We began in the East Liberty section of Pittsburgh in 1935. My grandfather, Raphael Moio, had worked his way west from New York City once immigrating from Calabria, Italy, in 1913. After working as a chef in hotels, he finally settled in Pittsburgh, where he opened his own pastry shop. At that time, East Liberty (specifically the Larimer Avenue section) was our Little Italy.
His oldest son - my father, came into the business after returning from duty in WW2. We remained in East Liberty. In 1978, I hired a young salesgirl named Meg Owens, who would later become my loving wife. Moio's continued to grow and prosper. So, in 1991, I moved the store to its present location on Rt. 22 near the Turnpike entrance.
