I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
There’s a scene in “Harold and the Purple Crayon” where the titular crayon-wielding tot conjures up a spread of pies; a picnic with “nothing but pie,” including “all nine kinds of pie that Harold liked best.” Well, Harold would be quite happy here in Oregon, where we have everything from summer-fresh cherry and blueberry pies to PNW classics like marionberry and huckleberry pie! Today, though, we’re sticking close to Portland, visiting six different pie shops on an epic road trip adventure. Bring your appetite; you’ll want to try all.the.pies on this ultimate pie shop road trip in Oregon!
This epic Oregon pie shop road trip visits six pie shops in and around Portland, covering 126 miles and taking about three hours of drive time, making it doable in a day, though you'll want to confirm bakery hours on the date you plan to take this journey.
Farm-fresh ingredients, time-honored recipes, and pies hand-made with love, Pacific Pie Company is everything you could possibly want in a pie shop - and more! The seasonal pies made with locally-sourced blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries are always a hit, as are the spiced, seasonal pies offered during the holidays.

2. Shari's - Beaverton
Shari's Cafe and Pies, 11335 NE Airport Way, Portland, OR 97220, USA
This pie shop in McMinnville, Oregon, is a bit more under-the-radar than some of the others on this road trip, but it's 100% worth seeking out. This family-owned pie shop in Oregon has been going strong for three generations, and, in addition to delicious pies, they're also known for their fresh fruit jams and syrups.
4. Willamette Valley Pie Company
Willamette Valley Pie Co. Farm Retail Store, 2994 82nd Ave NE, Salem, OR 97305, USA
One of the most well-known pie shops in Oregon, Willamette Valley Pie Company boasts a near-endless array of delicious pies, baked fresh and from-scratch daily. There are dozens of delicious pie varieties here; from marionberry and cherry to raspberry rubarb and caramel apple, your every pie craving will be satisfied.
5. Banning's Restaurant & Pie House - Tigard
Banning's Restaurant & Pie House, 11477 SW Pacific Hwy, Tigard, OR 97223, USA
With accolades such as "Best Pies in Oregon" and "Best Diner in Oregon," Banning's Restaurant & Pie House has a lot to live up to. But this bakery/diner in Tigard more than delivers, especially with its holiday classics like apple and pumpkin.
6. The Pie Spot - Portland
The Pie Spot, 521 NE 24th Ave, Portland, OR 97232, USA
A perennial PDX favorite, the Pie Spot is a cozy and charming little bakery that is known far and wide for their pies: sweet and savory, big pies or bite-sized pies. We're partial to the marrionberry pie, a delightful, only-in-Oregon creation bursting with juicy, sweet, purple-hued berries!
Cherry, huckleberry, marionberry – oh my! Or, should we say, oh pie! What’s your favorite pie shop in Oregon? If we missed it on this road trip, nominate it and we’ll be sure to include it in an upcoming Only In Oregon article!
