Hoosier Mama Pie Company

Top choice in Wicker Park, Bucktown & Ukrainian Village


Soothing 1950s pastels and antique pie tins set the Americana vibe at Paula Haney's celebrated pie shop, where hand-rolled, buttery-flaky crust is plumped full with fruit or creamy fillings. Favorites include sour-cream Dutch cranberry, banana cream, chocolate chess (aka ‘brownie pie’) and apple-blueberry-walnut. A handful of savory pies tempt, but let's not kid ourselves – we're here for the sweet stuff.

On Friday the shop offers a pie ‘flight’ (three small slices of your choice) for eat-in diners. Sit in a cheerful window booth and wash them down with a fresh-pulled coffee.
