Omaha, NEPie Shops

A hand pie shop at 35th and Center that Kate Carter Anderson grew from a 2019 farmers market stand, baking sweet and savory hand pies in a buttery crust with flavors she picks each week. Kimchee sausage is a best seller, winter brings fillings like pot roast, sweet potatoes and squash, a biscuits and gravy pie is one of her favorites to bake, and summer brings peach hand pies, with sweet and savory pairings like blackberry jam and sausage along the way. Order the kimchee sausage hand pie.

A North Omaha soul food kitchen whose dinner menu leads off with dessert, and whose pies are family recipes: a sweet potato pudding pie and great-grandma Lily's green tomato and raisin pie. Folding the classic pies into vanilla ice cream was Big Mama's own idea, the kitchen serves a sweet potato pie ice cream, and in the house tradition dessert can come first. Order the green tomato and raisin pie, then a scoop of the sweet potato pie ice cream.

A Gretna pumpkin patch and fall festival whose Pie Barn, the first big project of the family's next generation, bakes pies from original recipes Kelsey Vala tested before it opened, and is open only during the patch's fall season, which runs through the start of November. The salted caramel apple pie has a balanced apple filling, cinnamon without too much of it, a generous caramel sauce and a little salt on top that cuts the sweetness. Order a slice of the salted caramel apple pie in the Pie Barn.

A neighborhood diner in historic Florence known for its pies, as well as its doughnuts and sweet rolls, serving breakfast and lunch with biscuits and gravy among the plates. Don't leave without a slice of pie.
