Pizzeria Paradiso - Calumet-Norvelt

Extremely underwhelmed by the portion and flavor of the food. Literally the crust tasted like inflated saltine crackers and the cheese was so thin with no age or body to it and I couldn't tell if there was tomato sauce or not because it was barely there.No flavor. Also the cost was $17 for a hand pie. Literally the size of my hand for so much money. They automatically add gratuity whether you dine in or out.The reason for the food rating though is because service was excellent. Fast greeting, knowledgeable, professional. Not overly friendly but they got the job done.The place itself is cozy. There's a bar and several tables as well as a front seating area for takeout.I won't be back but this is my honest review.

Pizza was good. But almost all pizza is. Not worth going out of your way for. Crust was bland and too crunchy, sauce lacked depth in flavor. $80 for two 12 pies, a meatball app, and a diet coke. Service was friendly and good. DC's got a lot of great food but this would ping mediocre anywhere.

Pizza was uninspiring. Salad needed a lot more flavor, felt like greens thrown in a bowl with a hint of dressing (and I like light dressing).

Loved it, had a pannino, was great. Place has an outstanding beer menu and is very kid friendly.

Great little place......loved it with its great selection of beer and wine to wash down their gorgeous pizzas.
