Pomodoro Pizza is the most exclusive pizza of Bethany Beach with limited quantities prepared and yes... it is easily the best too!! With a focus on the order at hand, everything is authentically done, thoughtfully crafted, and well prepared. Simple and satsifying! We called in at eleven for a 6:00 pickup and were already the fifth order. They only take a single order per fifteen minute window, so it can be multiple hour long waits during the dinner window! We ordered a cheese, a pepperoni, a white with roasted peppers, and a pomodoro special (pepperoni, sausage, bacon, green peppers, mushroom, and onion). A true New York style pizza. The slices are huge. The toppings are thin. A folded bite is essential! The interior is just a small pickup counter, a cooler of soda bottles/cans, and a refrigerator of some off-menu salads and cannolis. The owners are so wonderful and will greet you warmly as you enter, but they do deal with a lot of complainers that are disappointed that they didn't plan in advance for their dinner pickup.

They make really good pizza here. One of the best in the area. Nice thin crust and the sauce and…read morecheese is truly NY/NJ style. The staff and owner are as nice as can be. We like the cannolis too. Online ordering (the day before) works well. The reason I don't give it 5 stars is that many times the pizza is lukewarm (or colder) when I pick it up. And I try to get there before the designated pickup time. I like hot pizza, so we have often been disappointed. Make sure you get there early for your pickup.

Completely appalled at Amatos Pizza! Called, placed an order for 2 large pizzas at 4:02. They gave…read morea pick up time of 5:10. No problem. Brought the pizza home, it was cold. It appeared it had been sitting for a good 20 mins before it was picked up. We got there a little early. The Margherita pizza was cold, the sauce was dripping in the box, with 2 or 3 VERY tiny strips of basil on an entire large pizza. I called and spoke to Joe Amato, the owner. He told me that "I was lucky it had any basil on it at all because they didn't have any!!!" What?! Shame on you! I explained that was very rude to tell me that and as a business owner, he should have better customer service and either explain that they ran out of basil, instead of leading customers to believe they are getting what they ordered. I further explained that he could've ran to one of the several nearby grocery stores and bought some! First and last time my extended family will frequent this place of business!

Yum! My husband…read moreloves him some pizza and the reviews and photos are what brought us in here. Cute exterior with lights and even cuter inside, it looks like a bistro. Our server was very friendly and appeared to be hosting and waiting tables at the same time but she was pleasant and prompt. We both ordered salads - mine was the chopped and husband chose Cesar and both were a very generous portion size and super fresh and delish. I really enjoyed it. Great price too. We chose to build our own pizza with just red sauce, cheese and Italian sausage. It was out quickly, piping hot, and VERY good. My husband is from St. Louis so he likes very thin crust and very crunchy (think cracker crust) and this was cooked to crunchy (but not burnt) perfection with fresh and yummy sausage on top. We both actually really enjoyed the meal - more than our fancier date night meal the night before. I'd absolutely come back here if ever in town again. It's charming and delicious. Ample parking outside on the street and very cute and charming both inside and outside.

Coming from out of town, always look forward to a visit to Grotto's. Still bummed that the Bethany…read moredowntown location was closed. On a rainy Saturday afternoon, headed here for dinner. It was busy inside, but we were seated quickly for a party of five. Once seated, orders were taken. The Alcohol beverages were delivered quickly, but none of the waters request. Had to flag someone down that proceeded to tell us to tell our waitress... ok, that was strange as we would have if we could have located them. We also ordered two salads as appetizers and only one came. We ordered two cheese pizza and one came right as soon as receiving one salad and other was delayed. We asked for knifes and had to remind a second time and then were told they only have a couple as all were in the dishwasher. So, food was good, but service had a lot to be desired. Maybe not enough servers.

I had been told by friends that Grotto Pizza is known as "grody Pizza" (to use a "Valley Girl"…read morephrase.) ....But I am not Yutzy-Futzy or a rich visitor to Bethany Beach from New York or DC with high-falutin tastes -- just a regular guy who figured that the negative reviews for Grotto Pizza were because in Bethany there ARE a ton of Rich utzy futzy folk who have little taste for basic and affordable fare. As such I was figuring that Grotto would be good-honest and acceptable for a "regular-joe" like me. Surely it's gotta be like Pizza Hut or Round Table or heck, even Dominos.... So I gave it a go.... And ummm NOPE! Waited for almost 10 min to be seated on a quiet afternoon while one employee after another walked by me purposefully avoiding eye contact with me. -zero stars So I had 10 min to look around at the condition of the place - it looked like it had not been deep cleaned for a decade - oh sure they are sweeping/moping the middles but you don't look at the edges or the corners NASTY-also holes in and completely worn out booth benches - and just generally sad worn out basic/and super cheap chairs and tables -Zero Stars Waitress was very nice and prompt (once someone got us seated). -Four Stars Salads were ok, lettuce was fresh but other elements were sparse, someone prolly took great pride in placing the one olive right in the middle next to the one cherry tomato. Dressing was cheap food service stuff. - Two Stars Now to the pizza. It was absolutely just "Grody" as I had been fore warned . It was a general combination specialty pizza straight from the menu. The biggest problem was it was WET Not from grease, but from water which I think may? Have come from canned mushrooms or very wet sweet pickled peppers It was actually dripping "liquid" and thus soggy. The lack of flavor sauce was made worse by how sweet it was - sort of like it was tomato paste mixed with sugar.... The whole thing was tasteless and also comprised of the cheapest possible ingredients. - Zero Stars I guarantee that a dominos pizza that bounced around a deliver car for thirty minutes and is basically cold - Would be an order of magnitude better than what was served to me. It's really sad because peeps in Bethany could use a good honest value driven pizza place - but this is not it. - Choose elsewhere and shame shame on the proprietors they could do so much better.I see this as a basically tourist trap restaurant. Total average stars --- ZERO. Oh yeah and the price is not good either . Absolutely No value for the money you pay.

I needed to update the review in special recognition of our server, Kenna, who was our server the first time around and we were lucky to get her again. I forgot to recognize her by name on our initial visit. This time, I had the Gnocchi with Mushrooms and it was incredible also. It was another large serving with enough to take back to the hotel. I also added the Italian Wedding soup and it was probably the best I've had! It was filled with plenty of vegetables and the broth was fantastic. Final shout out to the bartender that made an exceptional Cosmo. All three of us ordered one and we each gave it high marks. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Bethany Beach area.

Today, I ordered two Argentinian Chicken Empandas and two Nutella Empanadas with a Mandarin Jarritos! The savory come with a salsa that is literally "lick the container out" good. The chicken is finely minced to make every bite filled with flavor and the empanada dough is perfectly flaky. The Nutella was an explosion of gooey goodness. Packed with Nutella and sprinkled on top with powdered sugar, these empanadas make you wonder why they aren't on every dessert menu. The inside is so perfectly decorated with gourmet pictures of their food options, signs to remind you that waiting for good food is a good thing, and a perfectly placed bottle opener so you can kick back and pop that top off!
