Stone Oven Wholesale Bakery

What Stone Oven Wholesale Bakery does

Stone Oven Wholesale Bakery is a family-owned wholesale artisan bread bakery based in Cleveland, Ohio, operating since 1993 from a single production facility at 2111 East 36th Street in Midtown Cleveland. The bakery is owned by the Incorvia family — David, Bill, and Joe — who formalized their three-partner structure in 2014, with David managing day-to-day operations at the production site. The business produces roughly two dozen varieties of artisan bread, including Pugliese, Sourdough (made with a proprietary organic scratch-made Cleveland starter), Multigrain, Siciliano, Challah, Jewish Rye, French Bread, Asiago Cheese, Focaccia, Ciabatta, Walnut/Raisin, Kalamata Olive, and Pain a L'ancienne, plus seasonal items like Cranberry Walnut and a range of buns, rolls, and hoagies.

Production relies on traditional artisan techniques: hand-mixing and hand-shaping, slow cold fermentation using biga, levain, and wild yeast sourdough starter, and baking in stone hearth deck ovens six days a week. Most doughs are vegan and oil-free, with no preservatives or dough conditioners; flour is sourced from Bay State Milling, a family-owned mill in business for over 100 years. Output is sold through two channels: direct B2B wholesale to fine dining establishments, restaurant groups, and local grocers (with 24-hour notice ordering and a 24/7 order line at 216-881-3054), and retail distribution through named grocery partners including Heinen's, Lucky's Market (multiple Ohio locations), Dave's Market, Lake Road Market, Cafe Honeycomb, and Cleveland's Westside Market/Christopher's Bakery. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The company is privately held with no institutional investment or external ownership, headcount in the 11-50 range, and operational scope limited to the Cleveland metropolitan area. Strategic partnerships are modest: a food-rescue arrangement with the Hunger Network since 2023 and a supply relationship with Grace Brothers Farm's CSA program. The business model is straightforward wholesale production with custom/private-label flexibility, and there are no disclosed AI, software, or technology platform components — operations remain craft-driven and localized.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Flowers Foods: Major U.S. wholesale baker (Nature's Own, Dave's Killer Bread, Wonder). Comparable wholesale bread distribution model and grocery/foodservice customer base, though operating at significantly larger scale and broader portfolio than Stone Oven.
• Bimbo Bakeries USA: Largest wholesale bakery manufacturer in the U.S. (Entenmann's, Thomas', Sara Lee). Overlaps with Stone Oven in wholesale bread supply to grocery and foodservice but operates at massive industrial scale with broad, commodity-oriented portfolio.

Others

• Shearer's Foods: Large-scale snack and bakery manufacturer. While primarily a snack/bakery co-manufacturer rather than direct competitor, comparable in B2B food production and private-label manufacturing capabilities that could encroach on Stone Oven's potential private-label expansion.

Direct peers

• La Brea Bakery: Wholesale artisan bread producer supplying restaurants, hotels and grocers nationally. Directly comparable to Stone Oven in product category (artisan loaves, breads, rolls), B2B wholesale distribution model, and traditional baking methods.
• Turano Baking Company: Family-owned wholesale bread manufacturer supplying foodservice and retail across the Midwest. Comparable in being a multi-generational family bakery with B2B wholesale of Italian-style and artisan breads to restaurants and grocers.
• Boudin Bakery: Iconic wholesale and retail sourdough bread maker with roots in traditional fermentation. Highly comparable to Stone Oven's Authentic Cleveland Sourdough positioning, B2B/retail dual channel, and artisan production methods.

Regional players

• Acme Bread Company: Bay Area artisan wholesale bakery supplying restaurants, grocers and farmers markets. Comparable in artisan production (long fermentation, hearth ovens) and B2B wholesale to premium accounts, though serving a different regional market.
