The staff is attentive and super friendly. We ordered a 12inch Paradiso pizza with tomato sauce, pepperoni, basil and pork sausage. It was crispy yet doughy. Would I come running back anytime soon? Probably not. It was good but didn't knock my socks off and I wish they had pineapple available. Don't come at me!

Whenever I'm in Dupont and craving pizza, Paradiso immediately comes to mind. I love the veggie pizza (the Siciliana) and the gluten free crust option if my dinner pals need it. Always a friendly welcome from staff & quick service - happy this place exists and thrives!

Came here as a recommendation from a friend and it was a good call. Cute spot in D.C., I really enjoyed the music! The server was really friendly and helped us pick items on the menu! The salad was tasty and perfect to go with the pizza. The garlic knots were just okay and felt boring. The pizza was cheesy, flavorful and well made. I will definitely be back!

Visited this restaurant because it was voted by Yelp! as a top 100 Pizza place. I walked in around 7ish on a Sunday eve and was immediately seated upon arrival. I appreciated that the host/my waiter asked me if I wanted to sit at the bar or sit in the dining room. I ordered the Sangria, Paradiso Wing for starters, the Miniera Pizza as my entree, and finished with the Bourbon Brown Butter Bread Pudding. With almost every selection I made, my server had a suggestion; which again I truly appreciated. For the wings, he suggested I get them well done. SO glad I did because I couldn't imagine how they would've been not baked well done. They are baked, so if you're looking g for the crispy crunchy skin. These wings are not that, even when cooked well done. The homemade buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing were tasty. I also added a few shakes of the Parmesan cheese that was on my table. The pizza was delicious just wish the sauce wasn't as acidic and it had a more sauce. I ordered the Miniera Pizza which allowed you to add up to three toppings. I chose mushrooms, onions, and ricotta. All toppings were fresh and didn't taste like they came out of a can or the freezer section. Now, on to the dessert. I was already eyeing that Bourbon Brown Butter Bread Pudding and when my waiter suggested it, I was sold. That bread pudding, CHEFS KISS. I initially was going to order it to go, but when my waiter said it would be packed up and cold (he suggested I warm it in a skillet when I got it home), I decided to eat it warm at the restaurant, again so glad I did. The dessert came out hot and was more of a deconstructed bread pudding which made it delectable because all pieces had caramelized edges. The bread pudding was topped with whipped cream which I mixed into the bread pudding, taking it to the next level. Overall, I had a wonderful dining experience and I hope you do the same. Cheers to a great time!

Service is great, food is pretty good. The 20% service charge is a deal-breaker for me, though

On a lazy Sunday morning my friends and I explored the Dupont Farmers Market. After browsing and having coffee, we were getting hungry so I took a look at nearby places through my beer app. Pizza Paradiso popped up with a killer tap list, so I mentioned it to my friends and they said it's one of their favorite spots! There was also the Georgetown location nearby, but they said even though it's larger, it's usually much busier with tourists in the area.It had a welcoming vibe with outdoor seating in the warm months, but on that day we sat inside. Right away I could tell it was a beer-centric place with posters supporting local breweries and homebrew competitions. It's a cozy place with small tables for couples or small groups; but there was one larger party going on and they seemed excited to be there.We were seated below the Belgian beer cabinet, which would make some friends drool if they saw what was available. I opted for draft, which had a ton of great local beers, and ordered a flight of four. We each ordered a different pizza and ended up swapping slices; each one was delicious in its own way. I had the chicken wing game day special with chicken, blue cheese, and julienned carrots and celery - all the toppings were fresh and crispy.While we were waiting for our food, I went to explore and look at the beer fridges behind the bar. The bartender was pouring my flight and we starting talking about their homebrew competition sponsorship; she told me last year's winner was currently on tap having been produced by a local professional brewery after the win. She poured me a free glass to try, it tasted even better with the story. After the flight I also ordered a can of a seemingly ubiquitous DC beer, which was also good. We didn't feel in any kind of hurry here, just leisurely enjoying some of my favorite things in life: beer, pizza, and friends.

The 9 inch pizza was so filling and delicious. If you go during happy hour then the appetizer player is also worth indulging in. The drinks were delicious and well worth it. I would come back again and try the bigger pizzas. The service was excellent and the gratuity is already included in the check. Ambiance was super cute

Not a place I would go back to. The pizza was not worth the calories. I am used to NY good brick oven pizza and thought this would be a hidden gem in DC but I was wrong. Did not compare at all to what I would consider a delicious pizza. It was good and I am sure many would really enjoy it but just fell flat for me. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service was great. Pricing was pretty high in myOpinion too.

A barstool 7.9 for sure. The sausage is so unique, and the staff is super friendly! Happened to end up here because Duffy's was packed to the gills. Glad we did.
