EaterJanuary 23, 2013On Georgetown's M Street, Pizzeria Paradiso is a best bet for its Neapolitan-style pie plus dedication to beer in the form of the 16-tap basement birreria. [Eater 38 Member]
Mariana BernasconiMay 18, 2013Gluten free pizza is decent! Not celiac friendly as it is baked in the same oven as regular pizza but those with an intolerance will be fine and enjoy a brick oven baked pie! Yum!
dawn.in.newyorkSeptember 19, 2024Savory and strong flavor Italian pizza in Georgetown. The salad with goat cheese was a great start. Di Mare is quite spicy and Bosco is perfect for veggie person.
The Brew NoobAugust 10, 2015Eat a pizza upstairs for dinner, then visit the beer bar downstairs for a truly outstanding selection of craft, import, and specialty beer that's worth a visit for any beer drinker!- Peter BlumbergAugust 14, 2017You really can't go wrong with any of the pizzas - try mixing it up with a classic (Atomica) and an offbeat option (Bottarga). Beer list is second to none and the sangrias are great too.
Vanessa PlainAugust 5, 2018Really friendly and helpful staff - and great food. Suitable for family groups and a good tip is to wait in the Games Room downstairs if there’s a wait.- I designed my own pizza with the option of full-grain crust. The pizza was really good, only a bit burned at the bottom. The environment is nice, with a separate bar section.
- MK McKenzieNovember 25, 2014It seems a bit crowded upstairs but the downstairs bar is awesome. Intimate setting, way too many beers to choose from! Not complaining. Atomica pizza is my favorite.
Brent GatewoodJuly 12, 2018Can’t believe I haven’t left a tip here. Great pizza, good beer selection. Must stop in Georgetown.
Carlos R.March 19, 2015Ask for a half and half, it's the top way to experience one of the best pizzas I've ever had!
- Sri Uma AisvaryaNovember 1, 2021Pizza is yum, well made not so thick crusts. The menu here needs to be updated. I liked the bruschetta and black widow (blueberry cider) drink.
Washington PostAugust 1, 2014One of the coolest beer bars around, with a tight, often esoteric list of 16 drafts and 80 bottles to go with the gourmet pizza. Read more
Kimberly A.April 24, 2013If you sit at the bar, ask for D.C (aka David) he's an incredible bartender - looks out for you and makes sure you are enjoying what you order. He'll fix it if you're not!
Tim FAugust 16, 2015Great beer list...although I was more impressed with their bottles list than what they have on tap. 12" pizzas are about right for two people.
Kyle R.August 13, 2014My favorite pizza place in DC! The Quattro frommagi is second to none. Also, their beer list is excellent!
Serious EatsApril 23, 2014Solid Neapolitan style pizzas, but worth considering for its beer list alone.
The beer selection is pretty good, and the downstairs has a great vibe. Like dive-bar-meets-craft-beer vibe.
Chafeeza BainJuly 14, 2013We had the Sicilian pizza ! The 12" is enough for three , honestly ! If you love veggies this is the pizza for YOU !!!
Stephanie GarrisonMarch 19, 2011Beer flights are the way to go - for $11, you get four 5 oz. beers from their draft list. It proved to be a great way to branch out!
- gautam singhNovember 1, 2013I have been here once and I still think about coming back here years later. The pizza is very enjoyable.
Chris KonecnyFebruary 3, 2016Family friendly, inventive pizzas. Good beer except they serve them in small glasses
- Sri Uma AisvaryaNovember 1, 202112" pizza plus a starter and a drink each was very filling and came to about 65$ including a decent tip.
Eduardo FontesDecember 8, 2012All is good. 2 drawbacks: 1 - don't take Amex; 2 - wine served on "pint" glass...
Juniet Diaz-ReutlingerJanuary 30, 2011Pizza is amazing. We had the Paradiso with prosciutto and roasted garlic and it was amazing! My husband loved the beer sampler.- Jared SOctober 5, 2011Great pizza. Definitely make your own with the Paradiso. Water was hard to come by. Try the beer sampler.
PizzaSnobo pizzasnobo.comFebruary 9, 2011They use sweet chopped tomatoes instead of sauce, but the ingredients are top notch and they have a great beer list. For more reviews check out www.pizzasnobo.com.
Carol SormilicApril 21, 2013Staff is very friendly, but after waiting 60 mins for a table disappointed in the food mainly due to the lack of flavor. Salad was okay but the description and anticipation of flavor was a let down.
JohnJune 20, 2012Downstairs looks like someone's basement but it is surprisingly homey and quaint. And of course you can't argue with the food.
Nicole ThompsonMarch 3, 2012Get a table downstairs by the fireplace and enjoy the awesome beer selection!
Now OwlSeptember 14, 2010The pizza Genovese with potato, pesto and parmesan is delightful on its own. Adding prosciutto puts it over the top.

We opened Pizzeria Paradiso so we could make the kind of pizza where the crust was the most important part. We started with a wood-burning oven. We also wanted our guests to feel like they were being treated to the comfort of home, so we placed the oven at the heart of the restaurant.

"If you want a quiet(er) spot, try the lovely little outside deck (although it can be quite crowded with young families). The upstairs, a fairly new addition, is wonderful!"
