Unfriendly service-almost like they want you to leave and don't care if you buy or not. Product dropped in quality. No longer the delicious bread from days gone by. Bread is tasteless. Nothing fresh. All frozen. Ruined a tremendous product. Don't bother. read more

Marchiano's Tomato Pie is out of this world Delicious! Wish they had a Bakery in St. Petersburg, FL.

Wow -- this incredible bakery has restored my faith in Philadelphia-bred tomato pie! Let's dive in ... Tomato Pie (5/5): Ok so quick story -- I tried tomato pie (from not this bakery) for the first time at a Halloween party in Coatesville and upon eating it was less than impressed; I was left with the thought "where's the cheese?" Well, let me tell you, Marachiano's has restored my faith in this famous Philly-Sicilian dish and wow it's incredible! The bread has this beautiful bottom crust and supple chew throughout. The tomato sauce is rich and pairs beautifully. The side-edge crust is beautifully colored and just hits in all the right spots. We got a half pie and we were shocked at how huge the portion was -- though it didn't stop us from devouring it over the course of an afternoon and evening. Would order this everyday if my waistline wouldn't hate me. Spinach & Cheese Specialty Bread (5/5): We came in wanting to try their other specialty stuffed bread -- the Oreganata -- but they only had tomato left. We opted instead for the stuffed spinach and cheese specialty bread and have zero regrets. This was a take-away and reheat but the instructions were clear and easy. Within 15 minutes we had a beautiful cheesey-pulley masterpiece with perfectly blended spinach, cheese, and seasoning which we cut into one inch bite-size pieces. Highly recommend this as well. TL;DR: Honestly, get anything here and you likely won't be disappointed. Can't wait to be back! Put it on the repeat list! read more

Marchiano's Bakery - Half tomato pie - Bakeries Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Service was friendly and outstanding. Tomato Pie was excellent. The pepper, egg and cheese bread is the best out there.

I'll cut to the chase. After being told by not a few persons that THIS was the best Philly-style tomato pie going, I tried it. In a word, nowheresville. Good pizza, warm or cold, must have good crust. This stuff was like a cracker crust, not chewy, with no flavor. Plus there was too much of it. The tomato gravy edge was far from the end of the crust. I'm not a politician eating the stuff with a knife and fork! It's pizza. Or supposed to be.... Tomato flavor was good, but not superlative. Too salty, and lacking in any discernible herbs. The best "Philly" tomato pie I've ever had was in South Jersey, and I've been able to almost recreate it at home. I'd hoped today's pie would give it and my homemade version a run, but it came nowhere near meeting a minimum standard. I'll look elsewhere for a better version. read more

Like Mary Poppins, they are practically perfect in every way. I've never had something that wasn't delicious and when I have family in town or am going to visit people, they demand Marchiano's! read more

I've been eating Marchiano's since I was a kid -- it's been a Philly staple in my family for as long as I can remember. Every time I'm home, it's my first stop. The stuffed breads, the tomato pie -- nothing else compares. Now that they're on Goldbelly, I can finally get my fix anywhere in the country. A taste of home, shipped straight to my door. read more

Favorite place for tomato pie in the area! They also have homemade strombolis you can purchase and just heat up in the oven. Lots of variety! Cash only! read more

#Flamtastic stuffed breads - we tried pepper & egg (and cheese) and Spinach & Cheese. So good - and that bread! Wow! Please never retire. I pray you are open for many generations. CASH ONLY!!! read more

Finally got a chance to get to this neighborhood staple on a Sunday afternoon! Before moving to Philly I didn't have any neighborhood bakeries like this, so this felt really really good to finally experience. We ordered a tomato pie and 2 bacon egg and cheeses. Apparently the tomato pie was leftover from the night before, but you would never know because it still tasted immensely fresh and delicious. The bacon egg and cheeses were lovely as well. For the 3 items we spend 24 bucks and would do it again. The people were super nice and even though I'm not an Eagles fan, they had the Eagles decorations everywhere which I can respect. I respected the transparency of them letting us know it wasn't a fresh pie (they had already sold out by 12pm, so that should tell you a story of the quality. Also, plan accordingly) and they adjusted the price to reflect that as well. Check this place out! read more

Marchiano's Bakery - Tomato pie - Bakeries Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

