Living in Connecticut we have no shortage of pizza restaurants. But if you truly want a special dining experience, try this pizza serving subway car that not only serves fantastic pies, but also has a truly unique atmosphere.
Trackside Brick Oven Pizzeria is literally located track side in the town of Wallingford. The restaurant is operated out of an authentic 1920s subway car.
The subway car was originally a hot dog stand located 5 miles away and in the late 1980s, it was moved to its current location on Dudley Avenue. The hot dog stand closed in the 1990s and was left vacant for a few years.
In 2000, the empty vintage subway car became occupied once again when three partners purchased the location and refurbished the car.
One of the improvements was the installation of a new gas fired brick oven. The oven is used to cook the extra delicious pizzas in this joint.
The interior was spruced up during the renovation but the owners kept the subway car true to its vintage era.
Inside the restaurant there are original signs and overhead you can see the hand grips where passengers would hold on. There is also an original subway map hanging on the wall.
