Papa Gee in Reading

We went for dinner with friends. The food was amazing , and the service great .the only think i didn't like it was so busy and only one server, he needed help .but lovely place to eat .

Had a really excellent meal here as a couple and everyone was really friendly. Really happy that we came upon papa gee. Thank you !

5* pizza 🍕 Can't go wrong with the pizza here

A nice, family run restaurant with great food. Only downside was the noise from other customers nearby. Recommended (if you have earplugs!)

Me and my best friends had a lovely experience here, the staff were lovely, the food was delivered very quickly and it was delicious. Will definitely be returning soon x

Very welcoming with lovely food. Very accommodating to groups too.

Delicious pizza Will definitely be back Highly recommended Thank you

Great pizza and friendly staff - highly recommended

Very authentic pizza , this place is run by family so highly recommend

Top pizza from a great menu with pasta, risotto and Secondi options. The side salad and Spritzers were generous and great. The Nonna's were lovely. Nice vibe.

We had a small family birthday celebration here last week - the restaurant is very welcoming, perfect service, the food and drinks were excellent - really good portion sizes with quality ingredients at a good price, we all enjoyed ourselves. If you love really good authentic pizza this is the place to go to - I haven’t eaten such good pizza for years despite a trip to Rome last year, just fabulous. 💯 recommend, and looking forward to a return visit and another margherita pizza 😋

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

Without doubt, or favourite pizza restaurant serving neapolitan pizza, rather than the American style pizza which we did not really like

This is our favourite local Italian - cosy atmosphere and the food is flawless, so tasty

Great home cooked meals and service for our daughter's 12th birthday. Thanks Papa Gee. We also had a member of the group that has a severe peanut allergy. They took that in their stride. No issues.

Excellent food and great service. Food cooked from scratch. Really looked after us as group of 14

Best Italian pizza in UK! Environment very typical and friendly! Great service great people!

Pretty mediocre, especially the main course. The cooking was off and overcooked. Not sure the waiting staff were that bothered although they attended ok. Shame as previously I would rate this place quite well. Something mot coming together in the kitchen?

Our go to Italian restaurant in Reading. Everything they do is good and very consistent. Awesome pizzas and prawns. Others have been and gone but Papa Gee and Pepe Sale are the dons.

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. 🍕🇮🇹

One of the worst carbonara I have ever eaten. I was excited to see that it had no cream on the menu, which is how carbonara is supposed to be. However, there was a swimming pool of raw yolk (uncooked, not a creamy sauce containing egg yolk), almost no pepper, and a bitter taste that I didn't recognise. The cotoletta had a tomato sauce on top of it (not sure why) that made it soggy. The tomato sauce was ok though. They asked the table next to us if they liked the food, but they did not ask us. Probably because we didn't look like we liked the food. On the bill, they added two desserts that we didn't have and we had to ask to take them away.

Excellent pizza with amazing staff!

To me, the best Italian in town :) WAIT!! What am I saying?! BEST ITALIAN IN THE COUNTRY!!!! seriously guys, this is the place for pizza and pasta. Believe me!

Fantastic food, but grumpy Mama Gee when asking for separate receipt when in a group

Our first choice for a meal out with our toddler when the doors opened. It’s comfortable, smells delicious, tastes delicious and indgredients are fresh. It really felt family run and relaxed. we enjoyed the atmosphere of that combination. I reccomend the ice cream!

Very friendly, great service and wonderful food. Our favourite local Italian restaurant 😋

Very authentic Italian food. The food is definitely good.

Molto Bene! the food was fantastic, the service,... well after a bit of a chat I felt like I was part of the family! Extremely friendly in and well worth a visit

Huge starters, great pizza and Gelato. Service was lovely and with a smile. Would recommend!!

Great atmosphere, and superb food

Top food, too service and reasonably priced. It’s a must!

I keep going back! The best pizza with flavoursome light dough as well as a range of other options that you do not normally find on the menu. Everything is cooked fresh & they are very happy to adjust ingredients to suit your taste.

Really lovely small authentic italian restaurant. The food is really good and reminds me of Italy. Highly recommend.

Great place for a pizza. Wine was great

We are regulars at Papa Gees and the food is always great, with superb service! It has a great homely feel that gave us a lot of respite whilst redoing our kitchen for many months. We will continue to go as often as possible!

Excellent friendly service and delicious food. Pizza, calzone and pasta all eaten up. Definitely go again.

What a wonderful place! Everyone was very welcoming and friendly and the food was absolutely fantastic! We celebrated our son's birthday at Papa Gee and apparently it was the best dinner ever. :)

Lovely menu, good food, one person serving so could have been better service. Small restaurant

Small business excellent food made with passion and flavour

Lovely food and hospitality. Booking recommended. And they even warned us about parking!

Our favourite place for birthday celebrations. Always a very warm welcome and the food is always delicious!

Best Italian in Reading!! The staff were lovely, very attentive, and the food was absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend, such a cosy atmosphere too!

A little piece of Italy serving very authentic pizza with a warm welcome. Worth finding this place for some of the best Italian style pizza anywhere.

Great place for real Italian pizza

AMAZING. Lovely, great quality food with a good atmosphere. First time visiting this restaurant but we will definitely be returning. The staff were also very friendly.

Excellent family run Italian restaurant. Pizzas are particularly good .

Great staff and pizza! Good also the mains

One of the best Italian places in Reading! I come here with my family and we reminisce about our Amalfi Coast holiday :) We fell in love with the Naples-style pizza, and this is one of the best places outside of Italy for it!

Good food and friendly service. Fairly busy with a nice buzz.

