When Domenico and Lucille Serpe established the bakery in 1952, they had no idea just how big of an impact their little bake shop would make on Delaware history.

At first, Serpe and Sons specialized just in breads and rolls. It didn’t take long for cakes, pastries, and cookies to get added to the operation, and soon after, they followed in the traditional Italian bakery footsteps of adding tomato pie, too.

Serpe and Sons has been in business for more than 70 years, and that’s due to the fact that they take their product and reputation seriously.
