About Conca D'Oro Italian Pastry Shop
Conca D’Oro Italian Pastry Shop was established in 1935 and founded by Mario Caruso from Italy. When coming over to America, Mr. Caruso brought traditional old world Italian baked specialties.
Conca D’Oro first opened up in Newark, New Jersey, on 15th Avenue and then moved to South Orange Avenue. Then, in 1976, we moved to their present location at 1039 Stuyvesant Avenue in Union, New Jersey. After working for the Caruso family for 13 years, Juan Lopez took over the business. The Caruso family knew how loyal Lopez was and passed down the ownership of the business along with all of the family recipes. He has owned the business since 2003. Conca D’Oro has been proudly serving four generations of families with nothing but the best assortment of miniature and large Italian pastries, along with Italian cookies, and our famous traditional Italian Rum Cake.
In Italy, Sicily is known as “Conca D’Oro,” which means “The Golden Pot.” At this pastry shop, that golden pot may be filled with their signature dessert, cannolis! These delicious pastries are fresh-filled prior to being purchased, unlike many of the competitors today. A "Cannoli Party" is another signature for Conca D’Oro, consisting of one large, 16-inch cannoli which is surrounded by 30 small cannolis and accompanied with two containers of dips.
We are also known for our delectable chocolate biscotti. We make delicious traditional Italian pies and cookies special for holidays that we can ship across the country.
