My wife and I recently went to Sally’s in Stamford before a comedy show at the New York Comedy Club. We got there around 5 p.m. during happy hour, and it wasn’t very crowded, which was great. We grabbed a booth and ordered a few things off the happy hour menu: the calamari, wings, and arancini balls, and everything was fantastic.
The calamari was light, crispy, and honestly some of the best I’ve had in a while. For a $6 portion, it was a steal, and the Calabrian chili dipping sauce that came with it was excellent. The wings were big, juicy, spicy, and all flats, which was a nice surprise. The arancini were packed with flavor and melty cheese, paired with a delicious pesto ricotta sauce.
For pizza, we ordered a small traditional tomato pie and a large “mootz,” half bacon and onion, half sausage and hot cherry peppers. The pizza was good overall, although the large we ordered was barely bigger than the small. Being from near New Haven and visiting the original Sally’s now and then, it didn’t quite match that level, but it was still enjoyable. The service throughout our meal was great.
Overall, we had a really good experience with great appetizers, solid pizza, friendly service, and a nice relaxed atmosphere for a pre-show dinner. We’d definitely go back, especially for the happy hour.
