Pizza wasn't so great, was too thin & crunchy for my liking. They did add a good amount of toppings and made it as requested. I just did not enjoy it. Service was friendly, ordered pick up thru the phone. Was ready by the time I got there and was convenient at check out. There was some places to sit if you wanted. A stick on the door that they were the best of Reading in 2016 There is plenty of parking. read more

Great food, good service and perfect Ambiance! a must try location in the town of Reading!

The food used to be fresher with previous owners. Not the same friendly service. The calzones are good as well as the pizza but quality of ingredients have taken a hit. Ambiance is about the same but the previous owner made it feel more like home. read more

Kind of disappointed with this takeout. The Greek salad was fresh however the steak tips were ordered *well done* and served up quite *rare*. The "Golden BBQ chicken rice bowl" contained three pieces of breaded chicken cutlets with a very very sweet sauce served over a bed of mushy over cooked rice. read more

Being from NY I am pretty particular about my pizza. I will say that the crust was perfect! The closest I have ever come to NY pizza around here. However, it was way over packed with different cheeses. Margarita is best with fresh mozzarella, sauce, and basil. The tomato slices made it soggy and the extra cheese (parmesan?) made the pizza oily and gritty. I will come back but order plain cheese next time! We also got the citrus chipotle BBQ wings, which were very tasty. It all came with a free salad, which was lovely! read more

Once again, Colombo's didn't disappoint! BEST pizza around! Fresh ingredients, rich flavor, light airy and crispy crust all make for the best pizza ever. Run don't walk to come get your slice. Screw that! Get a whole pie! Owner takes true pride in his food and it shows. Service is always nice and friendly. Place is always clean and comfortable. You WILL NOT be disappointed. read more

Have alway been consistent with the quality. Can't be upset about a consistently good meal

Don't know why we keep trying this place. The pizza was not cooked enough and had grease dripping everywhere. The calzone is soggy and the steak and cheese tastes like a dirty foot. We couldn't eat the calzone it was so gross tasting. Never again. read more

Really great pizza shop. Clean atmosphere inside and a lot of options to choose from. Got a chicken bomb calzone and fried dough for dessert. Absolutely exquisite, highly recommend! read more

I put their pizza right up there with Angelo's in Stoneham. The large pizza is huge, the dough tastes fresh, very good sauce. Excellent pizza and the best we have found in Reading. read more

BBQ Chicken Pizza I ordered this bbq chicken pizza in hope id find enjoyment, but found the complete opposite...discomfort! Yes there are a couple of slices gone. That is only because i wanted to really grasp how horrible this pizza really was. At first glance i thought it was a joke like a couple of my close pals were yakin my string. Oh how I was wrong. I was just served a soupy bbq chicken pizza from the one and only Colombo. Rather upset would like a refund read more

I got ordered from here two weeks ago, and it was ok. The crust was not crispy and the taste was just ok. I was not planning on ordering from here again, but I was in a pinch and this was my only option, so I ordered it today. Today... it was so good. The crust was thin and crispy and very tasty. I don't know who made the pizza today, but they should always be making it and teaching everyone else how to make it. I enjoyed every single bite. Also, I got the fried dough and it was really good as well. I enjoyed every bite of both of the items I purchased. I'll be ordering from you again! read more

Recently ordered a Buffalo chicken salad from here and it was perfection. I own a local small business nearby and I'm so excited to have a nice lunch option right around the corner. My order was missing utensils and they were so nice and quick to come back with some. read more

Love the pizza! We've been loyal pizza customers here for 10 years. Haven't tried much else on the menu, but this is our fav pizza place in town. read more

I ordered Stuffed Shells with meat sauce for 11 dollars and what I received from Colombo's was appalling. I fished through the large container I was given to find 4 shells and the rest was meat, oily sauce, melted cheese and a majority of ricotta that was supposed to be inside the shells. I have never gone back to a restaurant with a walk out order but this warranted the drive. To be fair, the man behind the register looked at what I had brought back after I finished the shells, and profusely apologized, which I appreciated. I did receive my money back, but even so, the quality of this food for the people that order it out had to be reviewed. So disappointing. Looks like I need a new spot for Italian food. read more

