Pizza Paradiso

I didn’t realize the place was attached to a gas station. We walked in and there wasn’t room for our big party, but they moved tables and chairs around to accommodate us. There was plenty on the menu to choose from. The food was pretty good. The server was super friendly and helpful.

I just want to say we appreciate this spot so much ! We’ve dined in and ordered out multiple times, each time the vibes are very family oriented, all staff is super polite and the pizza and wings are tooo good !😍 if you haven’t tried yet you’re missing out . -Joseph & Priscilla ❤️

To use one word it’s Alright! Wings needed more sauce, garlic nots were lukewarm and need to be softer. Pizza was the same.

I had an amazing experience at this place. my friend loved the pepperoni pizza. Our server was very friendly and offered great water. The cozy atmosphere, with its warm lighting and soft music, made for a perfect dinner out. The prices were reasonable considering the quality of the food. I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to go back.

The bruschetta pizza is amazing! Definitely recommend it. Will be back for more!

This is definitely an East Orlando hidden Gem. It's never busy which is crazy because the pizza is amazing. The perfect blend of melts cheese fresh toppings and crispy crust. Hands down my favorite spot. The staff is super friendly and the place is so clean. 10/10.

Ordered pizzas from this place the other and they did not disappoint! The pizzas were hot and delicious! I had placed a large order for a group of about 12 people. The staff was so kind, the guy working even carried all the pizzas to my car for me. I can’t sing their praises enough. Looking forward to trying more from the menu next visit!

Pizza was great nice and thin, Stromboli would’ve been better with less mushrooms and more sausage but still good

Hands-down best local pizza in my area I'm judging this off of consistency and cleanliness and quality of course there's a few other good ones similar to this non-chain mom-and-pop Italian style authentic but, Paradisio has come to proven the quality time and time again with my favorite little deal being I believe it's an all day special $4.50 you gettheir extra large slices and $.50 if you want to add toppings they never skimp on the toppings the quality is always right fresh and you get a drink with that you can choose the fountain or a bottle from the fridge conveniently other food is great and the service is exceptional floor is always clean and it smells freshly mopped if you're not near the downtown area you can always stop by here on Goldenrod and Valencia see the neon green lights at night you can't miss it this place will always have a special spot in my heart enjoy!

The pizza was freshly made and delicious. Staff were friendly and service was fast. Great customers, a nice man paid for my partner and my meal. This is a hidden gem that you should not pass up. Good music and nice ambiance.

Ok, ok, it's too bad that I live a bit far from here because this is one of the best pizzaria I've been to in a while. I ordered the special. 2 slices one topping and one drink. The slices are large! I could only eat one slice. I took one slices home. My husband ordered chicken wings and a salad. The chicken was bland but with the bbq sauce it was better. The service was great. The girl kept coming back to make sure everything was OK. Many came in to order out and some came to eat in. Everyone was satisfied and happy with their food.

The pizza is very good and comes out fast! Can order at the bar nearby and pick it up.

A New Yorker who winters in Orlando and a Philadelphia friend wanted a good Pizza in Orlando. Prior orders from various Orlando local parlors left alot to be desired. Yes the Domino's and other national chains were ok...a solid 3. So this pie arrived hot with a great crust. Plenty of cheese, excellent sauce. Sausage was great but uneven around the pie. Mushrooms were excellent. It's really a 4 plus. I found my Orlando Pizzaria.

Local favorite! I have been ordering from here for many many years. The owners and staff are super friendly- and their pizza, salads and sandwiches are top notch! One of the best New York style pizza spots in Orlando!

Great prices for what you get. Decent pizza with a nice and helpful staff. Give these people some business if you're in the area.

This is by far the best pizza in Orlando! My boyfriend and I came sort of late and they had run out of individual slice. However, e were leaving without a pizza so we ended up ordering a medium paradise Supreme. It was so delicious and cooked to perfection. The bottom of the pizza and crust were crunchy and the cheese just perfectly melted. I'm usually someone who leaves the crust since indont care for the doughy texture but at this place, I will eat it all. Bensi (not sure if that's how you spell his name), offered my boyfriend and me some marinara to try. He had overheard me saving marinara was one of my parts of a pizza . And oh my goodness, his was the best marinara sauce ever. He said he doesn't use any sugar but it was the perfect amount of sweet and acidity from the tomatoes. Absolute perfection. If you're looking for a pizza place, look no further. This is by far the absolute best place to go. Service is great, the people are pleasant, and the prices are very fair. If you're not feeling super hungry, I would really recommend getting the 2 cheese slices + 1 drink option for $6 or $7. It's what my boyfriend and I get usually. If you want more toppings they are 50 cents each. The slices are pretty big and 1 slice usually fills me up.

