Lazio Italian Bakery

I’ve been here several times because my kids attend weekly music lessons right next door. Some of the products are good however I disagree with the great reviews on Unilocal.I’m a repeat customer and I never received a smile from any of their staff.
This bakery has potential but it leaves a lot to be desired. There is absolutely no seating in this place. And the demeanour of the staff reflects a «get your stuff and go» attitude. They seem overworked and uninterested in customer service.
I always get the same curt, unfriendly and rushed service here. Businesses like there’s are losing to Starbucks because they’re clueless about service and act like they are doing customers a favor.
Also, they’re closed on Mondays.

Went the other day, got some buns and cold cuts for lunch for family and they were quite good, although abit higher priced and found the service lacking. Seemed like they didnt want to answer any questions and had the attitude they were doing me a favour by answering. Went yesterday to get a veal sandwhich and it looked good… til i took a bite and it was the most flavorless sandwhich ive ever had. All i could taste was the provolone cheese (had sauce and peppers on it). Cant say it was bad but it was just dissappointing. Also service was poor again from everyone but the cashier. I didnt know that saying «can i get a veal sandwhich with cheese and peppers please» was something that could upset someone. Anyway, Ill go back if im in the plaza anyway but wouldnt get the veal sandwhich.

I spent way too long intending to visit this place, and in the meantime jealously seeing other people visit and rave about the place. It was time to finally get off the bench and into the game! I’ve now been a couple times, and safe to say I’ll be stopping by almost anytime in next in the area.
It’s a pretty decent sized place. There’s of course a huge selection of items from the bakery. There’s also a deli area, and the centre is a mini-​grocery store with some imported items.
At this point, I’ve ordered a few types of danishes, croissants, cannoli, bread and cappuccino. There’s so much more to try, such as the hot table items and their famous gelato, but this place is already a bonafide winner for me. The quality is superb and they seem to reach the desired level for each item, whether it is: sweetness, flakiness, texture and so on. Even other things like having a good-​quality fruit filling in the pastries.
As always, value is huge for me and the bill is always lower than I expect. The prices aren’t listed (that I can see), yet I no longer care since I know it will be probably even better priced than I’d hope for.
A real gem of a place and anyone who leaves nearby is very lucky!

* I love Italian bakeries and deli shops. Breads are freshly baked. Many selection of pastries.
* Cooked food is available too. I always get spicy sausages.
* The pastries and breads are so tempting. On my cheat day, I will indulge.
* The ice cream looks tempting. It looks fresh.
* Place looks very clean and the staff are very friendly.

Mississauga is lucky to have this place. It’s a small place and the variety of product isn’t as extensive as other Italian bakeries in the GTA (such as San Remo Bakery, for instance), and it can be a little difficult finding parking in the plaza’s lot (it took us 10 minutes to find a free spot on a Saturday early afternoon!), but regardless, it’s still a wonderful spot for fresh breads and pastries in the west end.
My most recent visit was on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30 PM, and it was very busy. The place is like a combination of quarter bakery, quarter coffee shop (but there’s no seating available, so it’s pretty much grab and go), quarter grocery store, quarter meat shop — random, but it’s the best kind of confusion, you don’t know where to look first!
Today, we purchased three small items: one custard tart, one pistachio zeppole, and one slice of tiramisu. The pastries were wonderful, fresh, creamy, and had the perfect amount of sweetness (although I’ll note that their custard tarts are a little denser than I’m used to). Their tiramisu was a slice of heaven, and the zeppole was bursting with flavour. Fresh and absolute perfection. Really enjoyed these. For these three items, our total was $ 6.52.
I can’t wait to try more of their pastries and, in particular, the croissants, which were flying off the shelves. Service was very pleasant, and they sell a variety of Italian coffees in the grocery section, which I’ll be coming back for since they were son sale (Illy, Lavazza, were just a few of the packages to select from). Will be back again soon!

Its a charming little place in a small plaza. We did have a little trouble getting there though. We came in expecting a small area to sit and enjoy a coffee and maybe a pastry but were let down as there were no seating whatsoever ever. It was a little cramped and by when we got there, there wasn’t a lot of pastry and breads left. What we did get was a few cannolis and for what we got it was a reasonable price and very delicious.

Lazio buns anyone ??
Lazio is hands down the best bakery in Sauga for the freshest, softest buns AND cannoli’s! Like WOW! Those were my exact words after ordering buns from them for Christmas and Easter. Their cannoli’s are heavenly. Always fresh and have the crunch* on the shell. Aside from the bread area they also have a good hot table and deli section. Their coffee is also great!
Their hot table and pizza are good, not the best but not bad. Molisana bakery has a way better hot table and the best pizza for sure! But I eat it still when I’m hungry and in the area. So bottom line if you need buns and cannoli’s COME HERE! You won’t regret it.

It’s an Italian bakery in a strip mall with plenty of parking where you can get bread, pasties, meats, cheeses, and lunch. Its all to go with no seating. You can get espresso, cappuccino, and Americano coffee which you stand and wait for.
I ordered an Americano and waited with a cool bunch of Italian men dressed with snazy clothes and fidoras.
The coffee was prompt and the staff really nice. Personally I would like a ace where you can sit down and enjoy your beverage but the quality is good.

