From weeknight dinners to family celebrations, Centerville Pie Co. continues to expand what comfort food means today.
The best comfort foods do something few products can accomplish.
They create memories.
A chicken pie was shared around the dinner table after a long day. A dessert brought out at a birthday celebration. A favorite family recipe that appears year after year during holidays and special gatherings.
For Centerville Pie Co., creating those memorable moments has been the mission from the very beginning. Founded in 2009 by long-time friends Laurie Bowen and Kristin Broadley, the company started as a humble pie shop on Cape Cod with a passion for crafting delicious, homemade-style pies.
What happened next helped put the brand on the national map.
Centerville Pie Co. became an overnight sensation when Oprah Winfrey tried its signature chicken pie and named it one of her “Favorite Things.” The recognition introduced the company to customers across the country and helped establish its reputation for exceptional comfort food.
Today, Centerville Pie Co. remains dedicated to delivering high-quality savory and sweet pies to customers throughout Cape Cod and nationwide. What began as a local pie shop has grown into a trusted brand known for handcrafted quality, traditional recipes, and products that bring people together.
Now, the company is taking another step forward with the introduction of its new Ice Cream Pie Collection and a small savory pie lineup featuring the Small Chicken Pot Pie, Small Shepherd’s Pie, and Small Chicken Pie without vegetables. These additions expand the company’s ability to serve customers across even more occasions.
The new launches reflect a broader shift in how consumers think about comfort food. Today’s shoppers are looking for products that deliver convenience without sacrificing quality, and indulgence without losing authenticity. Centerville Pie Co. believes it can offer both.
Recognized As The Best Chicken Pie In Massachusetts
Centerville Pie Co.’s commitment to handcrafted quality continues to earn recognition beyond Cape Cod.
The company was recently named the “Best Chicken Pie in Massachusetts of 2026“ by BestofBestReview.com, a prestigious authority that recognizes outstanding businesses and products.
The award honors the company’s signature chicken pie, the same recipe that gained national attention after being selected as one of Oprah Winfrey’s “Favorite Things.” As Centerville Pie Co. expands its lineup with new ice cream pies and small savory options, the recognition highlights the enduring popularity of the pie that helped build the brand’s reputation.
For founders Laurie Bowen and Kristin Broadley, the recognition serves as another milestone in the company’s journey from a small Cape Cod pie shop to one of the region’s most recognizable comfort food brands. It also reinforces the company’s commitment to quality, consistency, and delivering products that continue to bring families and communities together around the table.
Comfort Food Beyond The Holidays
Historically, pies have often been associated with holidays and special occasions.
Centerville Pie Co. has spent years helping change that perception.
Its savory pie lineup has become a practical meal solution for busy families, while its dessert offerings have become staples for celebrations throughout the year. The company’s newest products continue that evolution.
One of the most exciting additions is the new Ice Cream Pie Collection, bringing a refreshing twist to the company’s dessert offerings just in time for summer.
Featuring flavors such as Strawberry Cheesecake, Salted Caramel, and Death by Chocolate, the collection is designed to deliver bakery-quality desserts with the convenience of a frozen treat.
These are not simply frozen desserts.
They are celebration-ready centerpieces designed for birthdays, summer gatherings, holidays, family dinners, and everyday indulgence.
By combining handcrafted pie traditions with popular dessert flavors, Centerville Pie Co. is creating products that feel both familiar and fresh.
Customers visiting Cape Cod this summer can experience the new Ice Cream Pies firsthand at the company’s Centerville and Sandwich locations.
Meeting Consumers Where They Are
Centerville Pie Co.’s newest savory offerings reflect a similar understanding of changing consumer habits.
The new small savory pie lineup was developed for customers who want the comfort of a homemade meal without the time required to prepare one from scratch.
The lineup includes the Small Chicken Pot Pie, Small Shepherd’s Pie, and Small Chicken Pie without vegetables. Made with 100 percent white meat chicken, the Small Chicken Pie without vegetables joins two additional comforting options that deliver the homemade-style flavor and quality customers expect from Centerville Pie Co.
The smaller formats appeal to smaller households, busy professionals, and shoppers seeking convenient meals that maintain a sense of homemade quality. By balancing convenience, portion-conscious sizing, and familiar flavor, the lineup responds to changing consumer needs.
Staying True To What Built The Brand
For many food companies, growth can create challenges.
Expanding product lines often risks diluting the qualities that made a brand successful in the first place.
Centerville Pie Co. has approached expansion differently.
Rather than chasing trends, the company continues to build around the values that established its reputation: quality ingredients, handcrafted preparation, and recipes that prioritize flavor and consistency.
According to Founder and President Kristin Broadley, that commitment remains at the center of every product decision.
“Our customers want comfort they can trust, and these new pies deliver exactly that,” Broadley said. “From frozen ice cream pies for celebrations to small savory pies for weeknight dinners, we’re proud to offer products that feel homemade and taste exceptional.”
That philosophy helps explain why customers continue to return to the brand year after year.
While the products may evolve, the experience remains familiar.
As the company likes to say, “Give us a taste, we promise you’ll feel right at home.”
Building A Stronger Presence Beyond Cape Cod
The launch also signals continued momentum for the company’s retail expansion strategy.
As distribution grows through grocery partners and online ordering, Centerville Pie Co. is introducing its products to new customers while maintaining the local identity that has defined the brand.
This balance between regional authenticity and broader accessibility has become an important differentiator in today’s food industry.
Consumers increasingly want products with a genuine story behind them. They want brands that feel personal rather than corporate.
Centerville Pie Co.’s continued growth demonstrates that maintaining those roots can be a strength rather than a limitation.
The company is not attempting to reinvent comfort food.
Instead, it is finding new ways to deliver it.
A Future Built On Familiar Favorites
As food trends continue to change, one thing remains remarkably consistent: people still crave meals and desserts that feel comforting, authentic, and memorable.
That reality creates opportunities for brands that understand both tradition and innovation.
With the launch of its new Ice Cream Pie Collection and small savory pie lineup, Centerville Pie Co. is showing how an established brand can evolve while staying true to its identity.
Whether customers are celebrating a special occasion with an Ice Cream Pie or enjoying one of the new small savory pies for a quick weeknight dinner, the company’s mission remains the same.
Create food that brings people together.
