Best Italian Bakery in Philadelphia · Philadelphia, PA
Termini Brothers Bakery has been South Philadelphia's Italian pastry landmark since 1921, when brothers Giuseppe and Gaetano Termini opened on 8th Street. Its cannoli — shells fried and filled to order — are a Philadelphia rite, alongside pignoli cookies, sfogliatelle and holiday coffee-ring cakes.
A century and three generations on, the marble counters and hand-lettered boxes remain — earning Termini the 2025 Centurion Award for Best Bakery.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Termini Brothers Bakery cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
