Devin Salvione - Pony Pies

A charming one-person pie venture where every creation is a labor of love!​ Pony Pies began when I started baking thanks to some important people in my life during the COVID-19 pandemic, where it was discovered that I was actually really good at baking. ​As an LGBTQ-friendly business, I pride myself on fostering a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. My passion for pie-making goes beyond tradition—I love experimenting with unique flavors and combinations, ensuring that each pie is a delightful surprise. Using only the freshest ingredients, I craft each pie from scratch, focusing on quality and flavor. Whether it's a classic favorite or an adventurous new creation, my goal is to create pies that bring joy to your table. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching others savor my pies and share smiles over every delicious slice.
