Overview
Since 1960, Grotto Pizza has been Delaware’s unofficial beach-town gathering place. What started as a small boardwalk pizza stand has grown into a statewide institution, serving its signature “legendary swirl” pizza to families for generations. Bright booths, arcade games, and the sound of waves nearby make this a must-stop during any Delaware beach trip.

Why It’s Worth a Stop
It’s comfort food with hometown nostalgia. Every Delawarean has a Grotto memory—whether it’s post-beach pizza with sandy feet or late-night slices after the boardwalk lights go out.
