Had a great lunch at Sally Apizza! The restaurant is clean, busy, and very spacious. We started with the oven-charred brussel sprouts which was topped with balsamic and parm. We also had a house salad with onions, tomatoes, raw mushrooms, olives, shaved parm, and a ton of vinaigrette. For our table of 6, we shared the tomato sauce pie, New Haven original clam, and the garden special. The garden special was my favorite bite that day because of the mushrooms, peppers, onions, and broccolini. The original clam pizza was also good, and I tried it after reading some Yelp reviews, but next time, I'll know to order the garden special and try another specialty flavor. My friend recommended trying their locally made soda, so I got a Foxon Park cream soda. There are a few other flavors. Overall, a very pleasant lunch experience with excellent service! read more

Came here with a large group of friends. We had reservations for 8:15 on a Friday night, but apparently there were two other large groups that had reservations before us and they still weren't finished so we had to wait for a while for one of the groups to finally leave. The staff did offer us free appetizers to make up for the wait, however, and they were delicious--meatballs with red sauce (with red pepper flakes, just in case spice isn't your thing) and whipped ricotta. I ordered the white clam pie and it was very good (and enough fresh chopped garlic to keep the vampires away all night-lol). Everything was good, but the service was super slow, so I'm giving three stars. read more

Incredible. As good as Sally's New Haven. Food was excellent. Portions huge. Service AAA+ Beautiful Resturant read more

Updated April 2026: after my initial bad first experience a manager at this location, Alyssa, reached out to me to address my issues. I gave their pizza another try and I'm pleased to say it was a lot better than the first time! I enjoyed the classic tomato sauce and mozzarella and the variety of toppings we tried were also good. I'm now convinced that something was just off for that first pizza we tried, so it's good to see that was just a fluke. read more

Overall, had a really good experience at this Sally's Apizza location, but still prefer the dingy old school pizzeria feel of the original in New Haven. We came on a random Saturday and although we didn't have a reservation, they were able to accommodate out party of 3 (+ baby). The restaurant was surprisingly packed on such an unassuming Saturday afternoon, but I guess the pizza is just that good. The ambiance is classier than the original -- kind of a clean brewery aesthetic, which was pleasant, but made me worried the food wouldn't be as good; I shouldn't have had any concern, as the pizza was JUST as good. We went with: -The italian wings -A small basil burrata pie -A pie whose name escapes me, but it had italian sausage, ricotta cheese, and onions -Slice of cannoli pie The food was the right amount for 3 adults, just for reference. The italian wings were fine, a hint of heat if you can't handle it, though I wouldn't write home about. The basil burrata pie was good -- the sauce had really good sweet tomatoes without being overpowering, but the uneven distribution of burrata meant that some slices were sadder than others. I really loved the italian sausage/ricotta pie, I'm still thinking about it -- it was definitely the heavier of the two, but felt heartier. The only concern, that some other Yelpers have already noted, is that sometimes they get a bit carried away with the char, so expect some burnt black marks. The cannoli pie was definitely an indulgent treat, but you only live once, right? read more

Truth be told, we first tried out the original New Haven branch. We lined up for about 45 mins to be told that it was going to be another hour or so once seated for pizzas to be served. We then decided to head to the Stamford branch given the restaurant was taking reservations. We arrived at the Stamford branch at 8:30pm. The restaurant was still relatively full. Ordered 1 large original, 1 clam pizza, 1 pepperoni and one garlic bread. The garlic bread came out first and it was really nice, crunchy and garlicky. The pizzas came out next, piping hot straight from the oven. All were delicious and enjoyable however I don't think it warranted the wait at the original place. The pizzas itself were nice, and have a different base texture. Service wise - it was pretty slow. It took awhile for our pizzas to be served. read more

Delicious pizza, good varieties, and good service. This is not NY style pizza, this more like Connecticut New Haven style. They've been a New Haven staple for many years. I was happy they came here to Stamford. read more

I've been wanting to try this Sally's location for some time. The service here is fast and friendly. We made a reservation before our movie and were seated right away. While the service was great our pizza was a little underwhelming. We ordered the Firebird specialty pizza which had chicken and peppers -- it was just okay. I did appreciate that our pie wasn't overly charred/burnt. However, we did enjoy our Caesar salad. read more

I grew up on Sally's on Wooster in New Haven, so I am judging Sally's Stamford location with extraordinarily high expectation. While NH is old school and bare bones, Stamford is a big modern space with a menu that is expanded to include many appetizers and non pizza items. Service was good and friendly. The apps were outstanding: light & flavorful meatballs, delicious grilled broccolini, and a wonderful chopped salad. Sadly no pix as we deleted the apps in record time. The pizza was very good, but sadly not at the same level as New Haven. The crust, while thin and with zero flop, does not have the same wonderful flavor...it is kind of bland. And the potato pie was a big disappointment. But the shrimp scampi pie was a real treat, with fresh sweet shrimp. And the other traditional pies were all very good. read more

