Tomorrow is Pi Day — and while we don’t know much about math, we are experts on the subject of dessert. Here’s where you can procure perfect pies around Indy while supporting local.
Pots & Pans Pie Co.
Whether you like your pie sweet or savory, this SoBro favorite has you covered. Editor Shea recommends the green chile pork pot pie for dinner followed by a slice of a seasonal bake, like March’s butterscotch pie.
The Cake Bake Shop
Choose from three permanent fixtures — apple crumble pie, peanut butter mousse pie, or key lime pie — or rotating seasonal options. Did we mention that the apple crumble is six inches high?
Lulu’s Coffee & Bakehouse
From chocolate pecan to strawberry, this charming shop has a pie for every preference. Pro tip: Pick up a seasonal drink while you’re there, like a peach mango matcha or a peanut butter + oat milk cold brew.
Taylor’s Bakery
This bakery has been cooking up classic pies since 1913. Pro tip: It’s currently offering Easter bundles including pies, rolls, quiches, and more.
