    Biscotti and cakes

    4.5 stars. Moio's Italian Pastry Shop opened in 1935 and is family owned. It sells customized cakes and a wide assortment of cookies, pies, and pastries. In the past four years, my husband and I have been customers here a few times. During our first visit, we purchased mandarin orange cake, carrot cake, an apple strudel, an almond tart, and a pineapple tart. These desserts tasted delicious, but I found a 1-inch piece of plastic inside my carrot cake. The owner very kindly contacted me to apologize and to make things right. For our second visit, we bought a box of assorted cookies (4.5 stars), sfogliatelle (4.5 stars), a cherry pie (5 stars), a ladylock (4.5 stars), an eclair (4 stars), and marzipan (5 stars). Most recently, we bought a box of assorted cookies (5 stars) and a "monster cookie" (4 stars). We did not know how much the box of cookies cost until our purchase was rung up, and we felt shocked to see $45! My husband said that the price was high and that we would not come here again, but my family and friends who ate the cookies said, "so much flavor," "melts in your mouth," "you gotta try this," "delicious," "awesome," and "absolutely fantastic"!

    The smell alone is worth the trip. Freshly baked goods that are phenomenal and made by phenomenal people. The variety is amazing. The cakes are wonderful shout out to German chocolate and one of the best lady locks around.

    I recently started working in the Monroeville area, and am working my way through exploring all of the local spots. I found Moio's when searching for something sweet to eat! Moio's is located in a strip mall along William Penn Highway. There is a parking lot for the complex, so it is easy to find a spot close to the entrance. The shop is not too big, but is set up in a logical way that promotes a natural flow of foot traffic. My visit was on a Friday afternoon in June around 2:00, and it was not crowded. It was right before the Fourth of July, and they had the store decorated very festively! The bakery has a ton of selection, it look me awhile to decide what I wanted! I did not try it this visit, but they had Italian Ice available since it was the weekend (they have it Friday, Saturday, Sunday, from the signage in the store). There was a variety of cakes, pies, cookies, and traditional bakery items. As expected, there are tons of Italian-style pastries as well - Ricotta Tarts, Pasticciotti, Sfogliatelle, Cannolis filled to order, and more. I also love how they sell cakes by the slice. As someone who lives in a small household, it is not realistic always to be able to finish an entire cake during its self-life. This way, I can still try the cake without wasting a ton of it! I was helped right away when I arrived, and the staff were all very friendly. Since I had never been, the girl who was helping me answered all of my questions, and gave some suggestions. It appeared that all of the staff were very kind, professional, and willing to help. I ended up ordering a plethora of items - Chocolate Custard Cannoli, Ricotta Cannoli, Key Lime Tart, Vanilla Almond Cake, Oreo Whip Cream Cake, Pasticciotti, and a Napoleon. I enjoyed trying each treat over the next few days. My personal favorites were the Cannoli and the Vanilla Almond Cake, but everything really was delicious! I love trying new treats, and got to do that with some of the more traditional Italian pastries that I purchased. In terms of value, I was very much impressed. For all of my items, it was around $25, which I thought was very fair. Overall, I am so glad that I discovered this little gem in the heart of Monroeville. I imagine that since I am now frequenting this part of town more, I will find myself here somewhat frequently. I look forward to trying more of the menu and different varieties of the items I tried this visit. I would highly recommend stopping here if you are in the area!

    Delicious!

    The best bakery around! The cakes are out of this world! Simply amazing and delicious! Everything from cannolis to cakes are top notch amazing! Very helpful, friendly and accommodating staff. The aroma of high quality fresh baked goods delights the senses as soon as you enter the store. It's very clean and well organized. The prices may give you sticker shock but as they say "You get what you pay for." And they do use to quality ingredients in everything they prepare. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed with this family run business that has been around for decades.

    Fabulous Italian bakery - they even fill the cannolis fresh for you. Super friendly workers helped us select an assortment to try. Definitely recommend for a fun treat, a party, or a gift!

    My hubby and I were celebrating a special occasion and so I went to Moio's for the first time and got.... the chocolate cake, a cupcake, a chocolate eclair, rum cake, a devil delight and a peach boat. Last time I went in I got the TonyMisu. All delicious, very sweet. The atmosphere is so fun and you can tell it's not a chain just by the feeling of being in there and the JOY the employees have. I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY MORE. :)

    Roman cannoli and pina colada cake

    Really adorable and amazing pastries and cookies! Authentic and fresh Italian bakery and they even have Baklava. They have gift cookie sets and amazing Mignolis! Fresh cream in all desserts. The only thing I didn't like was the pina colada cake bc the crème was thick and kind of pasty.

    I tried their almond tart and mocha bell. Honestly, neither was very impressive. Other than the almonds on top, the almond tart wasn't really almond-ie. The crust was a bit stale. The mocha bell was better. The cream was probably the highlight. It was soft and tasted like mocha. Maybe it was because I got it towards the end of the day, the cake itself wasn't very moist and the almonds a bit stale. Overall the flavor of the Mocha Bell was good. Service was great, and I liked that they had a huge selection of treats. I would maybe try some of their other items next time.

    sfogliatelle. flat, dense, not great unfortunately. I wanted so bad to love these.

    Service is always super friendly and fast here. Always clean. Easy to find and to park. I really wanted to love this place. Service is great and it's very cute. Old school bakery. I am half Italian and from NJ so I am a little bit of a Italian Bakery snob and I heard about this place and instantly had to try it! I have tried it 3 different times (I hoped I caught it on a bad day each time because none of the attempts were anything to rave about) before reviewing it just to be sure. I just was not a fan of the things that I got. Prices are reasonable and service is friendly, the actual baked items though were just not it, for me. I tried the Italian cheesecake. Pretty bland and dense. I went back 3 times specifically trying to get the sfogliatelle because that is one of my favorite Italian desserts. Every time I went, they were sold out of them. I thought "This is a great sign! They must be AMAZING!" I finally got them and they were really just a major let down. SUPER DENSE, no real flavor and the pastry dough itself was tough. If that makes sense. Sfogliatelle are usually plump, rich, soft and flavorful. This was not that. To come back 3 times trying to obtain one and then, that? Meh. I HATE leaving a place a low rating especially when the service is always so friendly. I just was not impressed and would not recommend for authentic Italian desserts. Sorry Moio's I tried to love you.

    Pastries and cakes here are off the charts. Old school Italian bakery. Reminds me a lot of my great aunts and uncles cooking/baking. I got three pieces of cake, black forest, carrot, and raspberry and white. All were phenomenal and a perfect little sweet treat to end the night all week! Staff is very friendly. I would love to order a full cake from here for an event or birthday.