I loveeeee the pizza. Being from NY now living in orlando. This pizza is the next best thing to home. Love it. You get greeted soon as you walk in. The setting is just like any other pizzeria but clean.

Best pizza by the slice. The mozzarella pizza is by far the best. Amazing service , feel welcomed when you walk in and out. 10/10.

After hearing from several people touting the quality of Paradiso Pizza for a slice of the pizza that received such rave reviews. Paradiso Pizza is located in a small location attached to a Chevron gas station. It would be easy to dismiss due to its location on a gas station property itself, but the exterior is sadly bland. Green lettering screaming "PIZZA" with a smaller white sign following it with "PARADISO" does little to entice someone to come in from the road to try this establishment. I got a slice, which with tax was $2.40, and sat down to see what all the fuss was about. The pizza was ok. It had a nice amount of cheese and sauce, but the crust was not good. It had a strange texture, hard to explain, but more like I would expect on an off brand frozen pizza. As I said, the pizza was adequate, but there are far better choices.

I was excited to try NY style pizza. I love veggies so we ordered a large veggie pizza to go. I was so disappointed because the veggies were frozen and not fresh. (If they were fresh then please drain the water out of them because the veggies were so soggy.)It reminded me of frozen pizza from the local grocery store. The pizza lacked flavor.

Good and always been a family restaurant been coming here since I was just a child . Can't wait to bring my own kids one day

I am originally from NJ and I travel for work. I get stuffed shells or ziti about everywhere I go and I could not believe how good the food was here. I got the ziti for lunch last week and was lucky enough to enjoy it for dinner this week also! I would definitely say this was the best ziti i've tried thus far. The service is amazing and efficient. Worth the try! It will soon be your new go to Italian in Orlando/Winter Park.

Coming from NY, its very hard to find a tasty pizza place in Florida. Paradiso is legit! We had pepperoni pizza. The dough was great and didn't taste like Florida water, which was great. A nice crisp crust was there. There wasn't too much grease which was great. I am just very excited that it didn't taste bad. I've tried a couple of different pizzerias and I've been disappointed. This was good pepperoni pizza!

Been ordering here for years and never disappoints. Good pizza, decent priced, nice people.

False advertising! I just called at 9:22 PM to place a delivery order. Under the "specials" section of the website, #3 states, "2 Large Cheese Pizzas, 10 Wings for $31.99, For extra topping $2.00 each topping." I proceeded to place the order when the female on the phone said the price is $33.99, not $31.99 due to a chicken wing shortage. I said, well you did not change your website so you should charge me what the website says. She then went on to say they have not changed the website yet, they are letting customers know when they place the order, and it might be a temporary change in price. She was not willing to budge, so I decided not to place the order. I have ordered from and eaten at local restaurants throughout the entire pandemic, but I will not support a restaurant that falsely advertises their prices. That is ethics 101 and business 101. Pizza Paradiso has now lost a customer over $2.00.

everyone there was friendly & had smiles on their faces. Food & service were excellent! We started with the onion rings, you could tell they were homemade. The pizza is the best we have ever had in Orlando/Kisssimmee area. I took home a lunch portion of spaghetti & meatballs with meat sauce, and it is also excellent & homemade this is not sauce from a can/jar. We will be going back. Stephanie was so friendly & nice, if you get a chance to check them out I would highly recommend them for lunch or dinner.

Its not always fair to review a restaurant on only one visit. This review is based on one visit and eating only the pizza. Pizza was pretty good, sauce and cheese tasted good, and there was no flop to the slice. The service was very good and the place was clean. It was a little hard to fine at first but when you get there it is sitting behind a Chevron Gas Station in a small strip mall.

Always the best pizza NY Style from our friends at Pizza Paradiso. Been going many years here. Always consistent with the whole menu.

Easily my favorite pizza spot in Orlando! Everyone should give it a try! The prices are fair and the owner is always kind to me. I can tell he really loves his restaurant. No matter what you get you'll be sure to want more!

