TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Following the Tampa Bay Buccaneers home opener, Colony Grill is kicking off its partnership with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an Official Pizza Partner, bringing its famous thin-crust pizza to the stadium and giving fans who attend a Buccaneers home game a reason to keep the celebration going.
“This is an incredible time for Tampa Bay sports,” said Paul Coniglio, Co-Owner and CEO of Colony Grill. “We felt that energy at the Buccaneers’ Draft Party in St. Pete and again at the home opener. Buccaneers fans have made Colony Grill part of their game days over the years—now, we’re excited to meet them both at our restaurants and at Raymond James Stadium, where we can add extra fanfare to the day. That Krewe spirit feels right at home at Colony Grill, and we’re excited to be part of the Buccaneers’ game-day experience and the traditions that come with it.”
Colony Grill will serve fans three Colony Grill favorites—a plain cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza and the Original Hot Oil Pizza – throughout Raymond James Stadium through 2030: including four concession locations in Sections 109, 134, 311, and 336. The club level will also provide in-seat delivery served in co-branded Colony Grill and Tampa Bay Buccaneers personal-sized pizza boxes, with larger format pizzas available in suites, Champions Club, and the Hall of Fame Club.
“Enhancing the Krewe’s game day experience is a top priority for our organization and adding Colony Grill to our concession stand offerings is another example of that commitment,” said Buccaneers Chief Commercial Officer Atul Khosla. “Colony Grill is already a fan-favorite, and we are excited to team up with a brand that shares the same dedication to quality and experience.”
This partnership brings a special offer to fans attending any of the remaining eight Buccaneers home games at Raymond James Stadium this season. Fans can present their game ticket or Krewe Card at participating Colony Grill locations to receive a Buy One, Get One Free pizza offer. The promotion is redeemable at Colony Grill’s Tampa Midtown and St. Petersburg locations, giving fans an opportunity to continue the excitement with family and friends on their way home or within 7 days after the game.
For Colony Grill, the partnership builds on a long-standing connection between its restaurants and the sports fan experience. Colony has been a place to meet up before a game, enjoy a pizza with family and friends, or settle onto a bar stool to watch a favorite team. The Buccaneers partnership now formally extends that tradition to the Krewe, while creating another opportunity for fans to gather around Colony’s signature thin-crust pizza.
Colony Grill has been serving pizza at Raymond James throughout the summer concert series and other programs but the partnership made its official debut during the Buccaneers’ home opener. Fans arriving at Colony Grill restaurants dressed in Bucs gear before heading to Raymond James Stadium and Colony Grill’s concession stands welcomed fans throughout the game.
