Curated Ride Challenge - Colony Grill, Norwalk

Let's tick another off our Curated Ride Challenge list as we hit the BEST pizza spots in CT!

Colony Grill is the home of the original hot oil bar pie * (yessss, we recommend this! ) first offered in Stamford, but now in several locations.

We are riding to the Norwalk Colony Grill where they serve up their thin-crust classics just like the Mother-ship.

This will be a nice backroads ride, with just a bit of downtown Norwalk as we near our destination.

Afterward, you can ride highways (I-95 or Merritt) home, or side roads; the choice is yours.

Meet:  10:15AM location tbd

KSU:  10:30AM

Leader:  Bill A, RC

* FUN FACT! Back in 1935, during the Great Depression, the Irish owners of Colony Grill employed Italian and Eastern-European chefs who proudly wanted to share their recipes from their homelands with the bar patrons, but needed to figure out how to fit a pizza tray on the narrow Colony bar top. The solution: the "bar pie"…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. Eventually, across the decades, the hot oil bar pie became so popular that all the other Colony menu items faded away, as did the need for a grill.
