I know, right? Total shocker.
I think it was Jason Travi who helped them refine their pizza, but Neroni refined other areas of Superba.
Hah I always get my Jasonâs mixed up

+1. I recall the first time that I had Pitfire and then Pizzeria Mozza, I thought they were a little too close for (Mozzaâs) comfort. My vague recollection was that their pasta wasnât half bad, either (although this was b/f Pasta Sisters, Colapasta, Uovo). Last time I had it was many yrs ago. I wonder if the pizza is even better nowâŠ
Omg itâs not on the current menu. What in the fuck 
Had an excellent meal at Marché Moderne last night⊠with very good service. Thanks for the rec! Chocolate cake from sweet lady Jane (which they nicely presented with some cream and chocolate on the side!)

Happy birthday!
Looks like a great meal! I do have to say those fries remind me more of Lincoln logs than Pont Neuf

Thank you - looks fantastic! Unfortunately not open friday after thanksgiving 
Depends on how long youâre willing to drive but the other bakeries reasonably close to Newport I would recommend are
Blackmarket Bakery
Theyâll have 4-5 different types of artisanal loaves of bread and some breakfast pastries. A bunch of different types of croissants and scones.
Cream Pan
The actual breads here are maybe not their strongest suit but they have a great variety of pastries.

Some other choices in the area that might be open this Friday (best to call to check) would be Moulin (1000 Bristol, between Jamboree and Birch) and Pandor (Westcliffe Plaza). Câest si Bon (149 Riverside) also touts its artisan breads, but I have never tried them.

I second Moulin

Thanks everyone - awesome recommendations!
Rye Goods would have been my go to as well. Try Fermentation Farm (might only have frozen flatbread). Boil&Bake has quality bagels. OC Baking Co in Orange. Maybe Crema Artisan in Irvine. You might also call The Butchery in CM or Marioâs Butcher Shop in NB and ask whose bread they carry. Day after Thanksgiving could be tough.

Baguette is the play here, which they do very well.
That would be my call for NB.
