This is the bar pie pizza staple. I got takeout from this, just a cheese pizza. The crust was thin and chewy while the cheese and sauce were ok. The pizza is not bad and if you like bar style then I would say get it here since it is reasonably priced for the quality and portion. read more

Colony Grill - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Excellent menu: pizza, salad pizza, and a breakfast pizza. Pizzas are reasonably priced and so tasty. Excellent thin and crispy crust. Dining in or getting to go are both great options. Open late, so it is great for pizza if you're not getting home until later in the evening. read more

Colony grill hits the spot. Thin, crispy, greasy pizza... and starts at $10..what more can you ask for?? read more

Obsessed with Colony Grill! We drive here from DC frequently because we love the pizza so much. Service is wonderful! 10/10!

I have no idea what New Haven pizza is, but that is what you will find here. And it is great! This thinnest crust pizza I have ever had, and I loved the topping choices. We had the breakfast pie, meatball pizza, and the salad pizza, they were all 3 fantastic. The service was outstanding! Incredibly friendly and accommodating. So glad I stumbled across Colony Grill! read more

My only complaint is that they're 20 min out. Yummmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Tastier when drunk read more

Really good pizza, and very inexpensive. Good service, order came out right away. Small menu, but if you want pizza, this is a place to go.

Holy shit I don't know how people think the pizza here is good. It's apparently a staple in Connecticut and honestly whenever I hear someone is from there I ask them if they've heard and 9/10 they do. This Arlington location is definitely bleeding money from the home location(s) in Connecticut. They need to go back to doing Burgers and actual food a "Grill" would serve - not this cracked with grease poured on top. I don't eat Ranch with my pizza but I do recall they literally laugh at the notion of a guest asking for it and many servers will say - "What are we? Cheesecake Factory?" (I used to work here) They have a badass design for the building but man it's such a waste. They won't show the debate or UFC fights because one is too controversial and the other well... Bloody etc. Definitely niche customer base but it's not gonna be here for the next decade I tell you. read more

Pizza was as greasy as gas station pizza, drinks were good, and the servers were nice. But the only thing I was really craving was the pizza, and that was a disappointment. Nice and cozy restaurant with a suburban feel and nice ambiance. Probably would not go there again when craving pizza. (also meatballs were mid) read more

"This place is my favorite pizza place. It has the best pizza. It should be 5 stars and everything there is so nice. The people are really nice too. The pizza has the perfect amount of everything. You must try it! " - review from my 8 year old son. read more

Wow- how did I not know about this place? And why was it empty at lunch today??? A friend knew of this in Connecticut and suggested it. We got separate pizzas since our tastes were wildly different and I didn't want his half pizza contaminating mine :). My friend got the sausage, anchovies and hot oil. He loved it and ate most of it. My pizza was amazing! I got fresh mushrooms. They were fresh and sliced thinly. I only wish they had fresh arugula to add. I ate more than planned because it was soooooo good! Samuel provided. great service. Booths are big. read more

Colony Grill is a solid place to hang with friends. They have a pretty good list of beers and other drinks at reasonable prices. For food, they only serve pizza. While that's limiting in some respects, it allows for quick, efficient, flexible service. The pizzas come out quickly, they're legitimately good, and a pizza that serves two hungry adults for a full meal or more people if you're looking more for a snack or aren't super hungry is $10.50 plus $1.50 per topping. The breakfast pizzas (served all day), topped with egg, cheese, and your choice of bacon or sausage are $13.50... and they're delicious. They have a number of TVs for watching games. They have bar seating, high tops, standard table seating, and booths... You can find seating options for a wide range of gatherings. The service is quick and a casual sort of friendly. While across a handful of visits, Ive always gotten pretty good service, my wife and I got especially good service on a recent brunch visit. They don't have super fancy or super big screens, or the most screens. Their food and drinks aren't fancy. But, if you want a casual spot to eat a pizza, watch a game, and drink a Yeungling, Colony Grill is a great option. read more

Love this place, classic sports bar type place with fast think pies. After much experimentation my go to order is a well done hot oil pie with extra cheese. read more

Absolutely horrible service. waiter was extremely rude, food was horrible, and everything was overprice. Do not come here.

