    Cardboard slice - frozen pizza is better.

    Worst pizza I have ever had. Minimally a pizza has to be better than a frozen pizza - this cardboard product doesn't come close to any frozen brand. The owner should be embarrassed. I called the other pizza place in town and they have a two hour wait for a pie - not surprising! The owner should be embarrassed. Just un freeze some Ellios, your customers would be more satisfied.

    Cheese steak and fries! Hot and delicious!

    My husband and I picked up a cheesesteak and fries last night. Both fresh and delicious! Highly recommend!

    Get your tetanus and vaccination shots!!! Dirty, Outdated, Upstairs smells like pee, carpet cleaner left out - can't clean that carpet, pizza tastes like glorified Ellios cardboard, and it's operated by too many teenagers.

    This is half of the small cheesesteak! The large is 18 inches!

    So glad the boys and I remembered Surf's Up as we finished our day on the beach today! We went for an everything cheesesteak and a large bacon pizza which were both fantastic! Customer service was phenomenal and Surfs Up will certainly be a yearly tradition for @MartinMountainMen

    Cheesesteak sandwich was good. Large is a little pricey but you can feed up to 3 people with it. Fries and pizza are good to.

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.

Yes, they have pizza, sandwiches, and other options... but the empanadas have won it all for me! Two of those delicious pockets and an icy cold Jarritos equal a divine beach bite! 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!

    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.

We came back tonight determined to try their food. We came in with two groups eating and waited to be seated for about 4 minutes before someone came to seat us. Felt odd for the wait but it appeared there were only two people to begin with. Upon being seated, we were served water which is what we wanted and we placed our order. I loved the fish cutouts they had on the wall next to us. Took about 10-15 minutes for our food. We started with the pizza and it was exactly what we wanted. Simple but the flavors were there! Pesto, garlic and the mozzarella cheese that pulled apart string style! Maybe could have been a crispier crust but I was happy to have all those components hit the mark. We dug into the pasta and OH MY GOSH!!! Again, the simplicity of this dish with perfectly balanced flavors. The basil and the garlic on point! Oh and the sauce, light and a refreshing hit with lemon. Shrimp and scallops not over cooked. I kid you not, I would have licked this plate clean if my husband wasn't with me! I cannot fathom why we were the only ones in this restaurant because both dishes were delicious!!! Thank you so much for feeding our seafood cravings. WE WILL BE BACK! Only sad that we found it our last night here. Do yourself a favor, please support this restaurant. This has been added to our MUST GO TO places while visiting.
