Mr Dye's Pies

Recently, Mr. Dye's Pies launched housemade pasties! I tried the beef pasty, made with well-seasoned ground beef and potatoes, and the mushroom pasty, made with 3 types of mushrooms, celery, and carrots and seasoned with thyme and turmeric. All pasties are baked and heated in the oven when ordered.The beef pasty is finished with an egg wash before baking, which is where it gets it's sheen and crisp crust. They currently offer nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, and a creamy sausage gravy, but the pasties I tasted did not need gravy. Many eat their pasties with ketchup, and I prefer a beef gravy, but again, these did not need gravy. They were seasoned perfectly, and the crust was thin enough that I wasn't struggling to swallow it, like most other pasties that have thick or dense and dry crusts. I was told a third pasty is coming soon, featuring Maxwell Street Polish sausage and caramelized onions, and they plan to offer a gluten free option soon, as well.So now you can get dinner and dessert from Mr. Dye's Pies, and I highly recommend you try these pasties soon! For dessert, my favorites pies are the Wisconsin Old Fashioned Cherry, N'awlins Pecan, and Key Lime pies. They also make a delicious banana bread, too.

Great customer service and they had samples so I was able to try the purple yam pie before I bought it which was awesome. The pie was excellent. The crust was perfectly flaky and had excellent flavor as well as the pie. This place is definitely worth a try!!

Saw a story about this place on the news a while ago so I bookmarked it and planned on stoping in some day. Well today was the day, and it won't be the last! It is a little weird, very little signage on the road. Just a small sign that says PIES. Then when you park in the back of the building, there is no real direction as to where to go. But there is only one door, so I took a chance! Inside there was another sign that said "ring bell for Mr. Dye's Pies".A few steps further there was a billboard menu with their products. We ordered 2 half pies, one Key Lime and the other Blueberry to serve with Easter dinner tomorrow. Luckily I "checked in" on YELP! Because I got a free slice of pie! With the free piece I chose the Pecan Pie. Oh my god was that good! Easily the best Pecan Pie I've ever had! Not too sweet, yet so tasty. Full of toasted pecans and the crust was excellent. Maybe the weirdness of the place is it's charm. But the pie is legit.

The owner REALLY cares about his product and his customers. SO MANY FAVORITES! The cherry and the key lime are my faves for summer. And when I'm feeling down, the classic and the pecan. And when I'm EXTRA hungry, that peanut butter one hits the spot! lol Have it with a scoop of good vanilla ice cream of course :)And please do not sleep on the banana bread, it's the BEST IN THE CITY. I haven't tried the meat pies yet, so I look forward to trying those. Great service and Super Delicious Pies. I wish he'd make a french silk one next!

The cherry pie and blueberry walnut bread were so delicious! Server was helpful and accommodsting. Worth a visit

Amazing customer service and tasty pie to go with it. My husband is not a sweets guy and absolutely loved the key lime pie!

A sign at their booth at the Dane County Farmer's Market in Madison said "Life Changing Key Lime Pie"... how could I resist? And it's true! Now I've moved to Madison and go to the Farmer's Market every week They have many other flavors that look great but I figure how could any possibly be better than this?!

Found this gem in the MKE market and it was SOOO worth it! We got the blueberry pie - delicious and not overly sweet, the Purple Monster - tastes slightly like pumpkin pie and is smooth and well balanced, and the Carver. The Carver was our family's favorite since we're partial to peanut butter and it had great texture. The banana nut bread is also fantastic! We will be back when we're in the area again :)

Best pecan pie I've ever had!!! It was delicious. The crust was perfect. Next time I want to try the blueberry pie.

I like the Key Lime Pie. However, when I went to buy one this morning at 10:45 am, there was no one on site, all dark at their shop in the 3rd st market downtown. All the nearby food stalls were open and someone told me Mr. Dyes opens at 11 am, so I waited, no one showed up. Not a good way to run a business.
