I love that this place has thin crust pizza! I tried one pizza with hot oil and another with cherry peppers and mushrooms. Both were delicious. The orange creamsicle drink was refreshing too. read more

My type of pizza! Thin, crispy, and overall delicious! Its definitely bar pie style. We got a pepperoni and the famous original hot oil pie. The hot oil was olive oil infused with Serrano Peppers. It was some of the best pizza we've ever had! We are from Pennsylvania and you can't find pizza like this unless you are going to NJ or NY. The setting was great, we went to watch the Georgia game. Tons of TVs everywhere. The waitress was awesome. She was great with recommendations and the manager checked in on us a few times as well! Love their style, we serve pizza and have a bar...add your toppings. Nothing else on this menu. Our kind of place! read more

I've heard great things about Colony Grill's "hot oil" pizza and that they make one of the best pizzas in the DMV. I think that can be true if you enjoy the pizza when dining in. I ordered a pizza to-go for a "take out potluck party" this past Friday on Uber Eats. Everything got to me perfectly fine and the pizza was packaged in a sturdy box. PIZZA - 11.95 +1.95 for hot oil +3.90 for 2x sausage +3.90 for 2x mushroom On Uber Eats, the pizza was 14.34, +2.35 for the hot oil, and +4.70 for the toppings. By the time we opened it up to enjoy the pizza (~1 hour after delivery), it was a bit soggy. There were plenty of toppings (since I did order extra for both), the hot oil provided a bit of spice, maybe? The dough itself was thin and a bit flimsy. It would have been nice if the freshness of pizza lasted longer than this. Overall, nothing extraordinary and almost boring. Some of my friends enjoyed it, though. If I get pizza at Colony Grill again, I'll probably enjoy it dine-in to make sure I eat it when it's as fresh as possible. read more

Colony grill is my go-to pizza places in the NOVA area. I normally get it to-go every time and it holds up the same as dine in. I love the hot oil with pepperoni pizza. I am normally not a fan of thin crust pizza, but something about it here is so good. Inside is a fun sports bar vibe with a full bar. The menu is limited to pizza, but it's so good that I don't mind. read more

Solid spot for pizza and a beer. They're known for their hot oil, so I tried it with pepperoni and thought it was good! It's a very interesting thin crust style - hadn't had anything like it before but it hit the spot. There's a variety of seating, including an upstairs section which I had never noticed as a pedestrian walking by. The menu is pretty straight forward... it's just pizza. I appreciated that they had a variety of sports on to watch (gymnastics, hockey, and some weird game show where people climb up what appears to be a slippery bounce house lol). Would return again! read more

Salad on a pizza? Who knew!?! Totally delicious pizza and the server made recommendations to make it even better. Plan to go back! read more

Pizza is great. I'm a big fan of thin crust pizza and Colony grill has very thin crust pizza. Each pizza is large but I recommend getting 1 per person. The service is very quick and friendly and the manage came and visited and was very friendly as well! Nice place for pizza and beer with lots of TVs in the bar area. Something to note is it's only pizza and salad served there, but if you're going for a pizza and beer kind of night. This is a good spot to go! read more

15 Mar 25 Update: Colony Grill was a perfect stop to celebrate St. Patty's Day weekend when other local Irish pubs were packed. We ordered a couple Smithwicks and Guinness along with their corned beef and cabbage pizza special and another pizza with sausage, onions, mushrooms, peppers, cherry hot peppers and hot oil. Everything was great. Thanks! read more

Service was excellent. Manager Shakeem and server Angelica went out of their way to make us feel well looked after. My wife and I have lived in CT and had been craving real tristate area pizza. The pizza was very good, way way above average for DMV area. Hot oil pizza with pepperoni and light onions was good. My wife is a celiac and the gluten free pizza was safe and decent. I will definitely be coming back here. read more

nice thin crust pizza, the menu isn't huge, it travels ok but you can tell it would be much better in person. favorites were the plain cheese and pepperoni. salad pizza would skip - very much a salad on top of pizza dough and not a well integrated pie. also skip the breakfast pizza, the protein didn't stand out and it's a scrambled egg base, just was not appealing. the buffalo chicken was ok, chicken was a bit dry and needs blue cheese to assist. the margherita was good. read more

One location of a CT pizza chain with classic thin-crust New Haven style pizza This location is very sports bar-esk with bar, booth, and table seating. The menu is very straightforward - just a few varieties of thin crust pizza. The only exceptions are a salad and breakfast pizza I came here for lunch with my friend and the pizza was solid (though you need to expect very thin crust New Haven style), but our server was not very friendly at all. read more

Colony Grill - Cheese pizza with hot oil & the Signature Salad Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

