Decided to solo date lunch time addition. So I ordered the Surf n turf burger Medium well with the side order of fresh cut fries. The burger was good n juicy and the crab cake on top was made with all crab meat. Tomatoes were sliced well oh and the bun... Wow idk what type of bun it was but it was great. My server Percilla had an amazing personality and was very helpful. Yes I'd eat here again. read more

Average pizza. Very limp and not very crisp. Good ingredients and average crust. Salad was very basic. Service great. Pizza maker just stared at patrons. Looked like a robot making pizza. Price pretty reasonable, but food was average. read more

Best pizza I've ever had. I will return here when I get the chance. Servers were very kind and respectful, and the restaurant itself was clean and beautifully maintained. Wonderful restaurant for anyone in the Berks County/Reading area. read more

Great service, food and drinks. Highly recommend. Truffle pizza was amazing. Wings and salads very good. Love Peroni beer

My husband and I have never had a bad meal there. They have burger Tuesdays with many protein options. There are also a portobello and veggie burger options. read more

So this was my family's first time dining in and we LOVED it! We ordered takeout twice over the pandemic, which was also amazing! We stopped here Sunday after a hike. We were greeted by the friendly staff and chose to sit closer to the bar so the kids could see the pizza oven. Our server was awesome! She was incredibly nice and very attentive to our needs. It was great that she brought our food in rounds (tables aren't huge but we also ordered a lot of food). She went above and beyond to please the kids. We ordered the truffle fries - so good! The sauce on the side is a great addition. We ordered the oil & garlic wings. They were cooked perfectly and LOVED the amount of garlic they threw on there. The Nonno Alby's pizza was SO GOOD! It was a perfect combination of ingredients. The only thing I would suggest is the crust be a bit more done. It was slightly mushy in some spots. The kids loved their pizza and requested we come back soon. Awesome food, great service and excellent prices. We will definitely be back to try some other things on the menu. read more

Great food! Their pizzas are one of a kind. Wings are a must try, especially the honey hot.

Fantastic place with a very comfortable atmosphere. The Pizza was excellent and the Long Hots and Wings with the Nonno BBQ sauce were excellent. Second time there and there definitely will be a third (and more)! read more

Great food! Fresh and amazing. Fun to sit at the bar and watch your pizza made. Service is always wonderful. read more

Of all the places we've tried on Penn Avenue, Nonno Alby's rises to the top---especially now that Delish and their fantastic Cuban sandwich are long gone :( When we arrived for an early dinner on a Saturday night (around 5 p.m.), there were a few customers already seated. We were greeted by our friendly server and taken to a table. Our server took our drink orders. I had a soda while my husband got a Yuengling. The pizzas only come in individual size and are baked in a wood-fired oven. While they have some types of pizza on the menu, it is possible to customize your own. Our server said that if you want to customize, start with the Margherita pizza then add the toppings. My husband got a Diavola pizza which has "fresh hot sausage" and "hot peppers", and our server said was her favorite. I got a Margherita pizza and added capers and sun dried tomatoes. I figured that the pizzas would be plenty of food but my husband really wanted a capresa salad. So...we ordered one. Then we waited...as the kitchen was on the slow side. I understand that the pizzas are made from scratch but wondered what took so long to get the capresa salad. When it came, I found out why. It consists of: "tomatoes, soft buffalo mozzarella cheese served over a warm focaccia, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil". Apparently, the warm focaccia is made fresh. Just as I feared, the capresa salad was huge! The slices of mozzarella were the thickest slices I've ever seen on a capresa! It was a nice, creamy cheese and the tomatoes and basil were in good proportion plus the olive oil was good quality. The focaccia had wonderful garlic flavor. We did enjoy it but it was way too much food for 2 people. My husband really liked his diavola pizza and said it was spicy. The spice from the sausage was plenty enough spice so he removed the hot peppers. While I liked my pizza, I was disappointed that they were stingy with the capers. Plus the sun dried tomatoes were on the bitter side. If I were to order a pizza here again, I would just stick to the basic Margherita. If you go here, I suggest not going if you don't have the time to wait for your food as the kitchen is slow. Otherwise, be prepared for a wait as it is worth it! read more

