A Portable Slice of Pie
Sarah Warner was an avid home baker. If you follow her Instagram account, @sarahmakesit, it comes as no surprise she is now in the hand-pie-making business. When co-owners Michael Templeman and Johnny Duncan approached her about opening
Pie Fight, a pickup-window bakery, during the pandemic offering only hand pies, the ever-optimistic Warner said, Sure, why not?
How s business?
What kept you going over the past year?
For us, we grew very slowly; we did not have any grandiose ideas. Because we were just a walk-up window and because our product is fairly simple we just sell five flavors at a time so we decided we would go into this not with great expectations of opening this grand kitchen of selling hundreds of pies. We opened in a very tiny space, like the size of closet. We made it simple, and we grew as we went.
