About Us

The Pie Place takes pride in being a true “scratch” bakery. The bakers bring over 45 years of baking experience to create their tasty treats. All items are baked fresh daily and specialty items are available upon request.

      We are conveniently located 7.5 miles south of Pittsburgh at the corner of Rt. 19 and North Highland Road in Norman Center II,  just north of South Hills Village Mall and next to Borders bookstore.

  Julie Cobb Accamando has lived in the Pittsburgh area for just over four years.  She moved to the area from Fork Union, Virginia.  Julie began her love of baking when she was just 14 years old by working at a local restaurant.  After completing a degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management at Virginia Tech she continued to work in and out of the restaurant business.  Her dream has always been to be a baker/pastry chef and she loves to provide the patrons of The Pie Place quality desserts.

        Carmine A Bossio,      a lifelong resident of  the South Hills; is no stranger to the art of baking, retail sales, and food services. Completion of an AD in Science and undergraduate studies at the University of Pittsburgh  was the starting point . His current position  is now a culmination of more than 20 years experience starting  with retail sales then as a baker,  progressing into both “working” management and supervisory roles  in retail sales and bakery food services for a chain of retail stores. This ultimately evolved into lead baker  and now co-owner for “The Pie Place.” Carmine is honored to continue with  the tradition of providing high quality,  signature scratch pies and  pastries to residents of the South Hills and surrounding communities.
