I am so disappointed.... I have been ordering your sandwich ring for over 25 years. I always made two sandwich rings for my daughter's birthday parties. There was between 12 to 20 people. It was always a hit and there was leftovers. Well, not anymore. My husband bought one yesterday and it was the same size. However, the top and bottom of the bread was equal to half of the old size. So sad. How much does bread cost??? I gave it two stars because it still taste good. But, you need to eat triple the amount. read more

I can't believe that in all the years that I've lived in Brighton Heights that I've never been to the Breadworks! I remember my grandmother going there every week when was a child. They have such a fantastic selection of freshly baked breads at reasonable prices. You will more than likely leave with more bread than you planned! We got the marble rye which was buy one get one free (BONUS!), and a loaf of Italian bread as well. The bread is delicious and very fresh. We devoured almost an entire loaf of the marble rye in less than 2 days! This place has the best bread that I've tasted in a long time and we will definitely go back. I can't wait to try their focaccia next! It's worth the visit whether you live nearby or across town. Highly recommend! read more

The best bread in Pittsburgh. And not to mention the best salt sticks ever!!!!! All the employees are great!!!! Especially the drivers.

How have I not reviewed Breadworks yet?! Shame on me. I love coming here for fresh bread--the only down side is that I feed two people, and most of the loaves that they sell are for at least four people, so I end up eating at least two servings of bread with dinner. Can't fault them for that, though... They have french loaves, breadsticks, specialty focaccias...and I am just addicted to their salt sticks. SO GOOD! They are cash only, but you don't need much, because I have never spent more than $5 here. (Yes, you read that correctly. The bread is AMAZING and at least half off from what you'd pay in the strip for the same loaf.) If you're anywhere close, make sure you try it! read more

What can I say? If you like bread, you HAVE to visit their store. And once you do, it'll become a regular thing! The bread is baked to perfection and is simply delicious! Particular favorites are: * Specialty Focacia's (different every day) * Asiago Mini Crocodile (perfect amount of cheesiness) * Rustic Walnut Raisin (great toasted for breakfast) * Raisin Grain and Pumpernickel Raisin Rolls (I can't stop eating them) * Sour #2 (Get it sliced or slice it yourself for FANTASTIC sandwiches) The store is open until 6pm during the week and starts marking down what's left on the shelves at 5:30pm. But go earlier or even order ahead for the best selection! They also have weekend hours, but I've not been to the store on the weekend myself. Oh, and what they don't sell before closing? They donate to local food banks so even the poor can sometimes have a taste of ambrosia! WARNING: The retail store only takes cash, so plan ahead! read more

Vietnamese people LOVE french baguettes. It has something to do with French occupation resulting in my older relatives knowing how to speak French and eating my curry with bread. (Grammar-wise, why are all my relatives eating my curry? I refuse to fix the previous sentence.) I went on a journey through Pittsburgh in search of a good baguette. Of course, being a student, my first destinations were Giant Eagle, Whole Foods, and Trader Joes. After I finished sobbing with swollen gums, curled up at the bottom of my bathtub, I was determined to not give up. Then I found the outdoor bread stand at Strip District, Allegro, and BreadWorks Bakery. All three make fantastic bread and specialize in their own things, but the award for best baguette goes to BreadWorks Bakery. For now... DUN DUN DUN. So of course, with every bakery, there is the option of buying and eating right away. But there is also the option for half-baked baguettes at BreadWorks, where the bread is not fully finished and you finish the rest of the baking yourself. Now, if you hear yourself saying, "Why would I do the rest of the job for them?" I don't want to be your friend. Who would not want freshly baked bread at home? Ugh, who are you? Anyways, I buy a bag of those, put it in my freezer, then finish it off in the oven whenever I need my baguette fix. (Seriously, I love this bread. My girlfriend is worried about my waistline). So what makes a good baguette? It has to be crunchy and thin on the outside, but delicate, light, and soft on the inside. You don't fight the bread when you eat it (and it shouldn't win, for that matter... your poor gums after sub-par bread); instead, it should break and tear easily. The bread here has those qualities. The rest of the breads are good. There are tons of varieties. The mini rolls are adorable. And I LOVE BREAD. Besides the delicious bread, this stuff is also cheap, so huge bonus of awesomeness right there. read more

Great bread and excellent customer service! We went in wanting bread to take back home with us, but we didn't know what kind to get. We decided to get a couple of rolls and one of the ladies let us have three full size rolls just as samples. I ate the raisin rye right away and it was excellent, I'm sure it would be even better toasted. I'd definitely buy my bread here if we lived in Pittsburgh. read more

We didn't order directly from them, so I'm not ranking any lower than three stars. HOWEVER, our wedding catering sourced their bread from Breadworks and it was quite unimpressive. In fact, many of our guests identified it as the one thing they would have changed about our meal... Not sure if it was because our reception was on a Saturday and maybe the hotel only takes deliveries on weekdays or something, but it just wasn't fresh-tasting and certainly wasn't on-par with say, Mancini's. read more

I went there first time and immediately "fall in love" with this place! This place makes fresh bread all kinds of types. Their bread fresh and delicious! Their workers nice and helpful. Definitely coming back! read more

I can't believe these guys have been around since 1979, and I only heard of them recently because a caterer I hired used Breadworks. This is some of the best bread in town! And, such a variety, too! I make a detour on my way home about once a week to get something special (and it's all special). Their knot rolls are particularly fabulous. I highly recommend them if you're having friends for dinner. They'll worship you after eating these little gems. I am also very partial to their rye, pumpernickel, and marble rye. All fantastic! I can't wait to try everything they make. And, it's not expensive at all. It costs less than the factory-produced bread you get at the grocery store. read more

