Shadyside · $ · No. 26 of 157 overall
Home of the Burnt Almond Torte, and it lives up to the legend. It's a bakery, so set expectations. But that cake is special.
Order: Burnt Almond Torte

Strip District bakery counter doing tomato pie the old way: room temperature, heavy on the sauce, no cheese to speak of. Buy more than you think you need.
Order: A square of tomato pie

Squirrel Hill · $$ · No. 49 of 157 overall
A genuine French patisserie on Murray Ave where the macarons look like jewelry and actually taste like something. Skip the line at the diners across the street and get a box of these instead. The pistachio is the one. Pricey for a cookie, but these aren't cookies.
Order: Pistachio macaron and a proper almond croissant

Order: Biscotti & espresso in the courtyard

Scratch-made Italian bread and the pepperoni rolls half of Pittsburgh runs on. Grab a loaf while it's still warm.
Order: Pepperoni roll & warm Italian bread
