Ordered the Tartufina because, unfortunately, I have expensive taste. And, it tasted amazing. It’s rare to find a place that makes food with truffle without overdoing it. Ordered the large peri peri fries on the side and was beyond happy with the portion size, as well as the customer service. Food was made quickly and with a smile will definitely be coming again

BRILLIANT! This pizza seriously tickled my tastebuds. From the crust to the succulent pepperonis, everything was on point, just the way I expected from this authentic Italian restaurant. The service is fantastic, I feel completely at home when I enter the store. The staff are so kind and welcoming. Please if you are new to this pizza place, continue to come back as the service and quality of food will simply never change! I love paesinos!!! When you walk in and all the other customers are speaking Italian you know you found the right place!!!

One of the best Italian pizzas in Reading town centre. The pizza was delicious and not too heavy, and I would definitely recommend it.

My son treated myself and my husband to a lunchtime special here. The pizza was freshly cooked and absolutely delicious! The pizza was light and flavoursome along with the perfect fries and we finished off with a creamy tiramisu. All in all a perfect lunch with polite service. We're glad we were introduced to this very unassuming pizzeria. Thank you:)

Found this little place right next to a Nepalese Momo shop on a busy street. It’s taken me some time to write this review until I had tried others to compare and ensure I wasn’t being too harsh. Really nice people but only three very small tables. I sat at one with a coke and my spicy veggie pizza came out very quickly. I chose that because this was a Halal joint so pork products are non grata. The crust was scorched as well as the undercarriage but overall I found it wet in the middle (yes, I know what Neapolitan style is) and the veggies not cooked. Cheese was stringy enough with good flavour but could not say the same for the crust, kinda bland. Good tomato sauce & cheese. No proper knife and fork so although I like messy food, this time I was unenthusiastically/unsuccessfully trying to roll wet dough and ingredients to get them in my cakehole. The tiny customer area was fine until the delivery drivers started showing up and standing over me. I get that food biz needs delivery but I find this an awful intrusion when so close. Maybe they should be delivery and takeaway only or at least ask the drivers to wait outside? So this time my experience didn’t hit right and I suspect things are improved when the food hits your coffee table in a box. Shame because the staff were lovely.

I had such a fantastic experience at Paesinos Italian Pizzeria in Reading! The pizza was absolutely amazing,authentic, fresh, and full of flavour, easily one of the best I’ve had. You can really tell they put care and passion into what they serve. The customer service was just as impressive. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the whole visit even better. The gentleman serving us went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. If you’re looking for real Italian pizza with a warm, personal touch, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We stopped here for lunch after reading the reviews and decided to give it a try — and we were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived, Giuseppe provided amazing customer service, taking the time to talk us through the pizzas and dishes on offer. Everything is made fresh and full of flavour; the pizzas come straight out of the oven and the dough is absolutely perfect. A definite must-try if you’re looking for authentic, high-quality pizza.
