The Healthier Pizza

A pizzeria that grows on you.

Hartford Pizza Garden is built around a simple idea: great pizza should feel fresh, and a few of the best things on it should come from a garden. The sprout in the logo isn't decoration. It's the whole mission.

Owner Pepe Burby has said he didn't want to run “the average pizza place,” and the menu shows it. Instead of one style, there are three, each baked the way it's meant to be: New Haven thin and charred, Detroit deep-pan with crisp cheese edges, and Grandma, thick and square with the sauce on top, named for Pepe's late grandmother. He studied the Connecticut greats and the New York pies that inspired them, then built a menu of his own, with fresh herbs, tomatoes and greens, and a hydroponic garden, as part of the plan.

Then he kept going: a shepherd's pie pizza, a Hartford Square with hot honey, a taco pie, and a salad piled on top of a cheese pizza called the Garden Party. If it sounds like a little too much fun, that's the point.

Mission & community

Good food, grown close to home.

Our mission is simple: make pizza and pub-style food you can feel good about, with fresh ingredients grown right in the shop, and serve it to the neighborhood we call home. Hartford Pizza Garden is a place to grab a slice after work, bring the family on a Saturday night, or try a style of pizza you've never had.

We pour Foxon Park soda from East Haven, we put real greens on the pie, and we'd like to know your name by the second visit. Come hungry, come curious, and bring a friend.

The Garden Party: a cheese pizza topped with a chopped salad

House favorite

The Garden Party

A 12″ cheese pizza, red or white, with your choice of salad chopped right on top. Crisp, hot, cool and fresh in one bite. Best of both worlds.

Grown in house

The garden is real.

Inside the shop, rows of hydroponic towers grow fresh herbs under grow lights, no soil and no waiting on the season. It's the reason the logo has a sprout and the reason the pizza tastes the way it does.

Our hydroponic system is by LEVO International, a Hartford nonprofit that builds farms to fight food insecurity.

“I want to create healthier food with my fresh ingredients.”Pepe Burby, owner
