The Madonia's are 4th generation bakers with roots dating back to Italy. Tony Madonia Sr. moved from upstate New York in the early 1980s and relocated in Las Vegas. The three generation bakery had been started by Tony Madonia Sr's father, Augie Madonia (now deceased), his wife Linda and Tony Sr. Great Buns Bakery is currently owned and operated by Tony, his wife Lynn, his son Tony Madonia, Jr. And his niece Deborah Morelli.
The heart of production beats along Great Buns' high-speed roll line. We make a wide variety of hearth-baked rolls and deli breads.
Great Buns' growth matches that of its market, Las Vegas, which, for a long time, was the nation's fastest-growing city. We have kept up. We rely on creative products, high quality standards and superior customer service and have maintained efficiency by using state of the art equipment in making our breads and rolls. Great Buns operates 365 days a year, just like many of our Las Vegas customers.
Tony has been involved with baking most of his life. When he moved to Las Vegas in the early 80s, he joined his father with a small shop, originally located on East Charleston Avenue in Las Vegas. Together they developed a loyal clientele with fresh breads and rolls that, until then, were unavailable in town. Over the years, the company has grown from a small mom and pop business to one of the largest totally automated bakeries in Las Vegas. Tony's forward thinking has fueled aggressive growth that has resulted in the beautiful facility that exists today.
Tony Jr. joined his father after Great Buns moved from East Charleston Avenue to its current location near Tropicana Ave and Pecos Road in Las Vegas. He is involved in all aspects of managing Great Buns and is key to keeping the bakery running. You will often see him out on the floor overseeing the operation.
Many of the innovative expansion improvements made to the bakery over the years are directly attributable to him and his skills in implementing them.
Lynn works tirelessly to market and sell Great Buns product. She is well known not only by many loyal customers that frequent our retail store, but also by many chefs throughout Las Vegas. She has always been the public face of Great Buns Bakery. If you are opening a new restaurant, or if you want to serve better baked goods, call or email us. We will provide knowlegable advice about what breads or rolls would best suit your business.
Deborah joined her family as the Operations Manager, overseeing the business administration, retail store and running the daily operations of the bakery with Tony Jr. Deborah's extensive management experience has provided her with the knowledge to effectively manage costs, labor productivity and to move an organization in the right direction for continued growth and success. Deborah works endlessly on taking Great Buns Bakery to the next level within the Las Vegas Market.
