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 2026 Centurion Award for Best Bakery.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