Some of the best pizza I've had in Connecticut! New Haven style never fails. My girlfriend I stopped by for lunch to end off our trip in Stamford- we had a lovely/delicious time. The service was great and we got our food relatively fast as it wasn't too crowded on a Tuesday for lunch. We started off with a Caesar salad, which was one of the best I've ever had- chock loaded with dressing, Parmesan cheese, and pickled onions. I've never had Caesar salad with pickled onions before, but it was an absolute game changer. For our pizza, we ordered the Calabrian stinger special which came with spicy salami, hot honey, halloumi, pecorino, and peppers. It was absolutely amazing. Such an incredible contrast between sweet and spicy, and the New Haven thin crust was to die for. We absolutely devoured our lunch and left feeling super satisfied. We will absolutely be back when we visit! read more

We were told that while in the Stamford area, Sally's was a must do pizza place for true Connecticut style pizza. Joined some friends at the bar, and we ordered a couple of cocktails, a salad, some wings and a 12" pizza - each of which was great. I think perhaps Frank Pepe's might be better than Sally's? It's close. The dough was a little tough for me, but it had a nice char from the oven. The wings were the standout though. Crispy, that same char, with a sauce that tasted like Thai chili sauce mixed with chopped Calabrian chili's served with a little creamy ranch style sauce. Fantastic. I'd agree that if you are in Stamford, plan on making a stop here. read more

Giving this place 3 starts strictly because everything was spicy which wasn't expected. I had just arrived in town off the Amtrak train so I was starving! Service was great and the establishment is beautiful and has a great aesthetic. I ordered chicken Parmesan and a small cheese pizza. The sauce has a spice to it that I did not care for. Maybe this is their signature but I do think it'd would've been great to be aware of this, as I would have opted for something other than the red sauce. The hostess was friendly and the bathroom was nice and clean, which I truly appreciate. read more

Check out this spot if you're in Stamford especially if you never had Apizza. Not as good as the New Haven Apizza but downtown Stamford is much nicer than New Haven. Decor was more modern than expected. Server gave a great recommendation added bacon to the clam pie. Absolutely try the clam pie, extremely special. Granted every topping you can get is probably great. read more

I was supposed to have a team dinner here last week but it was canceled due to the blizzard. Fast forward to Thursday when I was still in town and on my own for food. My best friend told me I had to try New Haven pizza. I'd been eyeing their potato pizza (don't knock it till you try it) so I DoorDash'd it to my hotel. Unfortunately it was a fail. It took 40-50mins to prepare and a 7min drive. Unfortunately my pizza was delivered C O L D. I didn't have the energy to call, complain and wait for another delivery so thoughts go here. Also I couldn't understand the gummy chewy texture, when the potato slices were thin! It was a huge disappointment and I should have been more cautious given the ratings. read more

Connecticut staple. I definitely like this place more than Pepe's that's for sure. Their mocktails aren't bad, and the pizza is the only reason I keep coming back (obviously). Service is hit or miss - can be very slow or sometimes can be great. The vibes are definitely loud and fun- great for big groups. In the back there's more seating that's a little quieter, so that's a plus. I feel like this place is very very overrated and overpriced for no reason other than it being famous in CT, but their pizza is just good enough to still get it once in awhile! read more

** Management take note** I will preface this review with - My family and friends are regulars Pizza is great, but sometimes they get a little over zealous with the char. Whoever is making the meatballs lately is making them way too spicy for the average consumer and I like spice. Also, lower the volume on the music a bit, this establishment isn't a night club. read more

So grateful to be living in a state with great pizzas! We are the pizza capital after all. Sally's Apizza is a known local spot known for its classic New Haven-style thin-crust pizza. We ordered the Calabrian stinger, which had a perfectly crispy yet chewy crust, no flop, flavorful tomato sauce, and it was spicy, yet addictive. The atmosphere makes it a great place for a casual pizza night with friendly service. I'm looking forward to going back. It's the top 3 for me next to Modern Pizza and Colony. read more

The pizza is delicious. I highly recommend the potato and rosemary pie, it's a unique flavor. Their marg pizza was also delicious. The downfall is the service. We sat at the bar, the bartender didn't even bother to wiped the counter from the previous customers. Their crumbs and spilled drinks remained. We asked for water twice, she never gave it to us. Summary, pizza great, team subpar. read more

