Tori Jane is a storm chaser, writer, photographer, and the village idiot - in that order. When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
Hey, so, quick question: what do you look for when choosing a place to go for, say, a day trip? Is it something about the surrounding natural beauty there, or is it the things to do in whatever town you end up in? Do you lean toward places where you already know people, or maybe places where you hope to make new friends? Okay, all of those are good starts, but what about pie? Yeah, pie. Hear us out: why not go somewhere that has a killer pie shop and simply expand your day trip from there? We think it’s genius. Well, it just so happens that Zionsville is the perfect place for this, and it’s home to a shop that might just have the best pie in Indiana. Once you’re done with the pie, explore the rest of the town, too.
My Sugar Pie began as a labor of love for a woman and her mother, and to this day, the pies they make here are absolutely unreal.
We're not sure if it's all that love that goes into each and every recipe or what, but man, this place has got what it takes to be considered among the best pie shops in Indiana.
Upon stepping into the Zionsville shop you'll immediately be greeted by two things: the absolutely amazing smell of freshly baked deliciousness, and a friendly, smiling face.
Good luck, however, figuring out what the heck you want. With more than 30 amazing flavors to choose from, we don't blame you for feeling a little overwhelmed (it's okay, we were too).
Advertisment
If we can make a suggestion? Go for the tried-and-true. The ultimate Indiana pie. The state pie. Sugar Cream Pie.
If cream pie isn't your thing, no worries - there's a huge selection of fruit pies, silk pies, seasonal pies, custom pies, and more. Pick up one (or 10, we don't judge) and indulge before checking out the rest of Zionsville.
With a population of just over 24,000, Zionsville is a lovely place to raise a family (or just to check out for the day).
It's got big-city spirit despite the fact it's a small town, and we think you'll love the sense of community shared here even with folks who are just visiting.
Explore shops and other interesting places, like the Sullivan-Munce Cultural Center or the Zionsville Nature Center.
Head to the Zionsville Cultural District and enjoy local arts and entertainment, as well as eateries you won't find anywhere else but right here. For the more outdoorsy among us, did you know Zionsville is home to the largest land-per-capita parks system in Indiana? It's true - enjoy countless parks and lots of awesome natural attractions sure to keep you visiting every time you get a chance.
So, really, you're going to want to come for the pie (but stay for the charm).
Zionsville is a little slice of utopia - or so it feels. Everyone here is just a little kinder, just a little friendlier, just a little more laid-back; you're sure to feel welcome and wanted here. It's definitely one of those places where everyone likes to learn your name.
You might find yourself so in love with the little town (and the pie contained within) that you'll feel the urge to move here.
We don't blame you; Zionsville is one of our favorite places, too.
