Maxokk

About

Maxokk Bakery is a beloved family‑run bakery located on St. James Street in the heart of Nadur, Gozo. Founded in the 1930s by Pawlu and Marija Attard, the shop has remained a cornerstone of Gozitan culinary tradition under the guidance of three generations of the Attard family. Today it is celebrated for its flagship *ftira*—a local variation of pizza that offers a unique, crispy crust and a burst of Maltese flavours. The bakery’s old brick oven, still powered by dry oak wood since 1952, gives every loaf and pastry a characteristic smoky warmth. In addition to its traditional *ftira*, Maxokk offers a range of pizzas, salads, and sweet treats, all priced affordably with the cheapest item starting at €9.00. With a welcoming atmosphere and a menu that caters to both locals and visitors, Maxokk Bakery is a must‑visit stop for anyone exploring Gozo’s culinary heritage.
