Michelangelo’s Pizzeria, 500 Penn Ave., West Reading, Jan. 10: 10 violations. The Person in Charge did not demonstrate adequate control of food safety in this food facility as evidenced by this non-compliant inspection. Time in lieu of temperature being used as a control for potentially hazardous foods (pizza pies), but the facility does not have written documentation to verify food is discarded within 4 hours. There is still a build-up of food residue and other debris on surfaces throughout the facility (floor under/around equipment in both the front and back areas, including in the walk-in cooler). A utility sink or curbed cleaning facility with a floor drain is not provided in the food facility. The mop sink has been removed from the closet in the restroom. Several floor tiles in the back area are cracked and are no longer easily cleanable. The outer door located in the restroom of the food facility has a gap at the bottom and does not protect against the entry of pests. Paper towel dispenser empty at the handwash sink in the restroom. The handwash sink in the back area still does not have single use towels, continuous towels, or air-drying device.Food facility inspection still indicates evidence of rodent/insect activity in the back area around the dough mixer, under equipment, and along the wall of the walk-in cooler. Rodent droppings were observed in this area.A live cockroach was observed near the walk-in cooler, as well as others stuck to glue boards.Facility has proof that a pest control company did provide service. The frequency of service may need to be increased. Mops are still not being hung to air dry. Observed a mop stored in a bucket of dirty water. A working container of cleaner was stored next to the slicer and an in-use box of plastic wrap on a food preparation table in the back area. Out of compliance.

The spaghetti was over cooked. The sauce didn't have a good taste and the sausage was dry. It crumbled as you ate it.Sorry but coming back for me is not an option.

Came in because I saw they have specials today on pasta. Asked for crab ravioli which they are no longer serving and haven’t removed from the menu yet. That was fine. So I ordered fettuccine alfredo instead. They were waiting for a deliver to make the sauce so I said I’d wait for my food. When I got home and tried the pasta, it tasted okay at first then had this gnarly after taste. It did not taste good. Had someone else try it and they said the same thing. Used way too much cheese/sauce. They also must have used a weird tasting cheese or something because I’ve never had fettuccine Alfredo that tasted like this. Looks more like soup than pasta. I waited a few hours and reheated it, added seasonings and the aftertaste is still not great. The service I received was fine, but the food is not anything I would try again. Unfortunately, this was the first and last time I’ll probably eat here. Wish it was a better experience. I had to throw most of it away because it wasn’t edible to me. A waste of money :( Also just looked at my receipt and wasn’t charged the special price which was $11.99? I was charged the regular price which was $14.79 with tax. Do not waste your time. I’m probably going to be sick from this food now.

Horrible, horrible pizza…. Don’t get the Sicilian pizza, it’s trash…no flavor, little cheese, too much thick bread. I’ve had good Sicilian pizza before and this ain’t it. I wasted $15 on trash, I wouldn’t feed my dog this
Ordered a simple cheesesteak and fries. 45 minutes later, they had no idea where my order was. They found it, someone put in a "to go" bag. They pulled it out of the bag, dumped on a paper plate, and served it. Now, you can imagine it was dry and cold, and not good. In Fact, it had to compete for the worst steak sandwich I've ever had. Dry, hard roll, hardly any cheese, no sauce whatsoever. Fries were mostly cold too. They were very busy, but the staff was poorly trained, and no idea what was going on. To many places in the area to ever try this place again.

The older reviews are for a different business with different owners. The new owner is kind, knowledgeable and boldly advertised "Vegan Pizza Now Available!" on their storefront. The pizza is good, we got vegan sausage crumbles, bell pepper, onion & black olives. Super thankful for another option here for us in Wyomissing/West Reading.

We stopped by here on a Monday afternoon, and were VERY happy we did. My son had the cheese pizza, and I had the penne. Both dishes were fantastic. We shared a salad, and it too was excellent. The ingredients were fresh, and everything tasted so delicious. The service was great. They were nice and accommodating, and answered my many questions. Would definitely come back next time I am in the area. Great experience all around.

Really good food!!! I have passed this place a number of time and never gone in, but today I decided to stop in and try it! I got the BBQ chicken cheesesteak and my mom got the Turkey Club sandwich. Both were a really good size and came with a side of house made chips. We also got a specialty slice of chicken bacon ranch pizza. Good pizza, but I let it get cold while eating my other sandwich lol. The service was great too! The chef took our order and was very kind and thorough. A server came out and checked on us throughout the meal even though the place had more of a casual vibe. If you're in the west reading area, I highly recommend checking this place out for a pizza or a hoagie!

Very good food! The wrap is delicious I got the bacon chicken ranch wrap and was told the cheesesteak is similar to Geno’s!!!