This place doesn't have a lot of space to stand in & is cash only. Other than that, I really enjoy it. The prices are beyond reasonable for fresh baked bread. The woman running the front counter gave me 2 samples of bread with my purchase which I thought was very nice. I will definitely be back to try their foccaccia because it looked very delicious. read more

The Go To Bread Bakery. Always fresh! Superb Selection! Quality unsurpassed! I have been going here for years, and referred many friends and family to the BreadWorks! Their motto is fresh daily! No preservatives, dense, chewy, gives one a satisfied feeling when eating bread of this great quality. For holidays, or anytime, I call in advance, order, and pick it up! I always take breads to the homes I'm invited to for dinners. My dinner hosts knows this & waits for the grand selections of breads that I bring to their table. Only rave reviews proclaimed along with requests for BreadWorks phone number! They even delivered my order, bags upon bags, to my son's graduation party....how great was that! Then everyone had a request for any left overs! Besides all of the above, it's "Home Town" made and this company donates to my organizations that help feed the needy. I will always support products made in Pittsburgh; especially a company that gives back generously to their home town! Try it once, you'll go back over and over. Customer service is the friendliest I've seen! Don;t forget to try their specialty breads. My fav, chocolate chuck bread, order ahead though, or it is gone before it hits their shelves. read more

The BreadWorks bakery is the best! It's not a "bakery" of the type that makes cupcakes, this is bread-only. It's serious bread, with artisan loaves of sourdough, rye, pumpernickel, French and so forth. They'll slice the softer ones like pumpernickel on request but not a hard-crusted bread such as sourdough. I've had great breads in San Francisco, NYC, Paris, Montreal and other major urban centers, this is the only place in Pittsburgh that is up to those standards. It's very similar quality-wise to Iggy's in Cambridge MA if you're familiar with that. read more

No frills, no fake smiling employees, just REALLY GREAT BREAD. Fresh, authentic, all natural ingredients and very good prices. I regularly buy 2 baguettes here for a $1.25 or $1.50. Lots of rolls, breadsticks, rye, wheat and focaccia. It's a small store at the bakery, prices are a lot lower than at Wholey's or somewhere else in the city. Many restaurants use breadworks. Great stuff. read more

I'm a huge fan of Breadworks. It's about a mile from my front door, so I visit there about once a week to stock up. Since discovering this place I haven't bought bread at any other store or bakery. First, it smells AMAZING when you walk in the very tiny storefront. Depending on the day of the week and time of day, this place gets crowded! The best time to go is right when they open at 6:30 am, it's the only way to assure that they haven't run out of your favorites. This happens often, especially with the whole wheat, which is downright incredible. They have everything from smaller hard rolls, sourdough and salt sticks, baguettes, larger loaves of pretty much every kind of bread you can think of. They even have featured breads daily, such as raisin walnut and cheddar focaccia. And the best part is, it's CHEAP!! Crazy cheap! Only negative is the employees are not thrilled to be there as a whole, most seem almost annoyed most of the time, especially if you don't know what you want immediately upon walking in the door. It's a small price to pay to get in on the Breadworks action! read more

Who doesn't love good, well baked bread? Bread Works is very good bread in dozens of varieties. I'm partial to their old fashioned salt sticks with caraway seeds, a long time Pittsburgh tradition. Great dinner rolls, loaves, sausage rolls, and lots of other items. This place also delivers to local restaurants, so you've probably had their products and not known. read more

BreadWorks provided a variety of bread products for an event of ours. 100 people. Great bread! A Pittsburgh gem!

I've been eating this bread for 20 years or so . I still travel the 60 miles or so from ' America's County ' to get it on occasion . My only complait is that they only make their CORNED RYE on Saturdays , and it's so dense they can't use their slicer on it . Buy 8-10 loaves and freeze what you can't eat in one week ... read more

Amazing bread. We make trips to BreadWorks part of our weekly rituals. Seven-grain is a fav. Good Tuscan, raisin, focaccia. And the baguettes are the best in town. Some of us are addicted to the salt sticks. There's a discount for seniors and half-priced everything at 5:30. We adore this establishment! read more

Going to the store is highly addictive. And bring a kid with you, they will give them bread! Great place.

The bread here is some of the best I've ever had, and that is coming from a bread aficionado. The prices seem fair as well, although I quite dislike that they take cash only. read more

Best in Pittsburgh hands down. Pumpernickel raisin rolls are my favorite, the ciabatta is awesome...salt sticks too. They have just about anything you could think of and it's always bakes fresh that morning. read more

Bread works is really good and you can get really good rooks you should go there it is in Pittsburgh PA

Back up to par. The Rustic 2lb loaf is the best. Outside extra crisp with a light chewy crumb. The little round raisin is delicious, and I love the sausage rolls and small kaisers. Everything is really good. I love that they give their leftover bread at the end of the day to homeless shelters and food banks. read more

Incredible bread here! They don't use preservatives so you better make sure you eat it up fast or have room in the freezer. They have a large selection of breads. The daily rotation of Focaccia is something worth checking out. I think Monday is pepperoni focaccia day read more

Best bread in Pittsburgh! Naturally made, from flour, yeast and salt. NO YUCK STUFF in their bread such as bromium or Lystne. We alway buy in big quantities and freeze them. When the bread taws, it is fresh as the day it was baked. I strongly Recommend to bread lovers :) Many types to select from. read more
