BreadWorks

This is a winner. Now I'm old school, Mancini's. That brand goes back to my childhood. But I have liked Breadworks since they came on the scene back in the 70's. Finally my schedule fit with theirs because I wanted to go to the factory which has just tons of choices. I bought so much, only limited by the space in my freezer. I have 6 HUGE sub rolls which will be great in my panini maker, knot rolls for little sandwiches, a baguette and a small round bread. I have since discovered they have 50% off remaining bread an hour before closing. Missed that but won't on my next visit to the Burgh. In the meantime, I will make room in my freezer. So much to choose from and Breadworks is A plus. The only negative is I want to try their holiday breads and I am never in Pittsburgh on holidays. Check out their website to see what is offered, daily and at certain times of the year. Some is pre-packaged. Some are in bins that an employee puts in a bag for you. Friendly service. My understanding is cash under $10. And they open at 8 not 7. Right around the corner from The Mexican War Streets.I love Pittsburgh. I just wish I could have brought more of it back ohio.

Thank you, fellow Yelpers, for telling me about this business! :) BreadWorks bakes over 60 types of breads for restaurants and consumers. Their breads may be purchased directly at the bakery or from certain grocery stores. They donate all unsold bread to area shelters and food kitchens. Varieties of breads include baguette, brioche, chocolate-cherry babka, ciabatta, focaccia, French, hoagie, hotdog, Italian, kaiser, marble, multigrain, potato rolls, pumpernickel, pumpkin, raisin, rye, split rolls, tuscan, wheat rolls, and many others.My husband and I visited BreadWorks on a Saturday in the late morning. We parked our vehicle in a free fenced-in parking lot. The bakery's shelves were still full of many types of breads. I selected a pumpernickel loaf and a rustic raisin loaf, and my husband chose mini baguettes and large split rolls. The prices were reasonable, and our total cost was about $12. BreadWorks does accept credit cards for purchases that are over $10, so we used our credit card to pay. The employees spoke very courteously to us. They carefully bagged our breads. The cashier took time to ring up our purchase, but she did so accurately. The employees thanked us. We even had a little giggle when an employee handed me my bag of breads and I accidentally pulled her glove off her hand and walked away with it! My husband and I now have lots of bread to eat this week! The breads look, smell, and taste very fresh and delicious. I will eat my breads plain, and my husband will make sandwiches out of his breads.

Breadworks makes the BEST bread in Pittsburgh. They really have every type of bread you could want and it's so cheap. In fact, it's dirt cheap (half off) from 3:30-4 (time they close). Everything is good here but my favorites are the sourdough, including the mini loaves which make the perfect bread bowls as pictured! I also enjoy any of the rustic Italian loaves, the baguettes, and any of the "sticks" which I literally just buy for a snack because they're so damn good. They always sell out of the salt sticks but the everything sticks are amazing as well. Next on my list is trying their focaccia which seems to be all the rage these days. It's also worth mentioning that I never have a stomach ache after eating this bread like I do with some other bread makers in town. The recipes are as simple and pure as it gets, and I love that. Bread you can feel good about eating. Shop small and make this your go-to bread destination!

BEST -BREAD -IN-THE-CITY-HANDS-DOWN! Breadworks is located on the north side and with a nice parking lot.Everything they sell is so fresh and the place smells so good when you walk in. Your greeted by the friendly staff ready to help you with whatever you needCarb lovers beware- their Asiago bread is to die for! Ohh and if you are an "everything" fan .. the sell everything salt sticks! Don't forget their raisin bread too! All so good! Hurry in here - you not be disappointed!

Just when I thought Breadworks had peaked, Focaccia happened! Every night of the week, they make different specialty Focaccia that will knock your socks off. For example, Jalapeno and Cheddar Focaccia on Wednesday night. Fiesta Focaccia on Tuesday. This stuff is outrageously good, really gourmet, and very satisfying. You can add ingredients if you choose, just heat it up in the oven for a few minutes. Oh, I still love the other breads. And they removed the $10 minimum on credit cards. You can also have bread delivered, or pick it up curbside. I don't care for the shorter hours they instituted for Covid, but I guess I can't have everything.

I found out yesterday, that bread is half off after 3:30pm (get in line at 3:20)... and this bread is delicious. Anything left over after the sale will be donated to the hungry ... Cheers!!!!!

Without fail, every time I visit BreadWorks, it's like being in a candy store. It is a oasis of carbs. A palace of gluten. And if you're from Pittsburgh, BreadWorks is a cultural staple. From deli's to restaurants, you can trip and fall into a fresh loaf of bread basically anywhere in Pittsburgh. And there's a reason why, it's just good damn bread. But for me, I need to get the goods right from the source. BreadWorks retail shop on the North Side. Tucked into an unassuming part of the neighborhood, you can find the freshest product in town. Their warehouse has a small area where you can stop by and get anything you need. Dinner rolls. Sourdough. Salt sticks. You name it, I'm sure they've baked it.There are two true standouts in the BreadWorks lineup. First is the focaccia. BreadWorks does it right. Their focaccia oozes olive oil and features oodles of sliced green olives. You don't need to dip this bread in anything because each crusty bite is perfectly flavored. While the focaccia from BreadWorks doesn't need any more flavor, I will say that my family always makes it into a thick, crusty pizza. Just make some sauce, toss some cheese on, and boom you're basically your own pizzeria (Shout out to my Beto's fans who don't even melt the cheese!) The second all-star offered by BreadWorks is the wheat bread. Whether you want toast or the best sandwich, build your meal around this bread. Too often wheat bread is either flavorless or too grainy. Not this loaf. It's light and fluffy with so much taste that you don't need butter when it's toasted. You just get all that natural goodness.Finally, I will say they have some of the best customer service. Before big holidays in Pittsburgh the line to get your bread can be daunting. The most recent time I dropped in for bread, they kept the line moving and created a friendly atmosphere. I even chatted with the owner because I was wearing a green St. Louis Cardinals hat. He thought it was Seton LaSalle. Had a good laugh, and he was super friendly. He even let me jump the line and gave me a free mini italian loaf! That's how you win repeat customers.

Fantastic! High quality, no preservatives. They sometimes have onion loaf bread that is terrific.

Great bakery with lots to pick from. Way better than grocery stores. I wish they had better hours.

Bread was exceptionally good omg and the prices are wonderful. Very fresh bread. Forget Giant Eagle and that stale bread ya better come here
