• Pizza Bar • St. Petersburg

In 1935, a post-Prohibition tavern named Colony Grill opened in an Irish immigrant neighborhood in Stamford, Connecticut.Across the decades, 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.Colony’s famous "bar pies” are extremely thin crust, smaller in diameter than a traditional pizza, and not too much cheese or sauce so that slices can be easily managed with one hand, fittingly leaving the other hand free to hold a glass. Today, Colony Grill has multiple "grill-less" locations across Connecticut, New York, Virginia, Maryland, and Florida. - Colony Grill in St Petersburg is located in downtown St Petersburg, on the corner of Central Ave and 7th Street. Colony Grill offers carry out and delivery, as well as indoor & outdoor space for events up to 100 guests.

We enjoyed this restaurant. Not sure it was worth the hype. Very expensive for what it was. Doesn't compare to Chicago or NY steak houses, let alone Bern's, but charges the same prices. I'm pretty sure it was more expensive than Bern's. Our reservation was for 6:30, and they were already out of the 10-oz fillets. I thought this was unusual for a Saturday night, considering they knew how many reservations they had. But even though the rib-eye was not what I wanted, it was a decent steak. My wife's petite filet was very good, she reported. Wagu carpaccio was very nice, as was the Crab Louie.

Beautiful space. The DJ was excellent with a club like vibe. Sound level was a bit too loud for conversation but the vibe was great! The server was attentive and the food was tasty. Great place to hang out with friends

This was our second time in 2 or 3 days going back to Bavaro’s Pizza Napoletana & Pastaria in St Pete, FL. It has indoor/outdoor tables. The food is delicious and the service is awesome. Our waitress Jennifer was very friendly and polite. The first night, my husband and I both had the tagliatelle bolognese which was delicious. So we decided to go back a few nights later to try the pizza. We had the pizza margherita. It was delicious as well. We will be going back when we visit St Pete again. I highly recommend going.
