For nearly 140 years, Gonnella Baking Company has been a cornerstone of the Chicago food landscape, growing from a one-man bakery on De Koven Street into a nationally recognized brand with four modern production facilities. Founded in 1886 by Alessandro Gonnella, the company has remained family-operated across generations, expanding its product lines, entering new markets like frozen dough, and continuing to uphold the same commitment to quality, tradition, and innovation that began over a century ago.
