Louie's Pizza

What a great experience we had in Louie's Pizza restaurant - it is a legend for a reason.

It is my first time to visit Rehoboth after a long drive, and choosing Louie's Pizza to dine in and take a break, was a great decision ever.

The pizza is the star – a perfect New York-style slice with a thin, foldable crust that has just the right amount of chew. The sauce is yummy and the cheese is perfectly proportioned.

The vibe is exactly what you want from a beach-town pizzeria: casual, bustling, and full of character.

The service was fast and very friendly.

If you're at the beach and craving an amazing, no-fuss pizza, Louie's is the undisputed champion. Strongly recommended.

Went to Louie’s on Tuesday, July 22 at 5:30pm. Got a table for four in their small indoor dining area which is air conditioned (see picture). There were a number available tables at that time. It got quite busy within 15 minutes after we arrived.

Sabrina was our server and took our order very quickly. We ordered one large pizza (see pic of half the pizza… the slices were gone before I could snap the shot) and two cheese steak grinders. Kids said the grinders were very good.

As for the pizza… is it New York style… no, is it Chicago deep dish… no, is it Rehoboth traditional beach pizza with a nice crispy outer crust, YES!! We love Louie’s pizza and it is very nostalgic for those who have been coming here for years.

Oh, I’ll be back again soon!

I just don’t understand the hype, or the high rating for that matter. Ordered a regular plain cheese slice last night on the boardwalk for $4.50 (yes $0.75 more per slice than Grotto’s) and I was the only one there. A wrong number was called out, no one came up, then my number shortly after… it was a few teenagers running the takeout section so… yeah.

As you can see from the photo, there is not a drop of tomato sauce on the entire slice; therefore, it tasted near flavorless. Got some garlic and grease in my mouth, then I had to walk across the street to Grotto’s and get their slice of cheese to satisfy my pizza craving. At least it was cheaper. Yep, $4.50 flushed down the toilet.

If you’re looking for a great NY-style cheese slice in Rehoboth you won’t find it on the Boardwalk. Maybe in a few years? This was my second visit, as the first time I tried a slice from Louie’s it was similarly bland. I wanted to give it a second chance due to the high rating (?) and because the place was very busy when I went back in June.

Louie’s is mediocre at best.
