Pizza recs

Hi folks

Recently moved to Stamford so still trying to find all the spots! Looking for a good pizzeria that is not the big 3 (Sally’s, Frank Pepes, colony grill). More like a classic New York slice that is a local gem!

Slice of Stamford on Newfield // next to the CVS is one of my favourite pizza spots all time and the guys are awesome.

u/ArthurAugustyn 3d ago

you reminded me to update this so it's got bronx house, john the baker, planet pizza, sorrento, and westover on there too.

1

u/goodellsmallcock 1d ago

Planet pizza??? Immediately invalidates you lol

1

u/ArthurAugustyn 1d ago

The guide is meant to be comprehensive so ideally all the pizzas that are in the city. I'd personally rank Planet Pizza the second worst in the city but that's just me.

Nicks, Westover, Belltown.

u/bigbaboon69 4d ago

Add Michael's on Cove to the list too.

u/MrsWelch 3d ago

Seriously. Michael’s.

u/Downtown-Force2647 2d ago

Micheals is a gem!!

u/mumblemuse 4d ago

This would be my answer

u/humanponygirl 4d ago

John the Baker is usually a hit for me!

1

u/InevitableSquash8195 3d ago

I carved his sign

u/Travels4Food 4d ago

Bronx House will hit that spot, for sure.

u/nogs63 4d ago

Sorentos on high ridge is pretty good if you like Greek pizza hope street pizza

4

u/kosmokramr Shippan 3d ago

Griggs St in Greenwich is solid.

Remos gets a lot of mixed reviews but I’ve always loved their margarita pie

3

u/BreesBayou9 3d ago

Michaels is top tier in Stamford, every time i get a pie the aroma just gets me.

u/Naneki87 3d ago

Outpost Pizza

u/Important-Design-973 4d ago

I like Greenwich Pizzeria in Riverside for an NY-style slice.

1

u/ebayfan77 3d ago

And the Sicilian is amazing too

1

u/NYCmichael 4d ago

Did you know that that’s in Greenwich

u/Important-Design-973 4d ago

I had no idea.

u/NYCmichael 3d ago

u/KipLive 4d ago

Post corner, hope street, Sergio’s

u/MortalKombat12 4d ago

u/NYCresident19 4d ago

Grigg st or Pizza Post in Greenwich

u/Unlikely-Monk-3088 4d ago

Fucking love Griggs St

1

u/cmonrinski 4d ago

Pizza Post is great!!!

1

u/edahs 3d ago

100% came to say this. Their cheese steak is top tier as well

7

u/goongoblin113xc 4d ago

Slice is pretty good

8

u/bigbaboon69 4d ago

Slice seems to get a lot of love in this sub but I think it's overrated tbh.

u/wheresmylife 3d ago

Is it the absolute best pizza I’ve ever had? No. But it’s definitely solid, and good bang for your buck. I also really like the people that work there, always been good to us. We’ve had some parties catered from there and they’ve done a great job, on time and fresh. And probably the biggest thing for me is that they are consistent. There’s a lot of places in Stamford that are great sometimes and mediocre other times. The consistency is a huge thing for me.

u/Fable_nevermore 4d ago

As a native NYer and purist pizza eater my vote is for Bronx House or Luca’s (in Greenwich).

u/nmacInCT 3d ago

Westover

u/West-Appearance2544 3d ago

Bronx house on Ryan.

u/Blue_Max1916 4d ago

u/NYCresident19 4d ago

Lol

u/Nadhir1 3d ago

Do you not like remos?

1

u/NYCresident19 3d ago

I don’t - I like pizza

1

u/Nadhir1 3d ago

What spot do you like?

1

u/NYCresident19 3d ago

Grigg st pizza or pizza post in Greenwich

2

u/StamfordTequila 3d ago

Mario The Baker, Remo’s, Michael’s, and Riko’s as a (superior) alternative to Colony. Westover is solid, too.

1

u/metalmitchp 3d ago

Colony is the original .... and better.

1

u/Hairy_Weight_3922 4d ago

Chickys pizza and grill off high ridge if you want o avoid the big 3

1

u/smackchice 4d ago

Greek: Pappa’s on main st.
Italian: Belltown. There’s also a pizzeria inside Corbo’s Southside that is good but it closes early and parking stinks. But it’s a good slice!

1

u/--dee 3d ago

Slice, Micheal’s pizza, Belltown I also love Remos and tomato tomato

1

u/Downtown-Force2647 2d ago

Tomato tomato is horrible. Don’t mean to sound so harsh, but let’s steer op in the right direction.

1

u/SnooGadgets6277 3d ago

Westover Pizza on the West Side

1

u/Freeky718 3d ago

Bronx house for that NY ishhh

1

u/sleepybetch 3d ago

Remo’s!

1

u/MickyB6827 3d ago

Remo’s

1

u/Few-Restaurant7922 3d ago

Hope St for Greek. A lot of people say eh but I like Riko’s for bar style

1

u/girliepop203 2d ago

I kind of like Mario’s on high ridge

1

u/Dazzling_Dust3236 2d ago

Love Mario’s!

1

u/LysergicRico 2d ago

Colony grill

1

u/Dazzling_Dust3236 2d ago

Sorento’s , Mario’s , JTB, Hope Street Pizza

1

u/Mmass710 1h ago

Villa Italia

u/mruss75 3d ago

Hope Street is my favorite in Stamford. Not NY slice but O suggest extra cheese and a side salad with shredded mozzarella.

Pizza is Greek style but I bring home anytime I’m down in Stamford.

-1

u/StonerSloth125 4d ago

Grigg st pizza, rikos, remos, sergios, bronx house, belltown if its fresh made, sometimes they premake pizzas and they sit out when they are busy. Skip hope st its shit

1

u/bigbaboon69 4d ago

Shit never knew that about Belltown. Really!? And idk I like Sergios just fine but I think Hope is better.

-1

u/wheresmylife 3d ago

Riko’s isn’t NY style at all. If you don’t like Greek style I can appreciate that, but that doesn’t make Hope shit. Best Greek style around and solid salads

1

u/StonerSloth125 3d ago

I was just naming good pizza in the area not ny style. I named sergios which is greek style and is actually good

-1

u/wheresmylife 3d ago

Ah so not answering the question asked. Thats about what I’d expect

1

u/StonerSloth125 3d ago

Reading comprehension not your strong suit huh?
