A friend of the family brought a few of these pies for our Fourth of July celebration. There were so good, I knew I needed to revisit. My Dad is a huge pie fan and I was traveling across the country to see him. I wanted to pick up some pies to travel home with. Staff was helpful and patient as I selected the pies I felt would travel best and meet his preferences. I was happy to see they offer mini pies in addition to their large pie selection. The large pies are $34-36. The mini pies are $7-8. I went with the minis for travel and trial purposes. My Dad was blown out of the water with how great these pies were. He said he'd like to visit in person when he gets a chance one day. Some of his favorite pies he's had! The store was quiet and clean. Parking was a breeze as they are part of a less trafficked plaza area. read more

This is the best place to get pies! They have so many different flavors and they're all mini pies so you can try different ones. They specialize in pies so you know it's going to be good. All the pies are made fresh with love. The people working there was also very sweet and helpful. I loved all the pies I got. I loved their chocolate cream pie! It was rich, creamy and not too sweet. It had this really good graham cracker crust. The strawberry pie was sweet, tangy and creamy. The salted caramel apple pie wasn't too sweet and had the best crumbles. I gotta come back to get a peach pie read more

Was in the mood for apple pie. So drive there asap. Walked picked up 2 apple 1 cherry pie. The small pies. Tried the apple it was horrible nasty. No flakiness didn't seem fresh . the inside of the pie wasnt tasty. I was so disappointed. The cherry was a bit better. But age pie crust in both is a major let down. These pies are super market level. No way am I going back. Sorry. I really wanted the pies to be a hit.also the credit card fee should only be 3.00 by law read more

I WILL give this place a 2nd chance, but this review focuses on the lone pie we got - a classic pumpkin pie. For the price and knowing MeLisa has a local cult following, I expected the best pumpkin pie I'd ever had. I was SO excited. So the rating is not based on a bad pie - it's based on a so-so pie. It was okay. It was decent. And boy was that disappointing. Could have gotten the same or maybe better at 1/3 the price. Everyone with me agreed, unfortunately - it wasn't just me. Service and ambiance was great. Super nice folks. Loved meeting MeLisa, who stayed at her store until midnight the night before baking pies for folks to pick up the day before Thanksgiving. I am SO rooting for this place to continue to thrive. And I'll give them one more shot. Next time I'll order their top 2 sellers: chocolate pie or pecan pie (although I'll probably try chocolate bourbon pecan). Pumpkin is apparently their #3 seller. Maybe I just got an "off" pumpkin pie?? Dunno, but I was sad. read more

I got the strawberry pie, and it was delicious! Just the right amount of sweet, but not too sweet. I definitely wanna come back and try more pies! read more

My cousin who was visiting from California found this place when she came to visit cause she was craving something sweet. It is a little quaint place. The owner was super sweet. There are so many different choices of pies. My favorite one was the coconut cream one. We got a few others that everyone else liked. Will definitely be back for more. read more

I've been eating MeLisa's for years now and love her mini pies. A few standouts for me are the oreo, buttermilk, chess and chocolate silk. Service is always friendly, and I go enough to have been able to take advantage of the loyalty program and get a free pie on my bdays. Support this local business, the pies are great! read more

Everything we tried was great. Key lime pie was exceptionally great. I regret not getting more.

What a amazing pie shop that I have discovered during my stay in The Colony, TX! I found this cutesy bakery on Yelp! I was searching for bakeries near my Airbnb to purchase some thank you gifts. And I landed on MeLisa's pie shop! The bakery was quaint with vibrant paint colors & a beautiful display of pies! I immediately honed in on the Oreo cream mini pie from the refrigerated display. My husband & I tried the Oreo cookie, Salted Caramel Dutch apple, Key Lime, banana cream, and peanut butter mini pies. I loved all of them, except for the key lime pie. For some reason, the key lime filling was too runny for my liking. My FAV ones were Salted Caramel apple & banana cream pies!! The apple one had buttery & cinnamon-ey crumbles atop. And the pie had the perfect shortbread crust and soft pieces of Granny Smith apples enmeshed with nutmeg & cinnamon flavors. It was the BEST apple pie I've ever had. We will definitely revisit this wonderful pie shop, the next time we are in The Colony, TX. read more

