‘Garage-Fired’ Pizza Place Opens In Stratford

STRATFORD, CT — A new pizzeria featuring “garage-fired” pizzas has opened in Stratford. PizzaCo recently opened at the site of a former gas station just across the street from Two Roads Brewing Company.

The restaurant is not only located in close proximity to Two Roads, but PizzaCo co-owner Jordan Bochanis has worked extensively with the popular brewing company designing labels and merchandise and drove past the defunct gas station location regularly before bringing it back to life, according to CT Bites.

PizzaCo makes “creative and seasonally-inspired ‘garage-fired’ pizzas in their Italian-built brick oven and delivers a craft beer, cocktail and wine bar experience – all from the uniquely cool environment of a former vintage gas station’s garage,” according to the restaurant’s Facebook page.

To help create their unique pizzas, PizzaCo hired six-time pizza world champion Bruno DiFabio as a consultant, according to CT Bites.

Not only did DiFabio, who has been on the Food Network and owns The Academy of Pizza Science, create the pizza and work in the kitchen, he also recommended the oven, CT Bites reports.

PizzaCo is located at 1625 Stratford Avenue and is open from 4:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, from 4:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Fridays, 11:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Saturdays and from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays. It is closed on Mondays.
