[edit] History

A Philly cheesesteak

The company was founded in 1904 in South Philadelphia by Vincenzo Amoroso and his two sons. From 1914 till 1929 they operated out of Camden, New Jersey but due to increased demand they moved back to Philadelphia. Today, after four major expansions, Amoroso Baking Company employs almost 300 people, and its expanded line of baked goods is available in more than 36 states. The company is located in Southwest Philadelphia, is still owned and managed by members of the Amoroso family, and is still one of the dominant bakeries in the Philadelphia area.