It doesn't take an educated palate to know when something is good. Marchiano's is the definition of comfort food . I've spent many a summer or day after school ingesting their chicken cheesesteak bread or broccoli/cheese bread. They've delivered every single time in keeping me full. Even more appealing than the quality is the price as most things are quite reasonable.Parking may be a hassle on the Manayunk hills but nothing worthwhile ever came easy. If I were to hand someone a list of top 5 food locations in Manayunk, Marchiano's Bakery would make the list. read more

**CASH ONLY; HARD TO FIND PARKING** It's one of the hidden jewels that you'll be amazed at if you haven't tried. If you have been here, you know what I'm talking about! I would bring cash and park in the gravel lot across the street past the railroad and walk down. Fresh Italian baked goods. I honestly haven't had an awful piece of bread from here! I am willing to bet money that you won't be disappointed here! read more

On the edge of Manayunk sits this little Italian bakery. It's not a bakery in the traditional sense of the word but its specialty items are definitely baked. Marchiano's is known for its rich tomato pies and specialty breads. The specialty breads came from a recipe used in the small southern Italian Calabrian village of Cosenza. They are filled with many tasty items including Philly icons such as scrabble and cheesesteak, But their original specialty bread with a filling of pepperoni and cheese will always be my favorite. I was in Manayunk recently and felt like a Marchiano's specialty bread and fortunately they had my pepperoni and cheese. I took it home for one tasty and filling meal. If you have never been to Marchiano's - go. It has become a Philadelphia tradition. Not only is the shop quaint to look at, everyone who works there is super friendly. Tip - There are special hours during the Covid-19 pandemic which can be found on their Facebook page, read more

Oh my God you have to come here. This is sort of a must if you live and around the Manyunk area of Philadelphia. I passed by this for the last 3 to 4 years and it's one of those places when you see it you point out that you must go in. It is that wonderful local shop environment that is bustling and there's always people inside in line. It is well worth the wait and the difficulty of finding parking to get inside. The downside is parking, it's street parking and it's difficult because it's such a busy street. But once you get in or you do a take-out order, their bread and food item menu is a must to try cannot go wrong with anything on it! read more

The most delicious thing you could ever imagine is their pepperoni bread. Perfect for hangovers. The bread is crispy in the outside and soft in the inside and so full of buttery flavor. The stuffings include tons of pepperoni and I don't even know what kind of cheese, but it's really good cheese. Note: the inside does not contain sauce, it's just the pepperoni and cheese, but you can buy a side of sauce for dipping. The portions are huge and one is more than enough to soak up your mistakes from the night before. Cash only read more

Great local hole-in-the-wall Italian bakery. As stated, parking may be tough. I've never had to stand in line to get in, but the place is always hopping on big game days, especially if the Eagles are playing. The large tomato pie is enormous, but will disappear before your eyes; it's that delicious. It's the perfect combination of chewy crust and sweet and savory sauce. More than a decade ago, it was ranked as "Best of Philly" in Philadelphia Magazine, but it deserves that honor every year. Then there are the stuffed cheese breads: follow the directions for heating at home. Oozing cheese and delectable fillings, they are what you wish the average Stromboli tasted like. Perfection! A local gem and a great value for your money. Long live Marchiano's! read more

Geez...how have I not rated this before? A staple of the Manayunk area. Old school Italian bakery that specializes in one of a kind breads. Similar to a Stromboli but aren't specifically baked for rapid consumption. Some are frozen and others are fridge for either eating that night by reheating or sometime in the future. Haven't really tried their tomato pie but the pepperoni bread is out of this world. Also love the chicken cheesesteak, cheesesteak and cheesesteak sauce onions and pepperoni one. They suggest calling a few days in advance for pick up but I've been luck enough to get some day of. Bring cash. Parking is tough so beware. read more

Hands down the BEST tomato pie I've eaten. I'm from north Jersey so I love pizza. The first time I tried tomato pie I wasn't sold. But then we decided to order a pie from here this weekend and it was amazing. The sauce to crust ratio was perfect and the sauce tasted so good. We also got the pepperoni bread which was equally delicious. It's basically like a calzone. I'm kinda mad at myself for trying this place because now I'm going to want to go every week!! I can't wait to go back. read more