Sometimes you just need that extra greasy pizza that his the spot. Look no further! Colony House's menu is not expansive (they only make pizza) but they make up for it in quality. It's not artisan pizza but it's the perfect pizza to pickup after night out or to grab a few boxes for a game night with friends. They don't have salads (although they do have a salad pizza.... Whatever that is) so don't come here looking to get anything other than pizza. read more

The pizza itself was fine. Thin crust pizza is my go-to but here there wasn't that much sauce or cheese. The breakfast pizza just tasted like toast with dry egg and some bacon. The hot oil pepperoni with sausage was probably the best one of the three we ordered. Overall, a spot with lots of beer and pizza so if that's your thing, you might like it. Friendly waiter but I had picked up fries from another place because my friends and I were walking around the area and wanted to pop in for pizza, and another waiter asked me to put them away which didn't make sense to me since we all ordered a whole pizza and were waiting for them, and they didn't even have fries on the menu. They also had few people in the restaurant at the time. I understand maybe it was protocol but it seemed rather rude. read more

Man I don't really get it. There is nothing on the menu but pizza. The place is 100% empty and the bar tender spent the entire time yapping up another staff member about her problems or his. Not really sure and don't really care. Regardless of pizza quality this place will be going out of business. Silly model w no options and the service is awful. Honest pizza review coming next. Super cracker thin. If you like oily this might be for you. So much oil. Only positive; the music was good. read more

Such good crispy thin crust pizza! I'm a fan of an olive and mushroom pizza but the salad pizza with cheese is also delicious. Leaving four stars because I did find a hair baked into my pizza read more

Colony Grill - Olive and mushroom pizza - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I was excited to hear that a new pizza place had opened up in Clarendon and the taste did not disappoint at all. But I'm docking a star for the price point and some transparency issues. Food: 4/5 I tried the Hot Oil Pizza with sausages (4.5) and the half-salad half meatball/onion pizza (4), which were both great. I would have to say that the pizzas can get quickly pricy if you add on toppings. It would make sense to only charge half for the topping if it's only for half the pie, but I guess I was wrong. So stick to one or two toppings and it will be very much worth your trip. More than that, I would say would be a bit overkill and not worth the price point. Also, I was told on the phone that though they don't have a happy hour menu, the drinks are cheaper than what's priced in the community. This didn't turn out to be true with draft beers for $7 and my IPA can being $10. I wish that the prices were on the menu because there's a lack of transparency. Service 4.5/5 The service was great and I feel like they did everything they could to be accommodating in a new environment. It was also good of them to suggest balsamic vinegar as a dipping sauce, as it was unique. Cleanliness 4/5: They are abiding by all covid safety measures. Ambiance 4.5/5: I would really like to see their wall of heroes fleshed out. It's a nice place that could double as a local pub but also a casual date night eatery. read more

Love colony grill + all the vibes. I lived in CT for a bit so was very familiar with colony grill when I moved to NOVA. My go to fave is the salad pizza with the cheese on the bottom. If i go more traditional pizza, I love meatball + hot oil. Frequent often for a sports game or to just chill. Fair prices and great staff! read more

Decided to come here because of the great pizza reviews, but I was disappointed. The breakfast pizza was so bland that I did not finish it. The pepperoni sausage and hot oil pizza was decent. I would order it again as bar food if my friends and I returned to catch a game at the bar and drink. The bar itself is pretty chill and has a normal pub vibe. The service was mediocre and I wouldn't return solely for the pizza. There are better pizza options in the area. read more

The pizza wasn't good. The crust was weird, like almost pastry like...??? And sauce was almost sweet...? And the cheese was, I think, processed. I won't be back. read more

Onions, anchovies, hot oil. Get the Salad Pizza as a palate cleanser. Thank me later. read more

Went here on 09/03/24 for pick up and had a plain cheese pizza. I prefer when trying a new pizza place to always get it plain the first time around. I felt that it needed a bit of salt but overall, I thought it had a nice chew and crispy edge. I would definitely come back. read more

Absolutely great place with excellent thin crust pizza and outstanding service. Try the hot oil with your favorite topping.

It took my friend's wife, who is from Iowa, to tell my dumb arse -- a guy born and raised in Connecticut, to try Colony Grill which originated in Stamford, CT. Yes, there are similar places in North Jersey and suburban NY, but this is a genre of pizza I never experienced, and I really wish I had done so sooner. With Pete's Apizza across the street now gone, this is probably the closest experience to New Haven-style pizza you can get down here, save for Pepe's outside of Old Town, of course. Put simply, this pizza is excellent. They have BLACK olives (the way Jeebus intended) and I even like the anchovies. Personally, I prefer eating it on site, fresh out of the oven. It travels OK, but it cools faster than other pizzas given its thinner crust, so be warned if that matters to you. However, chuck it in the oven, or heat on the stove in a skillet when you get home to recreate the experience. The bar is great to sit and eat at as it has lots of TVs and the entire setup of the place is quite comfortable and accommodating for parties of varying sizes. The staff has always been friendly and tolerant considering the last couple of times I have been there I have been knee-deep in the domestic swill offered from the good people at Budweiser. Sadly, I must dock one star because if, you are based in CT, and don't offer Foxon Park White Birch beer, you earn a trip to Dante's Sixth Circle of Hades. All joking aside, I am SO glad this place is within stumbling distance from my home. read more

