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,”

Reviews
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.
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.
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 .
Peanut butter pie and Turtle pie. They were out of pecan. They also have Large pies as well.
When in town, we always grab one of her homemade pies. Made with love, for sure!
Here for Thanksgiving and back again to enjoy her delicious pies!
This time, we are taking a couple of pies home to enjoy in Washington state.
And love all MeLisa does for our community!! Heart of gold!!!
