Connecticut is practically a pizza paradise. With what seems like pizza joints on every corner in every town, you’re never far from having a hot slice when cravings hit. But there’s only one restaurant that tosses their pies from inside a converted subway car and it’s an eatery not to be missed.

Nestled right alongside the railroad tracks running through Wallingford, Trackside Brick Oven Pizzeria is a unique spot to dine. The eatery is a converted 1920s Philadelphia subway car providing a fun and historical atmosphere for dining.

The inside of the subway car is outfitted with tables to sit down and enjoy your meal. But iconic elements like advertising, maps, and overhead straps are still intact.

Pizzas are hand-tossed and cooked in the brick oven at one end of the car. Choose a specialty creation like the Rustica or Lobster Pie or build your own.

You can load up with tons of fresh ingredients. Spinach, bacon, ricotta, shrimp, broccoli, and pineapple are just a few of the choice for toppings.

Trackside Pizza also offers a tasty selection of appetizers, grinders, stuffed breads, and authentic Italian dinners. You won't ever go hungry on this subway car.

Gather the family and head out for a delicious pizza at this one-of-a-kind subway car eatery on the right side of the tracks.

To satisfy your burger cravings, head to this roadside stand that’s been around since the 1920s.
