Came in for a quick bite and was honestly surprised by how amazing everything was. We ordered the lunch tray, which comes with half salad and half pizza, such a great combo. We both got Andy's House Salad, and it was phenomenal. The veggies were fresh, and the dressing really brought everything together. I also tried their famous elote pizza, and it was exceptional. If you come to Sparrow, you have to order this, it's a standout! Server was so nice and inside the restaurant is cool! read more

Great Happy Hour Value with Crispy Pizza and Strong Cocktails Stopped by Sparrow Pizza for Happy Hour on a weeknight with a few co-workers and was impressed by the value. The $7 cocktails were well made, and the sliders and 6-inch personal pizzas were all enjoyable. The pizza had a nicely crisp crust, while the roasted cauliflower was a standout--still juicy, not overcooked, and finished with a drizzle of sriracha. A solid spot for an affordable after-work meal and drinks. Would recommend. read more

I love it here!!! No, I don't think you understand how much I actually mean that! Like a fool, I waited a couple of years before checking them out but after the first experience I wanted to go back constantly! Whether it's for dinner or happy hour, I am a huge fan of this spot and their perfectly thin crust pies, so this is right up my alley! The toppings and topping combinations are unique and fresh and delicious and I really just can't say enough good things about it. OMG, and if you can possibly save room, I highly recommend the ice cream sandwiches for dessert! Big enough to share, but I didn't. I was greedy and loved every bite. overall service is good and staff are knowledgeable, although it is a popular spot so if they're super busy, you might wait a little bit longer than you want to. There's always music on and it seems trendy where people like to hang out at night also, for the music and the vibe. read more

This is my third time coming to sparrow pizza bar . And second time for happy hour ! Located right in west Hartford center makes it the perfect spot to grab a drink and a quick bite after work . Happy hours 3:30-6 M-F To start I got the red sangria ($7 during HH) which was okay however it had a hint of ginger which I personally did not like . So then I tried the white sangria and that was very good . For happy hour they offer an option of different sliders ( 1 for $6 for HH) I tried the chicken slider which was amazing highly recommend my friends loved the caprese and the regular beef sliders all were amazing can't go wrong . I personally don't recommend the HH pizza it's just too small I recommend just getting the regular size honestly . The chips for happy hour are great for sharing they give you plenty for just $3 ! Overall great time , good service ( though it did take a little while to get our food ) , great atmosphere ( and on weekend they do have a Dj at night which is fun ) read more

This place is a hidden gem. Everything on the menu is delicious like literally no matter what you order, it comes out tasting amazing. The food is consistently well-prepared, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. The whole experience is top tier from start to finish, and it's one of those restaurants where you don't even have to think twice about what to get because you know it's going to be good either way. Whoever is around definitely needs to check this place out and they definitely won't regret it. read more

I went back for Happy Hour with the girls! So well worth it! Happy Hour goes from 3-6pm. I was missing their delicious GF pizza! This time I added my own toppings. Their beet salad is delicious! So sweet! I had friends who aren't fans of beets who tried and loved it! The portion was enough to share if you got other apps or pizzas! Some of my friends ordered sliders, pizza, and salads which they were content with. Service is always fantastic and it's just a chill vibe during happy hour! When we went it was right after a huge snowstorm so it wasnt as busy as it normally is. If you haven't tried their pizza, happy hour eats or a night out at Sparrows.. give it a try! read more

First time visiting Sparrow Pizza Bar and my reaction was mixed. The interior was nice, very modern and sleek and it was very clean. We went for lunch on a Saturday and it was pretty quiet. Our server Ethan was very nice and honestly the highlight of our visit! The pizza was good, the crust was different, thin and kind of crackery and I got the small 6 inch with a half panzanella salad. Pizza was a little greasy, I did have bacon on it but it was still a little too greasy for me and the salad was good but not a panzanella. Yes the menu specified it was croutons not torn bread which is the traditional way it's made. But it would be better with actual bread. My boyfriend had the Cesar salad which was ok but a bit overdressed. Overall not a bad experience but not sure I'll be back. read more

