Sophia’s Bakery – Proud to be in Detroit, Michigan!
Immigrants from the Mediterranean countries and Middle East have a long history of entrepreneurial success in the United States. They have contributed many things to the culture, as well as to business and cuisine.
The Kircos family has been baking bread in Detroit, Michigan for over 100 years. In 1981 the family decided to specialize in Mediterranean artisan pocket pita bread and started Sophia’s Bakery. After tremendous customer response, the business expanded the pocket pita lineup to include classic Greek flatbreads, thin buns, pita chips and other specialty pita offerings. We currently service major retailers such as Kroger, Meijer, Trader Joe’s, Aunt Millie's and many others. We also supply foodservice distributors.
We enjoy working with customers to bring their own ideas on pita bread to reality.
Have an idea for a pita bread recipe? We can help you with your vision and create a pita bread that is unique and specific to your business. Our offerings of pita and flatbreads are made from proprietary recipes and we can help you create formulations for your specific needs. We have the ability to produce all natural products as well as products with longer shelf lives.
Our products are made of the finest ingredients with the utmost attention paid to quality. Our plant is inspected by governmental agencies and we have voluntary third party inspection to meet Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) standards. From 2021- 2023, we have received Grade A or AA in our completed BRC inspections. We have a Food Defense and Safety plan and our HACCP plan is detailed and extensive ensuring food safety.
We are one of a handful of Michigan bakeries that utilize bulk flour systems for white or whole wheat flour and we are the only Michigan pita bread bakery that uses bulk flour for both. Bulk flour systems greatly improve our efficiency and help us to wholesale at very reasonable price levels. We are large enough to leverage the efficiencies of mass production and small enough to move fast. Sophia’s Bakery can go from idea to sample product to production in a few days, not weeks or months.
We produce pita chips as well as specialized pita bread for those that make their own pita chips. Our pita chip pita is specially formulated to produce the best quality chips. First, we produce fresh pita bread. We then cut the pita into triangles or in half, season them with our proprietary recipe and bake them. We can also create a recipe or seasoning that meets your requirements.
