Grotto Pizza Inc. is a renowned American restaurant chain specializing in Italian-American cuisine with a particular emphasis on its signature pizzas. Established in 1960 in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, by Dominick Pulieri and his in-laws, Joseph and Mary Jean Paglianite, the restaurant has grown from a modest take-out stand into a beloved regional icon.

The cornerstone of Grotto Pizza's menu is its distinctive pizza, characterized by a swirl of sauce atop the cheese. This unique presentation sets it apart from traditional pizzas.

The menu offers a variety of specialty pizzas, including the "Mama Grotto," a thick, pan-baked, homestyle pizza with hearty tomato sauce and cheese; the "Baker's Choice," featuring pepperoni, mushrooms, sweet peppers, sausage, onion, garlic, and extra cheese; and the "Meat Lovers," topped with pepperoni, sausage, and ground beef.

For those preferring a white pizza, options like the "Bianco," with onion and a special blend of spices, and the "Veggie Bianco," which includes roasted vegetables, black olives, tomatoes, and a special blend of spices, are available.

Beyond pizzas, Grotto Pizza's diverse menu includes calzones, strombolis, appetizers, soups, salads, submarine sandwiches, cheesesteaks, burgers, pasta, Buffalo wings, and desserts like gelato.

This extensive selection caters to a wide range of tastes, ensuring that every guest finds something to enjoy.
