Colony Grill at Raymond James Stadium: Locations and the Bucs Pizza Offer

• Colony Grill, the Connecticut thin-crust chain, is now an Official Pizza Partner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with stands in Sections 109, 134, 311 and 336 at Raymond James Stadium.
• The stands sell three pies: plain cheese, pepperoni and the Original Hot Oil, topped with serrano pepper-infused olive oil.
• Show a game ticket or Krewe Card at the Tampa Midtown or St. Petersburg restaurant within seven days of a home game and the second pizza is free, dine-in only.

Game-day pizza in Tampa now comes from a 91-year-old Connecticut bar. Colony Grill is an Official Pizza Partner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and sells its thin-crust pies at four stands inside Raymond James Stadium, the company announced on Sept. 25.

The deal runs through 2030 and comes with a perk outside the stadium: a buy-one-get-one-free pizza at Colony Grill’s two Tampa Bay restaurants after any Bucs home game. Here’s where to find the stands, what they sell and how the offer works.

Where is Colony Grill at Raymond James Stadium?

At four concession stands: Sections 109 and 134 on the 100 level, and Sections 311 and 336 on the 300 level. The Bucs’ food and drink guide for the stadium lists the same four sections.

The stands sell three pizzas: plain cheese, pepperoni and the Original Hot Oil. On the club level, the pies come to your seat in co-branded Colony Grill and Buccaneers personal-size boxes. Suites, the Champions Club and the Hall of Fame Club get larger pizzas.

Raymond James Stadium is cashless, so pay by card or phone. Neither the team nor Colony Grill has posted the stadium price. The stands made their official debut at the home opener against the Browns on Sept. 20, though Colony Grill had already been serving pizza at the stadium’s summer concerts.

“Buccaneers fans have made Colony Grill part of their game days over the years — now, we’re excited to meet them both at our restaurants and at Raymond James Stadium.”

Paul Coniglio, co-owner and CEO of Colony Grill

How does the Colony Grill Bucs pizza offer work?

Bring your game ticket or your Krewe Card, the Bucs’ membership card in the team app, to Colony Grill in Tampa’s Midtown development, at 3640 Midtown Drive, or in St. Petersburg, at 670 Central Avenue.

Buy a pizza and get a second one free, on game day or within seven days after any Bucs home game.

The fine print matters. The free pie is a plain cheese or a Famous Hot Oil. The deal is dine-in only, not for takeout, delivery or online orders, and it’s one per person per offer period. It can’t be combined with other offers. Game-day staff and Bucs personnel can redeem it with a valid credential.

At the restaurants, a plain pie costs $12.95 and each topping, hot oil included, adds $1.95, according to the Tampa menu. So the free pizza is worth $12.95 to $14.90.

Both restaurants open at 11:30 a.m. every day and close at 11 p.m., or 12:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, according to the hours posted on Colony Grill’s site.

If you were at Sunday’s game against the Vikings, your window runs through Sunday, Oct. 4, the day the Packers come to town.

When are the Bucs’ remaining home games?

The announcement counted eight remaining home games; Sunday’s 23-16 loss to Minnesota was the first of them. That leaves seven on the team’s schedule:

The Bucs are 0-3 after Sunday, and the team says quarterback Baker Mayfield left the loss with a thumb injury.

What is a hot oil bar pie?

It’s the pizza Colony Grill was built on. The chain started in 1935 as a post-Prohibition tavern in an Irish neighborhood of Stamford, Connecticut. During the Depression, its Italian and Eastern European cooks wanted to serve pizza, but a full pizza tray didn’t fit on the narrow bar.

The fix, as the company tells it, was the bar pie: an extremely thin crust, smaller than a regular pizza, with little cheese and sauce, so a slice can be eaten with one hand while the other holds a drink.

The pizza got so popular that the rest of the menu, and the grill, disappeared. The name stayed.

Hot oil is the signature topping. It’s olive oil infused with serrano peppers, with what the company calls a “mild-medium kick,” and each hot oil pie comes with one whole pepper on top, known as the “stinger.” Tampa Bay’s local TV show Great Day Live visited the St. Petersburg restaurant in 2022:

The Bucs aren’t Colony Grill’s only local team: its website also calls it the official pizza of the Tampa Bay Rays.

More pizza and game day: in Arizona, Russo’s New York Pizzeria just opened near ASU with a 28-inch pie. For another kind of Sunday drama, here’s whether Taylor Swift is at the Chiefs game, and here are Tuesday’s free National Coffee Day deals. More in Food.
