The West Virginia Restaurant Bakery With Italian Roots That Date Back To 1914

Way back more than a century ago, in the year 1914, a brand new bakery opened in Clarksburg, West Virginia: Tomaro’s Bakery. It brought authentic Italian flavors all the way across the ocean to Appalachia.

And what a success that bakery has turned out to be!

Decades later, it's the oldest Italian bread bakery in West Virginia, and it still serves up some of the best breads and baked goods to be found in the whole Mountain State.

And Tomaro's hasn't forgotten its Italian roots. The current owners, fourth-generation bakers who grew up in this very bakery that was founded by their great grandfather, still coordinate certain supplies, like anise seed at Easter time, to be sent all the way from Italy by members of their extended family who still live on the Italian Peninsula.

That's just one of the reasons Tomaro's Bakery bakes up the finest in Italian breads, buns, pizza shells, and pepperoni rolls in Clarksburg.

Another reason is the top secret family recipes, unaltered since 1914, that the bakery still relies on. That means the bread tastes just as good today as you remember it tasting in years past!

That also explains the long lines that can often be spotted leading from the front door of Tomaro's Bakery on down the sidewalk. These are people who know that this bread is worth waiting in line for!

In addition to selling products at the bakery's storefront, Tomaro's Bakery also supplies local grocery stores and restaurants with their signature, delicious baked goods.

So watch for the distinct Tomaro's packaging, and grab a loaf of their delicious bread next time you have the chance.

Already a regular customer of Tomaro's and need some fresh inspiration? Turn a loaf of Tomaro's round bread into an ever-popular crowd pleaser, the garlic bread blossom.

And if you're worried about what to buy when you visit, just know that it's all good. You can't go wrong.
