Clean and not a bad place for downtown Reading. Always a large selection of pizza slices. Hot and cold sandwiches with the freshest rolls anywhere in Berks County. Hot spaghetti, wings, french fries. I could eat here 3x a day.😁

Pizza was actually very good, garlic knots were good also, place needs a facelift though. You cant get specials insides store to eat in which was a little disappointing, otherwise great pizza.

We needed a quick bite before a show at the nearby arena and decided to try this local restaurant. The most impressive part of our experience was the attention paid to us by our hostess! She was welcoming and pleasant, told us about the menu items, and even let me create my own signature burger ?. The food is freshly made and tasty. The fries were cooked perfectly, and the hamburgers were a good size. The bathroom was clean. We will definitely be back!