We saw the shamrock on the sign so thought this might have some Irish dishes like bangers and mash or shepherds pie, but alas no. This was a quick stop to grab dinner while we were in the area before heading home late so this will be a quick review. The only food they serve is pizza. If you're serving only one item, then it better be good. Luckily, it was. I rather like thin crust pizza and I did like this with meatballs, mushrooms, and onions. I like the crispiness of the crust. It made holding it easy to eat. Service was also good. Street parking or a nearby garage. read more

This pizza was AWESOME! it was great thin crust pizza. We got three pizzas for four of us (two teenagers). Our waiter was very friendly and answered all our questions (What is a stinger? What is hot oil. How big are your pizzas?) The alcohol selection is fantastic. If you are visiting the area or live in the area, you need to stop by and get a pizza. There is street parking or a garage you can park in. read more

Stopped in here for a quick lunch and a beer and was not disappointed. I got the pepperoni pizza with black olives and mushrooms, and found it was the perfect size for two to share. No leftovers here. Love the thin crust. Was perfect. Service was quick and friendly. What more could you ask, haha. Would certainly stop in again but would love if they added some apps . Can a girl get some chicken wings or mozz sticks haha. Ambiance is your typical clean bar setting. Did have a family friendly vibe as well and great cost point for a pizza. Pizza and beer in the DMV for 25 bucks. Yes please! read more

Colony Grill - Pepperoni with black olives and mushrooms - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Pizza was decent and not too expensive, but the problem was the staff. They were very pushy and rude, despite my friend and I having gotten pizza and multiple drinks, they made it clear they thought we didn't order enough. No plans on ever coming here again. read more

Colony Grill is a great place to go for a relaxed and easy environment. The service and ambiance here were great as it was quick seating and quick service as well. The food came out quickly and was hot, fresh, and tasty. The crust is rather thin but very tasty nonetheless. Keep in mind the only thing on the menu is pizza with about 10 different topping options so if you're not in the mood for pizza you may want to avoid. Personally, pizza is never my first choice, but Colony Grill really provides a great value for the quality of their pizza. I would definitely love to come back here to watch some sports or hang out with friends. read more

Colony Grill - Sausage and Hot Oil Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

If you're in the area and looking for some good ole pizza, in a clean family friendly sports bar environment, with great staff and comfortable space, look no further. Our server apologized to us for overlooking our table, and the hostess apologized for the oversight and wait time despite them not being busy- those apologies and at the follow up attentiveness goes sooo far for us!! We did the gluten free dairy free option- and it was decent. I WOULD say- if they asked lost dog cafe where they get their gf crust from, and added their toppings then they'd have a hit on their hands !! Their blanco tequila option was solid and reasonably priced. I would be curios to take a bite of their regular pie and see what it's all about. It is ALL they do- so an interesting concept for sure ! read more

First time trying this restaurant and Connecticut-style pizza. No idea how it compares to the classic Connecticut pizza, but for someone who grew up on NJ and NY pizza THE PIZZA HERE IS EASILY THE WORST I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. Truly mind-boggling that someone can enjoy a thin layer of tortilla-like cardboard topped with a microscopically thin layer of sauce, tiny bit of cheese and an enormous spilling of oil!!! It is a flavorless cardboard with a ton of oil on top. Had the stinger pizza today and the peppers are indeed spicy, but there was zero flavor in anything, including the peppers they were only spicy not flavorful. The only reason I'm giving it a second star is because we really had fantastic service - the servers were wonderful, and the seating was comfortable, the restaurant is cleanI. If this is your thing - go for it! read more

Didn't eat but the cocktails were pretty good. I was charging my car and needed a drink. This place hits the spot. Don't tell the ‍

Colony Grill is such a fun place to hangout. The servers are all extremely nice and they have a bunch of big TVs to watch the game. The Guinness is always cold and the pizza is always hot. Their pizza is actually insanely good- super thin crispy crust that never flops. They have many toppings and variations. We love the margarita and the hot oil with sausage. Highly recommend checking them out. read more

Colony Grill - Margarita pizza - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Let me tell you a little secret about Colony Grill and all of its various locations (most in Connecticut); it's not a "grill." They only serve Pizza or Pie as we say in New York and Connecticut. The original location in Stamford, Connecticut dates back to 1935. We visited the location in the Clarendon neighborhood in Arlington, Virginia. This style Pizza is thin crust and unique! Our server Lilly and the General Manager Megan recommended that we each get our own Pie. The signature addition to each Pizza is their dizzled "Hot Oil" that is slightly spicy and pepper infused. You can add this or not. We were kind of mixed on this, I felt it was okay but made the Pizza kinda messy. It is not really spicy so don't let that scare you off. We tried five different Pizzas. The winner was likely the Sausage, Hot Oil and Onions version. The onions are not to be missed, a delicious sweet addition to the Pie. Interesting the Pizza as the only food item seems to work for the Colony Grill. They do offer a full bar and draft beer by the glass or pitcher. We enjoyed our time at Colony Grill. Go visit our friends Lilly and Megan--service is A++++. Not a dive place, but a spotless locale to get a unique Pizza. read more

Pub style pizza. That the only thing that they make and they do it right. I highly recommend if you love thin crust.

