Jack's Italian Bakery

Jack's Italian Bakery is very recognizable off the street with the Italian flag colors on full display. The interior of the bakery is quite small - it only has enough space inside for a couple of customers. There are several small display cases with a small amount of various cookies and strudels, and one hot case with $1.75 slices of pizza. To be honest, the sweets and pizza don't seem to be very high volume, so I only went for their famous pepperoni roll.Double/Double Pepperoni Roll ($5) - Wow this thing is massive! Basically a huge 8 inch sub filled over the brim (literally - there were cheese shreds flying all over the bag) with pepperoni and shredded cheese. They offered to heat it up for me in the store, but I elected to take it home cold and heat up later. This thing barely fit in my toaster oven. Fluffy bread with salty and slightly spicy pepperoni and melty mozzerella. I ate a little over half and was pretty full. Delicious and cheap - what else could you ask from a pepperoni roll? You definitely can't go wrong with Jack's for the pepperoni rolls.

We ordered over 100 donuts for a recruiting event at work for over 100 newly graduated students to join our department for 6 month rotations. We had a mix of donuts came in these wide and bulky boxes. I had to enlist two colleagues to carry the boxes as they were rather awkward to carry any distance at all. Cinnamon donuts and filled donuts. It's good we had any snacks at all for these young recruits. The donuts are gone in less than an hour. I barely got a photo after they were put out. The cinnamon and filled were too bad and went the fastest. The plain and cinnamon are what I tend to gravitate towards to know if they are any good at all.

Small and not many choices but long johns were ok. Pleasant staff. Will try again. Nice old original bakery

Remembered going there when he was In Taylor my dad always got the Italian bread sliced and I always got the cinnamon rolls and the other donuts .

Pizza Rolls truly a Detroit thing invented for the Auto Worker's, that's a story for another day I know the history. Many don't know Jack's started in Taylor before moving to Melvindale. So 44 Year's going strong since 1978 a true Downriver Classic.Nestled in a small building with a green awning on Allen Rd. is a family-run bakery with a passionate following. It's called Jack's Italian Bakery, now operation run by Jack's son doing a great job. Always a group of Friendly helpful ladies and super great prices. The Pepperoni Roll with Cheese my Addiction that you must try one, they warm it for you. Just one is a full delicious meal for me it's huge. So get this a Roll, Big 24 oz Pepsi n Walnut Dessert Bar only $ 6.75 out the door OMG. Cheaper than a fast food combo and the Pepperoni is heavily packed inside with Cheese. Sure everyone has a favorite spot, been to them all. My favorite and your loss if you decide not to try. #jacksitalianbakery@jacksitalianbakery #youdontknowjack #pepperonirolls #pepperonincheese #itailianbakery #melvindale #downriverfriendseat #downriverclassic

Two words: pepperoni roll(If I may have more words: -the walnut cherry bars are so good if you like the taste of amaretto- the clothes pins cookies are so creamy and good, but a little on the sweet side.-they also have lasagna! It's pretty good, but a little bland.)

Delicious and cheap little bakery. Their pizza rolls here are to die for. The bread is light and fluffy, and feels like biting into a cloud at first. Then you hit the pocket of melted cheese and greasy pepperoni. Its one of those guilty pleasure train accidents that you want to avoid, but come at you like a delicious unavoidable mess.I also got a deep fried, sugar coated roll packed with cannoli filling that sent me to another level of diabeetus heaven. If you're on a diet, avoid this place, but if you want to have a moment of culinary clarity in your life, then you've found the spot!

I love their pepperoni rolls ~ every trip to MI we stop for a roll... or two. They are delicious: perfect cheese to pepperoni proportions. The price is spot on, where I'm from they probably charge twice the price. Worth the stop. Need to come back to check out their pastry selection next time!

What a disappointment. The Paczki I ordered were burnt and tasted like they had been made a week ago. They were very stale. I have purchased Paczki from there before and they were good. Never again.

I have had pepperoni rolls and pizza from several Italian bakeries and the food has never been spicy. Someone said to try Jack's. First and last time. I don't like spicy pizza. I can't understand why someone would make their pizza spicy. I'm not sure if it was the pepperoni or the sauce, but either way, I won't be back. I will just stay with the other bakeries that I've had pizza from. They have great flavor and not spicy.
