Pies By Mike — Restaurant in Clanton

Mike always greets everyone with a BIG smile. He has something for all sweet lovers. Whether it’s super duper sweet you like, tart, creamy or mild and tropical… He has a flavor for you! I personally do not love “pie”, but I don’t think of his as “pie”, though it is. His is a gooey chocolate chip cookie with a flakey crust, or a gooey fudgy brownie in a flakey crust and so on…

“Gooey” means moist and delicious, to me.

Also in the mornings and custom orders, you can get quilted pigs. (AKA cocktail size “pigs in a blanket”.)

Breakfast pie (AKA Country Folk “Quiche”) You get his yummy buttery flaky crust filled with with egg, cheese and meat. It’s basically a yummy breakfast casserole in crust. Yum!

You can get a cup of Joe and breakfast for about $5.

Also for those wondering, yes you can get pecan pie for breakfast. That’s me!!!! (Photo is actually my breakfast at 7:30 A.M. protein and carbs in one. Heck yeah let’s get this day going!)

He’s not open late so try to swing by before lunch or check the daily hours before driving too far. Mike does accommodate for whole pie purchases and...

You know when you’re driving on the interstate and you see a sign for a random restaurant or sweet shop and know it’s probably not worth the stop, this is NOT that place. Pull over, go out of your way if you have to for this pie shop. Every pie we tried was so good. Unique flavors you haven’t tried and then classics done right. A perfectly sweet, slightly tart key lime pie, a lemon mousse that’s like consuming a cloud, a peach buttermilk pie not even your grandma could make. Mike has a gift and that gift comes in the form of pie. Allison who helped us at the counter was probably the nicest person ever and will restore your faith in the fact that good customer service exists. Pies by Mike will be on every pit stop on any road trip...

My sister was driving from Detroit to Mobile, Al and near Clanton saw the sign on I65 for Pies By Mike. Thank goodness she did because now, no one in my family passes the exit without stopping and bringing pie home for everyone. They sell a large, changing variety of whole pies and pie slices. You can call ahead and if your favorite wouldn’t be on the menu they will make it. They close early but that doesn’t matter. They have a kind of pie vending machine room so after hours you can pick up one you ordered. Didn’t order one- there are extra slices and wholes in the case. Don’t miss this delicious pie shop.
