Mancini's Bread Company

Short and sweet review because it was a fast experience. Stopped in as I know a pepperoni roll is a Pittsburgh staple, and I Mancini's had great reviews on Yelp!It's a small bakery and it was crowded when we stopped by on a Saturday early afternoon. They kept the line moving and were handing out samples of a delicious pumpkin roll! Service was fast and friendly. The pepperoni roll was bigger than I expected, and we opted to get some marinara sauce with it. It was hot and delicious!! My husband and I both enjoyed it.

Ventured in here, as it is a staple famous local bakery (and one that notably supplies Primanti's and many other local restaurants), and it was open when I was here around lunchtime (they close in the late afternoon). The breads here are all extremely fresh and they have a lot of selections. My only critique is that they charged me 25 cents to slice a loaf of bread. I think it is an extremely petty thing for a bakery to do to its customers. Sliced bread is no longer a novelty, despite the saying. I hope they will rethink this. (And even explain why this even is a thing. It is a bakery and it took them an extra minute? Is that why?)I think I would still come back to try some other offerings that they have here that I haven't yet tried. I won't ever lose my taste for good ole bread.

Best breads in the city of Pittsburgh reside here in Mancini's. Highly recommended. Cute bake shop with many options. Smells incredible.

NOTHING like the inviting smell of fresh, warm, REAL bread... I pop into the shop when I can because it is worth the trip!

I know a lot about Mancini's. From the time I was a youngster in McKees Rocks, I've bought and enjoyed the bread there. I was sent to church every Sunday and given money for the collection plate and for the bakery.Our personal family favorite was always the twist, and even after I moved beyond living with family, that choice remained. Later in my life, the bakery being open 24 hours was a great thing for me, since I was a DJ and often didn't get done until midnight or later.I can't tell you how many times I would buy a loaf of hot twist and eat the soft center on the way home. In the morning, I would attack the crust with butter and eggs over easy. I moved across town about 20 years ago and really missed the hometown places I had grown up with.When I found that a Mancini's much closer to me had opened, I planned a trip there.I gave up driving a few years ago and can't get around on a whim as I used to. I do a lot of volunteer work, and a considerable amount of that happens at the convention center downtown. With my power chair, Mancini's is within my traveling distance.I will admit to going a little crazy when I first found the place.I got a full loaf of twist, a mini loaf and salt sticks, along with a pepperoni roll for David. I don't do pepperoni any longer. As I've gotten older, I've found that the heartburn isn't worth the flavor.Over the next few days, I ate all 6 of the salt sticks, the mini loaf and nearly the whole loaf of twist. Even though they weren't out of the oven warm, they were as good as I remembered. I can see myself making the trip to the strip just for the bread.The place is set up well and the line moves quickly. It was pretty busy when I was there, (on the weekend), and I think I'd prefer to go at a time that wasn't as busy, since it looks like they've added some newer items I've never seen before. I saw that they make a Pittsburgh favorite, chipped ham sandwich, that I'd like to try, but it is only offered on Saturdays. I have to admit that I liked the fast service and although the prices seemed to be much higher than I remembered, it was worth every cent.I can remember making the trip to the bakery around Christmas. My relatives ignored a lot of my food, and I'm a great cook, prefering just the Mancini's with a little butter. My whole order, (and I bought a lot), was nothing but crumbs at the end of Christmas day.If you haven't tried the twist, you don't know what you're missing.There is nothing like a ham sandwich on thick siced twist bread.I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

Ah Mancini's Bread a family tradition! When we would come to visit da Burgh my Uncle John would go up to the McKees Rocks location or this one to get Bread.I remember smelling this bread being toasted and it brought back so many pleasant memories. So while we were recently in town I was gonna just pick some up at Giant Eagle but since we were on The Strip and saw this location I NEEDED TO GO IN.A lot of locals go and outta Townes's as they buy a bunch to take home and freeze for another time. I just picked up some bread, sliced and a small focaccia with cheese.The bread is worth it as is everything else.. that small/mini focaccia was delicious. The salty, herby goodness of this and the hit of that cheese hit the spot.This is carb heaven and worth it..It's a small location but it has what you need.It's on The Strip parking is catch as catch can or ask locals about it.Go get you some stuff you will be glad you did.

Came for the pepperoni rolls. Left with two delicious ones plus marinara. Yeah, this is a cut and dry establishment, but you get some top notch local eats. Would recommend.

The best bread in Pittsburgh! Fresh from the bakery is amazing but the quality of this bread is consistent even if you buy elsewhere. And how cool is this Snowman!

We tried Mancini's for the first time last weekend and were very impressed. We got the pull-apart rolls, the focaccia, and the pepperoni rolls. The pepperoni rolls stayed warm for a good hour until we got home. Loved the sauce that came with it too! Great purchase all around and we will definitely be back.

I haven't lived in Pittsburgh for 40 years, but to this day my sister and I *still* talk about eating fresh baked bread from Mancini's.
