Pizzeria Paradiso

Where to start - this place is amazing. You will not find a legitimate pizzeria anywhere else in Georgetown like Paradiso Pizza. Food is authentic Italian. Any of their pizzas are delicious, and I recommend the antipasta platter with meats, cheeses, and their incredible bread. Most people do not know that the downstairs is a "biererria" with a bar serving high end domestic and imported beers that you will not find at the local liquor stores. Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons from 5 - 7 pm is happy hour downstairs, with half off all draft menu beers. Great option for group dinners or happy hour.

Pizzeria Paradiso...

I have had the opportunity to eat here several times over the years. Every time I've been I have found the food to be consistent in that it is *fairly* satisfying.

Paradiso is definitely overpriced. If you go there for dinner you'll probably be lined up for a 15 - 30 min. wait.

The pizza they serve is spun as 'gourmet' - you can get things like prosciutto and mussels as toppings. It is good pizza - and maybe my tastes have just been watered down by American fast food style pizza - but it hasn't ever satisfied me. They serve thinly sliced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. I have to have tomato sauce.

It would be a great place for a special occasion in a small group (birthday?), but not ideal for a date.
