Grotto Pizza is bright and cheerful, with sports on TV for the adults and, in some locations, arcade games for the kids. From pizza to spaghetti to chicken fingers, the menu satisfies all. various locations, grottopizza.com

We enjoyed the cozy booths and overhead model train at the original First Street location of Nicola Pizza. We love the big, new restaurant on the avenue. 8 N. First St., Rehoboth Beach, 227-6211; 71 Rehoboth Ave., Rehoboth Beach, 227-6211; nicolapizza.com
