Pizzeria Paradiso has become an institution for wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizza and craft beer in the Washington DC area since 1991. Owned and operated by chef Ruth Gresser, this DC classic is best known for its delectable crust, fresh ingredients, and passion for quality customer service.
Tony Strowd Hamilton has been with Pizzeria Paradiso for over 13 years, progressing from Server all the way to becoming the General Manager of first the Hyattsville, MD location, followed by the Spring Valley location.
In his tenure with the company, he has worked at all current 4 locations, starting in Dupont Circle, then helping at the Georgetown location, followed by the grand opening of the Hyattsville MD location, and finally opening the newest Spring Valley location in 2018.
Tony also has a background in theater. He earned a degree in Dramatic Arts from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has been pursuing theater and acting while working with Pizzeria Paradiso. He is also a frequent performer at the Virginia Renaissance Fair.
When we asked about his career at Pizzeria Paradiso and what set it apart from other restaurants in the area, Tony shared that "the care and consideration that Pizzeria Paradiso has for its staff, as well as the community at large" is one of reasons it has become a DC mainstay.
