Fairfax Grotto Pizza could be razed to build a gas station | Exclusive
The Fairfax Grotto Pizza may become a Dash In gas station, according to recent plans filed with New Castle County. Grotto Pizza announced in the spring it would be moving its Concord Pike restaurant across the street into the Avenue North development as the lease on its building was ending. After Grotto Pizza spent nearly 20 years in the Fairfax Shopping Center, the restaurant could be razed to make room for a gas station and adjacent car wash. The Becker Morgan Group submitted plans on behalf of Dash In to demolish the 7,000-square-foot restaurant and build a 6,150-square-foot convenience store, 12 gas pumps and a 1,350 Splash In drive-thru car wash. A Dash In spokesperson declined to comment on plans for the new location. The pizzeria will move into a new standalone building being constructed next to Brew Haha! by mid-2027, President Jeffrey Gosnear previously told Delaware Online/The News Journal. The new building will mimic Grotto Pizza's Dewey Beach location, with a more modern and industrial look that includes garage doors along the side of the building that open to an outdoor seating area. .oembed-frame { width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; border: 0; } Subscribe to What’s Going There
