    Most recent dine-in, almost every table was dirty, covered with dirty plates, half eaten pizzas, beer bottles and drink cups. We sat at the one table that appeared cleaned but even that table was even used to set empty beer bottles on when other tables needed more room. It just felt like there could not be a reason for any dining room to look like that. It was an early lunch, so possibly the mess was from the night before. If so, the woman working could have attempted to clean up even if she knew it was to be blamed on someone else. Maintaining a presentable dining room should be a priority. I love the place so I gave it a three stars. We haven’t been back since, i hope that was just a one time thing.

    This is a neat place to visit. They put some effort into creating a unique atmosphere related to the beach. We enjoyed our pizza. It was slightly greasy, but meat pizzas can be that way. Like most places right now, they are under-staffed. In spite of that, they made sure to keep our drinks full and were friendly. I will visit again if I have the chance.

    The quality of the food at Wave is great, but both times I've been the service wasn't great. There were 4 tables when I got there, and 4 wait staff that we could see and I sat and waited for 15 minutes before even being asked about drinks. When I ordered, I ordered gluten free. I said it twice because I have an allergy. When the pizza came out, it was not gluten free. When I asked the waitress, she rolled her eyes and said she would check. The chef shook his head no, that it wasn't gluten free. This could have ended really badly if I hadn't payed attention to the crust of the pizza.

    Wish I would have just tried the pizza. I've heard its really awesome. I chose wings because my table was all having wings. And the wings were great as far as perfect heat, big solid pieces but totally ruined with salt overkill. Hopefully, that was a one time thing. I will try them again but if that's the normal salt intake with their meals then I will definitely opt out after that. Atmosphere is laid back. Normal for that type of establishment mid afternoon. Just really wish I had tried the pizza instead!! Darn it!! Next time!!

    First time I came here, I enjoyed it. A couple of times after that, food and service went downhill. Pizza has gotten overly greasy and ingredients taste cheap. Decided to give it just one last shot and we were greeted with a rude employee/manager/owner telling us it is getting close to lunch time and we could not stay. This was after we entered the UNLOCKED door. It was probably around 1:30 P.M. at this time.

    The restaurant is beach themed with lots of surfboards and a real VW bus inside. We had great service even when it was a very busy Saturday night. The have specialty pizzas but you can make your own as well. We will return.

    We got 3 pizzas to go. One was gluten free. They were very good.

    This is such a funny weird place. Really enjoy the salt shaker story (I relzin d doubtful). The pizza are delicious, the sandwiches are ok (a little disappointed by the bread, i had hope more home made than store style bun). Service is good, but a little slow (they are training so understandable). It took 45 min to get our Pizzas... And we were one of the only two parties there (however we saw a few people picking up order). To be fair it is a low five stars.

    Unique pizzerias are often must haves in some communities. People all over Chicago tell you about their favorite deep dish place. People from New York constantly ask, "Have you tried a pie yet?" Heck, it's so common, Little Ceasars made up that their pizza is Detroit style. This place is that for Grand Island. Unique flavors, great sides, a theme very unique and uncommon. It's a must visit and you'll come back for more.

    The place has really gone downhill. It toke over 90 minutes for 7 of us to order and eat. I’ve been to way nicer sit down places that get you in & out in half the time! The pizza was good, but not worth that much of my time to sit and eat it. Will consider other options in the future.

    After 13 hours in the car we were able to track down Wave Pizza and it was the therapy we needed. The atmosphere is incredibly memorable. The pizza is incredible. We were admittedly famished but I don't know if I'd have left as happy as I was had it not been for the insanely good pizza. A must if you're in the area or driving through.

    Damn this place is good! The beer was cold, the pizzas were hot and tasty, and Tasia is a rock star. Keep up the good work!

  • 5/5 Ryan H. 1 year ago on Google
    Our long board was great, but the jalapeno poppers with the raspberry jelly is the best! I would stop, but the spicy Dorothy Lynch wings were dynamite as well. Group of six guys and a table full of appetizers. Top notch and service was fantastic, came in late after the rodeo and they welcomed us in and stayed open to serve us. Kudos to you Wave!

    great place for gluten free pizza. my mom has Celiac's and it's hard to find a good pizza or pasta place that can be trusted to take the correct precautions when preparing the food, so it's a go to choice for us.

  • 5/5 mark k. 10 months ago on Google
    Outstanding atmosphere with great food. It seemed a bit short staffed though and it made the wait for a drink and placing my order a bit long. Definitely the best pizza in Grand Island though.

    We love the salt creek pizza and cheese bread sticks. They say they are adding new items to the menu soon. Can't wait!

  • 5/5 Abby H. 6 years ago on Google
    Good pizza, fun atmosphere. Quite a bit of a wait for the food, but we were there at a very busy time, and their kitchen seemed tiny! The pizzas have thinner crust, good toppings, and lots of options. Good service, friendly. Great find.

  • 5/5 Cheryl B. 5 years ago on Google
    Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the Pizzas are amazing, the service is outstanding and the help is very friendly and fun loving. Great for family and single or couple dining. Ask for the CKT Wave Pizza when you stop in. Tell them Cheryl and Kay say Hi.

    There were 11 of us on our way to the pumpkin patch and we decided to have lunch at waves. We attempted to pull tables together in the outside patio so we could all sit together and the waitress said that the fire marshal wouldn’t allow it which we know for a fact is not true. The waitress did not write down our order and messed up one person’s order two times. We felt very unwelcome there and probably won’t go back.

  • 3/5 Denise D. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was okay but I guess we have to get use that almost everywhere. Limited parking options. There were only 2 other tables with people ordering food and we waited 45 minutes for our pizza. Pizza was good. Fun atmosphere.

  • 2/5 Jamisen A. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool place but terrible service, had to finally ask to be waited on. Horrible manners and was slow. Rude waitress that only wanted to play games and had to be convinced to take our order. Pizza was good but would recommend only getting take out from here. Very greasy also.

    Need to take it easy on the oil pizza box was soaked had to throw leftovers away really soggy and flimsy I except that from dominoes and pizza hut but you guys are better than that usually I get nice crispy chewy pizza from you but last two times have been like this otherwise pizza ingredients were quality and good 👍

    Dined at the Hastings location. Service was horrible. Despite being the only table in the place and three customers at the bar, we sat without drinks multiple times. Had to ask for plates and marinara sauce with our appetizer. My order was not correct. My husbands bbq pizza was more onion than chicken or bbq. I was warned this place wasn’t good. Had to give it a try. We won’t be back.

  • 3/5 Megan M. 2 years ago on Google
    The last time we ordered, I placed the order with lead time of 30-45 minutes online for pickup. After it was submitted, the estimated time moved to almost 2 hours. When we tried calling to inquire - the phone was off the hook? I hope they can find some great staff, this place is awesome.

    The bread sticks are really good. Nice chill pizza spot. We had the cheese and the "Hawaiian". Both were very cheesy so if that's your thing get it normal. We also got a light cheese pizza and it was a more normal amount of cheese. Everything was tasty and service was prompt even though our party was 14 people.