Manayunk residing family members of mine has been raving about this for a year. Was told it was stuffed bread and my excitement level wasn't exactly above a 1 owing to my trying to stay in the low carb realm for the next few weeks. But the car came to a stop at the bottom of the one of the Yunk's hills and to the left was Marchiano's. This had to be fate. Walking in I was warmly greeted and I felt the mom and pop vibe. The bakery was a simple place where many, many breads were displayed in an orderly fashion. You just pick and go. I decided on the sausage, pepper and cheese stuffed bread to take home. Paid, left and went to the car and took a bite or 30. All I know is one bite turned into the whole thing being gone in 10 minutes. So unlike me, the leftover queen who always takes leftovers home to enjoy a second day. But I swear I was put in a spell from the deliciousness of the fresh ingredients. That's the story I'm sticking with. read more

What can one say about this location that hasn't already been said. I haven't been in here for almost a year and yea its bread time. Its a Gem located on the corner in the rough. Not located on Main St but tucked away on Umbria St, and they can hold their own. They are known for many numerous ways of making any man or woman salivate when they are not hungry. Their tomato pie is outstanding... fresh dough... everything is fresh in here, who am i kidding.I have had different versions of a "tomato pie" from different spots, Marchiano's are second only to my mothers, and as for the others.. take notes. I love the stuffed breads they also make if you are not into the pie scene. I don't know how you can't be .. the smell alone will convert you. They do breakfast stuffed breads.. which is amazing! If you're not into the breakfast theme go with the cheese steak, or it doesn't matter which route you go... I promise you will love it Picture this: Fresh dough layered with cheese, along with scrambled eggs.. and your choice of meat (if you choose) myself.. i go with the sausage. Now place this in the oven and bake.. the cheese dances and covers over those eggs that have been scrambled with love, inviting the sausage to join the party.. in-cased in bread!!! Doesn't that just make you salivate right there... if it doesn't then i don't know what to say... wait i do .. go and get one and see for yourself.. bacon is another great way to go.. Lets talk about price... Its no where close to being expensive... for the orgasm you will give your taste buds along with a moan or a grunt in pure food enjoyment.. it is worth it. You bring a 20 spot with you, you'd have a meal for the whole day.. 3 loaves of just pure heaven.. The owners are nothing but spectacular, the kindest group out there. They showed a lot of patience when i was there with the couple in front of me. Myself i was gonna grab a loaf and hit them over the head with it , but i respect their bread too much.. Why do you dare question their quality and reference a stuffed steak pretzel with theirs. Side note: Order a head of time because they do get very busy if you are planning something. I will be coming back more often read more

Wow. Been hearing about Marchiano's for a long time, but never made the trip over. I just so happened to pass by today and thought, "today is a good day for a tomato pie." Holy crap. This tomato pie is the best I've ever had. The staff were so friendly and had masks on/protective no-contact measures taken which was so appreciated. I scored a half order of the tomato pie for $9 (but it was HUGE)! I'm not ashamed to say I had hoped I would have leftovers to freeze, but...we ate it all. The sauce is killer, the dough is chewy and delicious, and the spice mixture will leave you feeling like you need to brush your teeth (but in the best way possible). So good! read more

Been going here forever. Really wish they didn't refrigerate/freeze their breads though. Now I can't stop in and grab one for a quick lunch at room temperature. I liked it better the old way where the breads sat in the display. You told them what you wanted and they wrapped them up right in front of you. read more

We're driving through Manayunk, on our way to Chestnut Hill for some last minute shopping, and FDC suddenly shouts - OMG, there's this place around here that makes the most excellent pepperoni bread! She's peering at the shops on corners, until we come to Marchiano's and she says - That's it! That's the place! There's an actual line of people out the door and on the sidewalk, so I say, let's stop in on our way back. We probably should have stood in line. About an hour later, we head back. No line! Yay! Good decision. Sorta. We go in, and it's a very typical Philly pizza shop, the kind I remember from childhood, lots of ovens and racks and people in aprons. In front of us is a rack of aluminum wrapped "stuffed breads". We scan - no pepperoni, but lots of others. Oh. Pepperoni sells out fast. Hence, the line. FDC selects some of the others - ham & cheese, peppers & onions in gravy. We go to the counter - no pepperoni? They have a few frozen ones left. YES! We quickly scoop them up, and they make sure we have reheating instructions. Cash only. Uh-oh. Fortunately, there's an ATM machine right there, so we go grab cash, and say, we'll also take these cold sodas. They're free. Complimentary. With every purchase. How cool. They are very nice about it and say 'take whatever you want, girls." We head home, and I pop one of the pepperoni breads in the oven, following the instructions. 25 minutes later, we discover heaven. The bread is nicely firm, and absorbs the oil from the pepperoni and cheese without getting soggy. What miraculous alchemy is this? There's tons of pepperoni and cheese, so it should be dripping grease everywhere, but nope. Also, it was delicious. FDC said the other breads were very good, but clearly for her the rockstar was the pepperoni. I've got a couple more tucked in the freezer, which we will definitely enjoy, and we will most definitely be back. You can order a day ahead too, so if you're a planner (or having a party or something) you can be assured that you won't have to wait in line to score some of this marvelous bread. read more

