About Feeling Foodish

Comfort food, old-school baking, and the joy of dough.

Feeling Foodish is a Philadelphia-based, bread-and-pizza-focused recipe site by Marie Pinto Bialek. It’s built around the kinds of recipes she loves most: homemade breads, pizza doughs, Italian-American cookies and pastries—and a growing obsession with sourdough.

From soft hoagie rolls and blistered NY-style pizza to Italian wedding cookies and classic Sunday soups, the recipes here lean traditional, comforting, and made to be shared. Some are easy enough for a weeknight. Others take time (and maybe a sticky starter or two). But they’re all worth it.

Feeling Foodish began in 2012, after one homemade pizza dough came out too good not to share. That one recipe sparked a blog that now serves home bakers, comfort food lovers, and anyone who believes homemade just tastes better.

Many recipes come from Marie’s Italian mom or her upbringing in the Philly suburbs. Others are inspired by New York bakeries, local diners, and her husband’s Utica roots. A few, like sfogliatelle or panettone, take patience-but that’s part of the fun.

Sourdough? It’s here to stay, with step-by-step recipes for focaccia, English muffins, and more.

You can also follow along on Instagram @_feelingfoodish for dough pics, baking tips, and whatever else makes it out of the kitchen and onto my camera roll. (PS. Marie’s still working on posting regularly—she’d rather be kneading dough—but if enough people follow, that just might be the nudge she needs).
