Joseph's Bakery Menu OUR STORY It all started with fresh, delicious, soft pita bread, served straight from a warm oven. Did you Know? 1952 SYRIA TO AMERICA In 1952, Joseph Boghos, immigrated with his family from Damascus, Syria, to the greater Boston area. Missing the flavors of home, he recreated some of his favorite dishes in his kitchen. One of these was an authentic pita bread made from a recipe handed down through his family.

To meet the demand, he founded Joseph’s Bakery in 1972. It wasn’t long before grocery stores around New England could barely keep the bread on their shelves. 1975 ORIGINAL BAKERY LOCATION After three years in a small attic apartment in Lowell, MA, the operation moved to Riverside Drive in Methuen Massachusetts until 1984. 1980S EXPANSION & GROWTH Joseph’s products expand to include lavash, tortillas, wraps, pancakes, pizza dough and flatbread in a variety of grain styles from Whole Wheat to Flax, Oat Bran & Whole Wheat. 1990S SECOND GENERATION John Boghos, second generation steps into a leadership role.