How can this place have 3 years of awards from the Orlando Sentinel and so few reviews? As many reviews have mentioned the service is super friendly. I stopped in and ordered a large pepperoni to go and they had it to me in about 10 minutes. The price was great too. TIP - Grab a menu from the counter as there are some coupons inside that might work for your order. This is New York style pizza...thin thin thin. I enjoyed it as it had a great fresh taste. I can't say I preferred it over Lazy Moon but they are close to my house so it's a good option. I did notice about an hour after that they must use more salt than I am used to because I just could not get enough to drink. That is why I don't order with Pizza Chain Stores and this was not near as bad but I am a little salt sensitive and this was slightly pushing the limit. That being said I still would go back and have their pizza again. I am curious to try the garlic knots everyone is raving about in the reviews and perhaps some of the sandwiches that look pretty tasty too. Go check this place out and if you do...give them a review... there are too few reviews here for such a great place.

I was beyond disappointed. I dont know if they got brought off and have new management but pizza was thin n burnt. The cheese was limited . I kw we r in a pandemic n supplies are limited but u dt go out to eat crunchy burnt pizza. They took so long to get disappointed. I didnt eat it but my kids were starving. So they ate it.

Love their pizza. This rest. is clean. Customer service is quick to take your order & serve you. The special at this time was 2 slices & a drink for $5.25. It is very much affordable. I will be back!

Can't believe I overlooked this place so close to me for so long. I've tried quite a few pizza spots in Central Florida recently, and very rare anything impresses me much & sets itself apart from the same old mediocrity. Well that was not the case after trying Pizza Paradiso last weekend. The standard 2 slices & a drink special you get at most places seems to be almost always during lunch, well apparently it's all day long here. I was treated very friendly & attentive here, and much to my suprise was brought out 2 big slices, that had enough sauce that you could ACTUALLY taste it, and it was very generous with the toppings. The crust was a perfect lightly crispy cracker like texture that I enjoyed. Definitely a step above the norm & I will be coming back here for sure Great quality, value & friendly service. Can't go wrong. It's no mystery why they won the multiple Orlando Sentinel food awards that are displayed on their wall

THE BEST calzone and baked ziti I've had in a HOT MIN, if you want some really good pizza they way they all should be, this is where you need too come. We decided too dine in, GREAT DECISION, and Stephanie took really great care of us. She's a superb server! 5 out of 5!

Always awesome been going here since they opened a few years ago. Great pizza and the subs and dinners are real good. Service is always great

Best New York style pizza in town. Very friendly staff. The phones kept on ringing nonstop of people ordering while I was eating. They use the best ingredients, therefore the pizza is delicious!!!

Had a calzone tonight for the 1st time. The large can feed 3 or 4 easy. Crispy outside, delicious quality ingredients on the inside. NOT greasy at all. Brushed in top with that lovely garlic butter......mmmmm, garlic butter! The cheese is the freshy freshest. I love that it's a very nice family place.

Consistently well made delicious pizza. Love the garlic bread that comes with the salads too. It's hard to find a place like this. These guys know their pizza.

Really really really impressed with this place. Ordered delivery and everything was fantastic. We recently moved here from NY (NY name dropping I know, I know) and while we had absolutely mind blowing pizza in NY ; every once in a while we'd end up disappointed- especially with Sicilian slices. Paradiso exceeded expectations in every way, we ordered a Sicilian slice, a small meatball pizza, side salad (comes with a few garlic buns) and mozz sticks, and everything was Absolutely delicious! The Sicilian was wonderfully yeasty, had that super cronchy crust, and the slice was HUGE! I preferred the Sicilian to the thin crust but that's just because it's so hard to find a great Sicilian slice, ESPECIALLY in Orlando. Try this spot, get the Sicilian and don't skip the mozz sticks! But I have a feeling you can't go wrong with anything here. This is definitely our new go to pizza spot... oh and did I mention everything we ordered was under 25$? That included tax and delivery fees :)

Awful customer service don't even try, the girl on the phone is super disrespectful. I don't waste my money for someone treat me so bad yezzzz is pizza

Ordered a large pizza for delivery last night. They are the best pizza in their area, hands down! They are now in my top 3 for all of Orlando. It was done correctly. All the flavors of the pie were there and simply put. Nothing too fancy or too much. Just perfect amount of sauce, cheese and the crust was fresh. Everything was on point. I will definitely order from here from often when I'm in the area. I have read reviews of bad service, I can't comment on that, I ordered delivery. The kid who delivered the pizza was very polite and appreciative of his tip. Thank you!

I have not been disappointed yet. I always try something different either pizza or sandwich. Even the desserts are good. The crust is always cooked perfect. I love NY style.

Honestly wasn't expecting much idk why? Maybe cuz of the random location? But this place is literally so good!!! And the people who were working were so nice. 10/10 would recommend

This place is awesome! Pizza is awesome and the prices are even better. Love the two slices and a drink special. It's fast cheap and the slices are huge! Extra toppings are cheap and they hook it up. If your not into pizza they also have great pastas and the best wings!

