New Carnegie restaurants philosophy? Eat more Bakn

Pork lovers in Carnegie can rejoice. The newest restaurant coming to Main Street is called Bakn for a reason.

The breakfast and lunch shop is under construction at 335 E. Main St. while owners Randy Tozzi, of Carnegie, and Susan McMahon, of Mt. Lebanon, prepare the eatery for a late-May opening.

The restaurant will offer a broad range of signature meals including everything from pan-seared salmon to a Bakn Burger.

McMahon called it an upscale breakfast and lunch with a modern twist. The majority of items on the menu are under $11.

McMahon is the managing business partner, and Tozzi is the head chef. The two have been dating for five years and have dreamed of opening a restaurant.

The restaurant will include a full coffee bar in addition to bar seating overlooking the kitchen.

Tozzi also has applied for a liquor license, primarily to be used for private parties. The location will be available for rent in the evenings and will be able to accommodate up to 75 guests.

Although the couple checked out a few other locations around Pittsburgh, they chose Carnegie because of its proximity to the highway and growing business district.

It's a great little emerging restaurant street, and the business community is so welcoming and eager to help us get started. The building turned out to be exactly what we were looking for, McMahon said.

The restaurant will be located at the previous Carnegie Granite Works.
