I would like to share a recent experience at Colony. My family and I (party of 5) sat and ordered pizza. 4/5 pizzas arrived as expected and were excellent. The 5th pizza did not come out with the others. After several minutes we were able to ask our waitress about it. She went to check, and clearly a mistake was made as time ticked on. A manager came over and apologized profusely and took the pizza off the bill without being asked to. The pizza came out soon after and was hot and delicious. I am very appreciative of this excellent level of service. We will be back. Often. read more

Colony Grill - Pizza - Sports Bars Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

Opened in 1935 in Stamford, CT. The restaurant now has grown to 9 locations along the East Coast. I always go with the hot oil pie and I always leave satisfied. The pizza is its own style entirely nothing like New Haven apizza or a New York slice. If you like thin crust bar pizza, this is the spot for you. I would argue it's the best bar pizza I've ever had. read more

Colony Grill - Hot oil pizza - Sports Bars Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

This was a really wonderful, if simple, experience. Colony Grill had been on my radar for years. I love spicy food, so their hot oil pizza has been recommended to me a few times. Finally a close friend, who grew up in CT and now lives out of state, said it was one of the things she missed most. So I finally had to go. She also knows that I have a lot of dietary needs and although I like many styles of pizza, super thin bar style crust works a lot better/is more accessible for me. Really thankful to have that option. I was in the area, so I placed an online to go order for just a hot oil pie. When I walked in, I loved how open and spacious it was. The pickup counter was clearly marked, and I was greeted warmly by multiple people. I was even offered plates and napkins, which was great since I wanted to try it fresh in the car. It was an especially pleasant and smooth pickup experience. Really impressed. As for the pizza, I loved it. Just the right amount of oil so that it wasn't unpleasantly or excessively greasy. The spice was a great touch. I enjoyed the ratios, from the thin crust to cheese to sauce. It was a delicious pizza and one I could order a lot more often than most other pizzas. I can't wait for them to open one closer to me. 2 are planned! I thought the price point was great, too. Under $15 with tax. It is the size of a larger small/medium pie, on par with most Neapolitan style ones, and with how thin it is I'm sure it's a personal size for someone with a large appetite. But that's not me! So this was a 5 star experience for me. Really impressed, and I look forward to future visits! read more

Sorry to say, but Colony was good not great. If you like a bar pie, you would be happy but for me there wasn't enough cheese and flavor. Service was slow, but there was a World Cup game on. Vibe was fun, but I've had much better pizza in NY/NJ read more

We've been going to colony for nearly 10 years, since I first started at Fairfield U. The pizza is always consistently good, and the staff does a great job of bringing them out quickly. No frills, just great food! It's usually pretty unchanged here, but on this visit we did try their new buffalo chicken special and drinks on this visit, and we were definitely impressed. Always makes for a great walk down memory lane and I can't wait for many more visits! read more

I've been a fan of colony for years. What they do, they do very well. I can understand if the style of pizza isn't great for everyone, but I love their thin pies. Pepperoni pies are great as well but it's not especially spicy pepperoni. Each time I've been to colony in Fairfield the place is absolutely packed. Everything from families with very young kids, to high schoolers to young adults... I've always had to wait for a table. But generally, the weight is not that long. The place is loud. There is no way around it. But it's a festive kind of loud, not annoying or obnoxious. The decor honors those who have served. The service is always friendly and because the menu is a deep they can turn around pizzas very quickly. Without reservation, I would recommend giving colony a try. read more

Super cool place. Liked the vibe on a Sunday evening which was surprisingly jam packed. Pizza was good. I ordered a breakfast pizza with both sausage and bacon. Loved the sausage, not a fan of the bacon. My friend ordered the salad pizza which I tried and also enjoyed. Tasted like a salad, duh, and the crust acted as croutons. Rather unique. read more

Mainly come here because this style pizza which kids like. Service and quality always inconsistent, in this case again disappointing. Once again was slow yet initial order was brought in with Salad pizza showing up. 25 mins into lunch. Our customer local point was no where to be found when she did show up was at end. When bringing food out we had two little ones with us and did not take caution when placing hot pizza. This location continues to go down in service!! Maybe they have been growing too fast. Since you respectfully disagree what c is basically saying I don't hear what you are saving all good, NO need for further responses- Respectfully a course read more

Hopping spot with quick seating, good pizza, efficient and pleasant service. The restaurant was teaming with patrons but we were seated by a hostess and greeted by a server in a very timely and friendly way. This here is thin-thin-thin crust pizza, so know that before you go. Also, nothing but pizza on the menu. Hot oil pizza is a must. Srsly, it is very tasty and not so hot to be off putting for those worried about too spicy. read more

