We had two pizzas. They were crispy, with toppings well placed and cheese out to the edge. Great pizzas! Jonathan was our server, he was also excellent. He hustled and made sure all of our needs were met.

Rarely do I leave reviews. There’s enough yapping out there anyway. This place, however?.......killer. Great beers. Great service. Great pizza. That’s the key too. They focus their talents on one thing.......great pizza. No 5 page oversized menu with a bunch of mediocre dishes. Concise and coherent. I ordered a pizza with a bunch of toppings and where it’s usually soggy and floppy, this thing held its own. Crispy and delicious with every bite. Friendly staff great atmosphere and I loved the music even the stuff I didn’t like.

So I have been to every pizza restaurant in New Haven, as well as Stamford. This is by far the best pizza place I’ve been to for various reasons. It is ALWAYS genuine/nice service, food is always quick and great, and the atmosphere is extremely family friendly. I come here with my friends, but also bring my family whenever they come to visit. Lastly, Noel is WONDERFUL. She is the best service we’ve had in forever. Will be back soon!!!

Greatest bar pie around. This was my second time here. 2 minutes off I95 in Stamford CT. Good looking neighborhood sports bar on the on inside with great pizza. Tried the mushroom and onion, pepperoni, sausage and plain with the hot oil. Placed our order from the road and was ready in 20 minutes. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. Excellent bar pie!

The best thin crust pizzas I ever had in CT. It's clear why their menu is dedicated solely to pizza—it’s exceptional. Visited based on a friend's recommendation, and it was absolutely worth it. If you enjoy spicy flavors, be sure to try the hot oil and stingers.

Colony Grill in Stamford, Connecticut, is a culinary landmark renowned for its distinctive thin-crust pizzas, particularly the signature “Hot Oil” pie—a spicy, pepper-infused creation that tantalizes the taste buds. Established in 1935, this post-Prohibition-style tavern has dedicated its menu to perfecting these crispy, perfectly round pizzas. The ambiance at Colony Grill is both inviting and nostalgic, reflecting its rich history. Patrons frequently praise the friendly and efficient service, contributing to a warm dining experience. While the restaurant can become lively, especially during peak hours with families and young children, it adds to the vibrant atmosphere. For pizza aficionados seeking a unique and flavorful experience, Colony Grill stands as a must-visit destination in Stamford.

Colony is by far the best pizza, imo! I especially love the hot oil & stingers. Our servers were friendly & accommodating. My family & I have been coming to the Stamford location for about 35 years. Highly recommend!

Visited with my wife, got two pizzas, they’re very thin so one per person works well. Got the signature Hot Oil plus a Bacon addition, delicious. The second one was a Pepperoni and cheese, also very good. The pizza is very thin and seems almost fried, crunchy crust and the cheese is great. They only serve pizza btw. The place is an old pub, with a large bar and a variety of drinks.
