D. Palmieri's quality, service and consistency have earned it's place as a staple of the community. Their Italian bread is great. It has a classic, strong, crunchy crust with a great flavor. My only criticism would be that in the last few years, the crumb seems to have gotten a bit more "whipped" with smaller cells and a less chewy elastic bite, reaching towards cotton candy and not bread. Still, it's among the better Italian bread options in RI, and if you want a good loaf of Italian, D. Palmieri's will deliver. They also have a great selection of pastry. Try to get there early when things are fresh. Sometimes the cannoli and sfogliatelle can be a bit soft from sitting out too long. The egg biscuits are also excellent as are the many hot dishes.
Fantastic spinach pies and pizza strips! Also, the rainbow cookies are a must try from here.
The best RI pizza strips on the planet. PERIOD. The sauce is robust and flavorful. The crust is crispy on the bottom and softer in the middle. THE BEST.
One of my regular weekly Friday stops is at this great iconic place in Johnston on killingly st. Years ago just a small bakery with mostly bread , party pizza strips that most people from outta state never heard of ! Now it's a full deli / bakery like one stop shopping ! I love thier Italian taco, Italian bread , container of chicken salad , chunk of provolone cheese & some cinnamon twists are a couple fav items! Great service with the ladies & girls that have been there for many years & can recite your orders for you :) It's always clean welcoming & fast service but I betcha you'll meet up with someone while waiting in line to chat with ! Local place where everyone knows your name!
Returning to Rhode Island for a visit from Florida, D Palmieri's was one of my first stops. I bought biscuits, pizza, spinach pies, and other items the bakery doesn't make themselves. I was so happy they had wandi's and Portuguese sweetbread too. Everything in there is quality and delicious. I took so much food on the plane that the baggage checker laughed. Everything traveled well. D Palmieri's will be my first stop when I revisit RhodeIsland.
D. Palmieri's is a fantastic Italian bakery located in Johnston, Rhode Island. It sells breads, pastries, pizzas, and sandwiches for takeout. I was in town for business meetings. I live in Texas, but am from Utica, NY--so my visit to D. Palmieri's was steeped in as much nostalgia as hunger. I ordered the Italian Sub on a hard loaf with the works, plus a few add ons. A huge, crusty, house-baked Italian loaf packed with an obscene quantity of Italian deli meats, sharp provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, red peppers, red onions, and pepperoncini. Let me tell you...this sandwich was enormous. No exaggeration, I had to peck away at it because I could not open my mouth wide enough to take a proper bite. I am a big eater and could only finish half. Order the small, not the large. But don't take any of this as a criticism. That sandwich was meaty, well-balanced, and absolutely delicious. I would fly back to Rhode Island for another bite. I also ordered a box of Pizza Slices. This is a regional term for a Sicilian-style, focaccia-like pie topped with a savory, slightly sweet tomato sauce and no cheese. The pie is baked in a rectangular pan until the edges caramelize and char. It is then cut into rectangular pieces and served at room temperature. Utica, NY has a very similar product with a slightly sweeter sauce called "Tomato Pie." I grew up on Tomato Pie. Tomato Pie is the first and last thing I eat when visiting Utica, and is probably my favorite food in the world. D. Palmieri's Pizza Slices are right up there with my beloved Utica Tomato Pie. I ate almost the entire box by myself. Johnston, RI isn't exactly a tourist destination, but if you find yourself there do not pass up a carry-out lunch from D. Palmieri's Bakery.
I just love D Palmieri's bakery pizza strips! You can order them by the box, for however many pieces you want. The crust is usually perfect, for me, that is nice and crispy crunchy. The sauce is perfectly seasoned. They also sell Italian bread and rolls, and have a deli case with Italian foods that are delicious - I am particularly fond of the eggplant! They sell dough, sandwiches, cold cuts, and pastries too. They also have spinach pies, small pizza circles and strips. This is a great bakery spot for all your Italian foods!
D. Palmieris was a huge help to me, I'm in town visiting family and wanted to make cannolis and no one sold shells and when I called they were more than happy to have them made and ready for me the next day. From the look and smell of it everything looked great I wish I could've eaten everything. They have pizza , heros, and all your bakery needs.