This place rocks! You can come here for pretty much any occasion. Date nights, family gatherings, special occasions, casual weekday lunch, just-got-out-of-a-bad-breakup-and-need-to-eat-away-your-sorrows, you name it. Pizzas are "personal" size, but unless you are an NFL lineman, you probably won't be able to scarf the whole thing down in one sitting. I think, ideally, you should order one and split it with between yourself and your special someone (in my case, my dog). But leftover cold pizza is one of life's greatest gifts, so there's always that option in the event you eat normal-sized portions for humans. ACTUALLY, I'm pretty sure I could eat a whole pizza here, but during my last visit, I filled up on appetizers. Are there really people out there who can just sit down and wait for their entrees and NOT get apps? The grilled eggplant starter is ooey gooey heaven on a dish. Grilled fresh eggplant, creamy ricotta, fresh herbs, provolone, and plum tomato sauce finished in the wood-fire oven - simply fantastic! It comes out looking like a giant flattened slug on a plate, but looks aside, it's an amazing dish. Chicken wings here are par for the course. Average size, average seasoning, average crispiness - obviously they're not a focal point here. But wing aficionados should be wary. As for the pizza - the pizza de résistance - is the star attraction (I'm the worst with puns. Please don't murder me). Brick ovens offer not only rapid cooking times, but fluffier crust, crispier toppings, and that subtle hint of smokey flavor. That cooking process, mixed with fresh ingredients, is a recipe for success *wink* Moreover, what sets this place apart from other local pizzerias is the fact that it's a sit-down restaurant. While you can still order a pizza to-go, those wanting a more formal dining experience can call for reservations, get a table, and have a server more akin to traditional dining experiences. In fact, the dining room is quite impressive in size, and can seat far more than one would imagine just by looking at the place from outside. And no, it's not cramped. In addition to the numerous tables, there are rows of booths as well. When you have a craving and don't want to settle for the commercial chain pies in town, give this place a go. They don't have the "supreme Papa's deluxe 1,000 meats carnivore triple decker special", but they do have delicious, authentic brick oven pizza. read more

Stopped here for lunch with my daughter. We asked if there were any gluten free options for my daughter. The waitress said yes, and gladly told us all of her options. We sat outside and ordered a couple different items, just to try everything. All the food was great and the service was even better. read more

This place is a staple on Penn Ave. they have a cool, real brick oven and their individual size pizzas are bomb. I usually get a Tartufata or Diavolo. They DO NOT travel well so I recommend heating up a delivery pizza or going on person. I would describe this place as an somewhat upscale/modern Italian place. Mostly pizza but you can get burgers and pasta too. Their Nonno Wings are really good too. They may be the best wings in the area and come in many styles beside Buffalo. I don't drink but they also have a pretty good beer/wine selection for this type of place. read more

The triple smoke burger is one of the best around! The pizzas are always great no matter which one you choose.

Excellent paninis, numerous options. Our table tried three different ones and all three were more than satisfied. Added soup and it was a large bowl and very good. Highly recommend. read more

Moss and his team at Nonno's are top notch. The pizza is always made with fresh ingredients and is the best in the area (if you're looking for wood fired). The Nonno Wings are baked in the oven, so they get a nice smoked char. Outdoor seating is underneath big heaters during COVID, so they're super comfy in these crisp fall nights. read more

I'm in love with the Bianca pizza. The toppings are so fresh and the crust is perfect. My teenage sons loved the Margherita pizza, and we all enjoyed the truffle fries. Would love to visit this restaurant more frequently but we live an hour away. read more

Whenever we go for pizza, we come here to Nonna Alby's! We love their Primavera pizza, and their arugula salad!

I have been coming to this establishment since it's opening a few years ago. One of the best places to get a great pizza, hot and fresh made in the oven. They have a good selection of burgers and appetizers as well! I'm always pleased by the friendly service and staff members. It has such a cool vibe to it and I would recommend it to anybody that is either coming through West Reading or staying for a long time. read more

Every time we've been here the staff has been awesome, very friendly and personable. The food each time was consistently really good, classic cheese burger with bacon was kinda perfect. The grilled chicken salad was huge, full grilled chicken breast, tons of toppings. The salad wasn't an afterthought that sometimes happens, it was carefully thought out. All in all I highly recommend this little spot. The wings are next on my trip, haven't had them but heard they're really good. read more

Who goes to a pizza joint and doesn't order pizza...? Me, for the first time ever. I walked in and smelled burger and the next thing I know I'm sitting there with a Hot and Spicy Burger in front of my face. A wonderful combo of flavors and textures with soft goat cheese and crispy onion rings on a perfectly cooked (charred on the outside, medium rare inside and juice running down my face) burger. I'm not usually a fan of hand cut fries which came with it but these were done properly. The service was super friendly and the price was on point for the area. It may not be fair but I only left one star off because I didn't try the pizza yet. I can't wait to visit again so I can upgrade my review. read more

Nonno Alby's - Hot and Spicy Burger... Done right! - Pizza Near Me - West Reading, Pennsylvania

We ate here on a late Sunday afternoon. I had a hot and spicy burger with a salad and my wife had a pizza. We also had cannolis. All were excellent. Service was very good as well. This is our second visit. Our first visit was just as good. Our favorite Reading restaurant thus far. read more

