Trade author Nick Levine, who’s native to the eating place, advised Eater London that Pizza Paradiso was once similar to Franco Manca on the subject of value and high quality, that it targets to get the £6-10 pizzas out inside 10 mins of ordering.
Branding-wise, it unquestionably turns out to have followed a late-capitalist, pseudo-indie sublime — with black branding, commercial fittings, Tolix chairs, and pin-board menus pitching it someplace between Bleecker, Burger and Beer, and Soho Space Workforce’s rooster retail outlets. A slogan on the base of the menu at the wall reads: “Welcome to Paradiso town the place the grass is inexperienced and pizza is lovely.” Gained’t any person please take us house and save us from the dystopia?
