You Need Pie!
A family pie shop in Estes Park.

The Jackson family took the keys to the bakery in May 2025. Two parents, two kids in local schools, three generations of pie-crust intuition, and twenty years of recipes the previous owners baked by hand — passed down, kept on the menu, and pulled from the oven every morning at 7,500 feet.

Steam rising from the pie

Whole pies only

Every pie, every day, in two whole-pie sizes.

Order individual-size for a quiet supper, or full-size when the table is long. Fruit pies come with the house crumb topping; lattice is available only by special order or request.

Stop in for a whole pie, fresh from the oven.

The case rotates every morning — twenty to thirty whole pies in both our individual-size and full-size, baked at altitude with crumb topping as standard on fruit pies. Lattice is available only by special order or request. Bring the family, take a pie home for supper, and meet the kids behind the counter.

What a You Need Pie! wedding looks like

Bookings close two to four months out. Send us your date, headcount, and venue and we’ll sketch the menu around altitude, season, and what’s leaning out of the oven that week.
