I have to say this pizza is by far one of the best I ever had. I know this isn’t the historical New Haven location but it’s truly phenomenal. I was lucky enough to grab takeout in 30 minutes on a very busy Friday night. I’d recommend this location for a fun date night due to the bar and huge open spaces in both floors. If you want to talk privately or enjoy sitting at the bar this could be the place for you. The pizza itself was great - beautiful char, good sauce and perfect pepperoni cupping. This place will drive me to try the New Haven location in the near future.

What a pleasant disappointment.
Look. This place makes good pizza. But the total lack of service is a no go for me. That alone is worth giving this place two stars. If I wanted take out, I could order take out. It has the atmosphere of a sit down restaurant, although this is misleading with the kiosk self serve and no post order service including refilling of drinks.
Sadly I won’t be back. Pizza will be cheaper and just as good with full service elsewhere

Overall very good experience. First time with New Haven style, had high hopes and the pizza did not disappoint.
It was opening and I was surprised how empty it was, granted it's a holiday weekend. We ordered 2 Caeser salads and a large pie. The Caeser was honestly underwhelming. It lacked flavor, salt, pepper. A very bare bones version of a caeser, with no croutons or anything other than lettuce.
The pizza came next, huge 20" pie. Cooked well done, and in my opinion, perfectly. The sauce was very clearly fresh and the cheese was light and tasty. As far as pizza goes, this is pretty high up there, and our family easily could have eaten a second pizza.
Service was fine, nothing special. Clearly the pizza is the star, skip the salad next time.
Other reviews talked about speed, granted no one was really in the restaurant when we ordered, but we experienced prompt service.
4.5/5 would eat here again.

What a difficult review to write… this is SALLY’S… SALLY’S!!! The best pizza place in the US… to open a second location outside of New Haven is a big move! Choosing Stamford as your second location is a no brainer - well done!
Taking a step back - the apizza - the pies were absolutely delicious! Are they New Haven status… no… are they darn close… absolutely!
It is clear - 100% clear - that the owner/manager of this establishment is ignoring the blatantly obvious fact that patrons of Sally’s, the target client, is not interested in ordering their pizza from a centralized kiosk and sitting down at a table with limited to no interaction from a server! What an embarrassment to a “family forward” establishment.
The sad reality is SEVEN months in the owner/manager is ignoring reality and digging their heals in… I am worried this location will fail… unless things change. And I hope they change.
It took 45 minutes for my wife and I to receive the pizzas we ordered tonight… this is NEW HAVEN APIZZA - it takes 5 minutes to cook… the pizza makers were legit joking around behind the pizza counter… they should be pumping out pizzas like they do in New Haven…
Management needs to take some control here.

Excellent New Haven style pie - thin crust (extremely well baked with a little char), great red sauce, light on the cheese and amazing toppings. The sausage and potato options were fantastic - and the cheese-only pie was a classic! Great new rendition of a classic spot!

Having grown up in New Haven you can imagine how excited I was to hear about a local favorite opening up in my new neighborhood. Growing up Sally’s and Pepe’s were the the highlight of a good evening. A local favorite perfected by their namesakes. This evening I ordered a small cheese pizza for an 8pm takeout. I live in the building above this location and was able to arrive exactly at 8pm. I was told my pizza was in the oven and wouldn’t be more than a few minutes. Having eaten, and even made, these pizza’s since I was a child I know they don’t cook for more than 5 minutes in the oven. You could imagine my shock that it took until 8:29pm to receive my order
This could typically be blamed on a busy Friday evening crowd however this Thursday evening their dining room is closed and they are operating with take-out orders only. I am not sure what Sally’s needs to do to improve their fulfillment time but at this rate I can’t imagine they will be particularly successful. It appears Sally’s has decided themselves to settle the age old debate: what is the best New Haven pizza shop .. Sally’s or Pepe’s?

A very very good pie. Comes down to personal preference but from a technical standpoint, this is as perfect as a pizza gets. Professionally operated. This restaurant has it all. I’d like to come back and try more options but I’m pretty sure the standard Tomato and Mozzarella pie is and will always be the benchmark for all others.

Updated review: made it over to Sally’s for dine in early Saturday evening and did not have to wait to get seated. Service was fantastic even though the pizzas took some time to come out. Was well worth the wait though as the pizzas were excellent quality. Potato pie was cooked perfectly as was the mozzarella pie (although I would have preferred a little more cheese). Hopefully take out gets worked out but look forward to coming back.
Original review:
Love Sally’s in New Haven so was super excited to have Sally’s Stamford open up two blocks from my condo. Tried to order pick up twice only to be told they are sold out for the day for pick up even though I stopped by at 4pm. The other option is to wait over an hour to dine in which isn’t really an option with kids.
We wound up ordering from another pizzeria instead and plenty of good pizza in Stamford. Even though Sally’s is technically our closest pizza spot we will avoid until the hype dies down.

We were coming in for a wedding in Stamford and wanting to try New Haven style pizza. Bummed we were an hour away we found out Sally's opened up a new location a few weeks ago so now we were pumped. We ordered their clam pie and potato/bacon pie. We informed the staff we were super excited to have that New Haven experience in Stamford and the owner himself delivered us a cheese and tomato pie. We were not planning to eat three pizzas but I have to say it was worth the extra calories!

Great experience from beginning to end! Greeted by two friendly hosts who promptly seated us and explained the ordering process. Enjoyed the Caesar salad, and the three small pizzas we ordered were delicious (tomato, white and clam). The white was my favorite. The unlimited fountain sodas were also a nice touch. Dessert was delish. We will be back! Great addition to Stamford. Good spot for a work related lunch/dinner based on ambiance. Ample parking available in the garage located next door.
