I spy, you spy, we all spy … pie! Enough slices to fill even the hungriest pastry fan. If you’re a proud member of the camp of people who prefer pie to cake, cupcakes, cheesecake, brownies, and any other baked good, you’re in the right place, no matter what type of filling you prefer. Personally, we believe there’s a pie out there for every sweet tooth, and it goes without saying that not all pies are created equal.
That said, there still tends to be some consensus when you’re trying to suss out the “best” pies available near you. Whether consumers universally prefer a certain producer’s flaky pie crust or you swear by the apple pie that comes from one bakery, certain pie spots are beloved local fixtures, and well worth a stop if you’re ever passing through the area. We figured we’d round up the best place to get a slice of pie in each of the 50 states, based primarily on consumer reviews and recommendations. So, without further ado, let’s eat!
Alabama: The Moon Bakeshop
First up is Alabama’s The Moon Bakeshop, which (not coincidentally) also earned a place as our pick for Alabama’s best spot to get some cheesecake. ‘Bama residents on Reddit are quick to recommend this bakeshop to locals asking where to get a stellar slice of pie. Many people say they’ve never had anything at The Moon Bakeshop that they didn’t like, and the peanut butter pie and chess pie are especially praised.
