If you desire a specific type of pie from the menu, please make a special order! Q - How do I place a special order? A - We prefer you call the shop at 434.977.0443. We are a small, busy shop and may not be able to answer the phone immediately, but please leave a brief message with your name and contact info so we can return your call.

Greetings from New Joyzee!

I'll be leading a workshop on how food tells your story this weekend and talking about the theology of risk (and cooking) for First Thursday dinner next week.

I can tell my story in 5 bites:
A sugared strawberry
Cheese toast
Confit tomatoes
Buttermilk biscuits
Lemon shortbread

Grateful to be back at my alma mater to share the gospel of food and eating, drinking, being merry as an act of resistance.

For the dinner next week, I'm making our Crab and Sweet Corn pot pies but playing around with an Old Bay and Chive pie crust. If it's a hit, look for it this summer!

Thank you for your continued support - from the brick and mortar years to whatever this thing is I'm doing now ("pie guerilla" is my fav so far), your patronage has been one of the best things.
Back in February, we did a pop-up and it went mostly well, but I did not do a great job of setting expectations ahead of time. Calling it a pop-up was not really accurate. It was more of a menu takeover - Ethos, my host, is not set up to be a to-go spot. So there was a bit of confusion and frustration. This was in no way designed to be exclusionary.
Pie is all about joy.
So, for our Spring event, we encourage dine-in (and if you dine-in, you can order anything you want to-go), but will gladly offer to-go with a small retail purchase from Ethos. If you are immunocompromised and dining in is burdensome, please let me know.
Now that I am back in a baking kitchen, I'll be doing events year-round until my body gives out or someone kidnaps me - wine dinners, vegetarian dinners, alcohol-free dinners, Pie Fest, pie orders, Pie Academy, etc.

XO.
