DeNovo’s Trattoria

Had a great Cheese Pizza for the kids! The Mrs and I enjoyed the Philly Cheese Steak Pizza. It was Steak, Sauce, Onions, Green Peppers, and Cheese! So delicious. The restaurant is really nice on the inside.

We stopped in for breakfast and loved it! Great service and yummy meals. Cream chip beef was very good! Coffee was best around! Highly recommend.

I have not enjoyed everything I have gotten from there but love there pizza. The philly cheese steak pizza is ridiculously good. It may be the best pizza I have ever had. Salads are good. I need to try more stuff.

Pizza is average and bland, the crust is just tough bread, and the price is not worth it. Domino’s is definitely better overall and can be had for cheaper with coupons.

The Everything pizza is the best I’ve had anywhere! It’s loaded with tons of delicious ingredients (hold the sweet peppers) and every time I get one I’m amazed at how good it is, even leftover and rewarmed the next day. Try it — you won’t be sorry.
We generally get the pizza to go but the dine in menu is also very good and the service is friendly and prompt.
P. s. This review was written by Katie’s dad who is a meat lover. Katie is not a meat lover and would not feel the same about the Everything pizza as I do. Somehow her Unilocal ID is tied to my iPhone.

Eh… it’s okay. I grew up in the NJ/​NY area and am still struggling to find a pizza that lives up to the pizza I have come to know and love from my childhood. DeNovo’s is okay — not bad, not awesome. The salad I got, however, was exceptional… the best I’ve gotten from a pizza chain. The search for my perfect Eastern Shore pizza continues…

The food is freshly prepared and delicious. Their pizza is the best. Tuesday is burger night and they are really good. Best 5.00 burger anywhere! Try them once and you’ll be hooked! They have daily specials and drink specials. The bar is a good place to go after work. They have a full bar and also tables so you can choose. It’s a great friendly place to eat and meet friends after work. If your hungry in the morning, they have great breakfast!

Very good food and friendly service. Always consistent. Whether done in or carry out, pizza salads, sandwiches, daily specials or even breakfast… everything is always very good.

Amazing!!! Called for pick up on my way into town, arrived to a hot, most delicious pizzas I have ever ordered!!! They were ready when we got there too. My family frequents this place multiple times a week, now I know why!

We frequent DeNovo’s every time we are in the Ocean Pines area. From dine in to take out this is absolutely the best place in that area.

I’m gonna give this place 4 stars based on the friendliness and speed of the service. As soon as we sat down, the waitress was there to hand us a menu and a few minutes later, take our order.
We got there right at the end of the breakfast period so we got the breakfast menu. The food was ok but I got the feeling the potatoes had been sitting under a heat lamp for awhile and the toast was very stiff.
Still, the food hit the spot (we had been on the road for 2 and half hours) and the waitress was perfect in every way.
I suspect lunch and dinner are better. I’ll probably be back to check it out then.

I love DeNovos! It is a safe bet restaurant. It is a familiar, family friendly atmosphere. The pizza sauce is perfect and they have daily specials. They can be inconsistent, especially with carry out. But they are responsive if you bring it to their attention. If the owner is in, everything is perfect. Love the music on Saturday night!

Pizza and Greek salad are great! We come to Ocean Pines every summer, and make it a point of dining here. The chicken parmesean dinner is also very good. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who would like a casual family-​friendly dining experience without having to go to the boardwalk and deal with the crowds.

Service is exemplary. Food prep and quality extremely good. Some of the best pizza I’ve had in more than 3 decades having just moved back from So Cal. Highly recommend unless that means I will have to start waiting for service! :)

Stopped in for dinner on Saturday. Really convenient location if you’re in the Pines. Waitress was very pleasant, service was good and the food was excellent. I ordered half rack of ribs. Waitress asked if I’d like to double that to a full rack for only $ 4 more. I did and boy what a meal ! Great ribs and generous helping. We will be back many more times. Give them a try !

Cheese Steak Pizza is a must! Top 5 favorite foods of my life.
I’ve driven from New York 5 times this year just to get Denovo’s Cheese Steak Pizza. Living in a city that is supposedly the land of great pizza, I am surprised that I cannot find anything remotely close to Denovo’s.
I was just in town last weekend, and of course stopped in for my cheese steak pizza fix. Sat at the bar and was entertained by one of the staff members Kacey. Staff is extremely friendly, Kacey made an effort to chat with me as I was dining alone. From the other guest interactions with the staff, I could tell that customers seem very welcome and personal with the staff, as if the restaurant were one big set for the TV show Cheers.
I saw a sign on the bar asking for feedback, so I texted the number provided and was immediately responded to by the owner herself! This place obviously cares about its customers and it’s no surprise why everyone I saw in the restaurant last weekend seemed like they were repeat customers.
If Denovo’s delivered pizza on dry ice, I would order it weekly for my family in NYC.

my family and I went here for dinner one night and overall I would say it was a pleasant experience. Our waitress was very friendly, but a bit slow. Our food seemed to take longer than expected to come out, so I don’t know what was going on there. I ordered the antipasti salad and I really liked it. The salad was really big and they didn’t skimp on any of the vegetables or other toppings. My mom got the eggplant Parmesan, which was okay. The pasta they use doesn’t taste right to me– its very cheap and unappetizing, but the eggplant itself was pretty good (mine’s better: p). My dad got the spaghetti and meatballs, and same story the meatballs were good but the spaghetti didn’t taste very good. the bread they brought out in the beginning was awesome! I could have just eaten that for dinner and been happy. I feel like my roommates and I make tastier meals than what we got here
Also, unfortunately they are a Pepsi product restaurant :(but if you like Pepsi then that’s good for you, but I’m a diet coke kinda girl. I would definitely like to go back and try some of the other dishes, just to see if anything is better than what we got

Like the steak, pizza, some salads, (The brown lettuce shouldn’t be there, more than a few times). Lunch special are great. Take out is slow so order early. Wish there was delivery.
The music is why we don’t go more. Painful.
But the comparison to Whiskers is way off. Obviously has never peeked in the kitchen, bathing optional there.

There aren’t many options for dining in Ocean Pines. We went here because we didn’t feel like driving into OC. I had the veggie pizza and I liked it a lot. My husband had the veal parmesan. He rated it as about a C+. Service was good.

Surly service, decent food… who could ask for more?
Called in an order for takeout and although they took awhile to get everything down, I would at least say that the thoroughness ensured we received the proper order. We feasted on a salad, a Turkey Club, Chicken Parm sub, fries, jalapeño poppers and mozzarella sticks.
Salad was good. Sandwiches were both good. Fries were so-​so. I liked the poppers and the mozz sticks were good but when we got back to the place and opened the bag… no marinara sauce! How am I supposed to eat mozz sticks with no marinara sauce??? I am not some kind of monster raised in a cave, for heaven’s sake!
The cashier could only have been more disinterested if a swordfish was attacking her from behind, but I was able to pay and get in and out quickly, so whatever.
I can sum this up by quoting many former dates of mine: «It wasn’t awful but I wouldn’t run back for it»
