They have so much selection, it's overwhelming! I have been on a hunt for the best tiramisu in Pittsburgh and I read that their variation was very good so I had to try it. It is called a Tony misu, and I would argue It is like a cake...So ditch the idea of ladyfingers overall. It didn't have much coffee flavor at all, the frosting/cream or whatever it was wasn't bad. I wouldnt come here just for this but I'd eat it again if it was in front of me. I'm honestly disappointed, when you call yourself an Italian pastry shop but can't make classic tiramisu. Maybe that's just me, but I think that's all of Pittsburgh. Service here was great, parking was easy. read more

CARROT CAKE BEST CARROT CAKE IN... EVERYWHERE. If you don't like carrot cake, you probably jut haven't had Moio's. Okay, Moio's is more than just carrot cake, but I wanted to make that clear just so you know. Tucked into a centrally located plaza of Monroeville, this place is an oasis of fresh made, delicious cookies, cakes, and pastries! My favorites are devil's delights, butter sandwich cookies, tiramisu, and the carrot cake!! They always have a line because they are popular, but you never are waiting long. The place is decorated in fun decorations and is a nice throwback of an Italian bakery. Always worth a stop and a great place for a holiday treat! read more

Moio's Italian Pastry Shop - Carrot Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

This place has the best kind of neighborhood energy. The people behind the counter clearly knew a lot of the customers ahead of me, which is always a good sign -- locals don't line up like that unless it's legit. I didn't try the cannoli this time, but the panoli with almond paste was excellent -- good chew, lightly crisp, and not dry at all. You could really taste how fresh the nuts were. We also picked up a variety of Italian cookies and biscotti, and every single one was solid, with that same freshness coming through. There was a long line, but it moved fast and the staff was efficient and friendly. I still need to come back for the cakes, but based on everything we tried, this is clearly a neighborhood favorite for a reason. read more

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"! read more

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! read more

My daughter bought a birthday cake for me last weekend and we always get the chocolate butter cream icing, it was horrible the icing had no flavor, I don't know if they are cutting back on cocoa or what very disappointing. I hope this isn't what is happening with his daughter taking over. Not going back any time soon. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I would love to order a full cake from here for an event or birthday. read more

The service at Moio's is spot on, everyone is very friendly and fast. We went in two days before Christmas and the shelves were well stocked despite them being so busy. We got thumbprints, chocolate chip cookies and a fudge pecan pie. The thumbprints were good but I'm honestly very disappointed in the chocolate chip cookies and the pie. They were just not good and I love my sweets. Maybe it's a different type of recipe than I'm used to or was expecting, I'm not sure. The pie only had two slices taken out of it at Christmas Eve dinner too... read more

Delicious cakes, cookies, and pastries and the people working there are so incredibly nice! Highly recommend the rum cake and the Roman cannoli. It was pretty empty when I was there on a weekday morning but they have signs directing you where to line up so I assume it gets pretty busy! read more

Amazing pastries and such a cute atmosphere!!! My first time there, I knew it was somewhere I'd keep coming back.

The clerks are borderline nasty. The old woman glares at her unfavorite customers. I never felt welcome the couple of times I've tried this place, and woe to you if you need to look around and don't know what you want. I got chocolate chip cookies, anticipating big things. I ate a cookie and didn't get anything out of it. My feeling was, "Well, I ate a cookie, and I don't want another one." If anything, their chocolate chip cookies kill your desire for chocolate chip cookies. They are strangely tasteless. And at $20 a pound, I expect a cookie that's worth that kind of extravagance. Turns out, other cookie lovers agree with me. As far as ambiance? The place brings on claustrophobia. So much is crammed into so little space that the customer is left with the impression that this bakery thinks so highly of itself that the customer should be grateful to be allowed in and leave his big bucks. As far as being Italian, they don't make anything special for traditionally Italian times, like a saint's day. The best I can say is that the baked goods are nice to look at. read more

This place was packed. Social distancing corral all the way around. It was a little overwhelming since it was our first time there and there wasn't really any time to look. And the staff made ya feel kinda rushed. Stabbed in the dark and for a few things that looked and sounded good. Got one thing cuz our Italian friend ordered it haha Sfogliatelle - got it cuz our Italian friend did. It was really good. Kinda like a cream puff but flatter and not as sweet. Had a little citrus flavor. Cream puff - pretty good. Snickers white cake - so freakin good Meet would go back if we are in PA again. We were just visiting friends. read more

This bakery is the bomb! They offer a truly unique and wonderful selection of Italian pastries and cookies. They are doing a great job during the Pandemic and offering up their delectable treats for hungry customers. We tried an assortment of things and were bowled over by how delicious everything was.

I'm sort of glad we don't live closer to this place. It could be very dangerous. read more

This little shop made me miss living in Pittsburgh so much! It was 9:15 a.m. a couple of days before Thanksgiving and the line was almost to the door. The ladies behind the counter were helpful, patient, AND efficient. They called me "hon" and helped me figure out what item I needed. For those of you looking for cookies (exactly what I was after). There are boxes of two dozen,four dozen, and trays of six dozen. If you just want a few of a particular type, you can pick exactly what you want. My family was so impressed with the tray I brought them and the cookies are delicious. I note that the shop, on William Penn Highway in Monroeville is practically a stone's throw away from I376 and the PA Turnpike. Cookie heaven just less than a mile away from both. read more
