Several new bakeries and pizzerias are opening across the U.S., each introducing unique flavors and experiences to their local communities. Cody’s Eats & Sweets in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, will debut its first brick-and-mortar location on June 26, featuring tomato pies, cookies, and cakes. In Napa, California, Croccante Pizza offers Detroit and Chicago-style pizzas crafted by chef-baker Hakan Kostek, who blends Eastern Turkish baking traditions with American pizza styles. New York City's Ribalta, famous for Neapolitan pizza and its role as a gathering place for Italian soccer fans, recently overcame a fire to host Napoli supporters during a key Serie A victory.
