This place was fantastic. Service was great. We had the pizza with hot oil, pepperoni, and mushrooms. We also had the pepperoni and sausage. Both were very good. Menu is simple. Beers were good. I would definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic place! I like their 12-Inch 6 Slice pizzas and they have a few beers on tap who know that Beer & Pizza go well together! They aren't kidding when they say they honor the Veterans of our nation and their Hot Oil Pizza is definitely something to eat after a good days work! The furnishings in this place give really nice vibes and the atmosphere is already making me feel welcome! They say that their oven can churn out 200 pizzas easily in an hour so someone please take them up on that? 🤔🎲🥲🤣 Recommend!

When we went to Colony Grill, we didn’t realize it was a pizza place…but it was definitely worth it. They had a pretty decent selections of toppings to choose from, but we went for the breakfast pizza. Tasted fantastic. The server was also extremely friendly and explained everything well. Definitely a plus! They also had a couple of large TVs that had on different sports, and a bar to watch them at. Overall, I think this is a great place for very inexpensive pizza and a relaxed atmosphere.

I can't down to the food, but the bar staff (specifically Trevor) were great. He was super attentive and friendly. My glass was only empty for a few seconds. Great staff and great bar, highly recommend. Edit: the pizza is great too! Solid place of you're okay with just drinks and pizza

I had the pleasure of going to the Colony Grill after going to Arlington National Cemetary to see my son. As soon as we entered the restaurant, the owner, Chase Cohen, greeted us. The pizza was delicious, the service was excellent with the conversation being fantastic with the bartenders, servers and the Manager. The Colony Grill honors our first responders and Veterans with displays on their walls. I not only will be visiting again but will let my other first responder families and Veteran families know of this place. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I grabbed a hot oil pie with pepperoni and sat outside on the patio. They even brought a dog bowl for my pup, which was a nice touch. Service was fast, the pizza was delicious, and I appreciated that they had a non-alcoholic Athletic beer option. Great spot for a relaxed meal with your dog!

Reference (10/10/25 @5pm): Quick dinner with brother and baby. The best kind of pizza 1) leftover, 2) tastes good. 1) despite its size, the pizza is deceptively filling leaving myself with leftovers for the next morning! 2) the pizza tasted as good at the place as it did heated up the next morning. Service was excellent and the manager was helpful getting the table ready for my 11 month old, offering the high chair and booster Would come back again 5/5.

As a Native CT girl now living in the DMV, I had to stop by Colony Grill in Arlington to educate the students during our Pizzaology course. Megan K. and the entire staff did an amazing job providing us with the history and a hands-on pizza-making and tasting experience. I look forward to visiting with more students in the near future and hope that other schools join in to use Colony Grill for their pizza history lessons!

As someone originally from Connecticut, which is home of the original Colony Grill and arguably the pizza capital of the country, I went into this location with high expectations. I’ve been searching for truly great pizza in the DC area, and Colony Grill is hands-down the best I’ve found so far. The pizza was outstanding. Classic thin crust, cooked just right, with that signature Colony style that somehow manages to be simple, crispy, and incredibly flavorful all at once. Comparing it to the New Haven pizza circuit of the iconic spots I grew up with, I’d confidently give it an 8.0 on Dave Portnoy’s scale. It is a bit out of the way from where I live in the city, but absolutely worth the trip. This will definitely be my go-to when I’m craving real New Haven-style pizza. Service was the only weak point. Our server disappeared for long stretches, making it difficult to order more drinks and get the check. Not terrible, just noticeably less attentive than it could’ve been. Other than that, everything was great. If you’re in the DC or Virginia area and looking for legitimate thin-crust pizza, I’d highly recommend Colony Grill.
