Updating my review, because I got to visit Generations Pie Company in person at their brick-and-mortar shop in downtown Fortville. My last interaction with them was several years ago at the Fishers Farmers Market. I popped into this ultra-purple pie shop and asked the kind woman behind the counter what kind of slices they had. (It turns out, she was the owner!) She rattled off some names, but my ears stopped listening when she said sugar cream pie. It's the official state pie of Indiana, don'tcha know? I love a good sugar cream pie. I got a slice of that. She asked me if I needed it to be put in a bag. I laughed and said no, because I would be eating it in the car. Just give me a fork. She looked taken aback. "IN THE CAR!" she exclaimed. I explained that I would be eating it while driving home. "WHILE DRIVING!" she said. I wanted to tell her that everything, including pie, tastes even better when you eat it while driving. There's nothing like holding your slice of pie or pizza or burrito with one hand, while driving with the other hand. Instead, I just smiled and nodded, and she nodded and gave me my pie and fork, and told me to have a good day. My sugar cream pie was good, and it was sturdy enough to ditch the plastic fork and just pick it up and eat it with one hand. Pie straight to the dome as I navigated roundabouts. The custard tasted like it had nutmeg in it, which added a nice spicy dimension. I wasn't a fan of the crust, though -- a little too tough. It tasted like a crust made with lard, not butter, which is not my favorite. At the pie shop, they have a lot of single-slice pies, mini pies and full pies in their refrigerated case, so there is something for every pie lover. read more

My beautiful wife & I picked up a Maria's Lemon Chess mini pie today at the Carmel Farmers market. The gentleman manning the booth was very friendly & helpful in helping us make the choice of which pie to take home. We just ate it & both of us thought it was great! The crust was flaky & the taste was very lemony without being overbearing. Based on this pie & the friendly service we will be getting more pies from Generations! read more

I tend to be hit-and-miss when it comes to pies, but I've come to appreciate Generations Pie Company. Generations, which is actually based in McCordsville, appears at a lot of festivals and farmer's markets around Central Indiana and is a near weekly presence at the Statehouse Market at the Indiana Government Center each Thursday. Generations Pie Company is a Black-owned, Woman-owned business started in 2016 by lifelong Hoosier Maria Johnson. Generations really emphasizes an individualized touch to the point that Each pie at Generations Pie is personalized with the name of the original baker of the recipe along with a brief story to tell. This is a unique, endearing feature and goes along with the fact that anyone I've ever spoken with from Generations has been super friendly and hospitable. While most of the Statehouse Market involves food trucks, Generations is typically present under a Generations-branded canopy. They have right around a couple dozen different pie options along with some sweet breads, cinnamon rolls, and occasional other options. Yes, it's true. They are a bit more expensive than your usual store-bought pies - however, they're definitely on par with most local bakeries and locally owned places. I love the cinnamon rolls. Maria's Peanut Butter Pie is better than sex (Okay, I'm exaggerating - it's still pretty awesome). I really want to Grandma Hattie Leota's Apple Pie, though I've never much been into apple pie and I'm always afraid to insult the grandparents. Maria credits Grandma Hattie with teaching her how to bake. Maria's a graduate of Butler and Anderson University and was working as an accountant until her entrepreneurial spirit got the best of her in 2016 and she started Generations. I'm sure glad she did and I'm sure glad she brings Generations regularly to the Statehouse Market. The main pick-up location for Generations is: GenKit 230 S. Main St Fortville, IN Tuesday-Friday 12:00-5:00m Saturday 2:00pm-5:00pm(by appt only) Sunday-Monday: Closed (Order 24-48 hours in advance) read more

During rhubarb season, I tried their strawberry rhubarb version and was very impressed. Great and tasty pie filling and delicious flaky dough. Their pies taste as good as their beautiful packaging that always includes their signature purple ribbon. I haven't been to the store front/kitchen. I purchased at their tent at the Carmel's Farmers Market. If you're looking to get one of their delicious pies- you better arrive early. Support local - you'll be back for more. read more

The service is great and the cinnamon rolls are DELICIOUS! I also love the mini pie bites.

I see this company at random special food-related and locally-made events around the Circle City. I have tried samples of their pies and have purchased a cinnamon rolls. They are always very friendly and helpful in answering any questions/concerns you might have. I remember having a chocolate pie sample that was delicious, but I have a weakness for cinnamon rolls, so I went with one of these. Not the best cinnamon roll I've ever had, but they were delicious! Definitely try a sample if you see them out and about at events! read more

Tried their cinnamon roll at a weekly food truck (they have a tent) gathering at my place of employment. It is quite good, if a little pricey. I would get it again (or try the pecan roll). read more

Caramel Apple Pie had undercooked crust top and dried out brownish grey apples inside. I purchased a small pie at the Fishers Farmers Market and threw it out. read more

We had heard about Generations Pie Company, so we gave it a try this Thanksgiving. Never again. We were so disappointed. First, the man working at the Fortville location was rude when my husband picked up. The caramel apple pie was terrible. It was so watery, the crust was soft. The pumpkin seemed under cooked and very little filling. My family all said a grocery pie would have been better. Thank goodness I had made another dessert. That is what everyone ate. My dad who loves sweets, didn't even want the leftover pie. We threw it out. read more

Prior to Covid I was looking forward to trying out the pies. Bought Lemon chess pie, small size, and sweet potato pie, also small size. Lemon chess was a new pie taste for me. Sweet potato pie wasn't the sweet taste I was looking for. I will have to try the bourbon pecan next. read more

Tried this from a Farmer's Market. Unfortunately, the crust was underbaked and dry, and the inside of the pie had filling that was a bit over seasoned. Although, The sticky bun I had was quite delicious. read more

GPC is a regular at the Government Building on Food Truck Thursdays. Today I wanted a dessert to go with my lunch. I was very disappointed!! I couldn't afford the $11 single pie so I purchased the $5 slice of Lemon Chess pie. It wasn't good at all!!! It tasted old, the crust was bland & tasteless & the custard didn't taste at all like lemon & was not sweet. I hate that I wasted $5. I was trying to support my own but 1 bad experience is likely to have me avoiding another purchase with GPC. I surely will not recommend them to anyone. read more

I tried winston's chocolate bourbon pecan pie and I think I ascended straight into the heavens. It was delicious. Wish I had a picture to share but I ate it too fast. Going to the farmers market again this weekend specifically for this pie. If I could give 100 stars I would. read more

Absolutely delicious.. my only reason for getting out of bed on a Saturday morning (Binford Farmers Market)

I bought a small Apple Pie at the farmer's market. The crust was very underbaked to the point where it seemed raw so I didn't feel safe eating it. I ended up eating some filling and the top crust (which was fine) so I wouldn't waste all of my money, and it was pretty good, but I have a hard time getting past raw crust. read more

Very weird ... called today and the person just answered the phone hello ?!? Like we were bothering them . Suggestions : "Hello thank you for calling Generation Pie Company" Asked about a special they said they weren't doing anymore , no information about the pies were given or what the weekly special was exactly ? The website suggests differently . Won't go there just based on poor customer service ..... read more

Had these pies multiple times and they keep getting better every time!! The family ALWAYS fights over the last piece of Strawberry rhubarb.
