Frederica Pizza & Pasta House — Restaurant in Frederica

I have been down to the beaches in Delaware and Maryland for years. On the way (and on the way home) I would always see signs for Frederica Pizza and Pasta House, but it was always too early in the morning to stop. The other day, our plans changed and we left the beach later than usual. Everyone in the car was hungry and I thought, this would be the perfect time to stop in and boy was I glad we did!! (This would be a 4 1/2 star rating if half star ratings were available.) The restaurant is very clean and open. The high ceilings make the space feel larger than it is, but by no means is it small. Ceiling fans help circulate the air making it a very comfortable environment. We sat at a booth which had plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 kids. One slight knock, the seating portion of the booth had a vinyl material that stuck to the back of your legs when you got up. There are non booth tables and a bar area you can eat at and/or enjoy a cold beverage. There is a TV at the bar area and additional TVs are located around the seating areas. Now, the food!! There were so many items we wanted to order, but had to restrain ourselves. We settled on mozzarella sticks and an Arancini ball as an appetizer. The sticks were fine, but can't say they were much different than any other I have had before. The major difference is the marinara dipping sauce. Most places the dipping sauce is really dark red and pasty. This sauce is light and is a vibrant red. The Arancini ball was a golden brown fried piece of perfection. A little bit of ground beef, peas, and Romano cheese rounded out the creamy rice deliciousness. This came with same delicious dipping sauce as the mozzarella sticks. For dinner, everything we ordered was fantastic. The stuffed shells and lasagna hit the spot. Creamy Ricotta cheese, flavorful ground beef (in the lasagna), both topped off with melted mozzarella cheese...how can you go wrong?? The best part of the lasagna was there is a small amount of ground beef. Most places it's layer upon layer of ground beef. Here, it's a small amount, but enough to let you know it's there. The chicken parmesan was a large plate of food. Personally, I like my chicken parm to be thin. Their chicken parm is pretty thick. It was still very good, but I prefer the cutlet to be thinner. Each of the 3 courses I mentioned (stuffed shells, lasagna, and chicken parm) came with soup or salad and choice of italian bread or garlic knots. I had the Maryland crab soup, which was very tasty. The garden salad was fresh and crispy. The bread warm and fresh as were the garlic knots. The last item that was ordered was a personal pizza. The pizza was absolutely perfect. A thin pizza with a nice chew and crispy crust. Fresh sauce and mozzarella topped off the pie. This would be hands down my go to pizza place, if we lived a little closer. We did not stay for dessert because we were exhausted and wanted to get home. Service was friendly and timely. I can tell you that we will definitely be back when we are in...

We are local. We used to order take out once a week. We used to love their food. Ever since the new young guy started, its not as good. We stopped ordering for a month or two. We order tonight thinking all training is done with the new faces we've seen behind the counter. Our order was totally messed up. Got a chicken cheesesteak but never said the word chicken. And what we did get was absolutely disgusting. Way too much seasoning. Its sad because they used to be so good i used to tell everyone to go here for a good cheesesteak. Well they went from the best to the worst I've had and this isnt the first time. They guy never read me my order back, just told me my total and hung up. If my baby wasn't crying i would have called back. Didn't even say how long it would be. Im so disappointed because i used to love this place. Now we will order from Milanos or ls ortalana in magnolia. I dont think we will be back for a very long time. The owners are good people and very nice, but they need to reavluate who they have working their counter and whatever heavy seasoning they've added. Im not one to complain but this is the 3rd time in a row we weren't happy at all with our food and there was plenty of rebound time in between our experiences. Their prices go up but the quality keeps going down. Even if its family working for them, they need to retrain heavily or think about whats best for their business. Eating in is good but i do not recommend using their takeout unless one of the young ladies is working and the middle aged handsome italian man is working. Its highly devestating because i used to CRAVE their food. After the horrible cheesesteak i ate tonight, now all I'll think of being sick. I gave 2/3s of my sandwhich to my dog and even he wouldnt eat it first, but luckily he did so i didnt have to feel totally bummed on wasting...

My family and I went to this place for dinner after seeing it by the house we were staying at on vacation. We were compelled by the mixed and interesting reviews left on google and decided to give it a try. To say it short, this place was amazing. The service and food were great and filling, we had lots to take home for a family of 4.

To start, the lady at the front who checked us in was sweet and made fun small talk while we waited to be seated. We didn’t wait for long, because soon after we got in (it was somewhat busy) we were seated by a nice woman, Renee. She took our drink orders and was extremely nice and funny. Our drinks came quickly and we ordered with no problems.

Our appetizer plate was delicious and gave a taste of multiple different options for an appetizer that all tasted amazing. The main courses were nothing less than perfect. The pizza (half cheese half chicken bacon ranch) was cooked to perfection and the crust was fluffy. The carbonara, lasagna, and bolognese pastas were flavorful and I’m sad to say we had a lot to take home. We had plenty of garlic knots that had lots of garlic on them and were tasty.

The cheesecake was a classic New York style and just what you would expect. It was not very crowded for a Friday night and the portion sizes were huge. The cost for all the food we got was also good, we ordered many big courses and got a great price for it. My family is very happy with this and I highly, highly recommend Fredrica’s Pizza and Pasta House if you are in the area and need somewhere for...
