THE PIES THAT BIND

HIStory. HERstory. YOURstory. PIEstory

Everybody who visits Crave Pie Studio has a PIEstory. Some stories are sentimental strolls down memory lane to days spent in grandma’s kitchen. Others are witty who-done-it mysteries about pies that have gone missing. Over the years we have heard some incredible tales. These stories fuel our passion to bake the very best pies for our guests. It is our hope that our pies may insPIEre the creation of new memories and traditions for you and your loved ones.

Have your own Piestory? Click below to share it with us. IF YOUR STORY IS FEATURED, WE WILL SHOW OUR GRATITUDE WITH A FRESH BAKED PIE.

GIVEAWAY with Macaroni Kid

On any given night, you can find locals shopping, dining and gathering at the Alpharetta City Center. The centrally located development is home to many locally-owned shops and restaurants. One of its newest occupants is Crave Pie Studio.

Crave Pie Studio creates seasonally-inspired sweet and savory pies made from scratch using only local and in-season produce and ingredients. The new 1,100 square foot studio is located at 360 Commerce Street and is open from 10 am – 6 pm daily. Crave Pie has gained a fan following for its distinctive and ever-changing menu of sweet and savory pies that satisfy the soul with fresh, seasonal ingredients and a signature all-butter pastry. Recently, Crave Pie Owner and Founder Briana Carson, known as the “PiEvangelist,” was featured on NBC’s “Today Show” making her signature maple-pecan pie.

“Raving fans have been seriously craving our scratch-made pies, handcrafted by highly-skilled bakers with seasonal, fresh, local ingredients and love,” said Briana Carson, Crave Pie Studio founder and owner.“ It is our intention to bring people together over good, honest food and, judging from the success of our Duluth shop, it was clearly time to expand. I picked Alpharetta City Center for its charm and close, walkable proximity to other neighborhood shops, city parks, and locally-owned merchants.”

Sizes range from tiny, three-inch pies to 10-inch pies that serve eight people. Flavors offered daily, year ‘round in its signature five-inch pie include Chocolate Chess, Lemon Chess, Chocolate Bourbon Pecan, Dutch Apple and Maple Pecan (with pure maple syrup loaded with lots of Georgia pecans). Beyond those delightful core combinations, the creativity of Crave Pie’s artisan and highly-skilled bakers paired with seasonal produce drives a daily variety of featured custard, cream and chess pies including coconut, maple and citrus flavors.

Crave Pie accommodates custom orders, catering clients, weddings and various special events. 

I recently visited Crave Pie for a pie tasting and enjoyed a savory quiche pie and a selection of sweet pies; the lemon chess was my favorite! Picking up a savory pie for dinner for your family or for a "meal train" when a friend needs a little extra help is always a delicious and easy way to make a hot dinner. And, homemade pies picked up from Crave is a great way to add dessert to any table.
