Following the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War, Joe stayed in Pittsburgh and began working at his brother’s bakery, which opened in 1969. Joe would eventually go on to buy the business from his brother and open Pitaland, one of Brookline’s most enduring businesses and a neighborhood landmark. It’s been 50 years since his brother first opened that small bakery, and plenty has changed since then. Joe’s four children, Danny Chahine, Donna Tweardy, Aleen Atencio, and Joey Chahine now help run the business, and Pitaland has expanded to add a fully functioning kitchen, automated pita bakery, café, grocery store, catering service, and wholesale retailer specializing in Mediterranean \u0026amp; Middle Eastern cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e![enter image description here](https:\/\/blog.harvie.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2025-06-05-at-1.15.42%E2%80%AFPM.png)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pitaland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45018046169157,"sku":"66510","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/4321\/3381\/files\/699c7a49d7c49727202124_a13d13d0-fa2e-4d75-b912-c391e4377bb3.jpg?v=1779122643","url":"https:\/\/harvie-750.myshopify.com\/products\/baba-ghannouj","provider":"Harvie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
