    Salad Pizza
    Paul Francis M.

    Super cool place. Liked the vibe on a Sunday evening which was surprisingly jam packed. Pizza was good. I ordered a breakfast pizza with both sausage and bacon. Loved the sausage, not a fan of the bacon. My friend ordered the salad pizza which I tried and also enjoyed. Tasted like a salad, duh, and the crust acted as croutons. Rather unique.

    Visiting from California, Such a vibe!! Colleen was our waitress, she made it 100x better. The pizza the vibes, customer service 10/10. Californias got nothing on this place. Highly Recommend this spot.... FYI: Thin slice pizzas!

    Hopping spot with quick seating, good pizza, efficient and pleasant service. The restaurant was teaming with patrons but we were seated by a hostess and greeted by a server in a very timely and friendly way. This here is thin-thin-thin crust pizza, so know that before you go. Also, nothing but pizza on the menu. Hot oil pizza is a must. Srsly, it is very tasty and not so hot to be off putting for those worried about too spicy.

    Pizza, like it was left on a counter overnight.

    I am super surprised. We've always loved Colony, live just a few blocks away. But today, the pizza was delivered (right away) as dry a a bone. Cheese congealed into the crust, it was not edible. Seriously, as if it had been sitting out on the counter overnight. So bummed.

    Hot oil pizza!

    Great vibe with tributes to our service men and women on the walls. Great service always. They win best bar pizza, thin crust, hot oil pizza for me. I've tried others I won't name, but, colony just wins. That what I have l, every time. Love it!

    I'm a New Haven native and pizza is such a thing. I came here twice as I thought maybe the first time was off. Nope. I really don't understand why the high reviews and comparison for the best pizza around. It's thin crust -- I'll give it that. But too thin. I just wasn't a fan. I know it's a staple to the area and people seem to love it, and hopefully they'll continue to thrive. Just wasn't my thing. Friend had a hot oil pizza and I had a pepperoni and onion. She's not from the area but also agreed that it wasn't a pizza she's come back to order again.

    My bf and I stopped by for a late dinner on the way to nyc and we were very impressed! I've heard good things about Connecticut pizza, but this was the first time having it. We ordered our own pizzas because they looked small enough but looks are deceiving. I got bacon, olives, and hot oil (as recommended by other reviews) and it was delicious! I wish the pizza was a little spicier, and wish I subbed the bacon for something else as it made the pizza greasier but overall I really enjoyed it. The service was a little slow, which was surprising because the restaurant itself wasn't very busy. Nonetheless we still had a great time and would love to come back again!

    Half cheese, half sausage  Hot Oil, Stingers, half olive

    Came back here yesterday and I can't say enough. It was busy and the hostess told us it would be a 45 min wait, but we were seated in 20 min. I got a Twisted Tea, and we got three pizzas: 1. Half cheese, half sausage 2. Hot oil, stingers, and half olive 3. Salad pizza Everything came out promptly and tasted amazing! Hands down one of the best thin crust pizza places I've tried! I can't wait to come back!

    We were visiting from out of town. This was where we ended up. This was our first visit but not for people that we were with. This was during Thanksgiving week, and the place was packed but was able to be seated within 5 minutes. The service was good. The menu has one item - pizza. There are no starters and desserts. NO OTHER OPTIONS. Everyone ordered their own pizza with various topping. The three that ordered with at least hot oil as one of the toppings loved their pizza. It's packed with flavors. It's not too spicy at all. I ordered one with mushrooms and onions. Not the greatest choices. Onions were very thinly sliced rings, not a good way to have onions on a pizza. With only these two toppings, it did not give the pizza much flavor. However, I did try a piece with the hot oil, which is definitely the way to go. I wish there were starters and more topping options, but I guess that is not the concept for the restaurant. Overall, it was a good experience and tasty pizzas (with the right toppings). I would eat the pizzas from here again.

    hot oil, stingers, sausage

    We came around 5pm on a Saturday and it was filling up fast. We got seated in a booth and the service was attentive. This place is good for little kids as it's loud so you're not disturbing your neighbors. Ordered the pizza with stingers (whole roasted spicy peppers), hot oil, and sausage. This was my first time eating the famous Connecticut super thin pizza and bear in mind that I'm a Nyer! I didn't love the pizza but it was good. I would have omitted the hot oil as it made the pizza to slippery and did not amplify the taste. The personal pizza size could probably feed 1.5 people. As someone who eats spicy, I didnt think the stingers were too hot and the hot oil had a small hint.

    Pizza is thin. Like matzoh smeared with tomato sauce and cheese. Not very tasty. Usually a long line

    Long wait for your pizza! Average wait 2 hours! They make you drunk first then your pizza will arrive.

    We went for dinner before a show at the SHCU theater, we got there around 5:30 and were quickly…read moreseated since we had a reservation for a party of 6. The menu is some what tied into the Puglia region, which is the heel of the boot. I could tell the italian dialect from the owner when he was speaking to one of the staff, it immediately gave me a good feeling that this restaurant would be really good. The appetizers we had were all really good, we had the fried calamari, the grilled Octopusss, the fried zucchini flowers and thd hummus special. Sorry no pics of these. We had a couple of the Orrechiette Barese, Chicken parmigiana, a pasta special of fettuccine with shrimp in a cream and pesto sauce, another pasta with cavatelli, shrimp and cream and pesto sauce, really couldn't see the pesto, probably could have used a little more or maybe a little finishing with the pesto on top. Service was good and the owner came around to introduce himself and we got a complimentary round of their homemade creama di limencello to finish off the experience. Wr wouldn't hesitate to go again the next time we are in town to see a show.

    Wow!! Absolutely loved this gem. Never heard of it until a friend recently invited me to happy…read morehour. We sat at the bar, backlit by The Sopranos and Goodfellas playing on the TVs. The space was classy but still casual enough, and cozy. I ordered the Howyoudoin' off the cocktail menu and the gnocci in a pink sauce; also shared the rice balls; absolutely loved everything. The concept of the restaurant is totally relatable for my Italian American family and I find it very funny - cannot wait to bring them in here to try. All staff were super nice. The merch is funny too.
