Had been hearing a lot about Sparrow so we had to go and check it out. It's a pizza bar with plenty of other options, nice bar area as well. They divide the restaurant into two area, the bar and another section of the place with booths and tables. For an app we opted for the mozzarella sticks. They brought meatballs out by accident and let us keep them so bonus review. The meatballs were super tasty, definitely homemade and had light sauce for them, would get them again. The mozzarella sticks came out on a stick, cool presentation, dipped in marinara, also very good. Now to the pizza, it's very similar to Colony. SUPER THIN style pizza with some crunch, I'd give it the nod over Colony. I got the H.O.P. Pizza which was made with Calabrian Chili Oil. It was different, wish it was a little spicier but still very good. My wife got the Ruby, recommended by our server. Came with some no nut Pesto and vodka sauce, she enjoyed it.

Laid back atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating options as well as bar seating. The food was everything we expected and more. Mozzarella sticks broccolini pizza everything was so fresh, flavorful and just perfectly prepared. Although the crust is thin, it still has great consistency and crunch. Our server Cole was great and he also offered beer and food recommendations.

This was Sparrow Pizza Bar My order was the JMB Cocktail and the Shy-Roni pizza. The drink was a bit bland honestly. Even the tequila was just faintly there. It wasn't the best drink ever and I do regret paying the $13.50 for it. The pizza was delicious. The edges were burnt so the cheese did have a tart flavor there but otherwise it was yummy. Very greasy tho so be mindful of that. What I am upset about is the price. The pizza and a choice of dip is $17.50 which isn't bad for the actual quality, but beware of your bill at the end. I was charged $2 for the dip as if it was an extra side dip. So almost $20 for a pizza was pushing it. Service was good generally speaking. We were pretty quickly seated considering it was around 7pm on a Friday night and it was soon starting to get packed. We decided to sit outside but the weather was way too windy and they had no issue moving us inside. Waiter was very friendly and attentive to us as well. The atmosphere was calm but loud. Not the restaurants fault tho, music was low just a lot of people talking over each other. I would love to go again and see what changed on the menu since it seems like a lot of new things were added. This isn't a place I would frequent tho considering the prices and portions. Definitely a nice place to go out with friends tho.

Finally made it to Sparrow and I'm a big fan. We ordered: - mozz sticks - braised beef bruschetta - the ruby pizza with chicken - carnitas pizza - passion of the spice and butterflies scare me to drink! I loved everything I tried! My favorite was the carnitas pizza so I'll start with that. It literally tastes like a carnitas taco down to the chulula packet, such a great touch. I had to remember I was sharing, and had a bunch to try, because my eyes were definitely eating for my stomach. I enjoyed the ruby pizza as well. We added chicken and it was a great touch. Their crust is thin and crispy but not dry and burnt, it's really done well. The mozz sticks and braised beef bruschetta were sooo good too! I enjoyed the sauce with the mozz and wish my bartender didn't grab it when I wasn't looking because I'm sure it'd be perfect for slice dipping as well. Our bartender was great! He was very attentive and kept our water glasses full on the side which I always appreciate. Inside is so unique with the Keith Haring touches and the lighting at the bar. There are a lot of TVs inside and a nice mix of seating options. I love their bar stools, very comfortable! Looking forward to the next visit and trying their wings.

This was our first time in West Hartford. Super cute area--it was hard to decide which restaurant to try! We sat at the bar. The restaurant was fairly busy and I don't think they were staffed properly because the bartender was busy and also serving tables. So the wait on drinks was a little annoying. We ordered the brussels sprouts as an appetizer. I ordered the Cajun Spiced Chicken sandwich and my husband ordered the Beat Bobby Flay pizza. The sprouts were good--a little greasy but seasoned well and I loved the buttermilk ranch dressing on them. My chicken sandwich was good but it did not taste very Cajun-ey. The pizza was spicy! My husband liked it but could not eat more than half of the small pizza because his face was on fire. Overall, a good dining experience. I'd definitely return.

I went to Sparrow last night on a date because I've always wanted to try this place! Ever since it opened I always notice that it looks super popular and fun! And it did not disappoint! Fantastic service with a personable server, great outdoor seating, and wide ranging menu. The pizza was excellent, and the burrata dish was amazing! I highly recommend the burrata dish! Their cocktails are great-- I tried the spritz and loved it! Good prices and a fun experience! Highly recommend this place. Great for meals with friends or family, and dates!

Absolutely amazing food! Loved everything from the ambiance, our server, the tables, the menu. It was definitely some of the best pizza we've had. The Elote pizza was my personal fav! The pepperoni pizza comes with an option to add dipping sauce and drizzle- the hot honey was delicious. The risotto ball appetizer was also fantastic. Our server was so sweet. Cant wait to go back!

Love this restaurant for a lively dinner with great eats. The restaurant is usually quite busy, with the bar area almost always overflowing. The music is good though on the louder side. Decor borrows from the styles various famous street artists giving the space a young, city vibe. The thin crust pizza is reminiscent of styles you might find in the New Haven area (with a shoutout on the menu to colony grill which is one of my favorites). If you're looking for a fluffier crust, this is not your spot. The menu itself offers a wide variety of pies from your traditional, typical toppings, to more interesting and unique flavor combinations. The rest of the menu also offers some nice variety. From salads to appetizers, sharing plates, and great desserts. The cocktail menu has also never let me down. The only reason I give 4 rather than 5 stars is I find everything to be slightly overpriced. Understandable given the location right in West Hartford Center, but the tab adds up quickly every time I eat here.

Obsessed with sparrow! Oddly my favorite time to go is on during a lazy Sunday afternoon.. the bar is quieter the drinks are always on point and their bar food mostly, simple but tasty ears: pizza variations, fries, appys.. always ALWAYS deliver! My favs include: - proper gin martini (I'm a cocktailer and every bartender knows how to make a proper gin or vodka martini) which pairs nicely with the richness of the food! - Mozze sticks are to die for! - pizzas: shy-roni w hot honey and butternut bray.. hmmmm I can taste it Def recommend sparrow for eats and if a late night club life is your thang then this is the place for you on Friday and Saturday nights! A little something for everyone bc it's family friendly otherwise!