Stopped into Sparrow Pizza for happy hour on a beautiful day, the entire front wall was open to the outside, felt like the official kickoff to spring! Kyle was the best, super helpful splitting our check and made a killer drink. The chips are insanely crispy and perfectly seasoned, definitely enough to share and a must get. Truffle mushroom slider was so good, the aioli hit the spot, and the chicken slider was perfect for a hot day. Would recommend and will for sure be back. read more

I went here for happy hour with my girlfriends. Their sliders for happy hour are delish! Only $6 a slider, you can get multiple to mix and match flavors. But just one is enough to fill you up! I got two caprese sliders as this was the vegetarian option and they were so yummy. They offer discounted drinks but mocktails were full price for happy hour. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were so nice, attentive and even split our complicated bill with grace. However, the happy hour pizzas and thin and small so I would get the sliders if I were you! Also when the weather is nice they open their window wall to let in fresh air. Dogs are allowed! read more

Me and my family came for brunch on a Sunday afternoon before heading home. It was pretty quiet and took a second to be sat but the staff were really friendly. They found out it was our first time in the restaurant and gave us a complimentary order of Arancini to welcome us. The Arancini were made with risotto that has peas in it so it was a different take for me. I'm not a fan of peas but they're easy enough to pick out and the overall flavor of the cheese, rice and outside fried to inside gooey texture was really good! We also split an order of shrimp scampi that I don't see on the menu online but it was there when we were there around the second weekend of July. The shrimp were a large size, really fresh, cleaned well, and had great flavors with butter, garlic and a little bite maybe for some with the red pepper flakes but for me it was a perfect bite. The meatballs were huge!! I was surprised when they dropped them off at the table, they were still really tender cutting into them and the vodka sauce was a different but nice touch. I thought it was cute that the cheese sticks were literally on a stick and great for sharing. Super stringy mozzarella for a great cheese pull as well. They made my inner child happy! Lastly, we split the Shy-Roni pizza which was fabulous with the hot honey drizzle! Super thin crust, great pepperoni and overall great bite. When we come to visit family in town, we'll definitely be back! read more

This weeks food adventure takes place at a great spot called Sparrow's in West Hartford. We had a party of 6 with kids. We sat on the patio and it was awesome. WeHa itself is a hopping metropolis! The menu is perfect and our waiter Dave S. Did a great job. The food is just awesome. So flavorful and the portions were perfectly sized. I don't have one bad thing to say about our experience here tonight. I'll let ya judge by the photos! Enjoy, we sure did! Sparrow gets the highly coveted MMMMSK™.

Sparrow is always a 10/10. Lighting and music makes the ambience enjoyable. Perfect for a day night, girls night or going out with the family. we had a variety of apps and each person in our party tried a different pizza. Everything was incredible! I eat here every couple months and the one thing I'll say is that the service varies depending in your server. Some are amazing and super attentive, others you have to flag down to get them for drinks and the check. I typically don't mind because I'm using the time to chat and catch up with friends and family. read more

I went with my family who came out of the country to try this place and wow what a treat!! The appetizers and pizzas were absolutely phenomenal, and the ambience very clearly spoke as a place to sit down and catch up with someone or for date night! My one issue was unfortunately the service because at times our server passed us multiple times without taking our order and it just felt like we might have been forgotten even though the place was not that full. Overall however I would definitely come back next time I'm out with friends! read more

So far we have dined at Sparrow and ordered take out from here so many times. We have also brought our out-of-town friends here for the food and vibe. The staff is amazing. The atmosphere at Sparrow is very vibrant on weekends. We've tried all of their mocktails, and * Pizzas: The Elote, The Raj (without chicken), The Mayor (half pepperoni ), Butternut Bray * Bruschetta: Ricotta and Squash Their fries and mozzarella sticks are very worth it. The Elote is my personal favourite bar pie pizza from Sparrow. read more

Pizza was amazing! So glad the pesto is nut-free. Carter was a great waiter, service was excellent. Can't wait to come back