Crummy pizza! What a disappointment!! I paid a ridiculous price for one small pizza! Light on the cheese. Should have been better! I had it once before at the restaurant which was much better! read more

I visited this location of Sally's Apizza when I was in the area a few weekends ago. We stopped at Sally's for lunch before getting on the train in Stamford - it was our last meal on our Connecticut trip. The restaurant is large and modern; we were very comfortable. The service was also great - their menu is huge, and our server was very patient with us and helpful. We were visiting on a Monday, so we were able to take advantage of their lunch special offerings. (On Monday-Friday, between 11:30-4:00, they offer several specials!) Together, we shared: a Caesar salad (romaine, pickled onions, grilled croutons, Grana Padano, Parmesan, and dressing); a New Haven Original Clam apizza (mozzarella, fresh clams, fresh garlic, and Parmesan); a mozzarella & tomato sauce pie - with added onions; and a mozzarella & tomato sauce pie - with added meatballs and whipped ricotta. I thought everything was good and had good value (the Caesar salad, for example, was huge - great for sharing with a group). My favorite was easily the clam pie - they brought plenty of lemon on the side, which made it perfect. Overall, it was a really nice way to end our trip to Connecticut - with one more serving of New Haven pizza. It hit the spot. read more

First of all as far as ambiance goes,it was crowded and we had a long wait to get a table. It was my first time there so I was thinking the pizza would be good. But the crust was all burnt black and the toppings were skimpy. I recommend frank Pepe's in Stamford on high ridge rd. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening after going to the movies across the street and there was about a 50 minute wait. We sat upstairs where it was a little bit quieter and staff was very friendly and attentive. We ordered pizza, and the crust was thin and crunchy. Fresh ingredients and mocktails also available. The wings were spicy and fresh. Definitely worth the wait! read more

When you go into a place with high expectations, many times you leave disappointed. That wasn't the case with Sally's. They lived up to every bit of the hype. We were a party of 8 and got to try multiple items. We ordered mozzarella sticks and garlic bread as appetizers. The mozzarella sticks were the best we had ever had. The garlic bread was also really good. My wife and I shared a wedge salad and it was great. It was a step above a typical wedge salad. One person ordered pasta with vodka sauce and added a chicken cutlet. That was the only item that was just okay. Last but certainly not least, we have to discuss the star of the show. The reason you go to Sally's. The pizza was amazing! The char gives it a unique flavor and we all really liked it. Our pizzas were light, crisp, and full of flavor. I also want to give a shout out to our server Dominique. She was amazing! We had a great experience and will go back. read more

Let me start by saying I couldn't have been more shocked to see an overall 3 star rating. When I say this was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had in my entire life I am 100% serious. From Nina, the incredible manager who treated us like family to Abraham the best and most humble server this side of the Mississippi, we were off to an incredible start...and then the food arrived. It should go without saying that Sally's is an institution - an-east coast household name and for good reason. Don't be naive to think that Sally's is a one stop shop though. Super creative and delicious cocktails, fantastic apps including fried dough and prosciutto, some of the best meatballs I've ever had, a 10/10 Caesar salad--and of course the type of pizza I imagine they serve at heaven's gate. Thin and crispy to perfection and an array of brilliant specialty pies including the famous clam that I would not miss even on a sick day. No part of me was expecting to write this review -but when I'm blown away by ambiance, service, hospitality and of course taste--it would be a disservice to let these words remain unspoken. Do me a favor, give this Sally's location a shot and I can assure you --you will not leave hungry or dissatisfied. 5 stars , no notes. Thank you Sally's Apizza for your almost 90 years of service read more

food was great but there was a birthday party and for the duration. we were treated to 2 to 4 children probably between 3 and 5 standing on the upper level screaming/shrieking down at the rest of the diners. this was not kids enjoying a birthday party but extremely rude behavior with no parental or staff intervention. when we left I mentioned it to the hostess who just said it is a birthday party. she did not get how disturbing it was. and just shrugged her shoulders. read more

I came here late at night, and I've been wanting to try Sally's the few times I was in New Haven--but the line was always down the block. So, when they opened a location in downtown Stamford, so close to me, I couldn't resist. I spoke with the girl at the front, and she was super nice and personable. She said it would be about a 35-minute wait, so I decided to hit the bar and have a drink. The inside was very nice and pretty spacious. I was greeted quickly at the bar and decided to go with an espresso martini--because, well, they're for winners, right? I've definitely had better ones before, and this one didn't quite hit the mark, unfortunately. But my bartender, whose name I forget, was awesome--super chill and laid back. It was his last day, and he was actually from NYC (Queens, I believe). Always love running into fellow New Yorkers outside of NY--it's just one of those things that instantly makes for great conversation. I took my pizza to go, and it was good. I wasn't completely blown away, and if I had to wait outside or endure a super long line, I don't think it would've been worth it. But for what it was, the pizza was solid. I got the Spicy Red pizza, I believe. I'd definitely have it again, especially late at night after a few drinks--it could really hit the spot. read more

