"The emphasis at Hoosier Mama is on pie, and you shouldn’t come here without getting at least one piece, although you’ll probably be tempted to leave with five. They’re all exceptionally good, from chocolate cream to whatever fruit options they have that day. There are also delicious savory options, like quiche, sandwiches, and salads. Come here to get some work done in the natural-light-filled space, or just to catch up with friends. And pie. You definitely need to catch up with pie." - adrian kane
"So Hoosier Mama is actually fully booked for Thanksgiving pre-orders, but they will have a few available on a first-come, first-served basis from both their Chicago and Evanston locations on November 22 and 23. Aside from varieties like pumpkin and apple, they also have interesting flavors like the Queen Victoria with banana, peanut butter, and marshmallow, and a savory pork apple sage pie. Put someone else on basting duty and get there early." - john ringor
"Thanksgiving pre-orders are closed at Hoosier Mama, but every day some extra pies become available due to cancelled orders, which you can track here. If you don’t feel like spending the next three days refreshing your #pietracker, they have first-come, first-served pies available from 11/24-11/26 at both the Chicago and Evanston locations." - adrian kane
"A Chicago-based mini chain owned by Paula Haney with a location in Evanston, Illinois, this bakery is celebrated for its savory pies that can convert even the most devoted sweet‑pie lovers. The chicken pot pie arrives in a flaky double crust laced with fresh thyme and is filled with shredded dark meat simmered in a cognac-spiked stock, tender onions, carrots and sweet peas all folded into a silken, peppery béchamel — warming, complex yet familiar. Regulars also rave about an ever-changing roster of flavors, from a smoky barbecue pork pie to a warming curry lamb, making it a comforting, adventurous destination for anyone discovering savory pies." - ByJesse Sparks
