Zia Lucia - Reading

You'll find Zia Lucia tucked away on St Mary's Butts, and it's the kind of place that makes you wonder how Reading's been sleeping on proper pizza for so long. This is Neapolitan done properly—none of that chain nonsense—with a wood-fired oven that's clearly been loved and maintained. The dough gets the time it deserves, the toppings are thoughtful rather than overloaded, and you can genuinely taste the difference. It's casual enough that you'll roll in on a Tuesday night without fuss, but busy enough that you'll understand why locals keep coming back. Fair pricing for what you're getting, too.
