Bernie's Original Italian Ice

The best Italian ice you ever tasted with fruity flavors and real fruit and every flavor offered. The owner, family and employees are friendly as they serve you pizza or Italian ice!

Their pizza is so goood! Nuff said! Seriously it's perfectly crispy and thin. Two slices always, oh my don't judge a book by its cover!

This place hasn't changed much in the 20+ years since I've been back home. They've always had good deals on pizza and water ice. I believe it's the best water ice I've ever tasted which is why I made a specific goal to go downtown and get a big cup of cherry and then shared a lemon with my sister. We got the double slice too just to tide us over until we ate later and it was fresh and delicious. This place is just classically good. It really is a slice if childhood for me because I can remember going down there on a hot summer afternoon with my mom & sister and always having a hard choice on water ice selection as they have quite a few choices. The water ice has very small real chunks of fruit in it to enhance the overall taste. Little maraschino cherries in the cherry and little scrapes of lemon peel in the lemon. Just order at the walk-up window and wait a little bit and walk off with a double slice and a large water ice for about $6. You just can't beat it. I don't know how they make their water ices so soft and super flavorful but they're great.

I have been frequenting this spot since I was a young girl. The water ice here is one of my favorites. The flavor is spot on, and you get pieces of real fruit inside. The pizza compliments it so well. Adults and children will be satisfied.

Awesome. Great quick stop. Food is perfect snack and will bring you back years later. Always kids playing nearby. Just a wonderful area with a nice summertime snack

I love this place. Just discovered it.. The water ice is great and I love the thin slice of the pizza and the crunch of it. I can't wait to go get my fix on Saturday.

It was only relatively recently that I came to know this place as Bernie's. Growing up on Wilmington's West Side, we all referred to it as Double Slice because of the prominent advertising for a double slice of pizza and a water ice. Each summer, heading to Bernie's was often a daily excursion for the best water ice around.

I lived in the city for a few years, left and now I'm back. This was the very first place I went to upon my second coming. The water ice is amazing. A variety of flavor that changes daily. At any given time there is at least 15 some choices including some sugar-free delights. I went there today I got half mango and half pink grapefruit, two of my favorite. If you want to try a new flavor just ask for a sample. Service is always fast and polite, and the prices great. Great way to cool off after getting off of work or just relaxing on a Sunday evening. A small gem in Wilmington for sure.

This is the best water ice!! They have amazing customer service and everyone is so nice, helpful and friendly!!I have gone for single serve as well as 5 gallon tubs for events and parties! Thank you!!
