EAT THIS

It’s that time of year again when the temperatures drop, you finally have to wear socks, and everyone puts pumpkin on their menus. Pizzeria Paradiso is celebrating tonight with 42 draft lines filled with ciders, Oktoberfest, pumpkin, and harvest ales at all three locations (Dupont, Alexandria, and Georgetown). And continuing the tradition of all things pumpkin, there will be a special pizza available with pumpkin pesto, bacon, and parmesan. No reservations needed. Pizzeria Paradiso, eatyourpizza.com.
