A few days ago, a couple of my friends and I decided to take
a trip to Georgetown. The primary purpose of this trip was to go shopping and
check out the famous and much hyped Georgetown Cupcake. But little did I know
that the highlight of my trip may have just been this pizzeria called Pizzeria
Paradiso. Nested on the bustling Pennsylvania Ave is a nice pizzeria that seemed
to draw large crowds. I didn’t think much of this restaurant when I walked past
and glanced at the menu. However, just before I past the restaurant, I happened
to glance at a customer’s freshly served pizza, and at the moment I was hooked.
I had to go check this place out. We
went in, put our name on the waitlist and then in about 10 or so minutes we
were taken downstairs to this seating area. The overall atmosphere of this
restaurant was very rustic, with a prevalent bar/pub theme throughout. It
seemed like I was in a wine cellar that happened to serve great brick oven
pizza.
Now the pizza at this restaurant was the real show. From
being cooked in a huge brick oven, to utilizing fresh ingredients, the pizza
was delicious, crispy, and so fulfilling.
We ordered two pizzas: The Atomica, which featured tomato, salami, black
olives, hot pepper flakes, and fresh mozzarella; and the Margherita which
featured tomato, basil, and mozzarella. Both of these pizzas were very good and
I will definitely have to try them again.
So overall, if you are ever in the Georgetown area and are
looking for some fresh and delicious brick oven pizza, be sure to check out
Pizzeria Paradiso. I will be returning to Paradiso, hungry for more!
