8 Great Places to Get Pizza in Berks

In more than a decade of Berks County Eats, we have tried some of the best pizza in Reading and Berks. While there are still plenty more to go, here are eight of our favorite places to get pizza in Berks.

10 West
Wernersville

10 West had big shoes to fill taking over the former A&M Pizza in Wernersville. Other restaurants had tried and failed, but 10 West became one of our favorites after our first visit in 2023. The crusts are crisp and they have a great variety. The grandma pie is excellent, but even their plain and pepperoni stand out.

Antonio’s Trattoria
Boyertown

When I visited Antonio’s Trattoria in 2023, they were running a special on a Brooklyn Cob pizza and it was one of the best pizzas I’ve had. It’s not a regular menu item, but they do a great job on all their pies.

Best Pizza: Nonno Alby's

Nonno Alby’s
West Reading

Probably our favorite specialty pies, Nonno Alby’s uses their wood-fired oven to make crisp crusts. And they have some of the best toppings around. The namesake Nonno Alby’s pizza is my go-to. It features San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, Italian sausage, sauteed broccolini (broccoli rabe), and a kick from garlic and red pepper flakes.

Original Mama’s
Wyomissing & Sinking Spring

Mama’s Wyomissing location is the closest pizza place to our house and the place where we get more meals that anywhere else. Jakob loves it, and we really enjoy it, too. The honey ricotta has just the right amount of sweetness, and I love their Boardwalk pie with sweet sauce swirled on. And nothing is more filling than one of their stuffed slices.

P&J Pizza
Womelsdorf

A childhood favorite of mine, P&J Pizza has only gotten better. In 2023 they expanded into the neighboring building to expand their dining room and add a bar. The pizza is great, and it’s hard to beat the atmosphere of a log cabin restaurant.

Russo Market Pizza

Russo’s Food Market
Wyomissing

Another nearby pizza destination, Russo’s Food Market in Wyomissing does square pies with thick crusts. I actually really enjoy the crust, and the rectangular slices are more than enough to satisfy at lunch time.

Sal's Pizza Style Stromboli Pizza

Sal’s Pizza Style
Birdsboro

Sal’s Pizza Style is home to one of the most unique offerings in Berks County, the delicious Stromboli pizza. It’s a traditional Stromboli topped with pepperoni pizza. It’s creative, it’s meaty, and it’s really good.

Tommyboy’s
Kutztown

The largest slices in Berks County are also some of the best. Tommyboy’s slices are “bigger than your head” and require two plates for just one slice. I usually get two slices, knowing that one is enough and I’ll have a second for lunch the next day.
