I've had Jam City in my bookmarks and finally reached the establishment. The establishment is located in a bar called The Cellar on Treadwell, and you have to walk down a cellar to get to Jam City Pizza. When I arrived, I was a little confused about how to find it because other businesses surrounded it in a commercial parking lot. Jam City serves Detroit-style pizza, salads, chicken wings, and desserts. I ordered the Tim Timebomb, which consists of pesto and their sauce called the Sunday sauce. The pizza had a crunch that was so crispy that it reminded me of the cheese that melts from the Grilled Cheese, and you get that crispy Cheese. The crust was delicious. The Pesto Sauce was coming through on the pizza. The Pesto sauce was flavorful, herbaceous, garlicky, and nutty, with a salty and rich undertone. The Sunday Service Sauce had such great flavor, creating a complex and satisfying taste. The pizza was delicious, and I'm glad we have a Detroit-style pizza in Connecticut. The customer service was excellent, and the staff were outgoing and friendly.
I'm leaving a review on Jam City Pizza's Hamden Brick & Mortar page, but I actually visited on Day 1 of their season-long residency at GastroPark Food Truck Park in West Hartford. Thursday through Sundays, but confirm the schedule before you go. Technically, Jam City's space at GastroPark is a tent rather than a truck. They have a wood burning stove in the tent area, and they're making Detroit Style Pizzas in the oven. If you don't know, that's a rectangular thicker pizza cooked in a pan, and it has a crispy cheese side. They also have a salad and cannoli's at GastroPark. If it's the same cannoli they serve in other parts of their business, it's amazing by the way. This was my first time enjoying Jam City, although Chef Tyler Demora also owns the Feelin Saucy Pasta Truck, which I love. Chef Tyler is a classically trained chef, but he's decided to take his talents to the food trucks and the Hamden brick and mortar, and that is definitely our gain. The GastroPark menu is an abbreviated version of the Hamden menu. So they did not have the Parliament Funghidelic I was hoping to order. I went with the Tim Timebomb, which is their version of a Margherita. They use the same delicious Sunday Sauce they use on the Feelin Saucy Truck. They spread it in two long rows the length of the pizza. I really like this, because the sauce isn't spread too thin and you can really taste it. They also zig zag pesto diagonally from corner to corner. Then they rain a storm of Romano over the top. The crust was perfect for Detroit. The sauces were awesome. The Romano was very good. The melting cheese used on the pizza has a different vibe. It seems like it may be a proprietary blend of cheeses. It's sharper than I'm used to for pizza. That's not good or bad, but I need another time or two to get used to it. Service was great. I love the GastroPark atmosphere. I can't wait to try more pizzas. 4.5 Stars
This place is pretty cool and the pizza is really very good. I tried the Stratocaster and the Mcmars. The Stratocaster was a nice amount of heat from the little pepperoni cups holding their own oil and the sweetness of the hot honey was spot on. Now the Mcmars was excellent, it was better than a cheeseburger. The thinly shaved red onions and lettuce with the confit tomatoes that give a sweetness to the to the pickles and the sauce. If you like cheeseburgers then this is next level and should be tried.
Still loving Jam City! The crispy edges always get me. But these wingssss! They were fall off the bone, packed with flavor, juicy and unique! Service is always great!
I went on a food adventure with my bf and let's say it did not disappoint. After seeing @Jimmyofficial Instagram post today within hours we appeared at Jam city pizza. I heard that the bartender was amazing and she was. Sophie is effortlessly funny. I loved seeing her engage with customers as she went to and from the kitchen. She definitely has a way of making you smile. She's very personable. We had the Calabria chicken with hot honey wings. They were so flavorful. Cooked to perfection They weren't overly huge. They were small and melt in your mouth delicious. The sauce drizzled on top tasted as if it was honey mustard which complimented the wings SO well!. We chose to order the Tim Timebomb as a classic and the Secks supreme. We loved the classic over the secks. The basil puree is amazing! We had left overs that warmed up perfectly in the toaster oven. We didn't have enough room for dessert but we will be back to try the desserts. Thank you Jam city! The restaurant gives speakeasy vibes but they have two different entrances. One for when they have night entertainment (the ramp) and the stairs is the main entrance you should enter through.
