Pie Town, New Mexico is a real place that exists and it is famously known for serving up the best pies!

Pie Town, New Mexico, is a small, unincorporated community located in Catron County, in the western part of the state. It's situated along U.S. Route 60 and is renowned for its rich history and unique cultural identity, primarily centered around its tradition of making and serving delicious pies.

The town got its name in the 1920s when Clyde Norman, a local baker, began making and selling pies to travelers passing through the area. His pies gained popularity, and the name "Pie Town" stuck. Pie Town has a small, tight-knit community with a population of fewer than 200 people. The town embraces its quirky name and heritage with pride.

Pie Town is home to several pie shops, each with its own unique recipes and flavors. One of the most popular spot is the Gatherin' Place!

One of the most notable events in Pie Town is the annual Pie Festival, held on the second Saturday of September. This event features pie-baking contests, games, live music, and, of course, plenty of pies to enjoy!