I've ordered from this location many times over the past 15 years and the quality, ambiance and taste never disappoint. I finally tried the eggplant pizza today which was amazing! I'm writing this review though to specifically commend the excellent service. In addition to great attention to customers, Brooks took the time to help me today when I was desperate and had car troubles outside. Not many people would do that for someone they don't know, and I think this really speaks to the type of care you can expect to get here. 10/10 service and experience always at Colony Fairfield! And thank you Brooks! read more

Colony is normally my favorite pizza, however my visit to the Fairfield location today is a total blunder. Been sitting down for 35+ minutes, haven't even been asked for a drink order. My buddies and I have been sitting here with nothing on our table for over half an hour, watching the people who got here after us already eat their pizza. A table of 11 got here, ate, and left before we have even received waters. Again, I thoroughly enjoy their pizza, but the service today was absolutely abysmal. Gonna stick to the Norwalk location for awhile. read more

We went here after attending a basketball game. We ordered 3 pizzas and everyone thoroughly enjoyed them, food came out pretty quickly and was perfectly prepared. The waitstaff did a fine job of keeping glasses full and we would definitely return. Nicely decorated and comfortable with a large bar area, seems like a nice place to spend some time. read more

Colony is a vibe! If you are dining during a peak time, get ready for a crowded waiting area, lots of noise, but families/tables that all seem happy to be there. The waitstaff understands the demands of their busy restaurant, and the pizza is always solid. One time in particular, it was incredibly crowded, and the pizza was taking longer than normal, and we had our then three-year-old with us. The manager walked around with plain pizza and handed out slices to the kids that had been waiting a long time. That extra effort went a long way! read more

I am super surprised. We've always loved Colony, live just a few blocks away. But today, the pizza was delivered (right away) as dry a a bone. Cheese congealed into the crust, it was not edible. Seriously, as if it had been sitting out on the counter overnight. So bummed. read more

Colony Grill - Pizza, like it was left on a counter overnight. - Sports Bars Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

I'm a New Haven native and pizza is such a thing. I came here twice as I thought maybe the first time was off. Nope. I really don't understand why the high reviews and comparison for the best pizza around. It's thin crust -- I'll give it that. But too thin. I just wasn't a fan. I know it's a staple to the area and people seem to love it, and hopefully they'll continue to thrive. Just wasn't my thing. Friend had a hot oil pizza and I had a pepperoni and onion. She's not from the area but also agreed that it wasn't a pizza she's come back to order again. read more

Colony Grill - Hot oil pizza! - Sports Bars Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

My bf and I stopped by for a late dinner on the way to nyc and we were very impressed! I've heard good things about Connecticut pizza, but this was the first time having it. We ordered our own pizzas because they looked small enough but looks are deceiving. I got bacon, olives, and hot oil (as recommended by other reviews) and it was delicious! I wish the pizza was a little spicier, and wish I subbed the bacon for something else as it made the pizza greasier but overall I really enjoyed it. The service was a little slow, which was surprising because the restaurant itself wasn't very busy. Nonetheless we still had a great time and would love to come back again! read more

We came around 5pm on a Saturday and it was filling up fast. We got seated in a booth and the service was attentive. This place is good for little kids as it's loud so you're not disturbing your neighbors. Ordered the pizza with stingers (whole roasted spicy peppers), hot oil, and sausage. This was my first time eating the famous Connecticut super thin pizza and bear in mind that I'm a Nyer! I didn't love the pizza but it was good. I would have omitted the hot oil as it made the pizza to slippery and did not amplify the taste. The personal pizza size could probably feed 1.5 people. As someone who eats spicy, I didnt think the stingers were too hot and the hot oil had a small hint. read more

Came back here yesterday and I can't say enough. It was busy and the hostess told us it would be a 45 min wait, but we were seated in 20 min. I got a Twisted Tea, and we got three pizzas: 1. Half cheese, half sausage 2. Hot oil, stingers, and half olive 3. Salad pizza Everything came out promptly and tasted amazing! Hands down one of the best thin crust pizza places I've tried! I can't wait to come back! read more

Pizza is thin. Like matzoh smeared with tomato sauce and cheese. Not very tasty. Usually a long line

We were visiting from out of town. This was where we ended up. This was our first visit but not for people that we were with. This was during Thanksgiving week, and the place was packed but was able to be seated within 5 minutes. The service was good. The menu has one item - pizza. There are no starters and desserts. NO OTHER OPTIONS. Everyone ordered their own pizza with various topping. The three that ordered with at least hot oil as one of the toppings loved their pizza. It's packed with flavors. It's not too spicy at all. I ordered one with mushrooms and onions. Not the greatest choices. Onions were very thinly sliced rings, not a good way to have onions on a pizza. With only these two toppings, it did not give the pizza much flavor. However, I did try a piece with the hot oil, which is definitely the way to go. I wish there were starters and more topping options, but I guess that is not the concept for the restaurant. Overall, it was a good experience and tasty pizzas (with the right toppings). I would eat the pizzas from here again. read more

