Pizza at the beach is a great tradition! Â Here’s some of the best options:
Grotto Pizza.  With several locations along the boardwalk, more on Rehoboth Ave, and several locations inland as well, Grotto Pizza is a summertime favorite! Though, not everyone loves Grotto, I have to admit it is my first choice for pizza in Rehoboth, and I’m obviously not alone because Grotto pizza has been voted Best Pizza in in Delaware in the past. Yum!
Nicola Pizza.  Home of the famous Nic-o-boli, Nicola is the pizza of choice for many! Locally owned and operated for over 40 years, there are 2 locations in Rehoboth to serve you. Nicola uses a delicious 3-cheese blend and homemade sauce and dough, and will even ship many of their products, including jars of sauce and Nic-o-bolis. Delicious!!
Louie’s Pizza.  In addition to good pizza, Louie’s also serves up their famous grinders as well as delicious subs and cheese steaks. If you’re looking for some place a little less touristy than Nicola or Grotto then Louie’s is your best bet. After all, they advertise themselves as “Rehoboth’s best kept secret: the place where locals eat!â€