Third time trying this place and it seems like it really just keeps going downhill. The waitstaff seems to actually go out of their way to ignore their tables. It's crazy how we can receive cooked appetizers before even getting our drinks from the bar: 2 beers, no cocktails or anything intricate. The food is on the decline as well. The house salad now has raw mushrooms in it which is a pretty interesting choice. The appetizers all are so greasy and just fried frozen food. The pizza used to actually be pretty good but it seems like the sauce is so acidic and flavorless. A large pizza used to hang off the side of the tray but now it barely even anything. read more

I've given Sally's Stamford location two shots - once when they opened and a more recent visit - and truthfully found the pizza to be underwhelming, particularly given the turnaround/wait times. The hype of Sally's means this place is always busy. Definitely recommend a reservation; otherwise, who knows how long you'll be waiting. The ambiance is nice though. Decent bar area and plenty of booths, tables, and high tops. Now the food - foremost, both times I've went, they tell to expect to wait 30 minutes for a pizza but they should really be saying expect to wait ~at least~ 30 minutes for a pizza. Both visits I probably waited 45 minutes for pizza to hit the table. So def order apps to tide you over to pizza, otherwise you'll be like the table next to us where they wanted to leave and just cancel their order because it was taking too long and the servers just kept saying "I can see your pizzas, they're coming out right now" - and man were they begrudgingly eating that pizza when it came. Of the pies I've tried: - Tomato & Mozzarella: Sauce heavy, cheese light. Found it underwhelming, didn't have much flavor. Took a few shakes of the oregano, parm, crushed red pep, etc. on the table. - Custom, add Meatballs & Onions: Adding on the meats really enhanced the flavor of pie. Much better than just a plain. - Firebird Pizza (Mozzarella, Sally's tomato sauce, oven roasted chicken, diced sweet and hot peppers, onion): The best one of all the pizzas I tried I clearly enjoy Sally's better with toppings - some may say even loaded since the Firebird was my favorite - so that's really what drives my consensus that the pizza itself when plain is underwhelming on its own. Not to mention the latter 2 pies I ordered on my second visit, BOTH of them came out a bit burnt on the edges. And you may be telling me 'noooooo ~ that's The CHAR' but honey, the 2 guys I was eating with LOVE a char on their food and even they admitted it was more burnt than char. Other food - caesar salad, fried mozzarella, and the desserts I actually enjoy more than the pizza experience so I'd prob recommend Sally's for a great apps and drinks location. But ultimately, long wait, inconsistent and underseasoned pies - is why I'm ultimately not on the Sally's train. Maybe having the chance to try it in New Haven could change my mind but it's unlikely I'll voluntarily hit up Sally's in Stamford again. read more

I can't believe it took me so long to try this 'ahbeetz'. I think I'd been sucked in that it's Frank Pepe's or bust and also for some reason I can't figure out, the Yelp reviews are poor. Well, we went for my birthday and EVERYONE absolutely loved it, my picky wife, my parents, and my infant. The sauce is the star of the show, so good thing it's delicious. And the char is just right.... The pie shown is bacon and meatball. Underneath was an eggplant pie (special) and they were equally great. Sure it's a pain to park (there's a lot at the end of the block for a buck an hour, though) and even then, that's just downtown Stamford. We will definitely be back. TIP: the 16" is a huge pie and what's pictured. I can't even imagine how big the 'large' is and thankfully the server warned us when we almost got one. Living my whole life in NY, it took me a while to come around to New Haven style pizza when we moved to CT (hey, real NY pizza IS amazing), but there's room for both in my belly ;) read more

So this was our second time at Sally's Apizza but our first time at this new Stamford location. We had a reservation thankfully this is a busy place. Kyle was our waiter and such a nice guy. We ordered calamari and their famous wings for an appetizer, not as good as the New Haven location but they were delicious, just didn't fall off the bone like before. Now for the coal fired pizza... the Basil Burrata was amazing, the sauce is perfection and the cheese and oil was perfectly placed. The cheese and sausage were good as well. Great Ambiance you can view the oven anytime and the pizza is some of the best around. I'll be back next time I'm in town. Thank you Sally's read more

picked up the famous apizza and it was delicious! although I am not a big fan of char, the texture alone is an addicting quality. the chewiness of the pizza is almost like that of a sourdough, and I am sold that is clearly better than the average New York slice that's typically sweeter. john's still comes close. read more
