Wood-fired pizzas and extensive craft beer selection
"Pizzeria Paradiso’s brick-oven pies please all kinds of crowds, and the menu boasts an impressive selection of bottled and draft beers. Relax in the dining room, or order directly through the website for pickup or delivery (with pizza kits to build your own pie at home too)." - Tierney Plumb, Missy Frederick, Emily Venezky
"This local haven for wood-fired pizzas and craft beer, founded by chef Ruth Gresser in 1991, offers a long list of 9- or 12-inch pies for indoor/outdoor dining and takeout or delivery. In addition to Georgetown and Dupont Circle, Pizzeria Paradiso boasts outposts sit in Spring Valley and Hyattsville, Maryland." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
"Pizzeria Paradiso’s D.C. locations will pour Pride Palmers made with Tito’s vodka. For every Pride Palmer sold in June, Tito’s Handmade Vodka will donate $1 to Capital Pride Alliance. Plus, the Dupont location will serve a rainbow of six cocktails (one of each color) leading up to Capital Pride, priced from $12-$15 (June 3 to 9). All locations across the DMV will also serve “Alec’s Puerto Rican Pride” pizza designed by an LGBTQ+ employee." - Evan Caplan
"The Kennedy Center has plenty of family-friendly shows, so you’ll need a restaurant that feels inclusive, too. Pizza is always a good idea. Head over to the Georgetown location and pick from a dozen different curated options, build your own personal pie or opt for the larger option. Sit outside, if you’re the type to brave a patio along M St., or just dine in the bright yellow dining room. Toss in an order of hard-fried wings, and you’ve got a solid meal. And if your show is on a Thursday-Saturday after 5pm, there’s also a game room with arcade-style video games, shuffleboard, and darts (admittedly a little less kid-friendly) to pass the time. photo credit: Nina Palazzolo photo credit: Nina Palazzolo photo credit: Nina Palazzolo" - Tristiaña Hinton
"Plan ahead to nip a raging hangover in the bud with Pizzeria Paradiso’s 4 Pork Hangover Pizza Special. Only available on New Year’s Day, the special comes loaded with mozzarella, asiago, pork sausage, salami, pepperoni, and prosciutto atop a base of tomato sauce. The pie is available at all restaurant locations ($16, 9-inch, $23, 12-inch)." - Kalina Newman
