the manager said he will hit me if I do. The food here is fine, the owner is not willing to admit wrong doing or apologize, and the manager...he is a terrible person, as he threatened to hit me, called me a bit*h multiple times, and racially profiled me for being a white teen that trashed the place months before. One last thing...I had a mask on for quarantine, how would he know exactly what I look like. read more

The Pizza was decent; and met my expectations, but I waited a solid 3 minutes before I was helped even though I was the only one in there and we had made eye contact. The young boys friends had come in and they were throwing dough balls back and forth with no gloves. The place was dirty and not well kept. Good pizza but terrible service. read more

Great cheese steaks! Best I've had so far at bethany,dewey, or ocean city! I'm not a fan of the pizza.

Delicious cheesesteak sub, fresh veggies , generous amount of meat and sweet peppers on the freshest bread. Yummy! Greeted by very friendly townies. Really good old fashioned beach joint. read more

It's a lot less elaborate than Grotto's Pizza, but the pizza here is still pretty good. The toppings on their pizza aren't rubbery or slimy, which is a plus. There's a lot more seating than you'd think, with two stairwells leading up to a second-floor seating area. In addition, the people who work there are pretty nice; they seem to be friends with a lot of the locals, from what I picked up. They also offer pickup, which is pretty popular. Overall a good place to get pizza, with better food and a smaller crowd than Grotto's down the street. Probably the best pizza on the parkway. read more

Best cheesesteak in Delaware! They are HUGE so go there when you are very hungry! I end up full and happy every time.

Grottos isn't great pizza, but it's a tradition from many years of coming to Rehobeth, Dewy and Bethany. figured I would try something new. Pizza tasted like it was out of a box. fries were a little better, but with Thrasher's next door (legitimate fry kings) why bother? read more

2 years ago, I found this place and loved their pizza. it was the best pizza in the area. Last year 2011, the pizza slipped a little but it still was good, very tasty. Just went here last night and ordered 3 pizzas for my guests and it was terrible, the sauce was bland, bread was very doughy, not good at all. Needless to say, I ended up throwing most of the pizza out and it wasn't a hit with the guests. I was embarrassed. Stay away from the pizza. read more

Went here based on yelp reviews. Was not disappointed! My son had a slice of pizza and liked it. I got the cheesesteak. Incredible amount of meat and overflowing with toppings! I ordered it with "everything" but it's a good thing he asked me what I wanted (I started wondering why he continued asking my topping choices, I mean I SAID everything didn't you hear me?) because there were toppings I wouldn't have gotten! There were so many! So I was schooled!LOL:). It was the small size, I think 11", and I could barely finish half it was so huge. After a very disappointing cheesesteak at capriottis last week this was amazing. I knocked off a star for cleanliness and also because all I wanted was a glass of water and was told I couldn't have one because they ran out of "water" glasses (at 1 o'clock in the afternoon). Seemed like a pretty lame excuse, could've just given me water in a Pepsi class. Also they were out of 2 of their 8 fountain drinks. The stools and counters were greasy, dirty napkins and straw covers on floor, and 3 employees just stood around talking behind the counter. They were nice and polite though when I asked where the book store was. read more

Very casual take-out/eat-in place specializing in subs. Pizza is made on-site. You can watch. I haven't had it recently so I can't say how it tastes. I went there this past weekend and it is just as good as I remember it as a child. The italian sub is perfection. Great beach food. read more

Fairly impressed by this little place. Got the cheesesteak and the only reason I did not give five stars is it could've had a little more cheese and the roll should've been lightly toasted. Service was good, they were friendly and quick. Will definitely be back. read more

Cheesesteak was ok at best. Didn't have to wait long. Not how I ordered it though. Can't speak to the other items but if looking for a cheesesteak, look elsewhere. read more

Best cheesesteak subs anywhere around. And fantastic service. Very fast. Come to Bethany Cemetery have been here for two decades. My kids getting pizza and my husband and I share a cheesesteak sub. read more

I have not been in several years but the subs are how I remembered. The Steak and Cheese is the best I've had. It's perfectly cooked and tastes great. The subs are stuffed so they don't close. The meats and cheeses are fresh and the large is 18in which is perfect for 3 to share. Just ask it to be cut in thirds. read more

We have been going here for years. I have to have my Turkey Sub EVERY time we go, which is almost every weekend in the summer. It's SO good. Family favorite for subs and we think the pizza is better than Grotto's. Love the kids that work there, all very friendly and helpful. Definitely a must for lunch anytime you are in Bethany! read more

Great pizza on the beach! It's a family tradition from Surfs Up for many years! Great pizza! read more

Surf's Up - Pepperoni pizza on the beach!! Great stuff from surfs up! - Pizza Near Me - Bethany Beach, Delaware

See all

We've been enjoying the cheesesteaks for years. My husband wishes you'd bring back fountain cherry coke though. We'll see you next summer.