I've been coming to Nonno Alby's about once a week for the last 3 months while I'm in town for business during the week. Wonderful friendly hometown atmosphere. I've tried multiple pizzas, the Caesar salad, and several burgers and they are are equally delicious. Tuesdays are burger night and it's an amazing deal of a make your own burger with fries or salad for about $13. The wait staff are all great, but Miranda is a true gem-always friendly and attentive with a great customer service attitude. read more

Wish I could give 4.5 stars. The food was EXCELLENT, and coming from Philly, I have high standards. First good wings I've had in years and the house pizza was awesome. Docking a half a star just because I felt the salad options were a little lacking/not to my tastes so we ended up getting pizza and wings which were amazing but a bit of a gut bomb as you'd expect. Highly recommend. read more

Unbelievable burgers in an Italian restaurant? It's more likely than you think. Also, the "petite Caesar salad" is ridiculously huge and is served on top of a delicious, warm garlic focaccia. Oh, and the pizza is excellent as well. Nice little place. Cute. Tasty. Not too expensive. read more

We love Nonno Alby's! Amazing pizza (especially Tartufata if you like truffle) and amazing everything else too! I've had a burger, wings, salad, kid's chicken tenders - all great. I always recommend Nonno Alby's! Super easy take out/pick up or great service if you eat in. read more

Have great pizzas. Little on the pricey side but many businesses are having to deal with this. Got to love inflation. . . not

Great service, beautiful decor, and delicious food. Enjoyed the burger, and brick-oven pizza.

Have returned many times and we still love Nonno's as much as ever (!!!) however we've noticed a trend that we feel needs mentioning....short-pours of beer are becoming a fairly frequent occurrence. This is lazy (or worse, intentional) and is becoming a common occurrence at many places. Set yourselves apart, take an extra 5 seconds and give us full(er) draughts. read more

Both times I've been there I got the Classic Burger and both times it was amazing. Definitely recommend this place.

Nothing gourmet here. Pizza is good for the Reading area. Nice couple own the place but don't expect quick and efficient service. The two of them are the cooks, waiters, and cashiers. read more

The pizza is always good and very inventive! We usually go for dinner but this visit was for lunch. My wife and I both opted for the caprese panini and it was really great! Very fresh! If you like caprese, I highly recommend it! read more

This place is authentic, cozy, and makes you feel welcome right as you walk in the door. I had the Nonno Alby's personal 12" and it was probably one of the best pizzas I have had in my life. The sauce and garlic is so fresh. Nice crust and the service was top notch. Will come back for sure! read more

They make a great orange crush! Food is good, a tad expensive but I'd go to the establishment again.

Four stars because I have not been here nearly enough but within time, I will edit or update my review with more honest details. I think this will become a favorite for date night. Nonna Alby's is owned and operated by a true blooded Italian family. Best bang for your buck when it comes to brick oven pizza. Even some of my Italian NY friends were impressed...and we know those New Yorkers are tough cookies! The pizzas are personal - like California Pizza Kitchen personal size if you will. Great for sharing if you eat like a bird but it is so tasty you won't resist that warm, crispy crust that you may want to be a glutton for punishment (no pun intended!) Cozy, intimate atmosphere in the heart of charming Penn Avenue in West Reading unlike some nice pizza joints in the area that are landlocked in the throngs of vanilla suburbia overcrowded with a bombastic, loud atmosphere making it difficult to cozy up together and just talk...and doesn't insightful conversation and a good pizza pie marry so well together? read more

Nonno Alby's - Margherita pie - Pizza Near Me - West Reading, Pennsylvania

Lindsay K. loves Nonno Alby's and decided this was a great place to take me to lunch while visiting the Reading area. Boy was she right! First off, they are a BYOB establishment. They charge a $3 corking fee which did not bother me one bit; that's a steal in my book. Our server was very attentive and was able to answer all of my questions about the menu and offered some great suggestions. Lindsay K. and I shared a few things and my favorites were the Capresa with Buffalo Mozzarella ($12) and the Nonno Alby's Pizza ($12). Who would have thought out-of -season tomatoes could taste so good? The buffalo mozzarella was plentiful and delicious. Everything was served over warm focaccia, which was a great compliment to the tomatoes and mozzarella. The pizza had San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, fresh Italian sausage, sautéed rapini, garlic, and hot pepper flakes. I couldn't have asked for a better pizza. The toppings went so well together. If you're looking for something a little more complex than a margherita pizza, the Nonno Alby's is the way to go. I had a few bites of a cannoli ($1.25) and it was the best one I've ever had. Be sure to get one for dessert! read more
