Who is the best @tbaymarket vendor? Our readers say it’s @pie.ology_ owned and operated by Malcolm and Amanda Hope. The Hopes were regular customers of Pie.ology when the previous owners announced that they were moving out of town and closing up. “What if we put in an offer,” joked Amanda, and the couple bought the business in October 2018.
A trip to the market isn’t complete without one of their pies, fresh and piping hot. Made from scratch with an all-butter pastry, the pies are perfect throughout with fillings ranging from savoury (various smoked meats from local butchers, @thunderoakcheese cheese, eggs, mac n’ cheese with pasta from @biglakepasta) to sweet (apple, pear, pumpkin, etc.).
