    Grigg Street Pizza

    Downtown Greenwich, Greenwich

    Restaurant in Greenwich, United States

    Why go

    Grigg Street Pizza is worth using as a casual Greenwich regular spot, especially for housemade pizza dough, fresh mozzarella, sandwiches that go beyond basic pizzeria filler. Go solo for slices before 5pm, bring a small group for a whole pie and sandwich, or return Thursday for the special pie.

    About Grigg Street Pizza

    Grigg Street Pizza is a casual pizza shop in Greenwich with counter service, music, cooking aromas, concert posters on the walls, enough room for guests to have a good time. The appeal is direct: use it for a relaxed neighborhood meal rather than a formal night out.

    The simplest plan is to order from the core of the menu. A 16-inch pie or Margherita Pie is the baseline for pizza, while the Thursday Night Special Pie gives regulars a specific reason to time a visit later in the week. The Chicken Parm Sandwich and Philly Cheese Steak add range if not everyone wants a pie.

    Use it as a repeat neighborhood play, not a once-a-year pizza splurge

    Grigg Street Pizza works because the decision is simple. It is a pizza shop with a cozy, classic, hidden-gem feel, the atmosphere is built for an easy casual meal rather than a polished dining-room experience.

    The price point supports repeat use. Around $20 per person, it sits in the sweet spot for a casual Greenwich meal. The Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives feature in 2026 is a clear recognition point, but the practical reason to go is the format: pizza, counter service, a relaxed neighborhood setting.

    If the first visit is pizza-focused, the second can be sandwich-led. The Chicken Parm Sandwich and Philly Cheese Steak are both signature dishes, which gives the restaurant more range than a pizza-only order.

    Order across the menu before deciding your regular order

    For a small group, start with one whole pie and one sandwich rather than making the meal more complicated than it needs to be. The 16-inch pie is the baseline, the Margherita Pie is another signature choice for a more classic pizza order.

    The Thursday Night Special Pie is the right move when the timing lines up. Because the restaurant is open Thursday through Saturday until 8pm, it can also work for a casual early-evening pizza plan on those days.

    The strongest order path is pizza and sandwiches. If you want to understand the place quickly, compare a pie with either the Chicken Parm Sandwich or the Philly Cheese Steak, then decide which direction should become your regular order.

    The room suits casual regulars and quick Greenwich meals

    Atmosphere is part of the recommendation, but only if the reader wants informal. Counter service, music, cooking aromas, a room with enough space to hang out make it better for a casual pizza-shop visit than for a quiet formal meal. Dress expectations should stay relaxed.

    Timing matters. Grigg Street Pizza is closed Sunday and Monday. It is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 11am to 3pm, Thursday through Saturday from 11am to 8pm. The Thursday special gives regulars a reason to avoid treating every visit the same.