This place had really gone down hill about four years ago, so my family and I stopped going. Today I decided to give them another try, and it was the worst decision I've made today. First of all, it took over an hour to be delivered. At 3pm on a weekday, I doubt they are that busy. Second of all, the pizza was a disaster. The driver had clearly placed my salad and fries on top of it, the box was visibly crushed, the cheese was stuck to the top of the box, and it had slid off the pizza (he must have been driving awful!). He clearly knew he screwed up by the way he rushed up the stairs didn't even say hi and ran away too quickly for me to say "why is this pizza box crushed?". But even if the box wasn't crushed, the pizza was barely cooked and would have sucked anyway. Very disappointed, for a $13 cheese pizza I expect WAY better than this. I won't make the mistake again, these guys just lost their chance at redeeming themselves. If you want a good pizza check out any other of the ten places in town, don't waste your money here. ** Owner did contact me and refunded for the pizza. Good customer service. read more

Decided to order on a Wednesday night since we just moved to the area. Order a large Margherita pizza for pickup and was ready in about 10 minutes. It was incredibly heavy with their regular cheese blend and the mozzarella (which was pretty tough) and sliced tomatoes. The crust was saturated with grease and we ended up not finishing it. I may try it again at some point with a lighter pizza. read more

Favorite place in the Readings. Great prices for great portions and the food is amazing! The customer service is excellent as well. I've ordered lots of times here now and I love this place. read more

Wanted to try this place since it had good reviews but I would definitely advise against the delivery for it. We ordered delivery from here and I was not impressed. I was happy because I didn't pay for it and it was on the boss, but man... I ordered the eggplant and mozzarella panini. Did not get a panini like I expected - definitely not hot pressed or anything. It was soggy in a baguette type bread like a hot sandwich. The eggplant was doused in oil and breadcrumbs so it didn't taste too great. I ended up adding my own pickles to the sandwich to make it taste a little better. I tried my friends fries too that came with her burger, and they were salty, fat and also soggy. Her burger also looked like it was some sort of frozen thing... so yeah definitely not impressed. Another coworker got the calzones, which are huge, but I still wasn't very impressed with the flavor. read more

Seriously?! I order a meatball parm and I get 3/4th of a sandwich?! This is pathetic. read more

We've been looking for a new pizza place and I came across Colombo's online. Decided to give it a try for delivery and boy are we disappointed. I got a white pizza and hubby got a cold sub. My pizza had absolutely zero flavor and the chicken was like rubber, it was like eating cardboard with garlic on it. There wasn't enough meat in my husband's sub to fill him up so he's still hungry, which is pathetic! If you're looking for a new place, don't try this one, it was truly awful. read more

I love this place. A large gives you huge slices, the sauce is flavorful and delicious. The only downside is the vegetable pizza gets soggy so next time I'll stick with a cheese pizza. I got home bbq wings which were to die for. I order delivery so I can report that I always get my food hot. I live in Wakefield, and though they are 2 cities over they deliver.... read more

I *love* the pizza at Columbo's, it's some of the best pizza I've had since I moved to Massachusetts from NYC. I've contemplated driving from Somerville to Reading just for this pizza. A large pie really is *large* there :). The salads are also very fresh and tasty. Columbo's is also really good at filling large orders, so I order from them whenever I need pizza for a large group at the library. The shop itself is tiny, not so great for large groups. However, it's nice and cozy to suit a small (3-4 person) group or a casual date. Depending on what you get, you can eat for as little as $2-$5, but dinners and such would be closer to $10+ w/tax. read more

Friendly service, top quality, reasonable prices, these are all things that describe Colombo's. I just moved back to Reading from Southern California. The pizza offerings in that region mainly consisted of chain restaurant crap like "Papa Johns"...yuck. So, yes the Winter weather sucks, but with great food at Colombo's it makes living here more bearable. The pizza is New York style thin crust, and is delicious. They are always generous with the ingredients and the sauce is delicious. If you are a fan of cheese, ask for extra as they do go a little light on that key ingredient. I highly recommend their calzones as well. The small size is easily enough to feed 3 people, and comes in at under $12. I have tried a few other local establishments, and Colombo's easily comes in on top! Try it soon, you won't be disappointed. read more

The Italian in me needed to be feed.... After reading all the great reviews of this place on yelp, I determined it was time to take action and see for myself. Plus I was very hungry. This location is very tiny but quaint. The lunch crowd was small but considering it was election day and plus a gorgeous day too. It probably wasn't a good day to judge. The prices are right and the portions are huge. I went with the cheese lasgna which was so big if it fell from outer space it would have destroyed my car. Ok maybe not that big but the size matched the price. The food was hot and tasty. Big thanks to all those yelpers out there. You know who you are! read more

