Chess Pie, Neapolitan Pie + More: Why This MI Pie Shop Rules

Recently, 24/7 Wall St. put together a list of the best pie shop in every state. They gathered their data by consulting reviews and rankings on a wide range of websites, including Yelp, Taste of Home, Thrillist, Fodors, Food Network, Spoon University, Forbes, Delish, and The Daily Meal, as well as numerous local and regional sites.

They also gave more consideration to shops who specialize in pies. "While precedence was given to shops specializing in pies (often with "pie" in their name), in some cases bakeries with more general focus and occasionally places that are primarily cafés were included, if they were highly rated for their pies."

If you're looking for Michigan’s best pie, you should check out their top pick, Sister Pie. Specifically, recommended is the pie shop’s salted caramel pie. This isn't the first time the pie shop has been recognized. Another publication, Food & Wine ranked the best breakfast spot in every state and Sister Pie led Michigan once again. They also highlighted the shop's salted maple muffins as well as their cardamom tahini squash pie.

Many restaurants have things that make them unique. Some things that people enjoy about Sister Pie is their ties to the community, variety of menu items, their merch, and that they offer classes.

The pie shop started a Neighborhood Fund during the height of the pandemic. Customers offered to help pay for others' groceries during the stay-at-home order. Now, they’re carrying it on to make sure their baked goods and grocery options remain accessible for all. And if you're interested to learn how they do what they do, customers can sign up for baking classes.

Sister Pie offers seasonal items such as muffins, scones, and buns. They switch it up often, so you're in for a surprise with every visit.

You can snag yourself a slice or the entire pie when it comes to the Ricotta Rice Pudding Pie. However, this option is only available in store on Fridays and Saturdays according to their site.

All of their menu items are available in the shop on a first come, first served basis. They do offer pre-orders that can be placed online by visiting their site.

It looks like a bowl of purple liquid but it's way more than that. It's Sister Pie's Beet soup. Someone commented on their Instagram and said "This was amazing!!! My fave soup so far!" This could be your next favorite soup.

In addition to Sister Pie's seasonal items, they have permanent menu treats like their "Spranola" or the Sister Pie Granola and the Egg-on-top Gallette.

The Neapolitan pie is an all-butter crust, ruby chocolate ganache, chocolate pudding-mousse-type filling, and a pile of whipped cream. On Pi-Day they sold out of this flavor according to their Instagram. They are available for pre-order. If you want to give this pie a try, you may want to plan ahead.
