What Does Your Favorite Pie Say About You?

No-Sugar Added Pie – It’s Worth It!
September 2, 2025
Some people wait until the holidays to give gifts. At Mehaffies Pies, we think any time is the right time to surprise someone with a homemade pie. Birthdays, anniversaries, job promotions, moving days, new babies, or just because, it doesn’t matter the reason or the season. There’s always someone who could use a little comfort, a taste of home, or a good excuse to gather around the table.
The Gift That Says “I’m Thinking of You”
There’s something special about giving a pie. It’s personal. It’s warm. It shows you took the time to pick out something made with care and intention. At Mehaffies Pies, we’ve been handcrafting pies for over 90 years, and every crust, filling, and forkful is packed with the same love we’d put into a pie for our own family.
Whether it’s a flaky fruit pie bursting with fresh flavor or one of our rich, cream pies, a Mehaffies Pie doesn’t just say “congratulations” or “thank you”, it says “you matter.”
Yes, Pie in August. Especially in August.
We know what you’re thinking, pie in the summer? Isn’t that a fall or holiday thing? Not here. In Ohio, August means family cookouts, reunions at the lake, and lazy Sunday afternoons on the porch. And what goes better with all that than a slice of pie?
Cherry pie after burgers on the grill. Coconut Cream chilled and served poolside. Apple Pie to wrap up a sunny picnic. There’s no wrong time for pie, but there are so many right ones, and summer might just be the best.
Bringing People Together, One Slice at a Time
At its core, pie is about sharing. You don’t usually eat a whole pie by yourself (though we’d never judge you if you did). Pie is something you place in the center of the table and invite others to dig in. It’s about togetherness.
Whether you’re mailing a pie to a friend across the state, dropping one off for a neighbor who’s having a rough week, or showing up at a gathering with your favorite flavor in hand, a Mehaffies pie brings people closer. It starts conversations. It sparks memories. It turns ordinary moments into something worth celebrating.
More Than Dessert, It’s Tradition
When you give someone a Mehaffies pie, you’re giving them more than dessert. You’re giving them tradition. Our recipes have been passed down and perfected for generations. You’re giving them a taste of Dayton, of family, of home. And in a world that moves a little too fast, that kind of gift means something.
So if you’re looking for a way to show you care, no matter the month, no matter the heat, consider a pie. Wrapped up with ribbon, topped with a smile, and made from scratch right here in our Dayton, Ohio kitchen.
Whether you're planning ahead or need a last-minute pick-me-up for someone special, we've got you covered:
- Call ahead for custom orders or large quantities.
- Stop by our shop and pick from our ready-to-go selection.

Because it’s always the season for kindness. And it’s always the season for pie!
