Best tomato pie around. excellent spinach bread and pepperoni bread. It's open until 5 most days, but I usually call ahead to reserve.

They also have cheesesteak bread, tomato and garlic. The owner and the people who work there are great. Everything is made right there.

Their breads are fantastic - the pepperoni and sausage breads are my favorite.

if you want something specific, it's best to call ahead - when you walk in, you, basically, choose from what they have on hand.

they do "specials" for eagles games and holiday weekends (again, call in your order).

As stated above, their tomato pie is exceptional.

The breads travel well - are great cold and re-heated. I took a bunch of them up to State College for a PSU tailgate and they were a big hit!

You would need something good after the last couple of seasons!

As Madgirl pointed out, if you want something in particular, you should definitely call ahead (especially during football season) or you'll get turned away. It's like Sarcone's in that respect.

Marchiano's has the best tomato pie in the area plus they make specialty breads similar to calzones. Pepperoni or steak & cheese, tomato & spinach, 'oreganato' and pepper & egg and others.
It's GREAT !
