Balistreri’s Pastries Plus

Balistreri’s Pastries Plus carries a baking tradition that began in 1948, when Natale and Tony Balistreri opened Balistreri’s Bakery on Buffalo’s West Side. Now run by Nancy and Joann Balistreri, with help from fourth-generation Natalie Schultz and second-generation Mary Antoinette Balistreri, the West Seneca shop is known for pizza, cookies, traditional cannoli and holiday specials, all of which exemplify the family’s commitment to handmade baked goods.