Coming from NYC, I had an opportunity to enjoy some delicious pizzas. I searched awhile in the Boston region for something of that caliber and I believe I found it. I have been coming to this place for over a year now and have never had a bad meal. They stick to a typical pizza menu that you can find anywhere. Their execution however is what makes this pizzeria really stand out. Both their pizzas and calzones are loaded with flavor and you can tell this is prepared and cooked by someone who knows what a proper balance of ingredients should be. Traditional ingredients but with a punch of flavor packed in each bite. Appetizers are very good, prices are more then fair, and the 'zas are always outstanding. I am very glad to have this small restaurant in our community. Quick and delicious every time. read more

We've been looking for our go-to place for pizza since moving to Reading a month ago. We're still looking. Now, granted, I'm not a big fan of what I consider New York style pizza (big, flat, and greasy), so this just may not have been the place for me... It was definitely big, but the cheese had a bright sheen of oil and the crust really didn't taste like much. I think that's really it... I need a good crust. Something substantial... something that says, "You just ate something worthwhile and personal", not "I'm the wimpy leftover edge of the pizza." Anyway, I'm probably being overly harsh, but it's most likely because this isn't my kind of pizza. read more

I drive by this place everyday after work to get home. I'm glad that I gave this place a try tonight. I ordered a triple bypass (double 1/2lb burger). When I called in my order, I asked for an extra side order of fries, but the person who took my order told me that the burger comes with quite a lot of fries. Thank god I listened to him because the box was stuffed with fries. They had to tape the lid down! The burger was big and juicy! The fries were perfectly seasoned. I need to go back and discover more of their menu. read more

I moved to Reading a month and a half ago, and drive by this place a lot on my way home. It's fairly unassuming from the outside, so I probably never would've given it a shot. I mean, pizza places are dime-a-dozen in the burbs. So, after reading Yelp reviews, I stopped in a couple nights ago. I really couldn't have been happier with the pizza. A large lasted my wife and I two meals, and I'm the kind of guy that likes to eat. It had a ton of toppings, and wasn't the usually greasy Greek pizza you get at most places. I'm not going to say it was the best pizza I've ever had, but it was near the top. In terms of Mom and Pop local establishments in New England, though, this place is definitely worth a shot. read more

Once again, I have to say 'thanks' to the yelpers out there that guided me to this place. I've shopped at Atlantic (just around the corner) for years, but I'd never set foot in Colombo's until yesterday. I had lunch with colleagues and we all agreed it was a good take. The Vero was good (as Jessica mentioned), the chicken parm was out of this world and the bruschetta was tasty, but it could have had a bit more melted cheese on the top. I'll definitely be back! ps... I did go back... the next day... with my wife and kids! Great service and eats on a cold rainy day. Yum! read more

Ordered takeout on a Friday night. Communication with Colombo's was fantastic and delivery was faster than expected. The pizza was delicious- crust was perfectly crispy with just the right amount of chewiness. The Greek salad was a great size and veggies were fresh! Solid quality. Will order from here again. read more

Terrible pizza. Been there many times before never had a worst pizza. Barely cooked , cheese barely melted. Called to complain, they offered another pizza. Already ate the undercooked one didn't need another. read more

Incredibly Delicious Italian Pizza! This was my first visit at the restaurant and I received a warm and friendly greeting from Art one of the co-owners who shared with me that they make the best "Italian Style Pizza" and went on to tell me that they make and prepare all their own Dough, Sauce and "special" Cheese combination fresh daily. Being somewhat of a "Pizza Connoisseur" I had to see if it was as good as he made it sound. Let me confirm that Art is indeed a man of his word and their Pizza exceeded my already high expectations that I was anticipating. Delicious Dough cooked to perfection, tasty sauce with just the right seasoning and perhaps the best-tasting cheese I've had on a Pizza... Highly recommend! As Arnold is famous for saying... "I'll Be Back!" read more

I came here for dinner with some friends, and it was really good. It's nothing fancy, but the food is good. I had chicken, broccoli, ziti, and it was tasty. We all shared bruschetta, which was also good. It was a little chilly inside though. Prices are reasonable. read more
