Server completely forgot my order. Dropped off everyone's pizza, stroboli, and wings, and was nowhere to be found until they were almost finished eating. Everyone was finished eating before I even got my pizza.

First and likely the last time I dine here. Pizza was okay but not the “Greatest in Delaware” IMHO… Price for the pizza and antipasto salad was way too high, neither were very good.

I was looking forward to a few slices. Had some at beach the other day and it was spot on. Marble pattern, equal amount of sauce/cheese. Today? This pie had 3 ingredients, bread, cheese and grease. Like a completely different pizza.

We looked forward to this for a year and it was terrible!! Buffalo chicken pizza was dry and too much cheese. Service was not great we got our fries before our pizza never was asked if it was good if we needed anything. Over all $50 dollars for a pizza, order of fries and two cokes.... won't be back!
WARNING: This review includes photos of a foreign item found in food prepared by this establishment.
Last week (6/20/25) while in town for an event, a family member suggested ordering from Grotto Pizza in Seaford, DE after a long day’s travel. After reading some recent poorly rated reviews, we still decided to take the chance based on my relative’s suggestion (she is a long time local of the area), and the pleasant memories I had of visiting Grotto Pizza with her as a child. Picking up the take-out order, the server was kind, though we did note we were not offered or provided any condiments for our meal, which was unfortunate once we arrived to our rental home. This turned out to be only a minor slight, as the fried zucchini ordered was soggy, the burgers were unseasoned, and the cheesesteak I ordered contained a very clear and obvious insect in it. I am grateful that because I forgot to ask for light cheese, I was using a spoon to scoop out any unwanted pockets – which is where I made this appalling discovery.
After composing myself, my relative and I returned to the restaurant with the evidence. We spoke to a manager that was both helpful and remorseful of our experience, though when we asked for a full refund and she had to consult the general manager, he did not acknowledge or approach us with any apology for what occurred in his establishment. My hope in sharing this review is that this location will take note & take accountability. While I'm no authority, I honestly feel this location should receive an inspection. It is absolutely unacceptable that this happened and there was no effort on higher management’s part to do anything about it. What is the most disappointing is that my once warm and nostalgic image of this restaurant chain has now been reduced to this negative experience. I will not be returning, and I caution anyone considering visiting this location to think twice.

The pizza ordered was significantly underwhelming in terms of cheese content. The price was not commensurate with the subpar quality of the pizza.
Service was good and so was the food.
