One of the compulsory stops on our road trips in this part of the world is The Stockholm Pie Company, a small shop on the corner of the main street in Stockholm, Wisconsin. The small narrow shop normally has standing room only customers, waiting patiently in line for a slice of pie, cookies, ice cream or to order a take-out pie, which, based upon personal experience is "to die for." The description below from their website is the gospel truth!!
The Stockholm Pie Company
Recently awarded the Best Pie of 2011 by CityPages.com
We are proud and honored to be the best pie around. According to them, "the sweets that Janet Garretson makes at her cute-as-a-button Stockholm Pie Company aren't so much trendy as timeless. They're certainly as good as grandma's—probably better."
The Stockholm Pie Company opened in May, 2008, with the notion that pie-lovers would delight at being able to have a slice of an old-fashioned, hand crafted, and flaky crust pie. Since then, there have been many pie-lovers delighting in the little shop.
With a repertoire of more than thirty varieties of fruit pies, cream pies, pecan, and ice cream pies, the shop makes all of the customary crowd-pleasers. Old time classics such as sour cream raisin bring back memories of pies grandma used to make. Lunch is also a tasty treat with a Savory pie, which is a 6" pie with delectable blend of meat, cheeses, spices, vegetables and fruit with an egg and cream custard in a flaky crust, or a slice of quiche, such as Spinach and Mushroom or Crab and Bacon.
Pies are available as 10 inch whole pies, 6 inch pies, and slices to eat at the store or for takeout. Special orders are encouraged to ensure customers can get the pie of their choice. You may order pie by the slice, too. If you want a pie not on the menu, it’s possible that a new recipe can be created. Customers can also feast on homemade cookies such as peanut butter, chocolate butterscotch chip, molasses, and chocolate chip oatmeal.
No commercial pie dough, roll dough or pie fillings are used in crafting the pies, apple dumplings, or cookies. Each item is made by hand, from the freshest ingredients possible.
Sounds so good Kate, and such a fantastic welcome by the look of that young man's smiling face.

ReplyDeleteCount me in!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like the pie maker on pushing daisies.
ReplyDeleteYou can order by the slice? Yumm
Oh, I'd love a look at those pies. And what kind did you have? And did you take any away with you?
ReplyDeleteI'll take a slice of cherry please!
ReplyDeleteJust thinking of heading out there today. Since biking is not an option, thought we'd eat instead.
ReplyDeleteI love pie! That young man is quite the cutie pie himself.
ReplyDeleteHe really does look like the guy from Pushing Daisies! I can't remember the last time I had real pie! Sounds yummy.
ReplyDeleteThis place sounds like its a good thing its in Wisconsin and not No. California. I can feel the pounds attaching themselves to me as I read the yummy discription.
ReplyDeleteCan they speak any Swedish at the Stockholm pie shoppe?
ReplyDeleteTack sa mycket
Sounds rather Swedish and sweetish. I don't think I've ever been to Stockholm (either in Sweden or Wisconsin!)...but having grown up among Swedes I'm sure the baked goods are perfection!
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy. I read that cupcakes were "out" and pie was "in". Wonder who gets to decide these things?
ReplyDeleteMmmm. I KNOW I would love to visit there. :)
