Colony Grill Officially Recognized as the Tampa Bay Rowdies' Pizza for Four More Years

Colony Grill's Continued Partnership with the Tampa Bay Rowdies

St. Petersburg, Florida – Colony Grill has officially renewed its partnership with the Tampa Bay Rowdies, making them the team's official pizza for another four years. This collaboration, which first began in 2024, aims to enhance the game day experience for fans visiting Al Lang Stadium.

As a part of the deal, Colony Grill will serve its renowned 8-inch personal pizzas, offering fans a choice among three popular toppings. These fan-favorites can be ordered from a concession outlet at the stadium, through the ‘Hot Oil Rig’, an adventurous pizza truck positioned sidelines, or from the Colony Grill Corner Kick Lounge, which is the largest hospitality area in Al Lang Stadium, designed specifically to maximize enjoyment for fans.

Paul Coniglio, Co-Founder and CEO of Colony Grill, expressed enthusiasm about extending this partnership, emphasizing the significance of both organizations celebrating their anniversaries – Colony Grill marks its 90th anniversary while the Rowdies celebrate their 50th. He stated, "This collaboration underscores our shared commitment to honoring tradition and legacy. Both organizations have an extensive history in the Tampa Bay area, and we take pride in supporting the community while creating memorable moments for our passionate Rowdies fans.”

Colony Grill is not just about serving great pizza; they also actively contribute to community spirit. Continuing their collaboration, the pizzeria has pledged to sponsor the 'Military Member of the Match' program, which honors military personnel, first responders, and veterans at all home games. This initiative resonates with Colony Grill's existing commitment to salute those who served our country, and it aligns with their tradition of celebrating local heroes as exemplified by their 'Wall of Heroes' at each restaurant location.

Founded in 1935 in Stamford, Connecticut, Colony Grill is known for its unique Hot Oil Bar Pie, a distinct thin-crust pizza praised for its spicy Hot Oil topping. Their menu remains relatively simple but is complemented by warm hospitality and deep community connections. With several locations throughout Connecticut, New York, Virginia, Florida, and Maryland, the brand opened its first Florida restaurant in St. Petersburg in 2021, quickly followed by a second location in Tampa Midtown in 2022.

In addition, Colony Grill operates the 'Hot Oil Rig,' a fully-equipped pizza truck that caters to private parties and special events, bringing their iconic pizza experience closer to fans and patrons.
