As David Mamet wrote in Boston Marriage, “We must have a pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie.” There’s something special about sharing a piece of pie. From the sweet, creamy filling to the a crumbly crust, it’s a moment you savor.
Lucky for you, we’ve compiled some of the best restaurants and bakeries in Crawford County known for their excellent pies. Some locations take individual orders for pies, others have ready-made ones on case for a slice after dinner. Without further ado, here are some of our favorite pie-makers in the area:
