Agostini Bakery - Old Forge, Pennsylvania

Christopher B.

I'm from Staten Island N.Y., and I'm 56 years old. My wife and I moved to Old Forge Pennsylvania on Monday October 16th, 2023.
I've been a milk route truck driver, a Sanitation worker for NYC, and a Commercial Sanitation Route driver; I had many Straight Truck, Air Brakes, CDL Driving jobs ew my life including dump trucks. I KNOW NYC.
I had apartments in Brooklyn as well as Staten Island. I worked in every Borough including Yonkers, Westchester County, and many parts of New Jersey, where I also had quite a few apartments over the years.
My point?
Being Italian/American and submerged in the heritages culture, I'm VERY familiar with GENUINELY AUTHENTIC Italian Breads; and BOTH the right and wrong types of baking them.
Agostini's Bread?
PHENOMENAL!!!
I was shocked at the old fashioned authentic LOOK, TEXTURE, and TERRIFIC TASTE, of the Two different large loaves that I bought:
Sesame Seeded Twisted loaf; AND, a Dark Brown loaf of Russian Rye bread.
Both, EXCELLENT!
I met Rita in the store front and it was like stepping into Cammerieri's Bakery from the Movie 🎥 "MoonStruck ."
Or Addeo's Bakery in the Bronx.
This 100 year old plus business was purchased by Rita and her husband 2 years ago. They are carrying on the tradition of superior Italian bread and more, and they are carrying the TORCH.
I dipped a piece of that Twisted loaf into Extra Virgin Olive oil that was sprinkled with Cracked Black pepper and Cracked Sea Salt, and was drizzled over Fresh Homemade Mozzarella topped with Garden Basil leaves and Juicy Grape Tomatoes. The Bread was DIVINE!
Dinner was served with a Barbecued Cheese and Parsley Sausage Ring from Staten Island N.Y., with Homemade Red and Yellow Roasted Bell Peppers, and Green Poblano Roasted Peppers marinating in Olive oil and garden parsley and slices of Raw Garlic cloves.
Along with a homemade Pesto my wife makes to perfection, Agostini Bread was a perfect accompaniment to our dinner table. Some home made Sangria and our table was furnished with all of the BEST!
Thank you, Agostini Bakery!
You have a new permanent patron; ME!
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, ✝🙏🕊💞🥖🍷✝

There’s a reason why nearly every place in the region that serves pizza (and doesn’t make their own dough) uses their shells. In fact, Agostini’s shells are the main reason why so many bars and restaurants are able to serve quality pizza in the region. They also make it easy to make great pizza at home. Very good and inexpensive.

The premade pizza shells I bought at Price Chopper. They're without a doubt the best I've ever had. I followed the directions on the package adding my own cheese, sauce and toppings. In the oven at 375. Wow, simply amazing. If you make your own pizza at home you have to try the Agostini crusts. Crispy, light, perfect.

Owner was unbelievable. Had a coupon through local flavor that expired but value of $15 was good until 2026. She refused to honor it. No indoor dining so we didn't use it. Very unreasonable!!

The products are just delicious. The pizza shells are sold in local stores, but if I have the opportunity to get them straight from the shop, I believe that is the best and freshest taste.

They have always been nice to me as a customer as well.

They reopened in 2023 and are bigger and better than before. This bakery supply’s the area business with pizza shells and every kind of bread, rolls, buns, etc. It’s Old Forge’s true secret. They supply from Nanticoke to Dunmore.
The pros Their pizza kit contains 2 shells, sauce, & cheese for $16 -~>this can be bought in select grocery stores like shiels sure save in wilkesbarre
The cons no way of buying fresh 5am bread you have to wait till 8am
