Tripoli Pizza and Bakery is clearly a neighborhood favorite. We stopped in for baked goods. Pizza on the left, baker on the right. The parking lot is a good size and if I remember correctly, the lot is locked up when the business is closed.
The bakery has so much to offer. Fresh baked breads in the morning, pizza strips and other 'bread' foods. Cookies, lots of cakes, pastries of all sorts. Definitely find something you like.
We visited during the holiday and there were so many holiday sweet treats. Trays and trays. I took home some cannoli, a sfogliatelle, and cookies. The cannoli were tasty and fresh. We enjoyed these. The sfogliatelle did not seem fresh - the pastry was hard and no longer flaky and the cream inside was dried out. Won't try that one again soon. Too bad really, I do like this pastry when fresh. The cookies were just OK for me. I do a lot of baking and these did not taste fresh made.
I understand bakeries have a thin profit margin and you are always having to guess what will sell. No disrespect to the business. They offer a wide variety of cakes and sweets and I only tried a small sampling. I love these old neighborhood businesses that have been around 'forever'. We know people who stop here about once a month and rave about them. I'll try them again and keep my fingers crossed. read more
