Center City Pretzel Co.

In Philly, pretzels aren’t just an occasional snack; they’re a religion. And few folks are doing Philly-style soft pretzels better than Center City Pretzel Co., which was founded by baker Tony Tonelli in 1981 and is today run by his daughter, Erika.

“We are a bakery. Not a factory,” they proudly proclaim, and this is anything but an industrial operation. These artisan pretzels are made with the highest-quality available flour and other ingredients, and they’re baked in a 50-foot, 500-degree tunnel oven, to golden brown, soft-on-the-inside, crisp-on-the-outside perfection. The Philly-style soft pretzel was once a little-known regional specialty, but now they’re shipping nationwide, straight from the oven to your doorstep!