I discovered this place through Unilocal!After reading the reviews I had to try it.
Definitely a Five Star.
Staff were friendly and helpful, facility was clean. The place is very small, but their food is amazing and the bread is to die for. Also their coffee is superior.
Will definitely be a regular at thx place now.

BEST Italian Bakery in Mississauga by far. Everything at the hot table is delicious, esp. the veal. Bread is always fresh and the gelato cant be beat.
The only complaint about this place is that there is only one!

This place is owned and operated by people who love what they do and have been in the business for a very long time. It definitely shows in every aspect of their business.
Recently renovated, accented with imported high end quality Italian food service equipment and fixtures, this place is as good as it gets without going to Italy.
It’s hard to drive by and not stop in for something. Everything taste great and fresh!
I have tried their pastries, breads, espresso, cappuccino, and gelato. Holding back is the problem as you find that you can’t stop stuffing your face with amazing snacks.

Not sure why I did not mention the bread in my review.
It’s to die for old school bread it so good.
Baked throughout the day .
You can always get some kind of hot bread it’s always coming out of the oven .
Voted best bakery in Mississauga.
While your there try the croissants they are the best.
They just fly off the shelf.

Finally tried it! Was mainly going for macaroons (seeing I have an obsession), not a great selection of them. However, the éclair was amazing and definitely recommended!

My favorite Italian bakery in Mississauga.
I love the spicy olive focaccia and pistachio cannoli. I’ve tried some of their freshly baked breads and they have been consistently delicious every time.
Everyone who works here has always been very friendly.

If I could give zero stars I would. Was sold a burnt custard tart and I’m not talking about the general top being spotted with black… but the crust was burnt so badly that it was absolutely disgusting. I don’t know why they have so many positive reviews as their food quality in garbage. This was the WORST custard tart I have ever eaten (I mean taken one bite off, turned it over noted the black hard crust and threw it out). I will certainly not be returning, as they clearly have no pride in what they serve customers. It’s the first time in my life I have been sold and served something that should have been long thrown out.

1^st time visit and tried the tiramisu and hazelnut gelato along with cappuccino and espresso. All of it was really good.

I’ve had Lazio bookmarked for agessssss and I finally tried it out! And it was amazing :)
What was ordered (see pictures): two cookies, almond croissant, apple turnover, crème filled cannoli, espresso macchiato, and cappuccino. And it was all just over $ 10! How awesome is that!
They also have freshly baked bread, a huge deli, ready to eat food, etc! All the employees are super nice and SO patient.
I wish they had a larger seating area or even an interior seating area!
Definitely recommend :) I’m coming back for the deli!

Came in after years of not coming in, boy I sure am sorry I ever stopped coming in, the veal on a fresh bun oh to die for, the hot sausage on a bun my husband just loved was ready to go back last weekend for another one. Waited till we went back in on last Wednesday. The bread ohh so fresh and good, pastry my downfall lock me in the store pleaseeee.
Lazio the place to go very friendly polite and very helpful helping use my walker in the store, lots of room, the staff do not rush you.
The best Lazio Italian Bakery around.

Lazio deserves 5 stars because it is everything you want in a local bakery. The staff are warm and friendly, the bread and other baked goods are utterly delicious. They have a small deli, a hot food table, a gelato counter and sweets as well (in such a tiny space!).
My favourite thing it’s the ciabatta. Beautiful crust, perfectly soft on the inside. It’s heaven to accompany a lazy Saturday brunch, or later in the week for pressed sandwiches.
I adore the simple riccota cannoli and not-​too-​sweet sfogliatelle. The staff are friendly and helpful if you look lost while ordering and/​or utterly hungry (as I am so often).
It’s not often that the suburbs can boast about a wonderful, honest-​to-​goodness bakery. Luckily for me, Lazio is everything I want in a bakery, and more.

I’m surprised I haven’t been here before because I usually get my eyebrows done in this plaza. While browsing Unilocal for Canollis I found this place and bookmarked it. On my way home I decided to stop by and give it a try. I ordered a small vanilla gelato, rice ball with sauce, chocolate éclair and a chocolate Canolli for about 9 dollars (pretty good eh?). I got there around 8 I clock so they didn’t have any Portuguese tarts or plain Canollis left :(
Now on to my review. The girl at the counter was pretty knowledgeable and didn’t mind my question about the pastries and fillings. My gelato was delicious. Creamy, smooth and not overly sweet. The price for the size was perfect treat. The pastries were good as well better than others I’ve tried but still not the best. The rice ball tastes good. It has. Nice home made sauce and was stuffed with cheese and meat. I think the rice ball could use more meat and cheese. It was served to me at room temperature so I went home and warmed it up. I also added fresh cracked pepper and salt and a bit of chilli garlic hit sauce for some heat and it yummy.
Overall I had a pleasant experience and I would go back to try some items from their hot station and those Portuguese tarts.
