Thirsty Bear Pub Pizza - Reading

One of the best pizza places I've been to! The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and provide great company. The menu is fantastic, and the drinks pair perfectly with the food.

I absolutely adore the pizzas at Thirsty Bear, particularly the vegetarian one with artichokes. The crust is perfectly crafted, and the pizza is generously drizzled with olive oil.

The wait staff was amazing—attentive without being overbearing—and the chef was a joy. Considering the quality of the pizzas, I found the prices to be very reasonable. These folks definitely know their pizza, and I can’t wait to visit them again. Their offerings make Domino's and Pizza Hut seem quite ordinary by comparison!

Table service, which is carried out by a very efficient bar service, is well served. The pizza here is really good and they are absolutely huge, but you can also buy from the slice. Good selection of drinks and sports on overhead panels.

The Thirsty Bear Pub is a refurbished venue on the outskirts of central Reading at the end of Kings Road. This place has bags of character. Spread over 3 floors there is the main ground floor as you enter, up the stairs to the middle floor which serves as an individual venue if required then up again to the roof top terrace which is a lovely little space out in the open air. Chatting to the landlord there are plans to try a DJ in the near future possibly using the entire middle floor. With a lot of potential this could well be an up and coming venue in Reading. Definitely worth checking out. Recommended.