First I really do like their thin crust bar pie style pizza, I like that you can easily customize them and the interior is very nice. But I really don't understand their business model (yes I know it has worked for 90 years but maybe not with Clarendon rents), add some appetizers and side salads - that way people can linger and have multiple drinks, also I don't think of it as dinner place - just a pie isn't enough. Whenever we go in (lunchtime) it's pretty empty and with three empty restaurants nearby it might be time to adapt or die. read more

The pizza was amazing. I love how they offer the oil and dressings on the side. Quick service but I wish the waiter didn't come around so much. Always busy and loud. read more

I am not normally a thin crust pizza fan but my oh my (!!!) this place blew me away. This pizza is one of THE BEST I've ever had -and I love pizza A LOT. There's so much flavor in each slice, it's crispy and it does not make you feel gross after so what more could you ask for?! We did not dine in and instead ordered two pizzas to go and it's best to eat hot. Even hot, it's still crispy! Next time I'm in town, I will certainly be returning here for their pizza. The fact that this place only has pizza and drinks on their menu shows they are truly pizza experts. When we picked up the pizzas the inside was packed also so that is very telling of the quality of the food. If in the DC/ VA area, do yourself a favor and stop by. It's delicious! read more

Awful establishment with one of the worst Irish pub experiences I've ever seen. Pizza was overcooked and burnt to the crisp. Wouldn't recommend to anyone who lives in the Arlington area. Not a real bar experience. You want a real one, go to Ireland Four Courts or O' Sullivan's 2 blocks down, etc. read more

Incredible spot for cult favorite pizza. Pizza (or a salad) are your only food options so know this before you go! Their pizza is famous for a reason. You pay per topping and the regulars would advise you to make the peppers or oil as one of them. My go to is meatballs onions and mushrooms. They also offer vegan cheese as an alternative and it's Daiya brand. It's one of the few places with good vegan cheese options. The host and staff are always attentive and helpful and they have multiple tvs making it an ideal spot to catch a game. read more

Great pizza and Guinness for lunch! Only thing missing was a really good house ranch to help curb the stingers :)

I had been hearing about Colony Grill for years ever since I found out then now-Rangers GM Chris Drury was involved in the business. I never expected one to make is way down to my neck of the woods but after running a 5 mile race in Virginia Beach that morning and a 3 hour drive north, I felt this would be the perfect spot to visit. All I had heard about was hot oil this and hot oil that. So I got the hot oil, along with sausage on my pizza. From the time I ordered, it took about 13-14 minutes to come out to my bar table. I enjoyed the pizza, it was super crispy all the way through, the oil added a very notable kick, nothing painful, but certainly strong. The amount of sausage was disappointing, I had maybe two crumbles for each slice. Finishing the pizza was no problem, especially with such a thin crust. Prices are reasonable enough, although I had to pay to park at a garage down the street. And they do have a full bar with a great variety of beers and seltzers. read more

A great spot for great no frill pizza! They only have pizza and alcohol on the menu, so you know the pizzas got to be good. It's very much a sports bar atmosphere which is fun, but if that's not your vibe they do a ton of take out service as well. There's plenty of seating and even an upstairs section too. I didn't think the servers were the nicest, but it was a busy day. The concept is simple. Create your own pizza with their toppings. Each topping is an additional cost and there's no recommended pizza. Everyone will recommend the spicy oil, but I honestly didn't notice the spice it added. If you're looking for hot then you've gotta add the peppers! Warning the pizza is thin crust and not super saucy. Still a solid pizza, but definitely know what you're getting into. read more

Your making a mistake if you don't get the hot oil pizza. Just come prepared because pizza and beer is the only thing on the menu. It taste the same every time and is just as good at the colony's in CT. I've made the mistake getting it for take out and it looses some of its crisp in the box. read more

The only thing on the menu is pizza (and breakfast pies). We saw this place from the street and I immedietely assumed it was an Irish pub. It is not. Although they do claim to be Irish originated, I feel I need to warn anyone who walks in off the street that this is not an Irish pub and does not serve Irish food. I was mildly disappointed when we sat at the bar as I was craving some Irish food and a Smithwick's or Harp. With that being said, I thought that pizza was tasty, and the staff were friendly and efficient. They do have a decent variety of beers, although few Irish options. I will come back when I am craving that thin-crust, bar-style pizza, though. read more

Colony Grill - pizza with cherry peppers and sausage - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Great addition to the Clarendon neighborhood. Menu is quite simple. They only serve thin crust pizza, and you choose your toppings for $1.75 per topping. Pizza is thin and crunchy. I suppose you would consider this as bar pizza, and it is quite tasty. I had mushrooms as a topping, and thought it was delicious. Pizza is firm and doesn't have much flop. A little on the greasy side, but I loved the crust and 12 inches of pie was more than enough to fulfill my hunger. Service was very good, as food and drinks were brought out in a timely manner. Booth and seats are comfortable. They have a bar area as well if you want to watch a game or whatever. Will definitely return if I want a thin crust pizza. read more
