PIZZERIA PARADISO

124 King St Alexandria, VA, 22314 United States

The original Pizzeria Paradiso, located on the second floor of a small townhouse in Dupont Circle, opened its doors in November 1991. The restaurant received immediate critical acclaim and has since been consistently ranked among the finest restaurants in Washington, DC. This location was upgraded in 2009, and is now located at 2003 P Street. A second location, in historic Georgetown, opened in December 2002. Our third restaurant, located at 124 King St in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, was opened in October, 2010.

After last year’s elections swept a record number of women into office, they’re finally getting some dough. Literally.“ I’m sure there would be many people who would say that there shouldn’t be any politics in pizza,” said chef Ruth Gresser, who owns D.C. mainstay Pizzeria Paradiso. But that hasn’t stopped her from creating a yearlong homage to women who lead.

Each week, all locations of the Neapolitan-style pizza shop will serve pies inspired by states with women in power. This week, for example, diners can try a "New York Super Bowl Pizza" with Buffalo tomato sauce, chicken, light gorgonzola, and fontina ($15 for a 9-inch and $20 for a 12-inch pizza).