Finally tried Sparrow. It was so good. It's not like your traditional pizza with a thick crust or even a thin crust or a New York-style crust. It was thinner than thin, almost like corrugated cardboard with toppings. The waitress described a "cheese crown" on the crust, and, who doesn't want a crown made of cheese? The crust makes this pizza unforgettable. People who do not eat the crust are missing out big time at this spot! Food: I felt like I had to try the Beat Bobby Flay because that is why this restaurant has notoriety. It did not disappoint. "The Sauce" had this zesty, citrusy taste, that really elevated the flavor to the next level. 10/10. Coming in second is this phenomenal pepperoni pizza, the Shy-Roni. You can always judge a pizza joint by their pepperoni. It was a little greasy (like it should be) but that just means they were generous with the pepperoni, so I'm not complaining. Really a great pie. 9/10. Something to know is that the happy hour menu has smaller size pizzas, so it's a great way sample the menu. I can't wait to try the Shrimp & Ritz next. The fries were also good, and reminiscent of a Portuguese fry in that it is round and not a stick like a French fry. The ranch was homemade and was fresh, a little dilly, and absolutely delicious with the Cajun seasoned fries. Drinks: The happy hour menu had a nice drink selection, but nothing pairs better with pizza than beer. I tried a cream ale and I really loved it. I also loved the $3 price tag. The happy hour prices are great! Looking forward to a cocktail next time. Ambiance: The patio in the Center is perfect on a sunny day. Sparrow's interior has beautiful art and decor hanging on dark walls so the bright color pops. It is all a cool vibe. There is no bad seat at Sparrow. Service: I couldn't have asked for a better server. The service was just as good as the food. Our server was quick, attentive, and genuinely kind. She made sure everything was perfect without being intrusive, and I really appreciated that. Good service can make or break an experience, and she definitely made ours better. I am already looking forward to my next slice, or two! Sparrow is officially my new choice for dine-in pizza in West Hartford. If you're craving great pizza, good service, and a cool atmosphere, look no further. read more

Ordered the Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, vegan cheese, and a cheese pizza that was supposed to be to go. Brussel sprouts were great. Despite the restaurant being empty, it took forever to get our food. Server forgot to order the cheese pizza to go. It would have taken 15 minutes which seems really long for thin crust pizza. read more

My favorite spot in west Hartford!! My first time here was for a night out, and I had a great time! It's super fun when the dance floor opens up and there's a dj, I love how big the bar is so it doesn't take forever to get a drink. I finally came back for happy hour and had a great time!! Their happy hour menu has a great selection and the prices are fab. Great vibes and the service was excellent. Our waitress even came back to ask if we wanted to put in another drink order a few minutes before happy hour ended. Their mini pizzas are so cute! I got the butternut bray but also tried the elote. My aperol spritz was made perfectly and the arugula salad was delicious and so fresh. And I can't forget the parm fries!! Can't wait to return to this spot. read more

I've eaten here once with friends and it was like eating with a loud crowd in an echoing cavern. Casual conversation was near impossible because I couldn't hear what anyone was saying. It became deafening when a huge mob arrived for a pub crawl. Still, the waitress was friendly and service was good even though it was really busy. As for food, their super thin crust personal-sized pizzas are delicious! It really is perfect bar food: salty, crunchy, and goes well with a cold bubbly beer (or soda if you don't drink). Since super loud restaurant/bar isn't my sort of scene, I takeout their pizza now. Their takeout cardboard pizza boxes are a bit flimsy, but they are sealed very well. read more

Finally made it to Sparrow and I'm a big fan. We ordered: - mozz sticks - braised beef bruschetta - the ruby pizza with chicken - carnitas pizza - passion of the spice and butterflies scare me to drink! I loved everything I tried! My favorite was the carnitas pizza so I'll start with that. It literally tastes like a carnitas taco down to the chulula packet, such a great touch. I had to remember I was sharing, and had a bunch to try, because my eyes were definitely eating for my stomach. I enjoyed the ruby pizza as well. We added chicken and it was a great touch. Their crust is thin and crispy but not dry and burnt, it's really done well. The mozz sticks and braised beef bruschetta were sooo good too! I enjoyed the sauce with the mozz and wish my bartender didn't grab it when I wasn't looking because I'm sure it'd be perfect for slice dipping as well. Our bartender was great! He was very attentive and kept our water glasses full on the side which I always appreciate. Inside is so unique with the Keith Haring touches and the lighting at the bar. There are a lot of TVs inside and a nice mix of seating options. I love their bar stools, very comfortable! Looking forward to the next visit and trying their wings. read more

