3282 M Street, NW
Sad news shared by the great Pizzeria Paradiso yesterday:
“ANNOUNCEMENT: After 24 incredible years, Pizzeria Paradiso will close its doors on M Street. The final day will be Sunday July 26th, when we will host an open-door farewell celebration—no ticket or reservation required. Ruth Gresser (Founder/Owner) and Carlos Delgado Gonzalez (Managing Partner) will be present at 1pm to offer a complimentary farewell toast for all guests. The farewell celebration will include free slices and salads (while supplies last) as a thank you to the community.
Since opening in 2002, this location has served as a true Georgetown anchor. We have so much to be proud of as we look back on nearly a quarter-century of memories:
– A Culinary Staple: We brought wood-fired pizza and an industry-leading craft beer program to the heart of the neighborhood.
– Unique Spaces: We created community through the beloved Birreria Paradiso downstairs and the Paradiso Game Room.
– Resilience: Together, we outlasted shifting industry trends and survived the immense challenges of a global pandemic.
– Community Impact: Most importantly, we have served generations of Georgetown residents, students, and visitors who made our pizzeria a part of their lives.
The closing is a farewell story. It’s also a celebration story: the celebration of a brand that continues to grow, with new Virginia locations and a future that honors everything Georgetown built. 👏
Thank you for being part of this journey.”
