Iannelli's Brick Oven Bakery

South PhiladelphiaItalian, Bakery, Pizza$$-$$$

Since 1910, Iannelli’s Bakery in South Philadelphia has been turning out legendary Italian specialties like tomato pies from its old-school brick oven, now run by third-generation owner Vincent Iannelli. The shop opens its doors only a few days a year—which are announced on Vincent's Instagram—but fans can still get a taste by ordering his handmade pies and signature crab gravy online, which he makes and ships himself. With a no-compromise approach and a deep love for tradition, Iannelli keeps his family's legacy alive on his own terms.
