Colony Grill

Colony Grill, established in 1935, is a renowned restaurant chain celebrated for its unique thin-crust "bar pies" topped with signature "hot oil." Originating in Stamford, Connecticut, the establishment has expanded its presence across multiple states, including Connecticut, New York, Florida, Virginia, and Maryland.

The restaurant's menu is centered around its distinctive thin-crust pizza, which is best enjoyed with the signature hot oil topping—a spicy, pepper-infused creation that adds a flavorful kick to each slice. This specialty has become synonymous with Colony Grill, leading to the evolution of the establishment's name from "Colony Grill" to simply "Colony."

In addition to its culinary offerings, Colony Grill focuses strongly on community engagement. Each location features a "Wall of Heroes," displaying photographs of veterans and first responders submitted by patrons. This initiative honors those who have served in uniform, fostering appreciation within the restaurant's environment.