I wasn't a huge fan of the pizza here. I think it's mainly for those who enjoy thin crust pizzas. I'm more of a fan of the regular pizza, so my cheese pizza tasted bland / like cardboard. The service was amazing though and everyone was super friendly. Just not my kinda pizza. read more

Colony Grill - Cheese pizza - Sports Bars Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

Great pizza, great service, great beer. This is our go-to place after we go do some work on the boat during the week after work. The hot oil pizza is so good. I love a thin crust pizza and this is thin! It's always busy in this location, but we were seated right away. The service was quick. The one thing I don't like is it's toooo loud. Lately it has been filled with teens and you can't hear the conversation at your own table. It usually starts emptying out around 8:00 and then it's better. read more

I've been a fan of Colony since 2007 when a friend introduced me to their pizza with the hot chili oil at their Stamford location. Since then there are several locations that have popped up, but this one is my favorite as it is large and parking is easy to find. If you haven't tried colony, this will be a different experience for you. Their main attraction is their thin crust pizza and the one that you can order with the chili oil is the best. You can add several other topiings to it, but even at the most basic state, i.e cheese pizza alone, they are really good. The best part is that the price is extremely reasonable, even in these days where pizza's start at like $20+, these are still very affordable. The service here can be a bit slow as it is a very popular spot, both with families and corporate workers, and the bar side can get very loud. Still I have founsd the staff here to be very pleasant and accomodating even when the house is full. Non Fairfield county folks, this is a must try to get an experience of what Fairfield has to offer. read more

Love colony grill! They're probably my favorite pizza spot in the whole state! The staff is very friendly and the menu is straightforward! My favorite is their hot oil pepperoni!!! It's not too spicy but has a very flavorful heat to it! read more

Time for some new management. You're a pizza joint in downtown Fairfield...should be prepared for a busy Friday or Saturday night. No reason a party of 7 should have to wait 2+ hours while watching multiple parties of 4, 5 or 6 that came after us be seated. Hostess told us 45 mins when we arrived...then when we checked an hour in..told 45 mins again...then when we checked almost 2 hours in...told 45 mins again. Avoid at all costs if you have a show to catch around the corner. read more

The pizza at colony is superior to anything around us... favorites are anchovies (just try it- promise its amazing) the cherry pepper, and the hot oil with stingers! However, black olive was darn good too! It's busy- plan for a wait. It's worth it! Service is slow but good. Pizzas are thin so plan on ordering more than typical- we had 5 people and ordered 6 pizzas (and yes... we ate them all. We wanted to try so many combos , it just happened and we weren't sorry!

Heard about Colony Grill from the kids, who come here with their friends, and love it! Today we were in the neighborhood and decided to find out for ourselves what our kids love about it. Colony is not your typical pizza joint, but an Irish pizza sports bar imho. Which I didn't mind cause they had Euro 2020 on one of the TV's and my country The Netherlands were playing Ukraine. So I could try their pizza and watch soccer. The pizza menu is set up real simple. You got your pizza $9.99 and a list of toppings, each $1.75 and two specialty pizza's. The pizza's are thin crust, but not as thin as the St. Louis style pizza. And one pie is enough for one person, but you cold share 1 if you just want to snack. Again this is imho. The pizza is great, I love that you can fold it, and echt slice is a good size bite. I understand why my kids like it, and I might swing by again when The Netherlands play this Euro 2020. read more

Wanted to come on here and give a shoutout to the manager Lindsay. We ordered 2 pizzas to eat in the restaurant, and one to go. Unfortunately, we waited a little over an hour for the pizzas because our waitress accidentally put all 3 pizzas in take out. It was a busy night, however others were getting their pizzas much faster than us. The manager Lindsay comped our entire bill for the inconvenience. This is the kind of service I expect when something happens! Thank you Colony for having great customer service. read more

The pies here are always hot & fresh. The service is typically really good, but at times they get ridiculously busy. There can be really long waits for both a table, & the food coming out once were seated. Food is always on point though. My favorite things to get here are Pepperoni w/Hot oil & the salad pizza, w/cheese. Yum!! read more

I just love the crispy thin crust pizzas! Most places I'll go to the cheesy areas are so soggy or greasy but not colony! Delicious fresh from the oven. I got the hot oil, sausage and mushroom toppings and tried some of my friends salad pizza. Absolutely the best!! This review will probably side more with thin crispy crust pizza lovers though. Too each their own. read more
