John the Baker

About John the

John the Baker is a family-owned Italian restaurant that opened in 1960 in Stamford, Connecticut, and later found its South Florida home in Pembroke Pines. The Pembroke Pines location on N. Flamingo Road has been serving the community for decades with handmade pizza, famous garlic rolls, baked pastas, chicken parmigiana, eggplant rollatini, and classic Italian comfort food. The casual, cozy dining room has a kid-friendly spirit that suits group dinners, everyday meals, and familiar faces returning for the same recipes that have made John the Baker a tri-county favorite. With locations in Pembroke Pines, Coral Springs, and Deerfield Beach, the tradition continues — fresh dough, housemade sauces, and the kind of hospitality that turns first-timers into lifelong regulars.
