When Slice of Stamford opened just a few months ago, it debuted a menu of more than just standard pies. Its specialty pizzas feature gourmet ingredients, and many of them take traditional Italian entrees and convert them to pizza form. Then the chef also crafts a few more classic pizzas, if that’s closer to your tastes.

When you want something simple, try the margherita pizza topped with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and basil or the white pie with mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan, and fresh garlic. If you’re in the mood for a more inventive meal, opt for the chicken marsala or penne vodka pizza. The latter is actually strewn with tender penne pasta and smothered with a house-made pink vodka sauce, plus a layer of the standard mozzarella. White clams, shrimp scampi, and fresh veggies embellish some of the other signature pies at Slice of Stamford.
