There’s something about dining on the boardwalk that makes everything taste better. Whether it’s candy, fried chicken, hot dogs, French fries, popcorn, or pizza – flavors just seem to improve the closer you get to the ocean! Perhaps that’s why Delaware’s most iconic pizza chain – Grotto’s – has been so successful. This Delaware business started off as a single pie shop in Rehoboth Beach, and today there are more than 20 locations. Still, nothing is quite as good as enjoying a slice by the ocean.

For more than 60 years, Grotto Pizza has been the name synonymous with slices on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach.