Had been hearing a lot about Sparrow so we had to go and check it out. It's a pizza bar with plenty of other options, nice bar area as well. They divide the restaurant into two area, the bar and another section of the place with booths and tables. For an app we opted for the mozzarella sticks. They brought meatballs out by accident and let us keep them so bonus review. The meatballs were super tasty, definitely homemade and had light sauce for them, would get them again. The mozzarella sticks came out on a stick, cool presentation, dipped in marinara, also very good. Now to the pizza, it's very similar to Colony. SUPER THIN style pizza with some crunch, I'd give it the nod over Colony. I got the H.O.P. Pizza which was made with Calabrian Chili Oil. It was different, wish it was a little spicier but still very good. My wife got the Ruby, recommended by our server. Came with some no nut Pesto and vodka sauce, she enjoyed it. read more

Since it was my first trip to Sparrow the manager came out with a free appetizer of rice balls which were amazing. We went during happy hour which is m-f 3-6 pm. I got the white sangria for seven dollars, which was very good. I also did a build your own pizza with vodka sauce, goat cheese, and mushrooms. The pizza was to die for the goat cheese was so creamy highly recommend. We did order the salt and pepper potato chips, they forgot to bring out but they packed them to go for us and took it off the bill. The restaurant has a real cool vibe, warm lighting, artistic graffiti on the walls, and it's nice and spacious. I will be coming again for sure. read more

I have been to Sparrow several times for Sunday Sips and it has been a go-to after a long shift for drinks and some bites. The restaurant is always clean with a nice ambiance for hanging out with friends, and we are always sat quickly. For food, the main highlight for me are the truffle parm fries-- they are perfectly crispy, fresh with a great black truffle sauce. The mozzarella sticks are also really good, crispy and a good size and come with a generous amount of marinara sauce. The pizzas are also good-- they are very thin and not necessarily crispy on the bottom, but the toppings are generous and are the right size for a single dinner portion. For around $14-18 per pie it is a pricier for pizza comparative with other options, but they have nice and quality toppings and interesting specialty pies. Almost every single time I have gone to Sparrow we have gotten great service, the waitresses have been quick to take orders and make sure we have drinks and water at the table. However, notably we had very subpar service a couple months ago which was so bad I almost did not come back. On a Sunday, which was not busy at all save 2 large group tables and maybe 3-4 couples at other tables (this restaurant has dozens of tables), our waiter NEVER came up to our table, never offered us water, or acknowledged our existence in any way. Another waiter fortunately seated us and after 10 minutes took our drink order, but emphasized that the other waiter was supposed to serve us. We waited another 20 minutes without having our order taken, and not being acknowledged by the man who was supposed to be our waiter (who was I guess struggling to split the check for a large table, but when not serving them was on his phone or chatting with someone else) and having all the other wait staff chatting with each other on their phone until the waiter who took our drink order came back with our drinks and we had to ask him to please take our order. Thankfully this has been a one off bad experience, and we received our food quickly after finally ordering, but was worth mentioning as IDK if waiters are only assigned a specific section but it was a lot to have been ignored for a half hour by the waiter assigned to our table. read more

9/11/25 We went to Sparrow after an unsettling experience at another nearby restaurant and I'm so happy we did. The bar tender greeted us with a smile. Took our orders and gave us waters without having to ask. I've worked in the restaurant business for a long time. I'm a big critic because of it. Water on the table is automatic. I was so impressed after leaving EL Santo across the street. I can't wait to go back and hope to have the same feeling and hospitality. A smile goes such a long way so thank you to the lady bartender last night. read more

