This Humble Pizza Shop In Delaware Serves The World’s Best Grinders

Louie's Pizza in Rehoboth Beach is famous for its grinders and has been a local favorite for nearly 50 years.

Rehoboth Beach is a mecca for Delaware foodies, and there is so much to snack on in this shore town. One spot has been making the absolute best grinders in the world for nearly 50 years, and if you've never had one, you've got to add this sandwich to your bucket list.

For generations, Louie's Pizza has been a Rehoboth Beach landmark, with lines out the door in the summer and dedicated customers making the trip in the off-season.

When Lazaros "Louie" Gouvas opened his own pizza shop 44 years ago, he had no idea it would become such a Rehoboth Beach legend!

This family friendly restaurant is a great place to escape the heat of the summer sun and settle in for a tasty lunch.

Forget the big chain places - Louie's makes some of the best, freshest pizza at the beach!

What Louie's is really know for, though, is their Grinder. What the heck is a Grinder?

Well, it starts with fresh baked bread. Louie's stacks the sandwich high with deli meats, chicken, or steak and then tops it with select cheese. Then, the sandwich gets toasted until the cheese melts and the bread is perfectly crisp.

The result is a sandwich that has made Louie's a go-to location for lunch lovers at the beach for decades
