Thirsty Bear Bar & Pizza Restaurant

Great local pizza place perfect for groups. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food is very good quality and value. Would recommend the 20 inch pizzas half and half to share and wings and curly fries on the side. Inside and outside seating available. I've been there with groups of 4 and 9, and they handle it equally well.

Lovely location, amazing staff members and delicious food! I spent a few days in Reading with my family and we came across Thirsty Bear. We had some drinks on Friday and came back to taste their pizza for dinner on Sunday. We're from Italy therefore we were really curious about if their pizza tasted as good as it looked and we have to say that it is the best pizza we ever had in England! Competent chef fron Sicily and good quality ingredients. Shoutout to the waitress Andrada! She speaks Italian fluently and she was super kind, patient and considerate to us all the time. Definitely coming back next time!

I've walked past this place 100 times and I only stepped inside last night. It's actually really good, decent wooden decor/atmosphere, great toilets, the staff are second to none: gentleman with grey beard sat me down and got me a drink at once, and the lady working the bar was also very friendly and cool. I wasn't hungry enough to try the pizza today but I will definitely be back. Some sports TV (tennis) but nothing intrusive. Go there!
