No trip to Ocean City is complete without a trip to Grotto Pizza! See for yourself why Grottos is rated as the #1 pizza place in OC.
From Six incredible pizza places to try in Ocean City: “Grotto Pizza is a small chain on the Eastern Shore with locations in Delaware, Pennsylvania and of course, Maryland. Grotto Pizza was founded in 1960 by Dominick Pulieri, the son of two Italian immigrants. Even though the people of Sussex County weren’t familiar with pizza at the time, Pulieri quickly found himself serving the locals and even the tourists. You can be confident in the pizza they serve, which has an authentic Italian background, and Pulieri’s story goes to show just how delicious Grotto’s pizza is. Clearly, the same love for Grotto’s has transcended over half a century to today’s generation. If you’re craving a piece of pizza now, Grotto Pizza can be found on 125th and 14th Streets. Both Ocean City locations are open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and on Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.”

Craving all you can eat Maryland blue crabs? There are many restaurants offering AYCE crabs in OC, but our go-to is The Crab Bag in North Ocean City! These is usually a wait, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time for this outing.
From a New York Times review: “Open 11 a.m.-2 a.m., seven days, year-round, the Crab Bag is the place to satisfy your craving for the state crustacean: the blue crab. It’s also the best place to meet a happy local to teach you how to eat them. These folks have been doing it since birth, each with their own method of mallet use (or avoidance), knife (or fork) use, twisting and cracking. No matter who your guide is (they’re all more efficient than you), the main theme is to take your time, sit back, sip your beer and chat up your family and friends. Oh, and as the summer cools into fall, the crabs are best. A heavy crab is a real score. All-you-can-eat hot steamed crabs with fries, coleslaw and corn.”
