If you want authentic New Haven-style apizza in Stamford, Sally's delivers. I ordered my favorite: a white clam pizza with bacon on half. The clams were fresh, the crust had that signature char and chew, and I didn't miss the tomato sauce for a second. Judging from nearby tables, though, the red pies are every bit as popular. We grabbed seats at the bar, and that turned out to be part of the fun. The bartender was fantastic and even shared the secret to a perfect Whiskey Sour: dry shake the whiskey, lemon juice, and egg white first to build that silky foam, then add ice and shake again. She also noted that aquafaba--the liquid from canned chickpeas--can create a similar effect for vegan or egg-free drinkers. The cocktail arrived beautifully presented with a real Luxardo cherry and was as good as any craft cocktail I've had - which is sayin' something LOL! The place was packed, the music was great, the energy was infectious, and it was obvious the locals genuinely love Sally's. That's always a good sign, and this place more than lived up to the hype. read more

Great dinner outside on the patio around 7pm, and only had to wait 5-10 minutes to seat a small group of 4. The pizza portions and quality are excellent, but we would probably try a few different appetizers on the next visit. Favorite pie was the Calabrian Stinger, since it had a great spice kick! We had the brussel sprouts (would not order again, as they weren't as crispy as hoped) and garlic bread. Next time, will plan to try out the calamari and broccolini. 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

This was my first time trying New Haven style pizza and I really liked it! We got their famous white clam pizza with bacon as well as their Stinger hot honey pizza. Both came on a slightly charred thin crust--my favorite. While odd at first, the clam pizza was very yummy with lots of clam and a garlic forward taste. The stinger pizza was sweet and savory with it's hot honey glaze. This spot could rival some famous NY spots for me. read more

Sally's means so much to me I'm not a pizza person at all but we've been here more times than I'd like to admit. It slaps every time. They never miss. Service is exceptional and they are all really personable. It feels like a family. We love being a part of it! The restaurant itself is nice love the interior and lighting. Even the bar is very nice to sit read more

The ambiance is a fun spin on a classic pizzeria vibe. The service was good, but a bit slow. The pizza and rice balls were good. The calamari was a bit fishy. Also it was almost 80 degrees and the AC was turned off with all the windows open. It was so hot, we couldn't bear to stay to enjoy dessert. read more

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

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

Went in on a Saturday night at 8 and it didn't seem that packed but maybe they were understaffed. Our server was so sweet and I wish I got his name because I could tell he was doing his very best given the circumstances. It took awhile to get our order and that's no blame to the gentleman serving us. He said that pizzas were very delayed and gave us free drinks as a compensation. It did ultimately take an hour to get pizza. Maybe they had a lot of Togo orders because there were several empty tables in the restaurant. We got the shrimp scampi pizza and it was amazing. I also got the limoncello gin drink on the menu and it was delicious. We went back the next day as soon as they opened and it still took about 40 minutes to get our food. And that's when I realized that it doesn't matter what time of day, how many people are ordering or working, this place takes it time to make pizzas. We got a mozzarella and red sauce pizza which was also good. (Not as good as that shrimp scampi). The manager was sweet and so was the bartender. TLDR: Great staff and service. But my only warning is that don't come here expecting fast service. Expect 30+ mins for za 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

I've been here twice in the past two weeks because the food is excellent and the service is consistently friendly. I'd happily keep coming back... except for one major issue. The restrooms smell like a street corner outside a busy bar at 2:00 a.m. Both visits. Both bathrooms. I honestly found myself wondering if anyone is cleaning them. A clean restroom says a lot about how a restaurant is maintained, and this is one area that desperately needs attention. It's a shame because the kitchen and staff deserve much higher marks, but the bathroom situation loses major points. Please give them the same care you're giving the food! read more

Service was worse than the pizza. The pizza eh. Fell off so badly. I loved this place last I visited. So sad. Off the list of places to eat. Management exists but is really non existent...such a shame. And we spent $95 on 2 large pies and 1 HH beer and 1 weird af drink on their signature cocktail list and it took the bartender about 10 mins to make...unacceptable. No manager or even our server asked if we were good or needed anything else...the entire place was empty and still had all these people working, for what??? Even our food runner (who brought the pizza) was a mute! Sooooo weird!!!! Never again!! read more

Sally’s Apizza - The front of the disaster! - Pizza Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

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

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

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

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

So delicious! We arrived a little after 6PM and the place was pretty busy. We did not wait more than 5 minutes. The service was friendly and prompt. We really enjoyed our appetizers and pizzas, I want to go back and try the specialty pizzas. Great for family, groups or date. Well worth the drive from Hicksville. read more

I got there ten min before I was told it'd be ready. It was ready ...and cold. I ordered a large. When I got home and opened it, the "large" was about 13 inches across and was smaller than the box all around by several inches. The cheese was cold and over burnt. This is the worst pizza I've ever had. Compared to Modern, Pepe's-- even the Pepe's in Stamford--this pizza was just so bad! Hard. Chewy in all the wrong ways. Dry. Tasteless. And quite unsatisfying! It was inedible. Last time I tried to order take out from here, the oven was apparently broken and instead of telling ppl about this, they kept taking orders and just had people wait and wait "another 20 min" " another 20 min" etc. I tried to be patient and had already sunk in the time waiting-- it was over 2 and half hours before I was informed about the oven not working. I was so, so upset--they should have been upfront about something like that. I didn't complain then though bc I was again trying to be patient--Everyone has bad days. Today, I finally decided to try them again and again I was utterly and completely disappointed. I can't keep silent anymore. It was just THAT bad. Never coming back here again. I advise others to be aware -- there are far better places for pie elsewhere in Stamford. Save your time, your money and your tastebuds. This place just isn't it. read more

The pizza is so, so good. Love the meatballs and salads. Good cocktails. Cute and cozy space. But more importantly, the management and staff is so beyond kind. We had lunch there today, it was a very rough day for us, and they went above and beyond. I will never forget it and will be back often. read more

Sally’s Apizza - Pizza with pepperoni and basil - Pizza Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

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

Pizza is ok, nothing special. The service was fine. The ambiance was ok. The restaurant is quite loud because it had no soft materials to dampen sound, but that's ok. Honestly, I don't see any reason to go back because there are so many better pizza options around. The only reason I would go here is if I was in the area with a large group and driving was not an easy option. read more

The pizza was good but the service was terrible. We have tried this location twice. Different servers each time. We waited forever just for water. The restaurant wasn't at its max capacity either. Had one server say, "sorry I didn't see you there". We were sitting in an elevated booth in the center of the restaurant. Disappointed because we heard they have excellent pizza. Will be finding a different pizza location. 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

Sally’s Apizza - Pizza Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

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

** 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

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

The pizza is overrated. The sauce is as bland as hell and not enough cheese. This location is a 6.8.

We arrived at 1:30, ordered a large cheese pizza. Its now 2:25 and the waitress said they are backed up and it will take another 10-15mins. The restaurant is maybe 20% full. Here with hungry kids and no sympathy. First time having new haven pizza, visiting from out of state. Would not recommend even if the pizza ever arrives. read more

Just grabbed some pizza from here on our way home back to NY. I'd love to come actually eat here because the location seemed gorgeous. Pizza was done pretty quickly. It was okay, a little burnt. I'd try them again. 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

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

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

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.
