Almost Famous Hot and Spicy- Small
James H.

strong brick pizzeria was fire. we got seated right away even with it being pizza week. i had a coke and the almost famous hot and spicy pizza and it was amazing. the spice and crunch hit just right and the grippos on top made it super unique and crazy good. service was solid too. our server brought the drinks fast and the pizza came out fresh and hot straight from the oven. it was a little louder than i'd like but overall it was a really good night.

A hidden gem with BIG flavor in Reading, OH! While exploring the Reading Bridal District and hunting down street art, I stumbled across Strong's Brick Oven Pizzeria -- and wow, am I glad I followed the scent of wood-fired deliciousness. I ordered a brick oven pizza, and honestly, it was love at first bite. The crust had that perfect balance of chew and crisp, with just the right amount of golden char from the brick oven. The toppings? Cheesy, flavorful, and piping hot. Exactly what you want when you're craving comfort food done right. Bonus points for the atmosphere -- it's laid-back but full of character. Watching the staff toss dough and slide pizzas into the open flame was a whole experience in itself. You can tell they take pride in their craft without taking themselves too seriously. Service was excellent -- super kind, helpful, and just the right amount of attentive. I never felt rushed or hovered over, which is a big plus for me when I'm trying to relax and enjoy the meal. Don't forget dessert. I strongly recommend cannoli while you are there and then take home an apple pizza! Strong's feels like one of those rare local spots that's worth going a little out of your way for. Whether you're a local or a traveler looking for more than fast food, do yourself a favor and grab a slice (or a calzone -- trust me!).

Chicken Wings

If it's convenient, grab your pizza here! But, I won't be going out of my way for a repeat visit. Basic and some creative pizza options, wings, etc. Nothing was wrong or bad, but nothing stood out or wow'ed my tastebuds either. Environment/ambiance was also standard or basic and maybe even a little dated. Service was adequate, but we did have to get up to request water, silverware, and napkins. Parking was easy in attached lot.

Garlic Parmesan wings
Ashley C.

Here for wing week, the Garlic Parmesan wing flavor and bleu cheese were top tier. The wings were just okay, they taste like pre made wings so they weren't terrible. I love the old ambiance and character of the old pizza place. I'll have to come back and try it out. Service was efficient,but nothing 5 star worthy. I could see why it's a neighborhood gem.

What a welcome addition this pizzeria is to the town of Reading. Located in the former Sorrento's, it is a great place for families or date night. Nice large open space and I love that the brightly colored pizza oven and pizza making station is located where the old Sorrento's piano bar was. Visited for the first time during Cincinnati pizza week. The dough and pizza or just delicious! My husband ordered the chicken wings and they were very juicy, large and meaty! Not what you usually get at other places these days. We will absolutely be back!

Had lunch at the Reading location with a coworker, and we will definitely be back. Entire staff was very helpful, friendly and attentive. Some of the best pizza I've had. That crust was dynamite, the oven was awesome to see right out in the middle, and that spicy red sauce on the Diavolo Dolce was killer. It was kind of like a version of Grippos BBQ chips with a little more heat. Fantastic! Can't wait to try some of the other specialty pies. Really neighboorhood/friendly vibe!

We stopped by recently for some takeout and were helped quickly at the bar. Our food came out in less than 10 minutes and the bartender was helpful and friendly while we waited. The patio was packed with people enjoying the nice weather! The parking lot in back is also a perk. We split the smash bros chickpea wrap, which was above average for a wrap but didn't make a huge impression. The menu said roasted tomatoes but the tomatoes to me seemed like just sliced Roma tomatoes. It held up and was great to go! I will note it does not come with a side and thus feels pretty expensive for the amount of food it is. The real hit was the pretzel nuggets. These have been on the menu for a while and stand the test of time. The garlic caramel is standout and the beer cheese is also delicious. We both commented we wanted to eat the extra sauce on its own at the end because it was so delicious. Tela is great to dine in or to go. With pickleball and great walking routes nearby, it's a great option to make a night of it in Wyoming! Highly recommend.

Only thing is I wish they could make it gluten free. I got the Mira bowl in a kid size portion and had boiled eggs as an add on. Perfect portion! The bartender recommended the smaller size since I was getting waffles and I'm glad she made that suggestion. Lavender latte with oatmilk was light and delicate. Just what I was looking for. Nothing was too sweet and I enjoyed everything. The inside had a nice airy feel to it. They have a cute little kids corner filled with books and fun stuff for the little ones to stay busy while waiting on meals. They close at 3 so I recommend enjoying it for brunch/lunch!

Or you can be seated at a table in a large open dining area. Very community conscious with a ramp for wheelchair to get from main hostess area to the dining area. I was seated right away. Being visitor from VA Beach, I asked what's the recommended dish, the server suggested omelette. But I wasn't in the mood for omelette so I saw shakshuka. I tried their Green Goddess version that has spinach (instead of tomato sauce) and feta. The food is a solid 3. I also ordered the Dubai Chocolate latte. It was a 3 as you taste more the milk than the chocolate syrup. I also got their chocolate chip banana bread.

It had been many years since I'd been to Benson's Tavern. I ordered the smash burger with egg,…read morewhichever one that may be, and it was delicious. Fairly priced for sure, and I'll likely come back for another. One thing that did throw me off was that the server brought me a draft beer when I had asked for a bottle. I expected better there, especially since the place was not busy at all. I still drank it and moved on. Outside of that, charging full price for soda water is pretty ridiculous, but I'll give you a pass on that poor business practice. Maybe the server was new or making up her own rules. Overall though, the burger alone will probably bring me back since you comfortable seating.

We walked in and was greeted immediately. The service was amazing and the food was fabulous. The place was very clean kind of old school if you will. We ordered a burger and fries and asked to split it and surprisingly they brought it out. Literally split down the middle with fries split evenly between us and we each got a pickle. I will have to say that was amazing service and probably one of the best pub burgers I've had in a while . I would be happy to come back here again. I will admit I don't get to the area very often, but if I do this location will be at the top of my list if I want a burger and fries.
