“ We recently dined at Papa Gee, and I must say it was a delightful experience. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the Napolitan pizza, which I can confidently say is the best in Reading! The perfect blend of flavors and that authentic Italian taste made it an unforgettable dining experience. The restaurant's ambiance and attentive staff only added to the overall charm. I can't wait to go back and savor more of their delicious offerings! Highly recommended. ”
“ This is the Home of the Best Pizza in Reading! If it is good food and a great atmosphere you are looking for this is the place! The staff are friendly and attentive and, although the Restaurant is a bit on the small side this makes it cosy. They have a good Wine list to go with their food. I have taken friends and family members here and they have all had a really lovely meal. Give it a try, this Italian restaurant is fantastic! ”

“ If you want an authentic pizza, this is the best pizza restaurant to go. The best garlic bread I've ever tasted! A real italian pizza and the taste is amazing! Desserts are excellent too, not too sweet for chocolate. Excellent service and lovely ambiance. Less option for vegans but they have gluten free options for pastas ”

“ Delicious food (highly recommend trying the 'surprise' pizza). Really great service and relaxed atmosphere. ”
“ Such a lovely place. The interior is cosy, the service is super friendly, and the food was incredible! We had the antipasto misto and polpette to start, with some homebaked sourdough which was warm and fluffy and gorgeous. The main was the calabresse pizza, topped with burratta. Can highly recommend! ”
