Paradise Park Restaurant Review:



About the restaurant & décor: Now here's a space that's Instagram-ready, with its mismatched patio furniture, lawn pieces, floral canopies, glistening walls, and a camper parked near the entrance. Socially savvy diners who also happen to love the outdoors hit up this pizza patio, an easy spot to day drink on weekends or catch the game with a few craft brews.

Likes: If you're a social butterfly, Paradise is bursting with Insta-worthy nooks, lawn ornaments, heck, even a camper.
Dislikes: Great summertime hang. Lots of real estate devoted to the patio, so TBD on how it will fare in the winter.

Food & Drinks: The sister to Happy Camper and Homeslice riffs off flavors from its other restaurants, sticking to casual fare. Pizza, also available in gluten-free and whole wheat versions, is the main theme. Veggie, meat and chicken options boast cheeky names, from Strike a Posner (Roma, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan and pesto base) to Smoke Show (blackened chicken, jalapeños, cream cheese and chili flakes). Appetizers are standard bar food, including a flavor-packed (but dainty) potato skins offering and pulled pork nachos. Calzones, salads and soups complete the menu. The laidback atmosphere lends itself to drinking good ole' Midwestern brews, but wine and specialty cocktails are available, too.
