Vienna Bakery

A small-town bakery that has served its Maple Avenue neighborhood since 1923, across the bay from Providence in Barrington. Rhode Island Monthly says the pizza is boxed in sheets of twelve to twenty-four individual squares meant to be eaten at room temperature or cold, and describes a sweet, robust sauce under a light sprinkling of Romano cheese, a finish the magazine notes can send some Rhode Islanders into a tizzy. Order a boxed sheet.

Missy LaPlante bought this East Bay bakery from the Balasco family, who had run it since 1935, after twenty five years working there, per Rhode Island Monthly. Blueberry, apple and cream pies are made daily and an order placed by 10 a.m. can be picked up the same day. Order the Key lime, which the magazine records as a summer seller, add a custard or a banana cream, and take home a box of Rhode Island pizza strips with hearty sauce and Romano.
