I moved to Greensburg and I was told to try Jioio's restaurant many times. So I did and thought it was good but not great. I told my friends who sent me there and they then said ""The one in LATROBE is what we meant! That's where it all began."" So I gave it a try (I didn't know there were two) Boy was I surprised! It was packed and there was a waiting line, so I figured there must be something differant here. Once I was seated, I ordered a Pizza, Soup, and thought I'd try some lasagna. MMmmm! I am hooked! The Latrobe restaurant has me coming back twice a week, there is something to be said for the Original! I was told by the waitress there that Mr. and Mrs Jioio started the restaurant back in the 1950's and Mrs. Jioio invented the dough for the pizza, she also said Mrs. Jioio passed away in 1994 and Mr. Jioio just passed in the last couple of years. Apparently their Grandaughter owns the resataurant now and has been running it for the last 15 years or so with her Grandfather. GOOD JOB! Most businesses don't last after the owners sell it or pass away, but not this one! Super!
Pros: Real home made PIZZA and delicious sauce and meatballs! Value.
Cons: Small bathrooms---but I hear they're remoldling.
