I did takeout and the pizza was great. I ordered a "Special" which has everything on it I like, and nothing that I didn't like. I was leery when it mentions "extra cheese" but I was not disappointed. Some places say extra cheese but don't really mean it. It was great! read more

I honestly don't know why I don't come here more often, especially considering I like this food more than any offering from the wildly more popular Paolo's Pizza which is just up the road. So, what makes Paolo's more popular? The fact that they have a bar, I'd reckon. Chicho Bella (I love saying this out loud, by the way) is located at an unfortunate location nestled between a gas station and used car dealership off a busy stretch of U.S.-222 BUS. Unless you're looking for it, you'd probably just zoom right by it and be none the wiser. Hell, even when I was looking for it, I zoomed right past it because it's basically on the side of a highway, and the building itself is tiny. Your eyes would have to be glued to the side of the road rather than the road itself to have a chance of spotting it. That is, unless you want to be plodding along with an angry, mile-long convoy behind you going 20 MPH as you're squinting at every building in the general vicinity of where your GPS took you. Once I found the damn place, it was smooth sailing... well, kinda. I went in, picked up my order, got back to my car, and.. hmm, something seems off. Ah yes, I'm missing my salad. Go back in to retrieve said salad. Guy working behind the counter says, "Oh, my bad, here it is." The salad is teetering on some ledge five inches from the ceiling above the grill. Ah yes, warm salad. Nothing better. So yeah, other than the fact that they need to double check the pickup orders to make sure everything is actually there, I quite liked the food. They put a lot of passion into their menu. They being the two owners of the restaurant that appeared in a Reading Eagle article years back when Chicho Bella first opened. I walked in and it was like "Oh shit, those are the same two guys behind the counter cooking and manning the cash register." These dudes aren't just sitting back and hiring people to do the dirty work. They are very much hands-on owners who are doing what it takes to keep their business afloat. I have to respect that. They have some good specials online (especially during lunch), so be sure to check out their official website. Chicho's is the perfect spot for hoagies, personal stromboli's, and chef salads (with hard-boiled egg!). Fantastic selection. read more

See all

Good pizza and subs. Fair prices. Quick service. Easy access from the highway. Small dining room for eating in. A decent pick.

Hands down the best pizza around, in my opinion. We only ever get takeout because the eating area is very small. I'm updating my review based on the service. The owner has been quite curt, unfriendly, and abrasive. His attitude is like he's doing you a favor and you owe him. I'm going to start looking for a new go-to place for pizza that has pleasant ownership. read more

Great food and customer service! I've been eating at this place ever since it opened up. Hasn't disappointed me once over the years.

I did a web search for "lunch", and this local spot came up listing a menu full of Italian specialties. I'm new to the area, so I decided I needed to give it a try. It's a bit small inside, but there are tables for up to 4 people. They deliver locally as well. Inside looked nice and clean as well. I ordered my food to go. I was warmly greeted, which is always a plus. I did not see a menu anywhere, but had reviewed their menu on their website prior to arrival. Other reviews suggested the Italian sub, so that's what I got as well. I ordered small, which is 6"; a large would be 12-14" per the gentleman who assisted me. Overall, I thought the sandwich was yummy! It was ready for me within a few moments and tasted fresh. read more

I went with my fiancé and a family friend. The food was amazing and the prices are reasonable. Free refills on the fountain drinks and great service. I highly recommend this pizza joint and they played fire old school music. read more

We got hoagies, pizza, wings, cheesesteaks, fries, calzones. Bunch of other stuff. Everything was banging. No cons about this place.

It's good. Prices are decent. They're quick. The orders are correct. My food has been fresh and packaged the way I asked. I haven't had anything that blew my mind, but I also haven't had a single issue with my food. The hard boiled eggs on their salads are perfect. The dressings are good. The pizzas good. Their rolls are good. We eat here atleast once a mont read more

Absolutely love the food. I am so happy this place opened in our area. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Excellent subs and pizza. Also delivers which is the only place in my vicinity that does so

3% credit card charge...really? Get real. That's some BS. Food was average. Nothing to write home about. Really cheap fries. All you taste is oil. Rolls are good. But it's another pizza shop that won't last a year at this location. read more

Tried for the first time tonight. Nice family run pizzeria with a lot of customers coming in for take out. The kids loved the pizza and my hoagie was very good. You can't lose using Amoroso rolls. Might be our new go to place for take out. We will be back. read more

If you have not tried this place get there soon. The best cheesesteak I ever had. Came back today for a stromboli and italian sandwiches. Both were fantastic. The sauce for the stromboli was so good. This will be a weekly thing so we can try everything on the menu.........did I mention the pizza......yummmmm! read more

Five stars for this place. Have gotten pizza and wings three times now and always great. Pizza is the best around, wings are large and crispy on the outside / juicy inside. read more
