Sarcone's Bakery - Philadelphia

A hidden gem! The pizza and tomato cake here are both simple yet absolutely incredible. The ingredients may be basic, but their combination is truly something special. The crust is both soft and crispy, while the tomato sauce is rich in flavor. The owner is such a lovely lady who even offered me a taste of a special cookie. I highly recommend stopping by!

I purchased a pound of cookies on February 13, 2023. Aside from one brand in the variety I selected, the rest were disappointing. I ended up throwing them away, and I won’t be buying them again.

Generous portions of bread and cookies with a rich history. However, they really need to update their hours. Google indicates they close at 4 PM on Fridays, but when I arrived at 3 PM, the doors were already locked.

We visited Sarcone's Bakery last weekend when we explored South 9th Street Italian Market. We have a box of cookies (they are sold by weight so you have enough to fulfill a certain weight). It's a nice place and everything looked delicious. And it is clearly a popular place where a large group met, just like we were gone. Unfortunately, I did not love the cookies. The cherry jelly top cookies gel was so sticky and had a really artificial, medical cherry taste. The other two cookies were much better, but we didn't want to. Overall, it is a sweet place, but maybe not our taste for candy?

Get the tomato pie! It is yummy. I ordered online for delivery and had a slice for breakfast. The other four slices were gone in less than 10 minutes because everyone wanted some!
