Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is the best pizza I’ve had in a long time! I’m a pizza snob and this place blew me away. The sauce is perfection and the crust was light and delicious! Our server couldn’t have been nicer!

I used to like this place, but in the last several years it has gone really downhill. First, the food is barely edible. Wings were just okay, tasted like they were frozen and then defrosted. The pizza has never had a very good crust. A..."Baker's pizza" with alot of toppings was still bland, on cardboard-like crust, closer to the taste of a bake-at-home frozen pizza. If you go there for sports or to watch a football game, etc, there's a bigger problem. They have not replaced or upgraded these ancient TVs in years and years. So, most have a faded-out picture, or otherwise hard to watch. The service is generally slow but that was okay until...At 6pm, in the middle of the football game, the waiter starts CLEANING our area. Not clearing tables, but moving tables out from the booths, sweeping the carpeted floor with a broom, sweeping debris up into a handheld bucket. This is rude with customers sitting, trying to eat their meal. It all created a duststorm of dirt - which made us choke - and which fell on the remaining pizza slices, which we left behind. In short, this place is dated, serves crappy food, and does major cleaning not at 10pm after everyone leaves, but at peak dinner hour. Will never return.More

We've been to this location many times before, but want to give a shout out to our server Dave. From the first time we met him to our most recent visit, he has been top notch!!! He is attentive but knows when to let you...be, we never have wanted for anything. He's the best! We always order the same thing as we're creatures of habit... LOVE the loaded sidewinder fries! The pizza is consistently fabulous!More

My wife and I were in the area and decided to have lunch at Grotto's Pizza. We like Grotto's no matter where they are located. We were seated and placed our orders and a short time later our pizza and salads arrived. The food is...good, the service is good. Everybody likes this place. Stop in and enjoy it yourself.More

First visit ever. It was rather dark inside. They had several lunch specials, my husband got the chicken cheese steak and fries. I went with the French Onion soup, nice and cheesey but desperately needed s&p. Also got the individual pizza, perfect size for me...and I ate the second half the next day. Food was pretty good, server however seemed very confused and couldn't answer any of the beer questions my husband asked. We will probably come back.More

Stopped here around 6 pm Saturday night. Gave our name and were told it would be a 15 to 20 minute wait. 30 minutes later we are still waiting and another couple who arrived after us have already been seated. Once we were seated, we...placed our order (my husband selected a burger and fries while I ordered pizza. Mine came out first - the waiter was confused as he thought the burger had already come out. He went back to check. I started to eat my very warm, but not hot, pizza. Turned out the order was separated. I was nearly finished by the time the burger arrived. The burger was dry and missing the cheese. I wanted to order a small gelato, but the waiter took so long coming back that I went to the gelato bar, ordered, paid, and was seated before the waiter returned. I was very disappointed with Grotto as when I was here years ago it was quite good.More

Stopped in here and grabbed a pizza to go. Service was fast and friendly. Pizza was served up HOT and FRESH. Same great taste we have come to expect from Grotto's. We often visit the beach locations. Always glad to grab a pizza from here...when in the area. It is like having a taste of the beach at home. Zesty sauce, crispy crust, real cheese. More of a gourmet pizza. LOVE it! I always call ahead and my order has always been ready when quoted. Staff here has been SUPER friendly. Prices are average, but the pizza is ABOVE average. Would recommend and will be back.More

I was working in the area & decided to grab a Grotto Pizza to-go for lunch. I called ahead and was quoted about 15 minutes, which was perfect. When I arrived my pizza was ready and waiting for me. Clerk was VERY friendly and welcoming....Overall, a GREAT experience at this Grotto Pizza location. Service was FAST and friendly. Food was served up HOT and was very tasty. I love their pizza. The sauce is sweet. The crust is perfect: not too thin, not too thick. It is crunchy on the edges, but not to crispy. Prices are reasonable. I would visit here again IF in the area. Great pizza, reminiscent of those found on the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk without having to fight the beach traffic!More

Took the family to Grotto Pizza in Wilmington over the New Years holiday....Very good thin crust pizza...close to the Boardwalk Pizza from the shore. Service was excellent at this location as well. We ordered their standard famous cheese only as well as a white pizza....Both very good. Also ordered a glutten free pizza that was thin crust and tasted excellent according to our guest who ate it. The Buffalo Wings were not as good as expected...ordered them extra crispy and they did not come that way. Overall this was a very good place to take the family and would definitely go back again next time in the area.More

Grotto started in Delaware. I don't like to think of it as a chain. It sounds a little offensive to this Delawarean. Every Grotto I have visited from N. Wilmington to the beach has been consistent. I enjoy the dine in specials, especially the half...price boli nights. The cheesesteak boils are very good. I am a fan of Grotto Pizza. The taste is different than the other pizza places around here (and there are a lot). I do think they are a little overpriced unless you go on a specials night (more than one night a week). The sign outside of the Concord Pike location displays that day's special. The wings and fries are good, but expensive. I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and the option to sit at tall tables and watch a baseball or football game. Lastly, Grotto is very open to doing school fundraisers and giving a portion of the check back to the organization.More

Stopped in here for lunch one day since I was working in the area. Was seated immediately. Our waiter was around pretty quickly and took our order. We ordered a large pizza. Meanwhile, we grabbed a basket of the FREE popcorn to nibble on. It...took about 20 minutes to get our pizza, which seemed a bit slow since the restaurant was rather empty. Pizza was excellent. It has good texture and a nice crispy crust. Tomato sauce is sweet, yet a little zesty. Cheese is tossed on in the classic Grotto's ring fashion. Pizza was cooked perfectly at this location! However, the water here is TERRIBLE. Overall, our dining experience was good. The food was excellent. Dining atmosphere was comfortable and appeared clean. Ladies restroom needed some attention. Service was friendly, but time to get food could have been faster. Our waiter disappeared after dropping off the check, which is a pet peeve of mine. I don't want to waste another 15 minutes waiting to pay. I would probably dine here again as the pizza was excellent, but I would NOT go here if in a hurry as it took us 50 minutes from time we were seated to the time we walked out the door!!More