Love this spot, me and my boyfriends favorite pizza place! The staff is always friendly & pizza is always fresh. So glad it's only a few minutes from my house. Love this spot!

Today was my first time to visit this establishment. The place is nice and the people are very friendly. The veal parm subs were outstanding. I had purchased them from another NY pizza place and they burnt the bread every time. The bread was nice and crunchy but not burnt. There was plenty of filling in the sandwich including plenty of cheese. They do not scrimp on any of the items for this sub. The food was nice and hot when it came out. Couldnt ask for anything better. There was plenty of the sandwich too. I would definitely recomment and return to this place very soon.

I'm from NY. I'm a pizza snob. I don't like pizza that's not from NY. Right now, I'm eating the closest to NY pizza, that I have had in FL. It's not perfect - I asked for "well-done", but got "medium-well"... It's ok. The people and delivery guy are nice. It's a bit of a wait sometimes. But, worth the wait. I won't give five stars, unless you make my head flip upside-down. Oh, their Cannoli is INCREDIBLE. But, a bit overpriced. The pastas dishes are very good - not perfect, but good - and large portions. I recommend. ;) p.s. Make the crust just a LITTLE thinner. It would be so much better. And lower the Cannoli price - I would order more, of both. ;)

LIT. ERALLY. My favorite pizza place of all time. It is so good. And my dad used to work here back in the day so that's cool too lol! But seriously, their food is amazing. I usually always get a pizza, garlic knots, wings, salad and cheesecake with chocolate syrup! (Yes my family has a big appetite) if you haven't been here, you're seriously missing out. And it's family owned so you're supporting a small business!! #win

This place does not disappoint ever. Their pizza is a phenomenal New York style and when you ask for extra cheese, boy do you get it. Other meals are presented with a warm garlic bread that is to die for! Italian style entrees that remind me of Home with satisfying large portions so that you can have some for dinner the next day. Highly recommend! Even the sauce with the garlic knots is addicting!

Very good pizza nice and crispy none of that soggy chewy stuff very clean establishment Very fast service recommend 100%

At the new location on 436 Pizza was good service was poor slow inattentive with no customers Chicken wings were cold Garlic knots HMM bread balls. Been there twice first time owner was there and it was good service. I guess when the cats away. I suggest going elsewhere if dinning in.

Really average. Super greasy pizza with flavorless cheese. I would have given it two stars, but the first time my husband and I came here I remember the pizza tasting better than this. It was really disappointing today. Maybe they just had a rough day. I had the lunch special which had a slice of supreme pizza (their pizza of the day) and a side salad. Their supreme pizza was soggy because of the thick, greasy cheese and the mushrooms were sliced way too big. The pieces overwhelmed the pizza for sure. You literally could not pick up the slice without it sagging or falling apart. Also, the side salad was pretty sad looking. I could make a better one in my sleep. Overall I wasn't impressed. I don't think my husband and I will be back again.

Pleased with the service but Pizza Paradiso needs to step up their flavor. I found my pineapple and cheese pizza to be bland and the sauce to be thin and tasteless. I hate writing negative reviews but I felt this was needed.

Two years later and this place is still a weekly stop for us. I upped their stars because I've tried more of the food and enjoy it all. Also, their customer service rocks! I'm somewhat a regular and I love talking to the family that runs this place every time I come in.

This is hands down my favorite pizza place in Orlando!! I always for for the meat extreme, however everything I've tried has been great. Consistancy, speedy, and delicious! Love love love this place!

This is my favorite pizza place of all time. Great service and even better pizza! Whenever I am on that side of town I make a quick stop and it's always worth it.

I order here all the time I love the pizza garlic bread and the wings!! I wish they had lemon pepper wings or more flavors but it's ok ....everything is soo good there I'm am never disappointed

I LOVE LOVE LOVE their pizza...BUT I had the WORST experience ever tonight!!!! They said the delivery would take 45 minutes and after and hour and a half no one had delivered the pizza. When I called to check on the status of the delivery, the rude girl on the phone said that she would "track my order" and it would be here soon. No apology and a TON of attitude!! She said that it was in one of the delivery cars and would be here in 30 minutes (which would now make it 2 hours after I ordered it). When I said I was afraid it would be cold by the time it got here, that's when she told me that it was STILL at the store and was still in the oven so she flat out lied. When I asked to speak to a manager, I got more attitude and was told to call back at 8am. I will NEVER order delivery from them again!!!! For a customer who sings their praises, I am NOT happy!!!!!
