Washington, DC
Veloce means ‘fast’ in Italian. When Pizza Paradiso owner Ruth Gresser decided to expand and open a quick-serve pizza concept, she hired Gronning Architects to design a space that expedites the pizza process, from order to customer, with a target time of 5 minutes.
Bright yellow and white counters and mild steel paneling surround the central open kitchen and showcase the tiled Mazza Forni pizza oven. The 1,400 sqft space features custom tables and millwork with seating for 35, including an exterior patio.