They are a unique staple of the area, and a family owned business, to boot. They make delicious breads (which are best heated up at home) and they have kept the same recipes and flavors for years, which just layers on the nostalgia. Great job, guys! Keep it up! read more

Awesome tomato pie! Be sure to order ahead on Eagles game day. The crust is crispy. The sauce is on point.

I'll keep this review short and simple. Greatest. Tomato. Pie. I've. Ever. Had. Service? Terrific Good? Terrific Prices? Definitely fair! Overall rating: 10/10, if you're nearby definitely call and set up an order, you'll never regret it! read more

Delicious and affordable savory stuffed breads. They have SO many varieties- I've gotten the egg and pepper and the tomato and cheese. Both were excellent. Throw them in your oven for a few minutes and you have a delicious meal for 2, or a tasty snack for 3-4 people. read more

cant knock the food, it is good but curse the people that work here. they are dicks to new customers- the ordering process isnt exactly common or intuitive so when people have questions they roll their eyes when answering. theres also no internet presence so not like you can look it up beforehand. fuuuuuckkk that attitude! your business cant survive without growing- so start answering peoples questions or prepare to go under. couch tomato here i come! read more

I have ordered pies and cheesesteaks from Marchianos before and it is wonderful. It reminds me of my grandma's cooking. Their tomato pies are incredible and can be refrigerated for weeks on end and still have the same quality flavor. There is nothing better than getting some of their fresh baked goods on the weekends and having it for the rest of the week. read more

The specialty breads are amazing. Especially the cheesesteak and Buffalo chicken cheesesteak breads.

Stopped by this morning to pick up a few speciality breads for my upcoming 4th of July party. Highly recommend because they are always a crowd pleaser! Whenever I go I like to stock up and keep them in my freezer for a last minute get together appetizer that is ready to go or a perfect dinner/snack. My favorites are the cheesesteak and pepperoni. I haven't tried the tomato pie yet but I imagine it's wonderful as well. The employees are super friendly and it's extremely Covid safe. One thing to note - they no longer have an ATM and are cash only. Make sure you have cash before you go (or you'll have to walk a few blocks to get to an ATM)! read more

I have been coming here my entire life and, while it has not always been my favorite local tomato pie, it has withstood the test of time and now is the only local one available (I am giving it five stars, so not being my favorite back in '93-'94 doesn't mean it's still not the shit!). For $13.50 you can score a whole pie, which is about 2' x 3.5' (and $7.25 for a half, which is bigger and cheaper than any local pizza pie) and extraordinarily filling while still very economical. The good eats don't stop with the tomato pie, because the stuffed breads here are just as much of a draw, if not more. For $5.50-$5.75, you can have a bread stuffed with fillings like bacon and eggs, spinach and cheese, or even the newly added buffalo chicken. This is a seriously good deal for an area where most cheese steaks are closer to $7, because the breads are slightly larger than a standard steak sandwich, and their cheese steak version is only five bucks and four bits. Add in a cup of marinara for a dollar and you've got a great lunch for two. They also have Oreganata here in the sweet, mild, and hot forms, but the best kind comes with peperoni as well. This is a great local family run business that is a favorite of many (as evidenced by the jam packed wall of celebrity autograph photos and fast moving lines out the door on weekends). Stop in on a holiday and you'll even find them offering free beers and mixed cocktails to the patrons. Be warned though, on weekends (especially for eagles game day) and big holiday party days the product gets bought up fast, so order in advanced because it's better than settling for spinach or broccoli when your heart was set on pepperoni or steak. ***CASH ONLY, but they recently installed an ATM so, when you get there, no more trotting down to the corner bar to score the loot for your hangover grub*** P.S.- I just found out that most folk outside of Philadelphia don't know what a tomato pie is; Think square pizza sans mozzarella, served cold, and with a generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese for color contrast. Then think mmmmmmmm, good. read more

Delicate Tomato Pie? Yes! Hand-Rolled sweet, mild, or hot Oreganatas ? Yes! Thirteen different types of fresh Italian stuffed bread? Yes, yes, YES!
