My grandparents came from Gaeta, Italy to Boston, where my grandfather worked in a bakery, almost seventy-five years ago.
They relocated to Stamford, Connecticut, in 1960 and opened John the Baker.

Ordered a large pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, garlic, and onion and it was delicious! Im originally from up north and typically have to order extra sauce, but you dont have to do that with John the Baker! Perfect amount of toppings and done just right! The closest you will get to authentic NY style pizza in South Florida!

I got the bruschetta pizza tonight and I added some extra items because this is a very thin crust item. There was nothing wrong with the flavor, but it was delivered cold not even a little bit warm, but worse than that the toppings were so de minimus it was almost as if there wasn't any for instance, the chicken that is part of the pizza came in 1/4 inch squares and maybe a dozen to 15 squares on a 12 inch pizza and about the same number of small squares of tomato and the thin slices I've ever seen of onion. Then I was looking for the eggplant which I couldn't find. Come to find out there were these little crispy things just a few dotted around the top of the pizza. Honestly, it was kind of a joke, but I think it should be discussed with them.

Clams and Spaghetti was delicious.
Fresh open clams in a wonderful sauce. Just as pictured. Pizza was half cheese and half lump Italian sausage and fresh mushrooms. Took years to find this restaurant and I am blessed.

Best garlic knots in town. Freshly baked, huge portions, packed with flavor. Will always order from here.

Very disappointed. The Eggplant Rollatini tasted out of date and I had to trash it. The "small" cannoli was literallyhalf a bite for $3!! Usually the food is good from here so im not sure what changed
