Cacia's Bakery — Restaurant in Philadelphia

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while now, I also have heard good things about it. So today, I decided to go because I was in the mood for a Stromboli which I heard was the best Stromboli in south Philly. Now mind you this is my first time at this establishment, so when I walked in I immediately went for a menu and the lady working behind the counter explain to me they didn’t do sandwiches at that location and whatever was out on display is what they had. OK I still decided to give it a try, I got a slice of tomato pie and a cheesesteak Stromboli. The lady just took the Stromboli and put it in a aluminum sleeve and wrapped the tomato pie and asked me if I like a bag, not once did she offer if I wanted the tomato pie heated up etc. before coming to this place I was under the impression that every Stromboli was made to order. I ate the cold slice of tomato pie in my car which was tasty, and notice some instruction on how to bake it in the oven. When I finally did bake the Stromboli it was literally one of the worst cheesesteak Stromboli I ever had, i’m normally used to red sauce inside my cheesesteak Stromboli the one from here didn’t have a hint of sauce. It was also dry, very doughy with hardly no steak no onions, I ate half of it and threw the other half in the trash very disappointed on my experience from here because I did have high expectations for this place. I also feel like the staff need to be more informative and accommodating, at least ask the customers if they like their food heated up, maybe in the future I will give this place another try, but I definitely will steer clear of the...

We tried the legendary Tomato Pie and my first impression was that it was a pizza missing cheese, excellent but incomplete. However, as the taste of the sauce lingered, I started to really notice the complexity of the fresh herbs mixed with the sweet tangy tomato. It was one of the best tomato sauces I had ever had and it was atop freshly made bread that was both doughy and a bit crispy, much like a focaccia. Before we knew it, it was all gone and we were aware that we had eaten something excellent. It was a mistake to think of it as a cheeseless pizza, although people looking for something like that will be quite pleased. Instead, think of when you've seemingly finished a great dish with marinara and you have before you a plate or bowl filled with leftover sauce and you scoop that up with bread, hopefully fresh and doughy, in order to extend the dish's delicious life until there is no red left and you must finally relinquish the experience to the realm of memories. The Tomato Pie is THAT experience.

*Warning, the pie gets cold quick. It's still...

I was born n raised in South Philly... I LOVE THEIR BREAD.. i have tasted other bakery's breads and nothing comes even close..I moved to Florida and tried to get a good sandwich.. the breads and pizza's out there are made with their sulfer water.. they have hard water..so basically.
