Early Years

Established in 1986 in Hicksville, New York, Francesco’s Italian-American Bakery was founded with one guiding belief. Listen to the customer, honor tradition, and create baked goods that families can trust.

From the start, Franco has been at the center of that mission. A father of four and a lifelong baker, he grew up with the values of hard work, family, and food made with intention. Those same values continue to shape the bakery today.

What began as a small neighborhood shop quickly became a local staple. Families came to Francesco’s not just for cookies and pastries, but for custom creations designed around their most important moments. Whether it meant crafting a cake inspired by a child’s favorite character or creating a wedding centerpiece that becomes part of a lifelong memory, Franco and his team have always taken pride in delivering exactly what customers envision.

 

We Only Use the Finest Ingredients

Even as times and trends have changed, our approach has not. Franco is committed to baking the old-fashioned way, using only the finest ingredients and time-tested recipes. Everything is prepared fresh, with consistency and quality at the forefront. This is why generations of families continue to rely on Francesco’s for holidays, gatherings, celebrations, and the everyday treats that feel like home.

Quality is not an upgrade here. It is the standard.

We’re proud to be part of so many lives and grateful for every customer who walks through our doors.
