The History of Just Pies

Just Pies is a specialized bakery focusing on the production of, you guessed it, Pies!!!  We are a family-owned and operated business, with three Columbus locations.  Our original storefront location in Worthington, our baking facility/retail location in Westerville and our newest store in Gahanna.  Just Pies produces homemade pies from the finest, freshest ingredients daily.  We offer over 25 different flavors and there is sure to be one that is "Just" right for you!

How do we make a Just Pie?

When asked what makes our pies so special, the answer is easy: the crust.  Just Pies makes a light-flaky crust that will take you back to the homemade pies that grandma used to bake.  The recipe is simple: flour, a touch of sugar, and the secret ingredient, lard.

For our fruit pies, you will only find quality IQF fruit.  No canned fillings here!  Our fruit is picked from all over the country, whether it is strawberries from California, red raspberries from Oregon, or just red tart cherries from our neighbor to the north, Michigan.  The fruit is first picked fresh, cleaned, and then individually quick frozen (IQF).  This IQF process allows us to bring you the freshest tasting fruit fillings all year long.

What about our cream pies??  Nothing but whole milk, farm fresh eggs, and grade AA butter there.  We make our meringue from scratch using egg whites, and our cream is whipped fresh daily.  Not only that, but our bananas are received fresh every morning, and our key lime juice comes straight from Key West, Florida.

How do I get one?
