Hoosier Mama Pie Company

Hoosier Mama Pie Company
1618 W Chicago Ave., Chicago, IL‎
Neighborhood: Ukrainian Village

Hoosier Mama.

My family takes their pie making very seriously; maybe it’s a Midwest thing.  There is even a long running joke that my Uncle makes better pie crust than my Grandma does.  I believe both crusts are superior, but today Anna and I might have found a pie company that could even top my Grandma’s recipes.  The Hoosier Mama Pie Company is a very small bakery in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood that makes every pie by hand with the best ingredients available during each particular season.  Today, Anna had a slice of apple pie that was divine with a flaky, scrumptious crust.  I went with a slice of the chocolate banana pie that was luscious and satisfying with its many banana slices and rich chocolate cream.  The Hoosier Mama Pie company has a wide variety of pies for sale that customers can buy whole or by the slice ($4 each!).  It’s safe to say for my birthday next year, I’m opting for Hoosier Mama pie instead of a birthday cake.
