"We compare all other bread in Philly to Mighty Bread's hearty sourdough loaves. This East Passyunk bakery started as a wholesale business before expanding with a dining area and a menu of sandwiches, quiche, good soups, and more. The tables get snatched up on weekends with people eating egg and cheeses with spicy conserva, or not-too-sweet pastries like caramel apple pie or orange ricotta tea cakes. If you want a seat, get there close-ish to 9am or at a weird time in the late afternoon." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"Mighty Bread in East Passyunk tops their sourdough tomato pie with basil. If that sounds special and fancy, that's because it is. The slightly acidic dough flavor balances out the sweet tomato sauce, and each slice has toasty air pockets inside. It’s one of those tomato pies where all of the ingredients go to the edge of the crust, so you’ll never have a boring bite. " - candis mclean
"Sourdough stars Mighty Bread Co. received nods in the outstanding bakery category." - Missy Frederick
"Handmade sourdough pretty much says it all about Mighty Bread Co. and owner Chris DiPiazza’s special baked goods. He worked in a rented space for a couple years before opening this South Philly bakery where he employs a natural fermentation process to create crusty sourdough in varieties that include seeded, chocolate, rustic olive, cheese, and more. Preorders can be placed a day in advance." - Dayna Evans
"Mighty Bread Company’s sourdough game is strong: The menu includes nine varieties plus baguettes, brioche, ciabatta and pastries, but what sets this bakery apart from the competition is a well thought-out collection of bread-friendly fare. Think fresh nectarine and apricot-vanilla jams, cultured butters, and Tuscan hazelnut chocolate spread. With country ham, domestic ’nduja and imported Iberico, plus Haven Hill Fromage Blanc and Hidden Hills Old Gold, all of the makings for a top-tier charcuterie board can be found at Mighty, as well. Preorder online." - Caroline Coral
