Since 1935...
With a pizza unlike any other, Colony Grill provides simple enjoyment, exceptional hospitality, and abundant civic leadership to the communities in which our restaurants are located. In 1935, a post-Prohibition tavern named Colony Grill opened in an Irish immigrant neighborhood in Stamford, Connecticut. Since then, Colony has become famous for what is now its only menu offering: a one-of-a-kind, thin-crust pizza that is best served with the signature "hot oil" topping. We know what you are thinking…Irish pizza? Grill?
Home of the Original Hot Oil Bar Pie...
Our one-of-a-kind, thin-crust pizza is best served drizzled with a spicy, full-of-flavor, pepper-infused creation simply called: hot oil.
The original owners of Colony were indeed Irish-Americans, but they employed some Italian and Eastern European chefs during the Great Depression. These men proudly wanted bar patrons to try the pizza recipes from their homelands. Eventually, across the decades, the hot oil pie became so popular that all the other Colony menu items faded away, as did the need for a grill. But the name Colony Grill remains as a link to our heritage.