I visited MeLisa the Pie Lady today with the expectation of finding sweet potato pies, but unfortunately, she doesn't sell them. That was completely fine--the shop itself is very charming, and I appreciated the cozy, well-thought-out aesthetic. Since I was already there, I decided to try a different pie instead. Before purchasing, the lady working there made a comment that caught me off guard. She said, "You know this isn't an area with a lot of AA people, so you won't really find any sweet potato pies," and she prefaced the statement by saying she didn't mean it to sound prejudiced. At the time, I let her know I didn't take offense. However, after reading some of the other reviews and seeing how paying customers were addressed in responses, I'm left wondering why it was even brought up. In my opinion, such remarks--regardless of intent--can be unnecessary and alienating, especially in a diverse society where inclusivity should be the standard. As for the pie I did purchase (pecan), I was honestly disappointed. It lacked flavor, the filling was underwhelming, and the crust crumbled, it split down the middle upon removing it from the plastic container. For the price, I expected much better quality. Would I return? Probably not. I do believe as well as she knows, she has a loyal customer base in that area and that her pies may be more appealing to their preferences. However, as someone in my line of work who values equity, social justice, and respectful communication in all spaces--including small businesses--this experience left me with mixed feelings. I drove pretty far to patronize the business so a replacement wouldn't suffice, either way. read more

My favorite pies! Apple and cherry are incredible, but you can't go wrong with anything here.

Honestly, why are you getting pies from anywhere else? The mini pies are absolute perfection!

100% Legit - I love pies. MeLisa is one of my favs and we always go to her for a pie hookup. I love her fruit pies and her key lime is delicious. Never disappointed. We've been going to her since she started from her home kitchen and selling on facebook. And yes, if she has any of her friend's fresh baked bread, pick up a few loves. They go fast and they are great. read more

Pro tip: You're not limited to the flavors on the menu and can do special requests . So if you're a pumpkin pie lover, you don't have to wait til fall. This place is such a lovely and delicious discovery. When you run your fork on the top of the apple pie crust, you can just hear that solid, crispy top shell. The pie crust wasn't soggy and had a rich taste that complimented the slight tart apple flavor. The chocolate mini cream pie was just heaven when you bite into it. It's just a smooth decadent taste that just melts in your mouth. We also got to meet Melisa and she was just the loveliest person. You can just see the pride and joy she has in her amazing pies. read more

I always enjoy my experience at this sweet dessert shop. They have a full array of mini pies on a glass display and most of the flavors are unique or safe for those non-adventurous eaters! Pies are a bit higher priced (7.99 for about a ~4 inch round) but for a local shop, I'm not fussing. The pies are delicious and just the right amount of sweet! Minimal seating but generally not an issue and staff are super sweet! read more

I've tried 6 of probably 30 different pies and so far all 6 were fantastic will be going back when I'm craving a pie

Amazing spot! Professional, accommodating and the pies are to die for! If you need a cake or pie, hit this spot up.

Today in honor of Pi Day (March 14th) it was most appropriate to eat pie!! Since Pi represents the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant, I think it would be most appropriate to make pie from MeLisa The Pie Lady a constant in your life!! They sell mini pies (perfect for sharing) as well as full size pies. You should preorder at least one day in advance, but you can always stop in and choose a delicious dessert from what they have on hand. Not to mention cakes!!! Yummy!! read more

Pies were great. I got 5 minis so I got a bundle discount and discounts for signing up to their loyalty program. Plus 3.14 off today for Pi Day. Here are the pies I tried and my order of preference: 1. Key lime pie - haven't had one this good since I was in Miami 2. Peanut butter fudge - just as good as #1, but I had to choose. 3. Pecan - always a favorite...not too many pecans which is how I like it 4. Turtle Crunch - very good, just not as good as I was expecting 5. Apple - it was good, but I loved my mom's homemade pie, and this one was different. My mom passed away in October so this wasn't a fair fight to go up against hers. I will definitely be back again!! Excellent. read more

Got the key lime and cherry pies. Delicious! The cherry was slightly tart which I loved. Want to try more pies next time I'm in the area.

MeLisa is the sweetest baker in town. She came out of the kitchen to greet us when she heard us come in. She talked a bit about her pies and even mentioned the $3 off five pies deal. At the end, she gave all my little ones hugs. Millionaire - not as sweet as it looks so it was tasty for my palate Key Lime - if you like it on the more sour end, this is the spot to grab a Key Lime Pie! Tart, decadent, and refreshing. Coconut - texture was smooth with toasted coconut flakes on top. Perfectly baked. Cookies and Cream - hands down the best pie out of the bunch. I don't think you can make a bad Oreos pie but, man o' man, can MeLisa bake an extraordinary Oreos pie. Apple - looooooove the crust. Bits of tender apples, ooey, gooey, gelatinous goodness, and raw sugar on the crust. Perfect with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top. read more

