The best dessert money can Pie!

In honor of National Pie Day (January 23rd) I’ve com-pie-led all the best places to get a slice of the action in Southeast Idaho!

(Plus…I may have gotten a little preoccu-pie-d with the puns!)

You’ve never seen somebody crying and eating pie at the same time…that’s all I’m saying!  I know people all have their opinions on what the best dessert is, and believe me, the #struggleisreal! Alas, I find myself in the category of people that LOVE PIE!  My husband, however, is not the biggest fan. He won’t turn down a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie, and absolutely loves most cupcakes and gourmet cheesecakes, but he’s not one to reach for a slice of pie.  Not me.  In fact, it is probably in my top 3 for favorite desserts ever!  Especially fruit pie (what beats a peach pie in the summer?)!  However, and here is where I go off the beaten path, please hold the ice cream.  There…I said it. I don’t love ice cream.  I’ll gladly swap for a softball-sized scoop of homemade whipped cream though! (I can feel the haters hating…but I feel liberated just for speaking my truth!)

So, whether you love your pie with or without ice cream, here is a list of the best places to get your pie on in Southeast Idaho!
