Ava's Pizzeria & Wine Bar - Rehoboth Beach

Ava’s is a true gem in Rehoboth. Great food, drinks, atmosphere and friendly service make this spot a must when in town and looking for something more than your typical beach or boardwalk fare.
⭐️ of the show is their Detroit style pizzas! The dough is so soft and airy on the inside, and the crust has the perfect char and crisp. The sauce has a great balance of sweetness and acidity.
Meatballs are another must here! They’re firm to the fork, but they melt in your mouth. *Pro tip* - Dip the crust from your Detroit pie in the sauce of the meatballs, doesn’t get any better than that!
The bolognese was rich and creamy, good flavor and hearty dish. Only downside was the pasta for me. Not sure if it’s the quality of it or if because it sat for quite a long time. Our meal took a very long time to come out and my dish was barely luke warm, and that was the pasta on the bottom of the bowl.
Decided to overlook that misstep because overall Ava’s is a great neighborhood spot that should be on your list when in the area.

We had a most excellent experience here. Awesome food, service and atmosphere. Also a nice wine selection. I believe there's a very positive, chill vibe which, in part, is due to the exceptional people working here. The manager, Tyler, was very engaged and hands-on, delivering dishes, talking with guests and supporting the staff. We had the meatballs (OMG!!) and the spinach dip appetizers. Never had fried parmesan bowtie pasta but it was delicious! Had the Meatball Breeze thin pizza ( meatballs/spinach/sun-dried tomatoes ) - so tasty and fresh! All of their food is from scratch and the flavors confirm that. We can't wait to come back with friends to share this wonderful experience with them.

Ava Pizza and Wine Bar in downtown Rehoboth is a fantastic culinary find, offering a delightful dining experience that goes beyond your typical pizza joint.

What truly elevates the experience at Ava is the staff. Everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, even striking up good conversations that added to the welcoming atmosphere. Their genuine enthusiasm for the menu was evident and much appreciated.

Speaking of the menu, it offers a great variety, ensuring there's something to please every palate. We started with the Caesar salad, and it was absolutely delicious, featuring a homemade dressing that truly made it stand out.
However, the undisputed star of the show at Ava Pizza and Wine Bar is their Detroit Style Pizza. This isn't just good pizza; it's exceptional.
We tried the Mediterranean, and it was "off the hook" – piled high with fresh, vibrant vegetables, an excellent assortment of cheeses, and a dough that was both light and incredibly crispy. It's clear that high-quality ingredients and meticulous preparation are at the heart of their offerings.

While Ava Pizza and Wine Bar might not be a budget-friendly option like a quick slice from Gotto's, the slight bump in price is absolutely worth it for the superior quality of ingredients and the expert preparation.

If you're looking for an elevated pizza experience in Rehoboth, Ava Pizza and Wine Bar is an absolute must-visit.
