About Pia's Artisan Bakery
Pia's Artisan Bakery is an independent bakery on Saville Street in the heart of North Shields, producing a full range of artisan breads, cakes and pastries. It grew out of its sister bakery, Eli's, expanding the family's baking into a dedicated town-centre shop.
Everything is made on a genuinely artisan footing, from proper sourdoughs and loaves to sweet bakes and pastries, and it has quickly become a favourite for anyone after real bread in the town. It is a welcome sign of the independent food scene spreading beyond the Quay.
