So, go ahead and treat yourself to a delicious pie, in the name of science! We’ve rounded up a few great pie options including traditional dessert pies, pizza pies, and pot pies. Try one and you just might find your new favorite pie in Baltimore.

Classic Pies

Pie Time
It’s always a good time for pie at Pie Time in Patterson Park. They have both sweet and savory pies so you can satisfy any craving. Flavors rotate through the year, but one of their popular pies is Maple Bourbon Pecan, featuring maple syrup with Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, vanilla, and chocolate chips.

Dangerously Delicious Pies
Located in Canton, Dangerously Delicious Pies serves up handmade from scratch pies with no additives or preservatives. From chess pies, to cream pies, to breakfast-inspired “pancake pies”, they have it all. You can order by the slice or commit to a full pie, just make sure to use the order ahead system to ensure you get your favorite pie on this busy day.

Berger's Bakery
Did you know that Berger's Bakery in Lexington Market serves pie? Their cookies may be Baltimore’s most popular treat, but their pies are just as tasty. Try the Apple Penny Pies this Pi Day for the perfect, on-theme dessert.

Atwater’s
With locations in Canton and Belvedere Square, Atwater's is another convenient place to grab a pie this March. Their classic apple pie comes in 2 sizes, so if you’re celebrating with others you can grab a larger size to share. They also have a gluten-free apple cranberry pie available for gluten-free friends.

Pizza Pies

Pizza di Joey
Just a few blocks away from your home at 101 Cross Street, inside Cross Street Market, lies Pizza di Joey. This authentic New York-style pizzeria right here in Baltimore serves up pizza inspired by old-school traditions, but their ingredients are fresh and locally-sourced.

Tiny Brick Oven
Federal Hill has another New York-style pizza joint, Tiny Brick Oven. Not only do they have delicious handmade pies, but they also have a pay-it-forward program that helps provide pizza to those in need. It’s a great way to give back this Pi Day because what goes around comes around.

HomeSlyce
HomeSlyce has three locations — South Baltimore, Canton, and Mt. Vernon. This pizza destination is another great Pi Day option with over 15 different pies available. Try a classic, like Pepperoni or go for something new, like their “Falafelicious” pie, featuring hummus, falafel, sweet drop peppers, red onions, and mozzarella cheese.

Pot Pies

SoBo Cafe
The chicken pot pie at SoBo Cafe in Federal Hill would make for a perfect Pi Day dinner. This woman-led, locally-owned restaurant is known for their thoughtful ingredients and from-scratch recipes. The chicken pot pie is no exception, featuring delicious chicken and veggies wrapped up in flaky pastry perfection.

Thames Street Oyster House
Led by head chef Eric House, Thames Street Oyster House in Fells Point has many mouth-watering menu options, but the mini lobster pot pies are exceptional. Like all of their dishes, these pies are made with only the freshest and highest-quality ingredients that you’re sure to love.

Restaurants & Food
Home Maid’s founder Derrick Faulcon set out to create a standard-setting brunch experience here in Baltimore. Everything is made from scratch with only the highest-quality ingredients, all meticulously sourced. Their weekends-only menu features some delectable brunch plates, including breakfast sandwiches and chicken and waffles.

Papi Cuisine’s Afro-Latin fusion dishes have been a Baltimore favorite for years. Owner Alex Perez’s menu items are inspired by the family recipes of his Dominican father and African American grandmother. Papi Cusine started out as a food delivery service, and ultimately grew into the neighborhood favorite it is today.

Located in the Black-owned Ivy Hotel, Magdalena serves bistro fare at the intersection of European traditions and Maryland flair. The restaurant welcomed its first Black chef in 2021, Chef Scott Bacon, who brings more than 11 years of experience to the table.

Looking for something unique? Try a hot dog at Sporty Dog. Diners are encouraged to customize their dogs to their hearts' content. So, go ahead and pile on the toppings! Owners LaShauna and Daejonne, a mother and daughter team, want everyone to "sport your dog" and make the dining experience fun.

Neopol is another great family-run food business, led by Dorian Brown and his mother Barbara Lahnstein. They specialize in smoked meats, including fish, turkey, sausage, and more. Each is cooked to perfection in a signature red metal smoker, available at many retail locations across Baltimore.

Desserts
Satisfy your sweet tooth with a delicious creation from Midnite Confection. This mother-and-son team whips up incredible desserts, including their signature StrangeLove cupcakes. These tasty treats combine two desserts in one, like a lemon cupcake with a blueberry pie filling and lemon buttercream. They also have cookies and more available to order.

If you're in the mood for ice cream, try one of Taharka Brother’s unique flavors like Mintflix and Chillz. Co-owned by 6 individuals united by a shared vision, this ice cream company gives back through its Baltimore-focused mission.

We also love Berries by Quicha, home to Baltimore’s favorite chocolate-covered strawberries. Founder Quicha has quickly become known as the go-to dessert creator for DMV residents and celebrities alike – including President Obama and Beyoncé.

Drinks
Don’t forget drinks! Check out Serenity Wine Cafe, located in Locust Point. It’s not your average wine bar – it’s the first self-serve wine establishment in Baltimore. At Serenity, guests can choose from 16 varieties and utilize the pour-your-own taps for a personalized experience. It’s the brainchild of owner Nneka Bilal, who uses wisdom gained from over 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry.

For a caffeinated beverage, visit Koba Cafe in Federal Hill. This cozy cafe has a welcoming atmosphere and delicious coffee drinks. The cafe was started by owner Adama in September 2005. While he was pursuing a career in civil engineering, he worked part-time in a coffee shop, where he realized the community-building power that cafes can have. He started Koba Cafe shortly after, and the rest is history.
