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!!
