Fiore Moletz

Executive Chef and Co-Owner, Burgh’ers Brewing and Della Terra Italian Bistro | Pittsburgh, PA

Fiore Moletz is founder of the award-winning Burgh’ers Brewing and Della Terra Italian Bistro in Pittsburgh, PA. Fiore’s passion for local and natural food was something that has been ingrained in him since he was a child. Raised by a single mom, Fiore rarely dined out growing up, so his exposure to restaurants was only through working in the local Pittsburgh food industry, starting at the age of fifteen. When he finally did get the chance to partake in dining at the popular dining establishments, he realized that they didn’t measure up to the fresh and local dishes he had been eating his whole life from what his mom cooked at home. This was a turning point. Fiore worked his way up through the restaurant business, eventually landing at chef Lidia Bastianich’s restaurant “Lidia’s” in Pittsburgh under Chef Craig Richards. It was there that he used his knowledge of fresh and local ingredients combined with basic techniques that were learned at previous jobs. His journey took him to different locations at Bastianich’s restaurant group including Kansas City, Italy, and New York, learning everything that he could along the way. In 2005, he returned to Pittsburgh and started at Il Pizzaiolo running their fresh pasta production and learning from the chefs & Pizzaiolos from Naples. Burgh’ers first location opened in 2010, and it is here that Fiore established his own style of cooking in the most sustainable way he can and always using fresh, local ingredients! In 2017, Fiore partnered up with dear friend, Neil Glausier, to open Burgh’ers Brewing! The rest is history! (Pittsburgh, PA)