Food was good. I went during happy hour when things were slow and ended up having a decent lunch. However, the service felt poor. I felt neglected throughout my experience, and one of the waitresses placed my meal down in a dismissive manner almost sliding it across the table for me to grab, as if it was an inconvenience to serve me. It made me feel unwelcome at the establishment. The space is beautiful, though. The menu offers a variety of options, including drinks. I might consider returning under different circumstances. read more

Sparrow has been one of my regular spots lately, but this past weekend I had an uncomfortable encounter. One of the bartender/servers for my table was pretty rude and clearly not made out to be in the food industry. Seemed overwhelmed by the amount of tables and was extremely short and aggravated when my table was ordering simple food/ drink items (wine and fries.) She often rolled her eyes coming back to our table and had an aggressive tone asking if we needed anything else only after ordering one round of drinks. I forget her name but she had semi red hair. Maybe she was having a hard night but the whole encounter was extremely unprofessional. Never have had an issue here before! read more

Sat at the bar for 10 minutes after being assured by the bartender she would be right with us. There was only a handful of people at the bar. She greeted and served two other groups who came after us, never came over so we finally left. read more

This was Sparrow Pizza Bar My order was the JMB Cocktail and the Shy-Roni pizza. The drink was a bit bland honestly. Even the tequila was just faintly there. It wasn't the best drink ever and I do regret paying the $13.50 for it. The pizza was delicious. The edges were burnt so the cheese did have a tart flavor there but otherwise it was yummy. Very greasy tho so be mindful of that. What I am upset about is the price. The pizza and a choice of dip is $17.50 which isn't bad for the actual quality, but beware of your bill at the end. I was charged $2 for the dip as if it was an extra side dip. So almost $20 for a pizza was pushing it. Service was good generally speaking. We were pretty quickly seated considering it was around 7pm on a Friday night and it was soon starting to get packed. We decided to sit outside but the weather was way too windy and they had no issue moving us inside. Waiter was very friendly and attentive to us as well. The atmosphere was calm but loud. Not the restaurants fault tho, music was low just a lot of people talking over each other. I would love to go again and see what changed on the menu since it seems like a lot of new things were added. This isn't a place I would frequent tho considering the prices and portions. Definitely a nice place to go out with friends tho. read more

Food: 10/10! Chefs kiss! You can really taste the quality and freshness in the food. The pizzas are top notch artisan style pizzas. Recommend - Ruby Red pizza, Beat Bobby Flay pizza with aioli sauce. Scarf it all down with the lemonade and you're living the dream. Service: AMAZING! First time in Connecticut and we felt very comfortable. Tom and the staff were so nice to us. Tbh my hubbie and I came in pretty late and we ordered pizzas before the kitchen closed Ambiance: very chill and welcoming. It's not too loud. I came in late but it was cool to see parties, couples, and singles chilling. The surrounding area seems to be like a party campus.

Ok, so I'm not with the majority here. I think the "pizza" is weird AF. It's like flatbread/tortilla covered in cheese. There is no crust. It's bizarre. I guess it's good for what it is, but I can't classify it as pizza. That being said, the beet salad is delicious. It's hardly a salad. It's beets, orange, yogurt, and herbs. It's fantastic. So refreshing. I go there specifically for that salad lol read more

Absolutely amazing food! Loved everything from the ambiance, our server, the tables, the menu. It was definitely some of the best pizza we've had. The Elote pizza was my personal fav!

This was our first time in West Hartford. Super cute area--it was hard to decide which restaurant to try! We sat at the bar. The restaurant was fairly busy and I don't think they were staffed properly because the bartender was busy and also serving tables. So the wait on drinks was a little annoying. We ordered the brussels sprouts as an appetizer. I ordered the Cajun Spiced Chicken sandwich and my husband ordered the Beat Bobby Flay pizza. The sprouts were good--a little greasy but seasoned well and I loved the buttermilk ranch dressing on them. My chicken sandwich was good but it did not taste very Cajun-ey. The pizza was spicy! My husband liked it but could not eat more than half of the small pizza because his face was on fire. Overall, a good dining experience. I'd definitely return. read more
