Pots & Pans Pie Company expands with new Monon Trail location

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Each and every Saturday, WISH-TV highlights a local company together with our partners at Indiana Grown.

This week, Clarissa Morley with Pots & Pans Pie Company joined Stacy Schooler on News 8 Daybreak to share updates about the recent expanding of the company and of course, curb our sweet tooths with a few yummy desserts!

Pots and Pans Pie Company began operations in 2016 by serving five local farmers’ markets during its first summer. Following two years as a mobile vendor, the business expanded into its first brick-and-mortar storefront at 49th Street and College Avenue in 2018.

The company produces pies, cookies, and other various pastries by utilizing local Indiana farms to supply their seasonal menu. They primarily work with with Becker Farms to obtain meat, eggs and milk. Fruit for summer pies is sourced from Garwood Orchard and the company also partners with Gunthorpe for additional supplies.

Apple pie and sugar creme brulee are permanent menu items, but the rest of the selection changes throughout the year. Morley explained that the offerings are dictated by the Indiana harvest. “Every other month we rotate our menu seasonally,” Morley said. “When rhubarb’s in season we have rhubarb, when raspberry is in season we have raspberry pie.”

For customers looking for savory options and a “easy recipe,” the shop sells frozen take-and-bake pot pies. Morley said that these allow customers to take credit for baking a fresh meal at home. “You baked it at home, so that is true,” Morley said.

The business recently expanded with a new location in early October at 54th Street and the Monon Trail. This outpost operates differently than the main bakery, serving as what Morley described as a “glorified concession stand.” The location features community-focused items such as local hot dogs, popcorn, milkshakes, ice cream, and tiny chicken pot pies. Old fashioned candies are also available.

“So after somebody is walking on the Monon Trail, after all the calories they’ve lost, they can come get some new treats!” Schooler said jokingly.

Pots & Pans Pie Company offers national shipping through Goldbelly. If interested in purchasing any products, be sure to check out their website and give them a follow on social media for monthly menu updates and more!
