The opening marks Colony Grill's sixth Connecticut location, "bringing a tradition of hospitality, community involvement, and its beloved menu" to Hartford County.

"For more than 90 years, Colony Grill has been a place where friends, families, and neighbors come together over thin-crust pizza and cold drinks. We're excited to carry that tradition into Glastonbury and become part of this community for generations to come," Co-owner and Chief Operating Officer Ken Martin said.

Martin said In the months leading up to its opening, Colony Grill has received "an outpouring of enthusiasm and support from Glastonbury residents, families, and community organizations."

He added, "From early partnerships with local youth sports programs to conversations with neighbors eager to welcome the restaurant to town, the reception has offered a glimpse of the community Colony Grill is excited to become part of.

Among the restaurant's earliest community relationships is its partnership with Glastonbury Youth and High School Football and Cheer programs throughout the fall season. The partnership reflects a longstanding commitment to young athletes and students, and the role local organizations play in bringing communities together.

The Glastonbury restaurant will seat more than 175 patrons indoors. It will feature a full bar with 12 tap lines, multiple TVs and a large outdoor patio with TVs.

Other Connecticut locations include Shelton, Milford, Fairfield, Norwalk and Stamford, and there is one close to the Greenwich town line in Port Chester, NY.

The Stamford location goes back to 1935. Colony took over the space in Port Chester once occupied by a hot dog shack in the 1970s that overlooks the Bram River.
