Pizza! Pizza! Pizza!
Stratford Spots
Pizza! Pizza! Pizza!
Yes, pizza gets it's own category. In case you haven't heard Connecticut has been named the pizza capitol of the US! And it DESERVES it. Here are the spots worth the hype.
Apizza is a particular style of pizza you can only get in New Haven CT. Charred and crispy on the bottom with a chewy crust and simple toppings. Apizza doesn't get any better than Zuppardi's. Expect to wait a little bit on a Saturday night but it is ...
Zuppardi's Apizza
Sally's is rapidly expanding, but the original is in New Haven. If you're from CT you'll know all about the Sally's vs Pepe's debate - I'm here to tell you Sally's is better. Claim to fame is the tomato sauce pizza and it is so fresh and simple. If y...
Sally’s Apizza
Colony is it's own special type of pizza. It's a bar pie that is very thin, almost with a cracker type crust. It is delicious though! They now have a few locations in CT but Stamford is the original. I love their salad pizza, and always get their hot...
Colony Grill
This is a really special spot that flies under the radar in Stratford. It is SO good and you can tell how fresh all the ingredients are. Their flavor combos are incredible, and most pizzas are also available in vegan options as well! Their small bar ...
The Parlor
Bar pizza isn't as old as some of the New Haven classics, but it definitely earns it's reputation! It's delicious brick oven pizza - and you can stay and dance for a night out after! Go to order is definitely their mashed potato pizza.

This is a great place to meet friends or family. Amazing pizza AND it's a brewery! Their pizza is similar to New Haven style, but they definitely branch out with fun toppings. Their antipasta salad is also top notch. They also have great private spac...

Stratford Spots
We've lived in Stratford about 6 years now and have found some really great hidden treasures!
The Parlor is in Connecticut Favorites twice. It doubles as one of the best pizza spots and a Stratford favorite.
The Parlor
Adorable breakfast and lunch spot, tucked off a main road in Stratford. Their coffee and matcha specials are so fun. The food is great too! I particularly love their avacado egg sandwiches. Also, in the warmer months they have a dog friendly space ou...
Frenchies
Our go to brewery right in Stratford! Two Roads has grown SO much over the years. They have multiple tasting rooms, outdoor spaces, and food options. They also host a lot of great events and markets. I particularly love their “area two” which has all...
Two Roads Brewing
Hands down the BEST burrito in Stratford - maybe in Connecticut? This is a hidden spot, literally in a residential area but that's how you know it's good. We usually get take out but there is a small seating area. Order their nachos and a steak burri...
Ay Guey
This is a newer coffee spot in Stratford. We haven't eaten here yet because it's usually quite busy but we love to stop for coffee! It's also right by the beach so a perfect spot to walk around with your coffee.
