Marchiano's Bakery has occupied Umbria Street in Manayunk since 1982, founded by Frank and Kathy Marchiano on recipes drawn from Frank's mother's southern Italian cooking. It started in the family's basement before growing into a neighborhood fixture, with recipes now passed down across four generations.
The bakery is best known for its tomato pie — thick with sauce, crisped underneath, finished with a dusting of Parmesan. The rest of the lineup includes stuffed specialty breads packed with meats, vegetables, and cheese, along with hoagies and take-and-bake pizzas, including a Friday pie made from Mama Nunziata's recipe.
Marchiano's has built a loyal following over the decades — regulars point to consistent quality and value, and the bakery has counted Frank Sinatra and The Temptations among its past customers. It remains a cash-only, family-run spot in the heart of Manayunk.
