Pizzeria Paradiso, Dupont Circle - Washington, DC

We opened Pizzeria Paradiso so we could make the kind of pizza we longed for but couldn’t find in the DC area; the kind of pizza where the crust was the most important part.

We started with a wood-burning, domed, stone oven able to cook at a temperature of 650 degrees and developed a dough that would respond to our oven the way we dreamed.

The menu is supplemented by an extensive, ever-changing beer and wine list.
