The second location of Pizzeria Paradiso is perhaps three times larger than the original, has an up-front liquor bar, two dining rooms, and a downstairs private room called Birreria Paradiso---yet finding seating is just as much of a challenge. There's something potent about the PP appeal: first-rate toppings, terrific pizza dough, a sophisticated nonchalance, and daring desserts. After starting with a basket of freshly made panini, good bread when dunked into olive oil and sprinkled with grated Parmesan, a special, seasonal salad may include asparagus and wild mushrooms. As for pizza, a special pie may be dressed with ricotta and thinly sliced red onions. Too much bread may nix desserts, but think ahead to the chocolate salami, a nut-studded chocolate roll.
