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.

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.
