There are some things that simply get better with time. A bottle of fine wine. A good aged cheddar cheese. And Rhode Island's very own Francesco "Porky" Martinelli! "Porky" Martinelli, now home in Rhode Island after several years baking at resorts in Las Vegas, is a master baker whose name and reputation are well known to legions of fans who remember his days as a baker in North Providence. Porky Martinelli has been baking bread for over four decades ~ and now he is not only back in town, he is better than EVER!
On Sunday, November 3 from 7:00am to 4:00pm, fans of Porky will have a chance to welcome him home and sample the irresistible baked goods at his NEW bakery, the Bread Boss Italian Bakery, just off of Putnam Pike in Johnston. The Bread Boss Italian Bakery is an immaculate, warm shop that is filled with the nostalgic aromas of freshly baked bread, delectable sugary pastries and specialty items like calzones and cheesy pizza bites.
At this special "Grand Opening", you will be able to taste Porky's signature breads and pastries, as well as be eligible for prizes, gift certificates and plenty of free coffee. Each baked item at the Bread Boss looks like a masterpiece - with a golden brown crust, light coating of confectioner's sugar or bursting with spinach or pepperoni - but Porky will tell you that it isn't about appearances at his bakery. It is all about the taste.
Each item made in this peanut-free bakery is hand made with the loving touch of a true master baker, with no compromise on taste. A steady stream of customers who have rediscovered the magic of "Porky" Martinelli arrives daily at the Bread Boss to choose from a lengthy assortment of baked options, some of which include these fan favorites:
• Fresh baked rolls & breads ~ Italian, Sicilian, French
• Calzones ~ Spinach, Chicken or Meatball Parm, or Philly Steak & Cheese
