General Info

We opened Pizzeria Paradiso so we could make the kind of pizza we longed for but couldn’t find in the DC area; the kind of pizza where the crust was the most important part. To create that crust, we start with a wood-burning, domed, stone oven able to cook at a temperature of 650 degrees and above. Then we placed the oven at the heart of the restaurant so our guests would feel the warmth and comfort of its glow evocative of the warmth felt in a close friend’s home. Next, we developed a dough that would respond to our oven the way we dreamed. We let our dough rise slowly, work it by hand, lightly grace it with the finest quality toppings, finish it with extra virgin olive oil and cook it in our beloved oven.We opened Pizzeria Paradiso so we could make the kind of pizza we longed for but couldn’t find in the DC area; the kind of pizza where the crust was the most important part.

Driving around the Dupont Circle area of Washington D.C. my kids and I stopped in for a late lunch at Pizzeria Paradiso. Parking on the street - at a meter - on this wet and windy afternoon, we quickly made it inside.

Sean was our server and we were quickly seated. Restaurant was packed for 3:30 in the afternoon, but I guess that's Washington D.C.

Simple order - a 12" Paradiso Pizza with birreria tomato sauce at $18.00 and some Cozze E Gamberi at $10.00. Water for all as our beverage.

Food was tasty and cooked to order. Fast and courteous service. Sean expedited our order - as requested - as my kids and I had a dinner engagement in Georgetown in just over 90 minutes. Didn't want to eat too much before dinner.

Restaurant and restrooms were clean. No issues at all - an overall pleasant experience.