Wow... all I say is never ever judge a book by its cover! Talk about a place that it's un presuming! Finding this jam city Pizza was a little bit of a chore, as their sign is really small affixed on the building but the building is easy to find being that stand smack center of this strip mall. You walked down a flight of stairs, so not really friendly to people with physical disabilities, so do bring some friends who can order your food and bring it to you because of this place is that much worth it! First off you see the place and you can tell that it's a big entertainment spot at night time. We came mid Saturday day and we were one of four different people to be waited on. Traffic is pretty consistent in this place so that's at the tone and excitement for us. We ordered one basic pizza, and we tried their wings. The gentleman behind the counter was an absolute dial, very accommodating, very patient, and really enjoys what he does and likes to share that passion with everyone... We love seeing that. Now let's get onto the business, the Pizza. First and foremost, the crust is decadent-nice crispy buttery crust that is so full of flavor, but yet light. The toppings are generous, but seem to hold well altogether. The drizzled pesto a fantastic edition to this pizza style. The wings were not wet like we like, typically, but they were so flavorful and yet so moist, we would order the same wings over again. So look forward to coming back and trying other eye catchers from this menu. Give this place a chance trust me you will be happy... Can't wait to go back.
It's a bold idea to make Detroit style pizzas in the pizza capital of the country. New Haven is the benchmark for pizza perfection. In a city that has summited the peak of pizza mountain, a new beast has been born. One that honers the heritage of Italian pizza while being the antithesis of Americana. Jam City Pizza is the name of this monster. The crispy Detroit style crust, and the masterful combination of flavors concocted by chef Tyler Demora make this pizzeria a must try. Head down to the cellar on treadwell and enjoy some music or have a laugh with friends. The leftovers I had did not survive the night.

This is what hidden gems are made of @jamcitypizza is the first to do an all Detroit pizza spot in CT This spot is a 10/10 For those of us that spent formative years reading for Pizza Hut coupons...you KNOW a pan pizza calls to me. And this is NEXT LEVEL Don't be deterred by the parking lot. The former spot, The Space (Space Ballroom still in the lot), has become @thecellarontreadwell bar ans music venue with this beautiful pizza jammin' right along with them. This pizza is BOMB. Every menu item we got was impressive. The pepperoni and buffalo chicken were standouts with their loaded toppings and tons of flavor. If you're not wandering to Hamden, they have their pop-up tent located at @thegastropark in West Hartford. We were lucky enough to be there for a collaboration with the one and only @thepakitaco If you haven't had Paki Taco, it should be on your list immediately. The butter chicken pizza Collab was amazing and on a regular day their butter chicken gordita crunch will not disappoint. You didn't think you like a thick pizza this is your chance to explore some new territory. Do not sleep on Jam City! read more

Jam City Pizza is a Detroit-style pizzeria that opened at The Cellar on Treadwell in Hamden, Connecticut in November 2024. It was founded by friends and business partners chef Tyler Demora and James Woodward. Demora has a culinary career with more than 20 years in the restaurant industry. He has worked in kitchens everywhere from as far away as San Francisco or France, or as close as Providence or New Haven. He also runs the Feelin' Saucy food truck which specializes in pasta dishes. Demora built his own pizza oven which he intended to use for a mobile Neapolitan-style pizza venture, but he simply couldn't get the oven hot enough. He then began to experiment with steel pan pizzas and crafted what he felt were Detroit-style squares with a thinner New Haven-style crust. He partnered with his childhood friend and former bandmate Woodward to start "Jam City" as a pop-up pizzeria. After some successful pop-ups outside The Cellar on Treadwell (a small performance venue), Jam City took over their kitchen on a permanent basis. In addition to the signature Detroit-style pies (which have musical-themed names), the menu also consists of salads, wings, chicken tenders, fries, garlic pretzel knots, and sweet fried dough balls. I recently sampled some of Jam City's delicious food. I had been hearing about their delectable Detroit-style pies for some time. On the evening I visited, The Cellar was hosting a 21+ musical performance. Since I had both of my young sons with me, I decided to order food to go. The pies that we tried were "The Timebomb" (Margherita w/ basil puree), the "Stratocaster" (Enzo's pepperoni, Calabrian chili hot honey), and the "Drum Solo" (carmies, spinach, crispy prosciutto, pesto). This pizza was ! I'm partial to New Haven-style apizza myself, but I've become more fond of Detroit-style pies in recent years and Jam City crafts an excellent take on the style. All of the ingredients tasted so fresh and delicious! We also tried their delicious "Garlic Knot Pretzel Bites" (honey mustard & Sunday sauce). I'll definitely be ordering from Jam City again. I hope to enjoy some fresh pies while watching a live show at The Cellar soon! read more
