Kermit’s Key West Key Lime Shoppe, Key West
Tourists have been bringing Kermit Carpenter’s
legendary pies home from Key West for more than
20 years. He’s famous for serving chocolate-dipped
frozen slices at the shop—so if you order a pie, you
might want to throw in a few of those, too.

Dangerously Delicious Pies, Baltimore
Baltimore Bomb Pie is a Maryland twist on chess pie: It has
a similar creamy custard center, but then it’s smothered with
fudgy Berger cookies, a local treat. Dangerously Delicious Pies
sends its pies baked and ready to eat, but the owners suggest
warming them up so the fudge bits get perfectly gooey.

Willamette Valley Pie Company, Salem
Fruit breeders at Oregon State University created the
marionberry in 1948, and a perfect pie filling was born:
It tastes like a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry.
Willamette Valley Pie Company, which started as a
berry grower and cannery, now grows about 12 million
pounds of fruit every year to make its pies.
