“Wow. What a great experience! This place is a real gem. Coming from New York and Philadelphia we have experienced excellent Italian for years. After relocating here a few years back and trying many restaurants in the area this is by far the best Italian we have had in the DMV. Lucy is an amazing chef and host and their menu and specialities are some of the best we have experienced. So excited to have this as a dinner option downtown. We will be back soon!!“

I also had a chicken parm sub that was fantastic. Haven’t tried the cold subs yet but there’s always tomorrow hah. The location is great on the bend of District Ave looking out down the street and they smartly installed a retractable front wall that can be opened for open air on nice days/evenings (or if Covid decides to play some more games here in the future). Also some select patio seating which is nice as well!“

“They do buffalo chicken pizza right! Buffalo Sauce, Pizza Cheese, (CRISPY) Buffalo Chicken, Gorgonzola Cheese and Red Onions. -->All other ways of doing buffalo chicken pizza are incorrect! Most pizza places just use hot sauce and grilled chicken, which is boring. So, kudos to Paisano's for doing it the right way!

Their hot buffalo wings are probably the best local pizza take-out wings in the DMV. You will be very pleasantly surprised!

Their regular pepperoni pizza with just red sauce, cheese, and pepperoni is above average. It is nowhere near the best pizza in the area, but you absolutely won't be disappointed if you order it either. ... but based on the delicious buffalo chicken pizza and wings, I'm giving them 5/5!“
