This DeLuise knows what they're doing. The bread and pastries are delicious. Definitely my favorite pizza strips of all time. If you don't know about Rhode Island pizza strips then you're missing out. The ambiance is perfect, just what it should be. A neighborhood bakery in an old neighborhood building. A few display cases filled with tempting pastry deliciousness, a counter with a couple of trays of pizza strips and some shelves holding beautiful loafs of bread. Definitely worth the drive for top notch baked goods.

The ones that have been a part of the community for decades or even longer. I'm a few blocks down the road from Sal's Bakery on Chalkstone in Providence. I made a side trip there yesterday on my way to work. Got some classic pizza strips, a piece of spinach pesto pizza and an Italian cold cuts calzone. The guy at the counter was super nice and when I told him it was my first time, that I lived nearby, he lit up sharing with me how everything is made in house fresh every day. And I could taste it in every bite. The sauce they make is thick but still maintains some of the bright acidity of the tomato. There's even little bites of tomato bits here and there that made it so good The spinach pesto pizza was a solid option, although I think it would be better warmed a little. Still delicious and decimated by yours truly. Finally the Italian cold cuts calzone was a thing of beauty. The outside was that crispy crunchy exterior but soft interior like good Italian bread. And a good amount of meat, they packed it in this baby! On top of all that, the price is incredible. You can find many places that charge less for such quality items. So if you're in my neighborhood, make sure to check it out! They have TWO parking lots, in the front to the left and in the back. Even with all the snow they had plenty of parking for customers. Top notch service!

The first time I came, it was a rainy weekday and this time it was a sunny weekend, so I was expecting an even larger crowd; and my prediction was correct. The line was just out the door but because of their awesome staff, the line was moving very quickly. While we waited in line, we could watch them making pastries through the glass, a couple feet in front of us. I admired that level of transparency. When we were third in line, the kindest lady asked us whether we'd be eating in or taking out and she took down our name to help us find a table when it came time. She did the same for the rest of the people in line. She also gave us some recommendations, including the cinnamon bun - apparently they're so good kids cry when they sell out. I didn't intend to order anything with my drink, but I couldn't get the cinnamon bun out of my head so I ordered it along with my iced spiced chai latte. The hen (I think it's their logo) on the aprons of the employees are super cute. We did secure a table. The tables are close together to maximize the number of people who can sit down but I didn't mind. I love their art all around, mostly of birds which I am obsessed with. I love that they have a lot of natural lighting coming through their tall windows. I also like the navy blue and white theme they have going on. The chai latte was perfect. It was the right color (a dark tan), meaning the ratio of tea and milk was good and I could taste a lot of the spices. The cinnamon bun blew my expectations away. The second my teeth made. contact with the icing, it was a magical feeling. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it tasted like, but the closest I got was dulce de leche. It is truly unlike any other cinnamon bun I have ever had. The dough is soft and there is a good amount of cinnamon. It's also $4 which is not bad. I had a bite of their canelé, which apparently requires a lot of work to make. It was very moist, with a great caramelized finish. I am super excited to try their new weekend dinner menu, but also more of their all day menu items.

The spinach pie was so good that I will have to order one ever I drive by! The black olives are better than any I've ever had. The spinach is soft and tender, packed with flavor and the pepperoni just sends it home! The pizza was also very good. The crust is very airy with no char, it holds firm with all of those toppings. The crust is thin with a little char. The sauce, cheese and toppings are phenomenal. It is actually better reheated because the crust gets foldable. They do sell hot pizza by the slice and they do sell a lot of it.

Scialo Bros Bakery is an Italian style bakery in the Federal Hill section of Providence. I've been…read morea few times over the years, most recently last weekend. They sell fresh filled cannolis, cakes, cookies, pastries, etc. The small shop has a classic feel. On this visit, I just bought a box of cannolis. They had an option of a traditional filling, or with chocolate chips. They also had options for capping the ends. I chose chocolate chips for the chocolate chip filling, and pistachio for the traditional filling. I tried the traditional with pistachio. The shell is lighter than most of the places where I've bought cannolis. The filling was mildly sweet, very smooth and had a very slight fruit flavor. Perhaps from orange zest? In my experience, Scialo Bros is a cool place to visit and has good treats.

The setting is lovely- right by a playground, on a residential street.
