Check Out These Black- and Women-Owned Pie Shops

Whether you’re all about the filling or you point your fork straight toward the piece with the butteriest looking crust, we can all agree that few desserts are as humble and delicious as the pie. Flaky crust, decadent filling and oh so pretty – need we say more? Simple as it may seem, nailing the perfect pie can be deceptively tricky. So, this Thanksgiving, skip the headache and instead snag a pie from one of these black- and women-owned shops. That way you can focus on getting that bird just right.

Love’s Custard Pie

Go sweet or savory. Chocolate chess or chicken pot. Grab a slice from their Eastern Market spot or preorder the whole shebang. Either way, their slogan encourages you to “say yes to pie.”
