Pie in the Sky Bakery

The Pie in the Sky Bakery is located right on Route 1 and have been in business well over thirty years. They pride themselves on their use of AA unsalted butter, their lack of use of preservatives and transfats, and the lots of «hard labor» that goes into baking their «unforgettable products».
The day we stopped, the pie options were:
Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie with an Orange-​Chocolate Swirl
MacIntosh Apple
Red Raspberry
Jumbleberry
Black Bottom (Chocolate) Coconut
Wild Maine Blueberry
Luscious Lemon
Pecan
Chocolate Fudge
We chose a slice of the Sour Cream-​Blueberry-​Almond Crumb. The woman — the owner — asked if we needed a couple of forks and napkins. This made us smile! What a charming offer (and it was kind of lovely that she assumed we were eating it right away), but we declined as we were headed home immediately.
The unique pie was delicious — we could actually taste all three components: the blueberries, sour cream, and almond (which there were actual, crunchy little slices of). None overpowered the others and we loved the balance! The dough was flaky and melt-​in-​our-​mouths good, too. So, yes, it really was quite an unforgettable slices of pie!
A couple things should be noted, though:
1. The inside of the bakery is INCREDIBLY tiny. Just my partner and I were inside and it felt cramped.
2. There are a few parking spaces to the left of the building, but be super careful pulling in/​out of them as traffic can be pretty busy in this particular area!
3. The prices are very, very high. I don’t know if that’s because of the geographical location or because of the high-​quality ingredients, but it was $ 38 for a whole pie, or $ 6.50 for a slice. Our total came to $ 7 (I guess after tax) and I have to admit: it’s probably the most expensive piece of a pie I’ve ever purchased. Just a heads up that this is an indulgence for those of us without deep pockets.
I look forward to trying other flavors (especially that Black Bottom with Coconut, Luscious Lemon, or Chocolate Fudge) in the future!

I had a piece of the strawberry rhubarb pie. The taste of the filling was excellent but the crust was not so good. It was mushy. It tasted like it had been sitting in its own juices for a long time.

Let me preface this review is that I love Mom & Pop shops & will always pay more to support a local/​small business, so it pains me to have to give an below average review of this place. I know people need to make ends meet/​make their numbers work, but in my opinion, this is opportunistic price gouging to naïve tourists.
$ 38 blueberry pie. $ 38. Yes, $ 38 for an 8 inch single blueberry pie. I’m sorry, but I live in Boston & we have a pie only bakery (Petsi Pies, which is wicked pissah/​highly rated) that charges $ 22 per hand made organic, whole grain, fair trade, free range/​cage free/​farm fresh pie (for $ 22, which is pricey). That said, for $ 38, this pie better taste like it was made by the hands/​paws of Jesus, Santa & the Easter Bunny, which this pie — clearly was not.
Pie review? The filling was good (although my blueberry filling is as good/​if not better & I use frozen/​wild Maine blueberries — but the crust was excellent — which it better be because you’re paying *at least* $ 30 for a pie crust & $ 8 for pie filling.
Finally, I entered the shop (& I get along with everyone — even jerky people who tend to amuse me as I can tend to be jerky sometimes) — but this older gentleman was clearly irritated, not having a good day & didn’t seem to even remotely want to pretend to be happy to see someone pay almost $ 40 for his pie. I asked if/​when they might ever have rhubarb or strawberry rhubarb — he answers curtly «we have what we have». He gave me a warm pie w/​the box open (& I’m headed to the car, so I close the lid) & he very curtly says, «don’t close the lid, it’s the fastest way to ruin your pie». Dude, you own/​work at a pie shop — at least try and be fake nice, especially when you’re charging almost $ 40 for an okay blueberry pie. As a general tip on running your business, please try and pretend to appreciate your customers (at least don’t cop an attitude w/​them).
Somehow, they seem to have a tip jar at the register. After paying $ 38 for a pie & having someone cop an attitude over a question about strawberry rhubarb pie & closing a box, you can go pound your tip jar into the sand.
Pie in the Sky? More like Pies Against Humanity.

