Nestled in the vibrant heart of Stratford lies a culinary gem cherished by locals and visitors alike – Paradise Pizza. Since its inception in 1969, this family-owned establishment has been a cornerstone of the community, serving up delectable Italian and Greek cuisine with a touch of Mediterranean flair.

Founded by the Tsichlas family, whose Greek heritage infuses every aspect of the restaurant, Paradise Pizza has remained steadfast in its commitment to quality and authenticity for over five decades. From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with the warmth of family tradition and the aroma of freshly baked pizza dough.


What sets Paradise Pizza apart is its dedication to innovation while staying true to its roots.

Among them, the cheeseburger pizza stands out as a town favorite, marrying the flavors of a classic American staple with the beloved Italian pie.


But Paradise Pizza is more than just its mouthwatering menu. It's an experience. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite to-go, unwinding with a cold beverage at the bar, or settling into the cozy dining room with friends and family, every visit feels like coming home.


Step inside, and you'll find yourself enveloped in an atmosphere that's both lively and inviting. The friendly chatter of patrons mixes with the sizzle of pizzas baking in the oven, creating a symphony of sounds that sets the stage for a memorable dining experience.


The success of Paradise Pizza isn't just about its food; it's about the sense of community it fosters. It's a place where neighbors gather to catch up over slices of piping hot pizza, where celebrations are marked with hearty feasts, and where newcomers are welcomed with open arms.


As you sit back and savor each bite, you can't help but feel grateful for the timeless institution that is Paradise Pizza. It's more than just a restaurant; it's a cherished tradition that continues to bring joy to generations of patrons.


So whether you're a longtime resident or just passing through, be sure to make a stop at Paradise Pizza. Your taste buds will thank you, and you'll leave with memories that will last a lifetime.
