Italo’s Bakery

I love their Sicilian pizza. I used to grab a slice sometimes on my way home from school as a kid. It still takes exactly the same and is still inexpensive. At $ 1 a slice you can’t go wrong. Tastes great cold, actually.

They sell the best Portuguese rolls! If you go there in the morning you can get them hot off the oven.
My dad is there every morning to get the hot portuguese rolls!
They also sell other great breads, but rolls are my favorite!

What a gem of a spot! I live right down the street from this place and go for fresh bread frequently. Awesome breads!

Wonderfully fresh Italian breads. I remember as a kid visiting my grandparents in Dobbs Ferry NY and the aroma that emanated from the bakeries downtown. When I have difficulty getting to sleep this is what I think of… that same intoxicating aroma can be found when you open the door here. That aroma hits you and you know you found someplace special.

Fantastic cheese pizza, and they’re only one dollar. I was recommended this place by someone from Vernas donuts in North Cambridge just now. Say with the day off so I thought I’d give this place a try. Very good food. I got two slices of cheese pizza for a dollar each, and one slice of the vegetable pizza with onions and peppers.

Fantastic neighborhood bakery. They always have the freshly made bread and other ingredients galore, for those who want to take a crack at it themselves at home. Their pizza’s are even freshly made first thing in the morning everyday.

I’m a sucker for square spizza sold in bakeries. This bakery is cute and has reasonable prices. The guy in front of me got tons of cookies and breads and paid $ 8.
I think the pizza is pretty good but a little too much sauce for me. I scraped a lot of it off as I ate it. I would come back though because its close to my job and it was tasty. Also the onion and green pepper pizza is delicious. I ate it cold and the flavors tasted amazing.

Very good bread — best I’ve found in Medford so far! Pizza is also very good in a European style. The bread freezes easily for superb bread or toast later. Excellent bakery and known by the locals as the place to go for bread in the area. Staff are fun too.

That’s it. I’ve decided, I am never getting pizza elsewhere again.
I go tanning across the street from Italo’s so I’ve always seen it every time but never thought to go in until just the other day. The selection of Italian goodies, pastas and such are wonderful and so was the woman behind the counter.
I had planned on ordering a pizza to head to my Nina’s house for lunch after I went tanning, so I ordered before I went across the way. I got a half a tray and it was only $ 9. Amazing price.
She cut it up into smaller pieces for me as well, score.
So, I walk into my Nina’s house and she all of a sudden lights up and is so visibly and verbally excited I got the pizza from Italo’s. She starts going back to when she used to go there way back when and we sit down to eat, I take my first bite and I fell in love.
Italo’s stole my heart as well as my taste buds. I have decided I cannot order from another pizza joint again.

Nana used to send me to Italo’s for the bread. She would be happy to know I stil go to Italo’s for some of the best home made bread around.
The sliced, seeded scali cannot be beat!

so tasty. go there almost every week.
Still not convinced it’s not a mob front though.

Great bread! Super friendly service! Cash only.

italo’s bakery has great portuguese rolls. pastry there is ok. its close to home so i can walk there. very convinient :)

Lousy, cardboard bread. Obviously liked by people who don’t know what good Italian bread tastes like. Snotty staff, as well.

The bread is the best here — as well as the pizza. The only reason is gets 4 stars instead of five is that there are two other great bakeries down the street. But I would definitly recommend them! Very classic, old Italian style bakery.

Italo’s is great. I love me a great-​traditional bakery… it seems like so many are leaving. Please don’t!
Italos has great breads (nothing completes a great roll better than mortadella and mozzeralla cheese ;-) With all shapes and sizes, it is a great choice to pick up your daily bread and/​or sandwich rolls. I know they have pizza as well, never had it though.
Enjoy!

I live in an Italian neightborhood where there is no lack of tasty fresh baked bread, and I think by now, I have had bread at all the major players in the area.
Italo’s is by far the best bread bakery here.
Everything tastes good, and I especially like to buy the mini rolls here so I can make sanwiches at home.
I also really love buying fresh dough too, the staff is nice and they will take the time to explain to a confused chinese boi like me, why bread needs to come in so many shapes :)

Hands down the best bread around!!! I don’t even live in the area any more and my family STILL sends me out of my way on holidays to pick up some of their rolls! They sell bags of their dough for something like .75 cents. Great for making pizza and calzones at home.

Excellent fresh bread and yummy cookies! The only draw back is that it’s cash only. They’re Portugese bread is delicious as well!
Just had to add that Italo’s sells sicilian style pizza as well and that it’s better than any other sicilian pizza that I’ve had. I also can’t complain that you can get 2 pieces of pizza and a soda for under $ 4.

You need to go to Italo’s and buy some bread! The French bread is good, the italian bread is delicious. I’ve been know to eat a whole loaf in one sitting.
