New York Bakery — Restaurant in Philadelphia

This is classic South Philly - big ol oven built into the wall , multi generation family operation , such a cool spot. I went for my first time and the owner Steve could tell I was into bread and pizza and history and stuff and invited me back to check out how he bakes everything and showed me all the old machines, the mixer, the dough separator. I haven’t had an experience like this visiting a food establishment in ages . The pride and labor of love Steve has for this are evident in all he does. His colleague Albin was awesome too! Best tasting tomato pie...

We purposely stopped here for the square tomato pie. No place to eat inside, so we got a half pie to go. It was served warm and was a bit more on the doughy side than I expected. There was no cheese (that I could see or taste), and the minimal amount of sauce had a good sweetness to it. A very good, unique neighborhood tomato pie! Definitely give it a try if you're stopping by New...

Awesome, awesome experience here and delicious tomato pie! We met the owner while we were eating our pie outside and he was incredibly kind and generous... it's obvious that he is well loved in this neighborhood and it's no wonder this place has been in business for so many decades. I will definitely be back here for a tomato pie fix the next time I come to Philly!...
