    Pizza Connoisseur with slice of Hawaiian
    Linda M.

    PIZZA review first! The Pizza Connoisseur (not me partner in crime) gives it 7.8/10. Crisp crust through to the tip...yes I said tip...the balanced sauce not sweet... for a Hawaiian controversial pizza yes.... ham was not too thick or too thin cut... For the service... nothing exceptional but not rude either .. chill environment and dog friendly in the back by the bar or pm the patio... Definitely take this pizza over typical Grottos... Cheers pizza lovers

    Simple family run Italian restaurant. We weren't sure what to expect, but we're pleasantly surprised by the overall tastiness of our meal. They won't win awards for their fare, but you'll leave happy and satisfied. We split an order of spumonti for dessert and that was exceptional.

    Calamari

    Calamari perfect. Bar tender very attentive. Never a bad meal. Seafood pasta so good. I forgot to take a picture..

    Large Cheese Pizza
    Layla K.

    Got a large cheese pizza and intended to eat it there with our dog but the outdoor seating was not yet unlocked, even though it was like 6 pm. The pizza was pretty bad in my opinion. Thin soggy cardboard like crust, very minimal amount of sauce, and very greasy cheese.

    BURNT BARF
    Eric B.

    SO TO START, I'M REALLY PISSED! IF YOU HAVE READ ANY OF MY OTHER RANTS YOU KNOW , I HATE BURNT PIZZA! So this ass hole is chatting up with the help. The girl at the regester is getting nervous. So she opens the oven. The ass hole sees her and says "I GOT IT." As he pulls the pizzas out he is patting himself on the back and claims them to be perfect! FAR FROM IT. I asked him why all the sparse toppings was on one side of the pizza? He just stared at it, no response. See the pic. DEFINITELY THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS WRONG IN THIS PLACE. Eat your crap and have a nice day!!!

    Personal pan pizza

    Now that's F*%king Italian! Those last two reviews, "forget about em." We had the best dinner that we have had since we got to Dewey. I had the pizza cheese steak, and it was phenomenal. My little guy got the kids pizza which he liked and finished. The side of meatballs was out of this world delicious. The cannoli is we're on point, and the Tiramisu, it was Wowwie!! The next time I'm in town, " I walking here" to eat the best of Dewey, hands down!

    Gelato in a frozen lemon
    Sandy P.

    Really enjoyed our meal here. Started with the arancini which were filled with ground beef and pea. Sauce was delicious and the balks were cooked perfectly. Shared a large cheese and pepperoni pizza. Really good; thin chewy crust and piping hot. Finally, a good cannoli and (I forget the name) lemon gelato in a frozen lemon. They have tables set up outside which was really nice. It's in there parking lot behind the restaurant and it worked just fine.

    Pizza is ok. The dough/crust had to be ripped apart to eat and then hard to chew. Kids couldn't eat it at all. May have been stale.

They did a…read moregreat job and I love the new layout w the open garage doors and the big tvs for game watching. Grottos pizza is delicious. I know that not everyone agrees but I love the sauce and for me that makes a delish pie. So why not 5 stars? Because their pizzas are getting smaller and smaller. The large pie did not even approach the end of the tray which is kind of bs when you are paying $26 for your pizza w one topping. Also, we ordered anchovies (bc that is our thing) and I think they cut 2 or 3 little anchovy strips into tiny pieces and disbursed it around the whole pie. It just seemed so cheap on their end. We used to come every week but we really don't come much anymore since they cheaped out. This visit was a good reminder why.

Cute decor and it was even decorated for the holiday (Memorial Day). Our server (Addie) was terrific! She was super friendly and very accommodating. Our food was out quickly. Ordered a pizza (a must), wings, and a salad. All were fabulous. The salad was delicious!! Shocked that a pizza place had such a lovely salad. Very fresh. And the pizza - a must. Even if can't get here for dining in, grab one to go or take to the beach!

    Introduction on Dewey Beach trip:…read more Representing 2023, W is for Woody's. In September 2023, I was on a group beach trip at a house in Dewey Beach a close walk to Woody's. I stayed for 3 nights. The timing of this trip ended up being good for three reasons: 1. Three weeks earlier I had surgery for cancer on Tuesday, 8/15/23. I was not aloud to go in pool, beach, or bathtub for exactly 3 weeks. My community pool's last day for the season was Labor Day Monday, 9/4/23 (2 weeks 6 days after my surgery), which kind of sucked because that kissed going to my community pool the rest of the season or any other pool parties. About a week earlier, my friend convinced me to go on the trip saying there was availability in the house during the Monday to Friday part. Ultimately, I decided to take off work on that Tuesday and worked from the house on Wednesday, but I had a great time on the trip that I decided to extend to Thursday doing the same working at the house. And I was able to fully enjoy the beach on Tuesday, 9/5 exactly 3 weeks later with no issues. As well as the other 2 days to lesser extent as I had work too. 2. DC/Maryland was experiencing an intense September heat wave with temperatures in the upper 90's; so it was great timing to escape to the beach where temps there were still pretty hot as high as low 90's. 3. Most importantly, I met my girlfriend of now 2 years on this trip! We were friends for several months, but then dating started in February 2024. Experience with Woody's: If I hadn't extended my trip into Thursday, I wouldn't have tried Woody's. I was tired of leftovers after Tuesday & Wednesday night; I decided to go to Woody's for dinner. I called in the order, walked over didn't have to wait long, and took back. Friends looked a little jealous. I got the crab cake sandwich with fries. It was an amazing crab cake with great fries. It certainly wasn't a cheap dinner, but it was worth it for a good amount of crab cake with a high quality.