Stopped here on our way to boston. Awesome blueberry pie. All fresh, so yummy. We got blueberry and sour cream almond blueberry slices. Both were great, my favorite was the almond flavored. Def worth the stop even if it’s a little pricey.

This bakery is a gem! The warmest, biggest baking-​spice smells greet you as you step in the front screen door. The pies are packed with fruit. My favorite: The Jumbleberry– a blackberry, raspberry, blueberry combination. Their blueberry pie is a must as is the apple, and pie reservations are usually needed for the holidays. They also usually have a selection of individual pie slices ready to go. Who can resist take-​out pie? The brownies and bars are huge 5″ squares. My favorites: The Ranger is loaded with nuts, chocolate and I believe coconut, the Oatmeal Raisin has all the classic flavors and the Molasses bar is dense and full
of spice. So good. And you’ll usually see someone making one of the generous pies while you’re try to make a choice from the daily chalkboard. Go.

After 10 years of passing by this place, I finally took the plunge and went in. I was not disappointed! Yes, the price is a bit steep but, in my opinion, worth every penny. I settled on the Peach Blueberry. I served it to visiting guests who did nothing by rave about how good it was. I swore I would only buy one for special occasions. What exactly defines a special occasion? Needless to say, in the month since I’ve discovered this gem, I’ve purchased 4 pies for «special occasions»! Someone told me I was crazy and to try the pies at Anthony’s. The price may be better but there is no comparison with the taste. I highly recommend stopping by and sampling some of their goods, you won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait to go back and try some of the others.

Lovely little bakery full of homemade pies and baked goods. Every time we make it up to Maine, we try to get to this bakery. We had the white chocolate pecan pie and black bottom (chocolate) coconut custard this time. Both were absolutely delicious. Te hint of white chocolate on the ooey goodness of the pecan pie was decadent. The chocolate coconut custard was a surprising hit… hint of chocolate and coconut all blended delightfully together. The only downside… it’s very expensive: $ 7/​slice and $ 38/​whole pie. But totally worth it once in a while.

Excellent cottage home bakery. If you drive anywhere near you must stop and have a slice.

We stumbled on this hidden gem in July 2014. My 9 year old son raved about the Strawberry Rhubarb pie endlessly. This year, we made Pie in the Sky a priority on our vacation. My son was a little sad that they didn’t have Strawberry Rhubarb available, but he got over it when he tasted the delicious Chocolate Pie. I had a slice of the best Pecan Pie ever. We bought 1 whole chocolate pie and a sampling of slices to bring home. Everything was delicious. My husband enjoyed the Peach Blueberry. My son and I loved the Lemon Meringue. My daughter loves the Chocolate the best. Really, you can’t go wrong. The owners are marvelous and personable. The tiny shop is cute and homey. The pie isn’t cheap, but you get what you pay for. It is well worth the trip and the cost!

We travelled a long way to visit this bakery. Looks very nice from the outside. The pies were cold and do not taste fresh. The service was horrible. We were reviewing the menu while the server screamed across «do you want to order or just looking»? We were simply stunned by his attitude! Also, there were no place to sit inside the premise. Little disappointed overall.

Everything, I am certain, is fabulous. Everything we ordered was delicious. The pie process is a work of art. Prices are very steep, and i am not sure how they compare ($ 6.50 slice $ 30+ pie) but the muffins were great at competitive price.

Lovely owners. Very personable and great products. As other reviews state, the goodies are anything but cheap. They have been in business since 1981 and actually reside in the same building as their business. Quite unique and worth the time, money and calories.

$ 38 for an 8 inch pie is ridiculous. I live in a major U.S. city and frequently go to James Beard award winning bakeries and have never paid $ 38 for a fruit pie. I don’t care if Sal picked the blueberries on Blueberry Hill herself, this is a rip off.

We stopped in during their posted business hours and it was closed. Looked cute from outside

Best bakery in the states. Seriously. I dream about their old raspberry pie that they only now make by special order. The jumble berry pie fits the bill though. And omg the gluten free stuff is out of this world. Best gf cookie ever. Ever.

