Hands down the BEST tomato pie!!! We order it any time we're going to have people over or need to bring something to someone else's house. Everyone always looks forward to it. Not to mention, the owners and staff are so sweet. The best spot in South Philly!

I would venture to say the style and quality of their tomato pie is no different than the pizza rosso at the campo dei fiori forno in Rome - so good!

My go to bakery. Nothing like fresh baked bread, bagels and amazing tomatoe pie or slices. You can find Danish, crossaints, tea biscuits on Sundays only. I also get the bread crumbs, so much better than the ones from the market.

New York Bakery on 11th Street in South Philadelphia, was the second stop on the bakery tour with Yelp Bro Omar S. His mission was to find the secret to baking great Philly Italian rolls and tomato pie that he could incorporate into his baking passions at home in San Diego. I tagged along as his driver and assistant in this adventure. I recommend you read his review in tandem with my own to attain the deeper appreciation of this effort. He has the hard facts and figures. I am more oriented toward the local color and enjoyment of the experience. Stephen Candeloro is the second generation owner and chief baker at New York Bakery. His father bought the business around 1940 from the founder of the business. He is still hard at work from early morning to mid-afternoon making the loaves, rolls and beautifully textured and crusty bread. He is also exceeding cordial and warmly welcoming to all who enter his domain with good intentions and curiosity. He came from the back of the shop to greet us when he heard his sister in law who runs the front of the house call him about two dudes who had questions for him. There he was, covered in flour dust, and his hair turned light gray from the giant dough mixer and ancient ovens, with pleasant greetings and his own sense of wondering what the hell we were after. Nonetheless, he showed us around - mixer, ovens and supplies of 50 lbs bags of industrial flour used in his operation. He even opened the door of the working oven to let us look within at the inferno and feel its fury on our faces. Then he really surprised us by pushing his 15' wooden pole into the other oven and lifting out a small round cheeseless pizza and placing it on a work table. Grabbing a small knife he quickly cut up the pie into several slices and offered them to us. Gingerly picking one piece up due to the temperature, I bit into a super crisp wedge. It was delightfully cracker-like on the undercarriage, with simple tomato sauce with minimal spicing on top. Loved it, and helped myself to a second. He was the only one to offer us a spontaneous taste of wares that day. That's me with my arm around his shoulders in the accompanying photos. I found his sandwich rolls to be very good, if a touch drier than Sarcone's. Regardless, they would make an excellent sleeve for any filling, hot or cold. I don't really fancy the standard cold Philadelphia tomato pies, so although I tried a thin slice of the thick sauced top and cold dough base, I found it more or less the same as all the others. Just not my cup of tea. Omar's review has more to say about that. To me, the visit to New York Bakery was the most fun and compelling of all the stops based on our interaction with Stephen and his obvious pride in his family business. He left a far stronger taste than any bread product I ate that day.
