“At her Lower East Side bakeshop, Petra “Petee” Paredez makes treats using wholesome ingredients like seasonal local produce, organic flour, grass-fed butter, and natural fair-trade sweeteners, so you can feel good while indulging.”

There's really nothing that beats the smell of a fresh-baked pie that's just come out of the oven, and for passersby like Ly Ngo, the best pies are served at Petee's. Order a whole pie to bring to your next dinner party or event, or, do what we did, and stop by the shop to enjoy a quick—and delicious—slice.

In addition to a menu that always includes more flavors than you'll be able to choose from, like Hudson Valley Apple, Coconut Cream, and Salty Chocolate Chess, Petee's Pie Company also goes above and beyond to offer gluten-free and vegan options.

During our recent visit, we tried four of Petee's incredible flavors: Key Lime Meringue, Sour Cherry, Gluten-Free/Vegan Rhubarb, and Banana Cream, all of which we're still relishing the taste of. Each bite was rich, delicious, and proof that using high-quality, fresh ingredients clearly pays off.
