We came to Rehoboth during the 2025 Columbus Day weekend Greyhounds Reach the Beach event and had dinner at the Grotto Pizza on Rehoboth Avenue. We'd been going to this restaurant for years because you can dine on the patio with your greyhounds. The pizza has never been great, but it was at least passable in earlier visits. This time, the double pepperoni pizza we ordered was awful. Thr pepperoni was tasteless and insipid, the sauce tasted like tomato paste right out of the can, the crust was underdone and also tasteless and we couldn't even remember the cheese. In short, there was nothing good about it. By contrast, the maple and walnut salad was very good, and the service was good and very polite.
I don't know what has happened to this Grotto Pizza, but I hope they up their game soon.

Pizza and sandwiches are good. Lots of food, especially if your wallet needs a break from other food options at the boardwalk. Grottos pizza is a little bit different than standard pizza shops, but in a good way. You got to try it for yourself!

Its a shame they have such a great building with a nice view, because everything else is not up to par. Drinks not made right, pizza was served cold, our waiter was barely serving us the entire time. Our table when we got there was dirty. Was told we would have one waiter then was served by the waiter that told us we'd be served by another. Very sloppy and disorganized. Preys on tourists and super pricey for what it is. Better off walking around eating fries in a bag from the place across the street.

Just had the Mama Grotto pan pizza on our last night in Rehoboth. It was delicious! Ordered it online, picked it up hot and on-time. A perfect Rehoboth Beach dinner!
My favorite beach pizza. My family owns a home in Rehoboth and I always make a point to grab a few slices.

Super place to visit. Very family friendly. One slight caveat that the doors and windows are open all the time so it is not 120% bug free, but they do their best.

We’ve eaten here hundreds of times over the years. The food is always delicious, and comes out piping hot. The service is usually very good. Occasionally we get a server that hasn’t been properly trained and doesn’t know to double back to the table a couple of minutes after you drop the food off to see how it is and if the customer needs anything. This particular location (not sure about the others) has an outdoor patio where dogs are always welcome. They always have 2 big bowls set out front of the hostess station…a water bowl and one filled with milk bones for the puppers. And often the servers will bring milk bones to the table for your pets. They have individual pet water bowls upon request although they also often bring these out as soon as they notice your sweet fur babies. The ambiance is awesome outside. Very nice tables, some of which are under their trellis and have ceiling fans above while others are in the back and each has an umbrella. The inside tables all have the ability to watch whatever is on the big screens that day. Sometimes there’s a wait but usually not more than 15-20 min and it goes by quick. This location is right on Rehoboth Ave quite close to the boardwalk so you can usually hear whatever band is playing the bandstand that night if you’re seated outside. The service we had tonight was top notch. I can’t remember the guys name but he’s pictured in the photos. The only reason I gave 4 stars is bc we do eat here so often and find that a lot of times it’s 4 star service.
Pizza was excellent 👌 😋
