New Pizza Restaurant Up and Running in Arlington

Have you tried Paisano's yet? It's a new pizza restaurant that recently opened in Arlington.

Fouad Qreitem, a Fairfax County native, has run a successful Italian pizza restaurant and carryout business for nearly 14 years. Late last month, he opened an Italian pizza restaurant in Arlington.

The newest location opened on Monday, May 19 at 2201 Pershing Drive in Arlington. The dining room offers seating for 40 or you can order take-out or delivery. 

The Paisano’s Pizza Arlington location will mainly serve the areas of Ballston, Courthouse, Rosslyn and Clarendon.

For service to those areas, online orders can be placed at http://www.paisanospizza.com. The restaurant phone number is (703) 528-1000.

In addition to pizza, Paisano’s also serves salads, subs, Italian entrees and an assortment of desserts.

Qreitem, who grew up in the restaurant business, opened his first Paisano’s Pizza in the Fair Lakes shopping center when he was 23. Since then, Paisano’s has expanded to 23 stores by adding multiple company-owned locations as well as franchises.