Pie in the Sky Bakery is one of New England’s charms.
I will always leave this place with a Sour Cream Blueberry Crumble Pie. This pie is equally jam-​packed with the right amount of tart and sweet flavors. Sometimes pies can come out really tart or really sweet, but this recipe is just divine. I love creamy treats and this particular pie stuck to a traditional fruit pie but the addition of the sour cream filling added a special kick to the pie.
Coming from the West Coast, mom/​pop shops are slowly dying, so iit is easy to appreciate this place. It’s small and you cannot eat-​in. This is a point and buy kind of place. And although, some have noted the lack their of service, I think it adds to the charm and style of this establishment. The pies are also not cheap but a little more pricey, which is okay. The quality of the pies match the price they come with but also, these pies aren’t typical pies you’d get at a grocery store.
They also have other great treats, like dessert bars, cookies and coffee/​tea.

I still love their jumbleberry!
Such an adorable family operation.
We stopped up on our way to Portland. It was July 3^rd and they let us preorder three pies to pick up that Sat for the drive down, despite the already long list. We also got a few slices — jumbleberry, blueberry, and coconut chess. I must say, after trying the slices and pies, I still prefer the pie experience over the slices. We ate the berry pie slices in the car and the coconut one was gone by the next morning. I almost changed my order from jumbleberry to blueberry, but am glad I didn’t.
On Saturday, we went to pick up our pies. Two were cooling and had to be laid flat, box open, in the backseat. Later that night we fridged all of our pies. The hotel fridge was not very cold. By the time I got home to NYC, the bottom pie, jumbleberry, was a mess. Leaking juice all over the interior of the box and some exterior. Thank god the actual pie still tasted delicious and that the bag holding the boxes was cleanable.
Tips: Preorder pie. Transport your pies in something else in case it leaks.

My brother-​in-​law bought one of these pies 5 years ago and we always go back for the same one, Jumbleberry. It is by far the best pie I have ever had which I wouldn’t have thought possible after growing up amidst great homemade pies back in the midwest. The taste and consistency is enough to turn those who don’t like pies into a pie lover. It is pricy at $ 35 and if I had heard the prices without trying the pie first, I never would have given this bakery a chance. I keep meaning to try their other varieties which all look and smell fantastic but if Jumbleberry is available it’s hard to pass up. We have tried some of their cookies which are also amazing. This all American bakery definitely gives you the stuff that dreams are made of.
As far as rudeness goes I experienced none. The man at the counter was very patient and pleasant to me and the other customers in line. You can tell the owners take pride in their product which may be why they would get defensive over any criticism, including those who question their high prices. I recommend this bakery for any day but most definitely for a special occasion.

My wife and I took a trip to Ogunquit Maine last summer. As part of this trip we had to go get some Blueberry pies and based on the review, went to Pie in the Sky. A tiny bakery, you could smell how good it was outside when we got out of the car. We ordered 1 slice of blueberry pie and 1 slice of the sour cream blueberry pie. Went back to our hotel intending to have just a bite, and instead ate everything. Oh well, means we had to go back the next day to get more!
There may be places to get cheaper pies around and I haven’t tried any other spots, but this place was excellent!

I first discovered Pie in the Sky two years ago when I came to Ogunquit for dinner at Arrows Restaurant. My first visit was a Sunday morning during the spring and I stopped in for breakfast. I ended up buying an amazing blueberry muffin and a chocolate chip cookie and a bottle of juice. On that visit I spoke with the owner and found out about the back story of the bakery and such. I marked this bakery down on my note list as a must visit if I ever get back to the area.
Well this past spring I was living in Salisbury, MA and it was close to the NH border and an hour away from this bakery. I made the trip and was greeted like an old friend by the owner. This time they suggested a huge piece of turtle brownie and I saw a blueberry pie come straight out of the oven and the aromas were out of this world. I ended up buying a blueberry pie to bring to Brooklyn, NY for my nephew’s birthday party. Everyone loved the pie as my sister a huge foodie and a part time baker raved it was the best pie she ever had. The crust was divine, and the blueberry pie was filled to the brim with fresh Maine blueberry.
This is a must stop for anybody close to bakery. Sure the prices are a bit high, but it’s fresh and made from scratch and AMAZING PIES.