Eveything. Service was poor. Sat at table for 20 mins before being acknowledged. Waited approx another 20-30 mins for the food to arrive. Was not worth it. Worst pizza I ever had read more

This is a solid spot to come to! I would come here quite often when I was working. For lunch, dinner. I appreciate the DF option for their pizzas (it is an extra charge) the pizzas aren't too big either, which is nice. They are a bit greasy so be warned. The ambiance isn't anything too special. Just a typical sports bar vibe. The workers were always quite kind to me too! read more

When this place says "pizza" they mean it. It's the only thing on the menu. I thought for sure they'd have a side or something alas no. So it checks 2 of 3 boxes: good atmosphere, decent drink options but for someone who tries to limit or avoid non-liquid carbs, sadly no. I'm still wondering why this place presents as an Irish bar - I mean they have Guinness but that's it. I'm not why this review auto populated with check on food - I'd say good service good ambiance - I'm sure the pizza is good but what if I were here in a group who likes pizza and I don't? Really that's it? read more

I really wanted to love this, but it just didn't hit the way I wanted it to. I love bar pie! This place knows what they're doing with the crust! But the sauce was essentially nonexistent and toppings, with the exception of the stinger, were meh. Sweet peppers weren't sweet. Sausage was minimal and underwhelming. $20 for a bar pie with 3 toppings is also pretty steep. Maybe it'd be worth it if they put more toppings on the pie. read more

After living in Stamford CT for a few years, my wife and I became frequent customers of Colony. So you can guess we were ecstatic when we realized there was one in Arlington. Stopped in last week for a few pies and it was as good as always. Service was also fantastic. Will be back many more times. read more

Colony Grill - Pepperoni hot oil pizza - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

If you were just walking by on the street you'd never guess this Irish themed bar only served pizzas. But, that's all that's on the menu. $10.50 for a personal 12" pizza and $1.75 per topping (which I thought was a little pricey). The pizza was pretty good. I like the thin crust but the bottom of the crust was kind of cardboard and lacked flavor. The cheese and toppings were delicious, and the outside crust that got a little charred and crispy was delicious. The beer selection is okay, they don't have much on tap for being a bar. Our waitress was very nice and even offered to split out our checks for the 6 of us. Not my favorite pizza in the area but I wouldn't be upset returning! read more

I came in with a buddy and tried to order a Guinness, but they denied serving us for no reason. Its really interesting we got cut off in a bar we never had a drink in. We were polite and used manners and everything, but I guess they didn't feel comfortable with our group of 2 in an empty bar. read more

I officially have fallen in love with pizza again. I honestly didn't think it would happen. If you asked me what my favorite foods were, pizza would be nowhere near that list. The heaviness of the cheese and the crust usually did me in. If I ate pizza, I probably didn't want to see it for a while longer. The Colony Grill introduced me to a style of pizza that I'd never had before. The bar pie was the solution to everything I didn't like about pizza. It had a thin crust, less cheese, less sauce, but a ton of flavor. It was pizza that made me want more. The only thing confusing about The Colony Grill is the name. There is no grill, they only serve pizza! Despite the name, the pizzas here are delicious and are as simple as they can get. You have the opportunity to choose your toppings on the pizza, and I'd suggest you do things in a simple way. My go-to order is sausage and hot oil. The sausage is flavorful and the hot oil adds an extra layer of flavor. I've also had their hot peppers (stingers) and those really pack a punch! All of their pizzas are crispy and not heavy at all. There are a lot of other pizzas that I haven't even tried yet. There's a salad pizza which is literally a salad on the crust, a breakfast pizza, and many other toppings that I haven't gotten to yet. Regardless, the idea is the same. Feel good, flavorful pizzas, that's the name of the game! And Colony Grill is playing the game right. read more

Colony Grill serves excellent thin crust pizza in a casual, no-frills, friendly atmosphere. This location is in the Crossing, so very convenient for refueling after shopping or walking around. We got a sausage, mushroom, and olive pizza, and it was delicious. We weren't able to try the hot oil on top since my kid can't do spicy yet, but hopefully next time. We would definitely return here for pizza when in the area. read more

Came here on a whim and wow did it impress me! The facade is unassuming, but the restaurant interior is renovated and packed on a weekday evening!

Decent pizza. It's crispy and thin crust, our server didn't seem super psyched to be there. He came over to take our order but besides that basically ignored us. The hot oil is really good and my friend raved about the salad pizza. Very lowkey place to get food. There's one thing on the menu, but was decently busy. There's parking nearby and the area is cute. read more
