D. Palmieri's Bakery

Ordered an eggplant parmigiana today. I know it doesn’t sound like much; but my mom used to make the BEST!! I’ve tried other eggplant over the years only to be extremely disappointed!!! My first bite LITERALLY brought tears to my eyes!!! It tasted just like my mothers. Soooooo delicious. LOVED IT❤️❤️

Founded in 1905 by Domenico Palmieri, and since moved from Providence to Johnston, it is under the guidance of great-grandson Stephen and his two sons that D. Palmieri’s Bakery continues to offer sweets and savories to a loyal fanbase mid-pandemic. Nothing short of a community staple, the famous Baked Goods expanded to a full Deli and Market with prepared Foods after relocating, it was early Saturday morning that D. Palmieri’s was found fully stocked, two masked women behind the counter not exactly “pleasant” but efficient and largely what one expects from an Italian Bakery in the Northeast. Known for “Party Pizza,” available whole or by a bargain-priced “Strip,” it was outdoors at a local park that teeth pierced crispy Dough with lots of Garlic and Tomato Sauce, a Raspberry Twist to follow crumbling and expectedly dry, though once on the tongue plenty sweet with lingering notes of Butter. Not a space built for #instagram, the recipes all old-timey as they should be, fans of Zeppole will find D. Palmieri’s soft with quality Cream while the Pistachio Muffin and Lemon Cream Square should not be overlooked as each are well-crafted and full of natural flavor. Less impressed by Sfogliatelle, the Custard overcooked and freshness questionable as its bottom was soggy, better bites were found in a “Boston Cream Bomb” that sees fragrant Pudding atop delicate Sponge Cake coated in Dark Chocolate Ganache.

We bought a box of 20 Pizza strips added our own mozzarella put them in the oven for a few and it was the best pizza we have ever had better than any takeout I would highly recommend anybody looking for delicious cheese pizza where the crunch to go to the bakery and purchase a box of 20 you won't regret it!!!
