Simler's

Sliema, St Julian’s & Paceville


This bakery was established in 1945, and unlike most pastizzerijas, it bakes everything on-site, rather than baking pre-prepared pastizzi. You can see the machinery in the back of the diminutive shop. It also sells chicken pies, tuna wraps and panini sandwiches.
