“Outstanding dining experience. Delicious food & wonderful atmosphere.“

“Very clean and very friendly. The owner is a really nice guy, he checked up on my son and I and you can tell that he loves what he does very passionate about his food. The cheesesteaks are really good will not disappoint. The sandwich is filled just right so you can eat it and not wear it. The chicken parm sandwich my son tore it up and said it was one of the best ones he has had. French fries are the way they are supposed to be not seasoned or curly just plain great fries. Buffalo wings damn good size not from a baby chicken full grown bird, got the mild sauce and it had a good flavor. Now the pizza! Great crust, thin on the deck and holds really well no saggy slice. True mozzarella not mixed with Provalone you will be able to tell when you taste it, the sauce on the pizza is perfect not sweet or to thick just right. Planning on going back to try more food. Very good menu to choose from and I can imagine it won't disappoint either. This family that runs this place I believe cares about quality to customers, good people, good food what else can you ask for? Next time I'll actually take pics of the food lost track after I bit into the cheesesteak.“

“Nice neighborhood pizza joint. Definitely changed hands in the last few years (no updates to the interior, 90s throwback vibe). Pizza was hot and the crust was tasty. It’s a chill, seat yourself kinda place otherwise take out or delivery works too.

*The menu lists beer options however none is available.

Vegetarian options: Lots of Veggie-Friendly options in all sections.“

“Been coming here for years. Delaware's hidden Italian secret!“

“Our group had a wonderful late evening meal at Caffé Gelato, and it continues to impress with every visit. Parking is conveniently located right outside the door—a rare and much-appreciated feature in Newark, DE. The food is authentically Italian, beautifully prepared, and consistently delicious. What truly stands out—aside from the attentive (yet never intrusive) service—is the care that owner took into designing the dining space. Even though tables are only a few feet apart, there's an unexpected sense of intimacy and privacy that allows for meaningful conversation without concern of being overheard. It's a perfect setting for enjoying a relaxed meal with friends or loved ones. Dining here always feels like a family meal, elevated by expert preparation—and best of all, someone else handles the cleanup! One of our traditions is taking desserts to go and enjoying them at home with a cup of coffee. Since their desserts come with gelato, the waiter thoughtfully brought the gelato to the table so we could savor it fresh, while packing the rest to enjoy later. It's this kind of personalized, considerate touch that makes Caffé Gelato a truly special place and a favorite destination we'll continue to return to—and recommend to others.“

“The gluten free pizza is delicious and safe for those with even the most gluten sensitivity! Highly recommend!“

“I order frequently from Ciao. I have never been disappointed. The food is always good and leaves everyone satisfied. I highly recommend.“

“Going to Tony's is always a wonderful experience. The owners and staff are amazingly warm and friendly. And of course, the food is mouth watering delicious; the very best around.“

“We came here on a random Friday looking for simple Italian food and we were not disappointed! We got a Stromboli and a chicken eggplant salad, both very generous and delicious.
Staff was also on point !
-> Be aware small card surcharge“

“I give them a five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating. I always knew this little shop was tucked in this shopping plaza but I never ever tried. Well let me just say I was missing out. I’ve now tried several different items and different pizzas and all of them have been delicious. You gotta try the BBQ beef cheesesteak (add extra meat and extra cheese) and BBQ chicken pizza. Wow 👍👍. I can tell they get slammed with takeout and delivery orders. Great staff. They’re my new go to.“

“It was really good thanks!“

“amazing pizza would return to area just for this pizza“

“Second time ordering from here, food is fresh pizza is very good, and buffalo wings were good ,excellent service great customer service.“

“Enjoyed the chicken tenders which were perfectly prepared! Nice size portion with moist meat inside and a super delicious crispy coating on outside. Excellent choice. The spaghetti and meatballs is also an excellent meal and very large potion. Very tasty sauce and the meatballs are tasty and moist. Two excellent choices!“

“K es muy muy bueno“

“I ordered a build your own stromboli with 1 ingredient wrong and was mad at myself for forgetting the ingredient and settled for what I was getting. The manager said no I'll make you a new one I want you to be happy. I couldn't believe it it. When it arrived it was amazing so I highly recommend this seasons 5 stars“

“Love this place go all the time get all the spaghetti dishes the staff great friendly people love it“

“It's a college bar, and you get what you expect. Dirty floor and the atmosphere is clearly catered to 21 year olds. That being said, Grotto's wings are always solid and the grand slam sauce brings it home. The pizza is plain but is done so consistently you always know you can count on the taste and texture. Would definitely recommend if you want to go watch a game and enjoy some quick food.“

“My fiancé and I had an amazing dinner at Seasons Pizza at the Pulaski Highwa, Bear location! The pizza was out of this world—perfectly cooked with a crispy crust, fresh toppings, and a fantastic sauce. On top of that, the service was outstanding. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. It's a great spot for a casual and delicious meal. Highly recommend!“
