About Carlos Pizzeria Restaurant

Welcome to Carlos Pizzeria Restaurant in Reading, PA

Nestled in the heart of Reading, Pennsylvania, Carlos Pizzeria Restaurant combines the comforts of a neighborhood eatery with the convenience of a modern delivery restaurant. Whether you’re craving a hot slice on your lunch break, planning a family dinner, or hosting a movie night at home, Carlos Pizzeria offers a warm, family-friendly atmosphere and a broad menu that keeps guests coming back time and again. As a locally owned pizza restaurant, Carlos Pizzeria is proud to serve every customer with genuine hospitality and a passion for handcrafted, satisfying meals.

A Menu That Inspires Every Appetite

At Carlos Pizzeria, variety isn’t an afterthought—it’s the cornerstone of our kitchen. From hand-tossed pizzas and oven-roasted subs to crisp salads and hearty pasta dishes, our menu is curated to please all palates.

  • Signature Homemade Bread: Customers repeatedly rave about our in-house baked loaves. “Love their bread!” one guest exclaimed, and another confirms, “The bread used for the hoagies is amazing.” This fresh foundation elevates every sandwich and wrap.
  • Crispy Garlic Wings: Our wings are a must-order appetizer. Golden-brown, perfectly crisp, and coated in bold garlic seasoning, they’ve earned comments like “Wings were crispy and garlicky” and “huge fresh garlic wings.”
  • Cheesesteak Stromboli: Combining two crowd favorites, this stromboli turns Philly-style flavors into a handheld meal. One patron declared it “delicious,” and another called it “great,” making it an instant go-to.
  • Sweet Finish with Cannolis: Don’t skip dessert. Our cannolis have fans shouting “BEST cannolis EVER!!” Their creamy ricotta filling and crisp shell provide the perfect finale to any meal.

A Commitment to Quality (Even When Flavors Vary)

While food quality can fluctuate on rare occasions—some diners have noted undercooked or overly greasy items—most guests find consistency in our core specialties. Our pizzas are celebrated for their crisp crusts and thoughtfully balanced toppings, though a small number have reported an off-tasting pie. We view every review as an opportunity to refine our recipes, and we continually train our kitchen team to uphold the high standards you expect.

Friendly Service & Inviting Atmosphere

Stepping into Carlos Pizzeria, you’ll be greeted with more than just the aroma of fresh-baked bread and melting mozzarella. Our staff strives to create a welcoming, family-friendly experience, keeping our dining room clean and comfortable. Guests appreciate that “the owner makes an attempt to say hello to everyone despite how busy he is,” and they praise the “great service” and “nice, clean” environment. Whether you’re catching up with friends over a slice or grabbing a quick takeout, you’ll always feel recognized and valued.

Outstanding Value & Generous Portions

At Carlos Pizzeria Restaurant, quality shouldn’t come at a premium. Our portion sizes are designed to satisfy hungry appetites without breaking the bank. Diners frequently comment on our “reasonable prices”—like a large cheese pizza for $13.50—and the ample servings that accompany each order. From our hearty strombolis to filling pasta plates and overstuffed subs, you’ll leave feeling full and content, appreciating the true value of a meal well made.

Streamlined Ordering & Reliable Delivery

As a full-service delivery restaurant, Carlos Pizzeria makes it easy to enjoy your favorites from home, the office, or even the ball field. Many customers laud our “fast, well-packaged deliveries” and “courteous drivers” who ensure hot, fresh arrivals. To minimize hiccups, we recommend ordering directly through our phone line or website—while third-party apps like Grubhub can be convenient, some guests have experienced occasional cancellations or delays. Our in-house team works diligently to get each order out promptly and intact.

Why Carlos Pizzeria Restaurant Stands Out

  • Locally Owned & Operated: As a family-run spot in Reading, PA, we invest personally in every pizza, pasta, and subs we serve.
  • Broad, Seasonally Updated Menu: With weekly specials and new twists on classics, your next visit is always a fresh experience.
  • Unwavering Hospitality: From the moment you walk in or place a delivery order, our goal is to make you feel like part of the Carlos Pizzeria family.
  • Proven Customer Favorites: Whether you’re craving homemade bread, garlicky wings, a cheesesteak stromboli, or a “BEST EVER” cannoli, you’ll find your new go-to dish here.