Great feashly made pizza, great service. My daughter and I really enjoyed it..

Being an Italian living in reading its difficult to find authentic and tasty pizza, but Papà Gee's is by far one of the best places you can find, eating in the restaurant or delivered to your front door, the food its to die for and always amazing, If you want a taste of authentic Italian food, look no further !!

The best pizza in Reading. Staff is amazing and the food is top quality!!!

What a lovely restaurant. The staff were very attentive and couldn't do enough for us. The pizza and starters were very enjoyable 😋

Small and intimate with tasty and authentic Italian cuisine

One of the best pizza's I've ever had!

Lovely family run restaurant and take away. Highly recommend

FSA rating 4/5 as of 29/06/2019.

Absolutely fantastic meal last night at Papa Gee's in Caversham! The flavours were authentic and the dishes were executed flawlessly. The guanciale in the Carbonara was a specific highlight...so crispy yet melting in your mouth. I loved the Carbonara, and I though it was a nice touch that you could order it the traditional way, with an egg yolk, or you could order it with cream for those intolerant of eggs. This was my first visit, but it surely won't be my last.

Great little place, super tasty food and happy great service

Very friendly service, lovely food and will visit again

Fabulous food, service and welcoming from friends from the past. First time but definitely not the last

Gorgeous food, great friendly service and welcoming atmosphere.

Really good pizza and the team working there is fantastic. Highly recommended!!

Honestly the best Italian food I've had outside of Italy. A proper hidden gem. Make sure you book though!

Last night 05/03/2022 our family group of four ate at Papa Gee restaurant. The food was freshly cooked good size portions impeccable service. Will definitely be making a return visit in the near future. Would recommend making a reservation first.

Amazing Italian. Well done. Will be back alot!

Best Italian outside of Italy I’ve had hands down. Lovely hard working owners and food done the proper Italian way.

Simply, the best pizza in Reading area. Great customer service from the lovely staff! They really make you feel at home. Highly recommended

Really great little restaurant with authentic Italian food, made on site. Friendly staff and allowed us to take doggy bags home when our eyes proved bigger than our bellies 😂 food arrived quickly, and was reasonably priced. Restaurant is in central a Caversham and easy to find.

Such incredible pizza here. Incredible. Great service also, always feels very welcoming and comfortable.

Fantastic family run independent Italian restaurant. We always receive great service and fabulous food. Highly recommended

This was our 3rd trip to Papa Gees, but the first with friends. We were not disappointed. Very homely family restaurant, reasonably priced food just like mama used to make.

Amazing sourdough pizza! We had the Marinara with extra veggies #veganfriendly

This place is amazing. We went to have a pizza, in my opinion the best in Reading. It was really nice. Service was nice, they served quick. We had dessert as well, my friend said that the tiramisu wasn’t the best but it was fine. I will definitely come back to try more plates!

Today I have ordered pizza order 8650 , I'm really disappointed because when open it there was hole under pizza and un cooked with hair in it suggest u to never do delivery it in is better

This is an authentic Italian (Neapolitan) restaurant/pizzeria. Cozy, lovey and family run, which makes it even more special. Way far from the fake italian food, commonly served in the most famous chains. On top of the delicious food, the staff is amazing and friendly. We had the pleasure to meet the lovely Odette, that made our dinner even more special. ♥️

Best pizza in Reading hands down

Great food, good wine and friendly service.

Really tasty pizza, wine and dessert at a very reasonable price. Also had a nice atmosphere.

Best quality Italian food for Reading

All ways a great experience, wonderful authentic Italian cuisine, service first class with friendly helpful staff will go back and have many times.

Seriously one of the best Italian restaurants. The pizzas are so delicious.

Hands down my favourite restaurant experience. From the moment you walk in and are greeted by the friendly staff, to the great wine on offer, and most importantly, the delicious range of Italian food, I love this place! I have never had a bad meal here and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic, great, Italian restaurant in Caversham. Thank you Papa and co!

Very delicious. Definitely I will come back here again. Highly recommended

Very friendly and helpful staff here. Nice food enjoy visiting this restaurant. Also very nice to get deliveroo from.

We went there for a weekday dinner. Food looked good and the pizza was nice, but we found a funny taste in the fresh mozzarella. Service was quick and gentle. However, once we arrived back home, we became violently sick and developed d+v for the following 24h. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Great food, good menu selection.

Delicious pizza & generous pasta, friendly atmosphere and prompt service. Recommended!!

Without a doubt the best pizza of Reading. Don't waste your time going anywhere else.

Lovely service and pleasant 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!

Wonderfully authentic Italian restaurant with delicious pastas that come in big portions!

Great food, friendly atmosphere and excellent service.

Very good pizza , many times I've ordered ,I was very thankful 🥰🥰 exactly how I wish to be . Good prices, friendly staff .

Great pizza - good choice of toppings and great Neapolitan-style base.

At Last ! After this second period of 'lockdown' Jean & I get to our favourite Italian Restaurant for a superb meal of their usual great quality in the authentic atmosphere we remember from our many trips to Italy. Usual great service from the friendly staff with tables well spread out for COID. A wonderful evening out together and a welcome respite from the current miserable weather. Thank you Papa Gee !

The Halloween pizza was spoooooky 🎃👻 great combination of flavours on your most delicious sourdough base 😋

Great service and amazing food. Would recommend

Just came away from an amazing birthday dinner with my girlfriend. Italian food is my absolute favourite and this place delivered in everyway possible. The starters and mains were brilliant and the service was just as good. Definitely will be going back and looking forward to it.

Pizza very similar to the Italian one. I'll be back
