The Best Italian Bakeries In Every State

When it comes to national cuisines, Italians have a lot they can boast about. For one thing, there's pizza, one of the most popular meals in the world, per The Washington Post. And of course, we can't forget about pasta. Add to this a healthy dash of illustrious drinks, including the negroni, and it quickly becomes apparent that Italy is home to one of the world's most prominent cuisines.

In America, the love for Italian cuisine runs deep thanks to nearly 200 years of cultural integration (via National Geographic). So deep in fact that there are some 100,000 Italian restaurants operating in America. Many of these serve the two giants of Italian food — pizza and pasta. However, there is another facet of Italian cuisine that is also widely sold in the United States — baked goods.

Italians began baking bread more than 2,000 years ago, per Italy Magazine, and have since perfected the art. Yet, it isn't just bread that is found in Italian bakeries, but some of the world's favorite sweet treats, including the iconic sfogliatella (via Atlas Obscura). Italian bakeries have become institutions across America with these delightful specialties being found in just about every state. Read on to discover the very best Italian bakeries each state has to offer.

Given that Alabama is an extremely southern state, it might come as little surprise that there are not many prominent Italian bakeries within the area. This fact is attributable to the relatively small number of Italian immigrants that moved to the area during the 20th century, as reported in Italian Americana. However, there are plenty of fantastic bakeries within Alabama that produce the odd Italian product. Continental Bakery in Birmingham makes an exceptional naked Italian cheesecake, and Birmingham Breadworks bakes loaves of ciabatta, as well as hand-rolled Italian bread sticks.

Another state that understandably lacks Italian bakeries is Alaska. Yet, the overall bakery scene in the northernmost state is thriving, especially in Anchorage. Here, Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop is touted as the best in town (via TripAdvisor).

Furthermore, during his time at Fire Island, ex-head baker Carlyle Watt received a James Beard nomination for outstanding baker, per Anchorage Daily News.
