Melisa became the Pie Lady because two little boys needed a forever home. All great stories – and pies – start with a pinch of love. The boys, her great nephews, had been through a lot in their short lives. The 10-year-old lived with his elderly grandmother, and the 6-year-old was placed in the Alabama foster care system. Melisa, her husband and her teen sons knew what had to be done. The boys needed to join their family in Texas. Melisa began to bake pies as a way to raise money for legal fees. The fundraiser became a full-time job, and Melisa began working out of a commercial kitchen. A year and a half later, she had raised enough to bring Landen and Levi into her home. “They are so grateful to be here, and we feel blessed to have them,”

My cousin who was visiting from California found this place when she came to visit cause she was craving something sweet. It is a little quaint place. The owner was super sweet. There are so many different choices of pies. My favorite one was the coconut cream one. We got a few others that everyone else liked. Will definitely be back for more.

I went in looking for a French silk pie for my wife, her absolute favorite. They were sold out, but Melissa still went out of her way to make a fresh one just for me. About an hour later, the pie was ready.
My wife said it was hands down the best French silk pie she’s ever had.
This place has such a warm, homely feel, you can tell everything is made with care. Melissa was incredibly kind and welcoming, and that personal touch makes all the difference.
If you ever want a pie, this is the place to be. You truly can’t go wrong here.

It’s so awesome that MeLisa has gluten-free pies and mini pies! I called and requested the turtle crunch. She didn’t have any already made, but was able to put it together in just the time it took me to drive there. It tasted delicious. 100% will be going back.

I visited MeLisa the Pie Lady today with the expectation of finding sweet potato pies, but unfortunately, she doesn’t sell them. That was completely fine—the shop itself is very charming, and I appreciated the cozy, well-thought-out aesthetic. Since I was already there, I decided to try a different pie instead.
Before purchasing, the lady working there made a comment that caught me off guard. She said, “You know this isn’t an area with a lot of AA people, so you won’t really find any sweet potato pies,” and she prefaced the statement by saying she didn’t mean it to sound prejudiced. At the time, I let her know I didn’t take offense. However, after reading some of the other reviews and seeing how paying customers were addressed in responses, I’m left wondering why it was even brought up. In my opinion, such remarks—regardless of intent—can be unnecessary and alienating, especially in a diverse society where inclusivity should be the standard.
As for the pie I did purchase (pecan), I was honestly disappointed. It lacked flavor, the filling was underwhelming, and the crust crumbled, it split down the middle upon removing it from the plastic container. For the price, I expected much better quality.
Would I return? Probably not. I do believe as well as she knows, she has a loyal customer base in that area and that her pies may be more appealing to their preferences. However, as someone in my line of work who values equity, social justice, and respectful communication in all spaces—including small businesses—this experience left me with mixed feelings. I drove pretty far to patronize the business so a replacement wouldn’t suffice, either way.
Update: 6/27/25 in response to MeLisa— 1. simply take it as constructive criticism. 2. research intent vs impact. 3. This further proves my review regarding cultural insensitivity. 4. Based on your response, my review stands as is and substantiates the aforementioned concerns with your view, which alienates/excludes other cultures.

1 a good pie shop is hard to find. But Melissa has been able to make baking and running a business. I ask 2 questions about baking what was her fav pie to bake and what is the hardest to bake. She thought for a few seconds and replied I love baking them all. For the hardest she said all fruit pies. This told me that her love of baking knows no limit. The cherry pie was amazing not to sweet and not too tart. The crust was perfect. It will be in the rotation. We have several more to try but here’s a deep and happy thank you for the pies. Just returned to my new addiction. The connut cream pie is to turn a bad day to one of turning a frown into a smile. Very smooth and silky taste, flavor and mix . I’m in ok I’m in love with pies,as I stated hard to find good pies. This what Melisa was born to do. There is seasonal pie and it just might be what will be her most beloved pie and its Chocolate peppermint and I can’t spell the word c. But you should try it even if you don’t like peppermints. It will freak out with love
7 I have now tried the salted caramel apple pie my husband had tried it already ,so this pie is beyond my wooded dreams.
Y’all need to try this shop you just might fall in love like both my husband and I .

Sooo good! I came in and bought a pumpkin pie mini and pre-ordered a few mini meringue chocolate pies and they were AMAZING! I have been looking forever for a local place that can make a delicious meringue pie and I didn’t realize this was so close to me! I will definitely be coming back any chance I get a sweet craving. I follow Melissa the Pie lady on Facebook and she frequently posts specials like cakes, pies, cookies, and cupcakes. I can’t wait to come back! Thank you for the delicious pies.
