Prantl’s Bakery specializes in European pastries, fruitcakes, cookie trays and, above all, its burnt almond torte, the standard-bearer of Pittsburgh desserts. It’s so special that many a Pittsburgh bride has requested the rich, creamy torte as a wedding cake. With new owners since 2006, Prantl’s continues as one of the last of the independently owned jewels in the bakery business.
Open 7 am–5 pm Mon–Fri, 8 am–3 pm Sat. Closed Sun.
"If you visit Prantl's, they will sell you a bite-sized version of the torte for about a dollar, which leaves plenty of room for other delights. We've enjoyed the elegant petit fours, the rich chocolate Maryanns, buttery shortbread sugar cookies, and the light, savory pepperoni rolls."
