Colony Grill

"I had Colony Grill several times in Connecticut, I was pretty surprised when it opened so close to my childhood home in Maryland. I have not been inside this location, but I have had delivery twice. The pizza has been a big hit. My mom can't really eat regular pizza anymore, and asks for this specifically because it doesn't hurt her teeth, it was also a bit hit with her brother who is also in his 80's. I think the fact that it is less greasy made it more comfortable to eat. I usually get the ground meat and onions. Everyone did get a kick out of the salad pizza. I enjoyed the crust on that one. The hot oil is HOT, probably a bit spicy for my crowd, but great if you like a kick. We order the double cut which really makes it fun to eat. Edited to add one more note: Colony is different than Frank Pepe's, which has a location in the Mall. Pepe's has a firmer, crisper, slightly thicker crust, and is a bit more rustic, and the New Haven CT location has a nice coal char. Colony is thinner lighter bar pie, it has a more tender crust, and is really easy to nibble one. They are both CT but different."

"I love the atmosphere at Colony Grill. The staff is very friendly and it’s a great neighborhood option for grabbing a drink and some food after working from home. Would I like more menu options - sure, but it is what it is. I see it more as a great local bar with tasty pizza on the side. I like it a whole lot more than Quincy’s nearby which is packed, the food is meh, and the service and atmosphere leaves much to be desired in my opinion. I hope Colony sticks around!"

"DON'T LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS. It's clear that Maryland didn't have REAL pizza in the region until Colony came into town. Being from NJ/CT originally, and having family in Stamford, where Colony originates, the pizza is EXACTLY HOW ITS SUPPOSED TO BE. The facility is clean. The staff is very attentive. The pizzas came out in a timely manner. For the comments that say the menu is not "big enough", then go somewhere else. Colony is a PIZZA spot that specializes in PIZZA and that's all they need. Overall, a great experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"

"Easily close to the taste and quality of the Clarendon location. Hot oil pie hits the spot, as always. Anyone who's judging this place too harshly is either unfamiliar with the bar style pie, or are giving a new location grief while they're getting a hang of the ropes. Glad to have one on this side of the Potomac, and I will be back for sure. If you're dissuaded by a 1 star review, stop in and make the judgement for yourself."
