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.

Review: Antonio’s Trattoria
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.

stuffed pizza topped with sausage and peppers from Mama's Pizza in Wyomissing

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.

Review: P&J Pizza
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.

Review: Russo’s Food Market
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.

Review: Sal’s Pizza Style

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.

The Bagel Bar
Kutztown

While I love a good bagel, I love the Bagel Bar for their unique drink specials, especially their tea lattes made with freshly brewed tea. But the bagels and bagel sandwiches are a hit, too, if you’re looking for a reasonably priced breakfast or lunch.

Brakeman’s Cafe
Boyertown

Located across from the Colebrookdale Railroad in Boyertown, Brakeman’s Cafe is one of the best breakfast and lunch spots in the area. The outdoor seating area overlooks the rail yard and is the perfect place to relax on nice days.

Cafe Folino
Wyomissing

Opened in fall 2023, Cafe Folino has quickly become a popular spot for Italian coffee, along with creative breakfast and lunch items. We recommend the sweet pancakes/French toast options like apple pie and bananas Foster.

Review: Cafe Folino

Comb Coffee Co
Topton

One of the newest stops on the list, Comb Coffee Co. opened in October. The coffee shop vibe is a little different here as Comb is an outdoor, walk-up stand in a parking lot in Topton, but the drinks are great, and the outdoor seating area is perfect for sunny days. 

Crave Cafe gets my vote, partially because of the cool ambiance

Crave Cafe
Sinking Spring

Now under new ownership, Crave Cafe continues to deliver quality meals and drinks to western Berks County. Breakfast and lunch sandwiches are always good, the display case is always full of delicious baked goods, and the coffee and drinks are priced right.

Probably the most unique location among our favorite coffee shops, Kim’s Cafe is a destination on its own inside the Weaver’s Orchard farm store. Every August, I visit for their peach pie chai. They also serve up breakfast treats and delicious paninis at lunch.

The Market Cafe
Topton

Located in the former train station, The Market Cafe is a laid-back breakfast and lunch spot along the tracks in Topton. The lunch wraps are really good, as are the breakfast options and wide selection of drinks.

Simply BOLD
West Reading

When Simply BOLD first opened, it was located in Wyomissing and called Park Road Cafe. Even then, it was one of my favorite spots. The food menu is good, but limited. But there are plenty of options for hot and cold pick-me-ups. They also have a small boutique with unique and local goods to browse while you wait.

30+ Places to Enjoy Ice Cream in Berks County 2025

Life is sweeter with ice cream. And in Berks County, you’ll find plenty of ice cream parlors, sweet shops, and restaurants serving everyone’s favorite dessert. Some are open seasonally, some are slinging cones year-round, but here is a list of more than 30 places to get ice cream in Berks County:

Reading

Franklyn’s Breakfast, Burgers, Shakes
1007 Penn Street

If you haven’t had one of Franklyn’s shakes, you’re missing out. The small diner along Penn Street has great meals at breakfast, lunch and dinner, but make sure to save room for one of 16 flavors of shakes, including strawberry banana, passion fruit, and mocha coffee.

Pennside Drive-In

Longacre’s Modern Dairy
1445 PA-100

You can find Longacre’s ice cream in local stores, especially in eastern Berks County, but you can also visit their home base in Barto. It’s a small scoop shop and diner that also has tubs to go. Longacre’s ice cream is somehow a little creamier than others – a great treat on a hot summer day.

Bernville

Plum Creek Farm Market & Creamery
5035 Bernville Road

Plum Creek has become one of our favorites, especially since they expanded the creamery in 2020. The homemade soft serve flavors rotate seasonally, and we especially love the snickerdoodle in winter and peach in the summer.

Way-Har Farms

Growing up in Western Berks County, Way-Har is the first I can remember trying. Stop by their shop and pick up containers to-go or enjoy a fresh seasonal sundae with their homemade ice cream.

Nuse’s Deli
3160 Main Street

More than a deli, Nuse’s in Morgantown is also a dessert destination. They’re serving ice cream cones, dishes, and sundaes, but the real stars are the specialty milkshakes.

Muhlenberg

K&L Dairy
2934 N. 5th Street Highway

Robesonia

Lori’s Candy Station
21 West Penn Avenue

This one is personal because Lori is my mom, and I dipped more ice cream cones here than I can count. My favorite things are custom milkshakes. Order one with half strawberry, half death by chocolate for the best chocolate-covered strawberry you’ve ever tasted. Or get a shake with vanilla ice cream and mango ice. It’s better than a Blendini.

10 Favorite Places for Breakfast in Berks County

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. In Berks County, it may also be the best meal. Area restaurants are serving up both traditional and inventive meals to start the day, and we’ve tried a lot of them. Here are our favorite breakfasts in Berks County. 

pancakes and hash browns in styrofoam containers

Andy Pepper’s
Limekiln

One of our favorite places for breakfast and lunch, Andy Pepper’s never disappoints. The restaurant tucked away in the former Limekiln Post Office near Oley has a lot of delicious options for breakfast, but we’re partial to their oversized pancakes.

Annamarie’s on Main
Birdsboro

The original Annamarie’s in Royersford is known for its breakfasts, and Annamarie’s Birdsboro location, which opened a few years ago, delivers in that department as well. I highly recommend the lemon ricotta blueberry poppy seed pancakes, but there are lots of great options to choose from.

Beansie’s Cafe
Food Truck

One of my favorite breakfasts in Berks County doesn’t come from a restaurant or coffee shop, it comes from a truck. In addition to an excellent chai, Beansie’s serves a sausage and egg bowl that has me standing outside the truck any time they have a public event. I also love their polenta topped with bananas Foster, and my son is crazy about their mini pancake dippers.

Hawaiian bread French toast with breakfast potatoes

Brooks Cafe
Douglassville

One of our favorite spots in eastern Berks County, Brooks Cafe is a little hole-in-the-wall with big flavors at breakfast. Treat yourself to the Hawaiian bread French toast and thank us later.

Cafe Folino
Wyomissing

Cafe Folino, an Italian coffee shop from the owners of Mangia in Mohnton, has quickly become one of our favorites since it opened in late 2023. The breakfasts are amazing: apple pie French toast, croissant breakfast sandwiches, pumpkin roll pancakes – I could go on and on.

Cloud 9 Cafe
Wyomissing

Cloud 9 Cafe isn’t the fanciest place on this list, but they have great service and consistently good food. (And because it’s not far from my house, it’s an easy go-to). Everything on the menu is good, just make sure you get a side of homefries.

Exeter Family Restaurant
Exeter Township

Exeter Family Restaurant is Berks County’s quintessential diner. They have great options, both sweet and savory. I love a good skillet, but it’s hard to pass up their creative French toasts.

Fresh
West Reading

Upscale breakfast and brunch is what Fresh promises, and they deliver on that promise. From short rib tostadas to breakfast bowls combining seasonal ingredients, everything is a winner at Fresh.

Plum Creek Farm
Bernville

Plum Creek Farm is most known for their ice cream, but since they’ve added breakfast to the menu, it’s been on my short list. Their breakfast burrito is the best around (the chipotle sauce puts it over the top). The breakfast Bernville Special, potatoes topped with eggs, cheese sauce, bacon and hollandaise is another favorite in our family.

Taste of Crepes
West Reading

As the name suggests, Taste of Crepes is all about crepes – both sweet and savory. I prefer things on the sweet side. Might I suggest the bananas Foster crepe?
