Pennsylvania Macaroni Co., affectionately known as Penn Mac, is a cornerstone of Pittsburgh's Strip District, located at 2010-2012 Penn Avenue. This historic Italian grocery store has been a part of Pittsburgh's culinary landscape since 1902, when it was founded by the Sunseri brothers from Trabia, Sicily.
About The Pennsylvania Macaroni Co.
Over the decades, Penn Mac has grown from a small pasta manufacturing enterprise into one of the premier Italian specialty food stores in the United States.
Historical Legacy and Offerings
The store has evolved significantly over the years. Originally starting with pasta, it now offers a vast array of over 5,000 specialty products including imported cheeses, olive oils, and an extensive selection of Italian pantry items. Penn Mac is known for its exceptional variety of cheeses, selling more than a hundred-thousand pounds of cheese a week.
Family-Run Business
The business remains family-run, with the third generation of the Sunseri family now steering the company. Their commitment to quality and customer service is evident in the personal attention they give to each visitor, whether they are shopping in-store or online.
Cultural Impact
Penn Mac not only serves as a shopping destination but also as a cultural hub in the Strip District, embodying the rich Italian heritage that is integral to Pittsburgh’s diverse cultural tapestry. It’s a place where locals and tourists alike can experience authentic Italian culinary traditions right in the heart of Pittsburgh.
