We are excited that the Food Network announced us as one of the "Best Pie Shops in the Country," recommending our fresh pumpkin pie.
"Pumpkin Pie from Michele's Pies, Norwalk, Connecticut Each fall, the team at Michele’s Pies turns locally grown Connecticut pumpkins into 4,000 pounds of pumpkin puree. The pumpkin becomes fodder for the countless iterations of pumpkin pies at Michele’s Pies. Though the shop has at least a dozen different types of award-winning fruit, nut and cream pies, perhaps none are as famous as her Thanksgiving pumpkin pie, as seen on an episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay." - Erin Hartigan Check out the full article here. |
Food Network's 50 States of Pie
Connecticut: Pumpkin Pie
Connecticut is home to hundreds of pumpkin farms, and the state turns into a full-blown pumpkin-palooza in the fall. Conveniently, Connecticut is also nicknamed "the Nutmeg State," which makes for fertile ground for this inspired pairing of baked pumpkin and nutmeg. This distinctly American pie was introduced by the Pilgrims in 1623 and later adopted as a favorite in Connecticut, one of the earliest settled states. Today you can find a classic pumpkin pie at Michele’s Pies in Norwalk, where the bakery team uses more than 6,000 pounds of fresh pumpkin during the holiday pie season. In addition to her classic pumpkin pie, Michele’s maple pumpkin pie is a favorite. - Erin Zimmer
