Cheryl Perry and Felipa Lopez opened Pie Corps last October at 77 Driggs Avenue with two missions in mind: to bring back the popularity of the savory pie, and to debunk the idea that pie must always be unhealthy.
Perry and Lopez remember growing up at a time when savory pies were a far more popular dinner choice than they are now. “We’re starting to read labels more and question where our food comes from. Pies went from being made on the farm, to being made in factories with preservatives, and it turned into maybe something that we didn’t really want to eat,” Perry says.