This is hands down the best place to get subs at the beach! My family and I have been coming here since I was little and it is a yearly family tradition. I definitely recommend you checking this place out if you're in the area! read more

We always hit this place for our cheesesteaks. The bread is the best and even a small sandwich can't be finished.

Horrible customer service, either the manager or the owner was so down right rude that we actually decided not to eat there. I will never stop there again. read more

BEST subs on the beach!! The cheesesteak is fantastic. The Italian cold cut sub is huge. No way you could make one at home for that price. family has been going there every day on our vacation. Nobody would think of going anywhere else. read more

This is my favorite place in Bethany. Have been coming for 25 years or so. Great Cheesesteak subs. A large is big enough for 2 people. The bread, the cheese, the chopped steak is simply amazing. I also love the Turkey Sub and the Italian. The Pizza is quite decent too (better than Grotto). The people who work here are great too. Great staff. read more

Hours are incorrect. Not open at 9 am. Drove from Ocean City on way home and wanted to stop but can't. No website either. Wtf.

Just OK. Fries were good but wife had slice of pizza that was cold. Also I placed an order for hamburger at the time she got pizza on same order. Rather than deliver at the same time they gave her the pizza right away while cooking my burger. Needless to say she was finished eating by the time I got my burger which was just OK at best read more

Its not fancy, and a little grimy inside, but the food is great, the cheesesteak is what it is-second to none. Get the large and split it-better bargain. Not cheap but i allow myself one cheesesteak a summer so i don't get a heart attack..... read more

Surf's Up? More like the rest of the mid-Atlantic in the summer time..Surf's down! Went to this place this past weekend with original intentions to get a 12" pizza and the much talked about cheese steaks. First I stood infront of the stoner behind the counter as he stared at the cash register trying to do i don't know what..i had yet to order anything. When stoney-balogni finally acknowledged me, I asked for the 12" in which he said, "oh we don't do 12" any more just 16"...wanna do that, just a couple bucks more," nope thats a big za for a personal pan (for the kid), "I'll just do some slices," i said. Another 2 minutes staring at the register and stoner #1 looks around and rings me up. Next thing ya know i see his partner in crime stoner #2 start to roll the dough for a pizza for the slice..This is at 12:30...at luch.. ya don't have some slices ready right in the middle of the day! really! In the mean time I hear from the sando line (yea you can't order their much talked about cheese steaks ordering from the same stoner you have to go to a different stoner (talk about a stoney set up)). So i look over at that line and they looked even more stoney and the main guy (who i guess was in charge but not in charge of much) kept saying to the guys making the sando's, "don't worry about it, nope don't worry about that, or that, or that," is there anything ya worry about except your next toke break. Sooo decided to skip it and went next store to that sandwich shop that does the po-boy (awsome BTW) and they hammered out a fired oyster po-boy and fries in no time, I went back to check on stoner#1 and 2 and they were still working on my slices. 10 minutes later i don't even get a, "sorry for the wait bro," and stoner #2 slaps my 3 slices on plates with no, "umm bro ya want a box for these," or anything and sends me on my way with 3 very lame fresh slices (crust sucked, cheese was standard costco brand and the pepperoni was flavorless). Surf's Up is like the surf in most of the mid-Atlantic...Surf sucks. Take another hit Surf's Up! read more

The worst cheesesteak ever!! Anyone that thinks they're good obviously never had a real cheesesteak like Al Casapulla's.in Millville.

I've been coming here for nearly 31 years now, and it's just as delicious as ever! Quality sandwich and fries!!! You take credit cards now too!!! Can I give you six stars?! Please never change. It's a staple, and truly a highlight of each trip to Bethany. read more

Pizza is decent which doesn't mean much for Bethany Beach but it is he best that I have had in BB. Their subs however are excellent. I have not been disappointed anytime I have satisfied my cheesesteak craving at Surfs up. read more

Cheesesteak sandwich was good. Large is a little pricey but you can feed up to 3 people with it. Fries and pizza are good to.

Cheesesteaks are amazing! French fries were so good I ate the whole bag and there was probably enough to feed 4...

Had a turkey and cheese sub for lunch today. These subs are the real deal. Great bread, good lunch meat, and tons of toppings. Even when the line is long, it moves pretty quickly. And come on people, there's a line for a reason: it's the best sub shop in town. Cheesesteaks and italian are also good and can't go wrong with the pizza. I generally just get it to go and eat on the beach. They take credit cards now which is nice. Oh and clean bathroom to use. read more

Just order the cheesesteak! You will never be disappointed. My family also likes the pizza but I think it's just ok. The place has been around forever, it's pretty run down and we pretty much always carry out because of that reason. We keep coming back year ofter year for the cheesesteak...Doesn't feel like a BB vacation without it! read more
