For more than seven decades, The Original Pie Shoppe in Laughlintown has been helping Western Pennsylvanians celebrate special occasions and satisfy their sweet tooth.

The quaint bakery, founded and run by mother-son duo Mildred and Melvin Columbus, specialized in homemade cinnamon rolls, pie, and fresh bread in the early days.

For the past 48 years, Melvin's son, Tom, has headed the Original Pie Shoppe, expanding with several other locations throughout Western Pennsylvania.

Stop by for a delicious lunch. The bakery serves such hearty dishes as salads, hoagies, pizza, and pepperoni rolls. Sit on the front patio and enjoy your meal during the warmer months.

Hosting a party or a gathering? Order a sandwich tray to go from the deli that also offers an assortment of meats and cheeses.
