Pots & Pans Pie Co.
Pie and pastry
Owner and baker Clarissa Morley got customers so hooked on her scratch pies and galettes at local farmers markets the last few years that when she opened her brick-and-mortar dream in late 2018, business came so swiftly she had to double her pie production within two months. A lot of credit goes to the perfectly flaky and just-right-amount-of-richness crusts that result from Morley’s devotion to a mix of butter and high-quality local leaf lard. The restaurant serves a rotating pie-of-the-day warm on site (think taco truck, meatball, or classic chicken pot pie), with a wider variety available frozen for customers to take and bake at home (pick up a biscuits-and-gravy pie now and thank us later for the advice). For your sweet tooth, choose the top-selling sugar crème brûlée pie, or other delicious options like butterscotch pie or giant chocolate-chip cookies. You may never want to leave the cozy space, entranced by the bright floral wallpaper up front and team of bakers working feverishly behind a glass partition. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner Tues.–Sat., brunch Sun.