I'm more of a cake person. Actually, I don't eat a lot of sweets to begin with so I don't know why I just said that. Everything is always too sweet for me but every once in a while my brain forgets this and I'll crave sugar. I chose MeLisa's place on this particular day for my sugar binge. I walked in and had the plan to try three different pies. Of course, the nice employee talked me into getting a 4th. The pie peer pressure is real. I ended up getting the following: 1. Banana Cream- Perfect. I've never had fresh banana's in a pie before. It's always been a banana flavored pudding but this was so light and refreshing. The bar has been set. 2. Key Lime- Also perfect because I loooove tart and sour anything. 3. Millionaire- It was interesting, not my favorite. Cherry and nutty and while it was light, it wasn't my favorite. 4. Peanut butter and chocolate- First bite was delicious but of course it was way too sweet for me. It was like a Reese's Pieces on steroids. I couldn't eat the whole thing and gave it to my garbage disposal, AKA boyfriend, who gladly ate it and enjoyed it. Pro tip: In the event you do have leftovers I was told that all of the pies with the exception of the banana cream can be placed in the freezer. But sadly Lily F. didn't have leftovers. read more

The vibe was top tier and I got the pecan pie for a potluck and everyone loved it! The best pecan pie we have had in a while

I have been on the hunt for a great pie place that makes blueberry pie and finally found MeLisa's! I proceeded to check out the menu and was able to order ahead online. There are shockingly a lot of great pie places in DFW, but hardly any of them will do a custom order for a blueberry pie. I have no idea why, but I have called/emailed to inquire, and no one has been able to offer it. So, to my surprise, it was actually listed as a pie to order ahead on MeLisa's website. I was so excited!!!! Father's day dessert will be on point!! The service was great, the pie was still warm when I went in to pick it up, it looks gorgeous and smells delicious! The selection of pies in the show case looked so yummy that I can't wait to go back and pick up others for special occasions. read more

The key lime pie was pretty good, it had the right amount of tartness. The bourbon pecan pie had a weird flavor to it. I took one bite and threw it out. Coconut creme was really good. Really good coconut flavor. Oreo was alright, not much Oreo flavor, more creme tasting. read more

Melissa's pies are amazing! After moving to The Colony a couple years back I was always intrigued by this cute little store front when I drove by on my errands. We decided to grab a pie for a family gathering and it didn't disappoint. We tried a Key Lime pie, which was so fresh and the perfect amount of sweet and tart. I love how great her graham cracker crust is on her pie. Even the non key lime fans in the group tried and loved this pie. I love how passionate she is about her business and what she does. Decor is a whimsical pink and green. They also make mini pies which are a great way to try out new flavors at a lower cost. For valentines we tried a mini cookies and cream and millionaire pie. The millionaire pie is so interesting, like nothing I've ever tasted in the best way!! It was delicious! read more

I wish I took a picture of the pies, but they did not last long enough to snap a pic haha. We ordered the turtle, bourbon pecan, and coconut. All of these were soooo good. I love to freeze the turtle crunch one because it stays smooth--not like ice cream. The coconut & bourbon pecan are best refrigerated. Coconut one is soooo good. Bourbon pecan is crunchy and a different texture than the other 2. I love this place. It's beautiful and clean inside. Also the staff is always so kind, and offers you to taste the flavor before you buy. We are moving about 4 mins away from there in the summer, so they have a forever customer in my family! read more

Tried a couple of their mini pies and the chocolate cream was by far my fav. My husband loved the pecan. The cashier was very outgoing and friendly. read more

Much to my delight, I came home to find this beautiful pie in our fridge. It was a gift from a lovely friend in appreciation for a favor done by my husband. I've wanted to try a MeLisa pie so this was a great gift! The flavors are perfectly on-trend for a 'sophisticated' sweetness: subtle, flavorful, a perfect treat that adds to the sweetness of life. The filling had a lovely chocolate flavor without being cloying. The cream was light and airy with just the right touch of sweetness. This pie had a tasty graham crust but with all of MeLisa's obvious talent, I can't wait to taste her pie crusts. People swear by mine but I bet her recipe is even better. I love bakers, but with her story, MeLisa's Pies are a cut above! read more

Life is better after pie ;-) Whenever in the North Dallas / Frisco / Plano area, MeLisa The Pie Lady is SO VERY worth the visit. Full size and mini pies are for sale (minis are only $5 each). You can eat there on the cute high top counter or several tables inside, take home, or both! Service is fabulous - def ask for recommendations & explanations about the pies bc ~20 different pies were for sale when we visited. We tried Key Lime, Coconut Creme, Chocolate Creme, & Chocolate Bourbon Pecan (my fav - not too sweet, just right amount of chocolate, & tons of pecans). Plenty of parking. Located just North of intersection of Main St & The 121 Tollway. Go get you some PIE!!!! read more

I guess I went in there with high expectations reading a lot of people's post saying how good it is. I'm guessing these people have never tried a good pie from a good baker here. I was thinking it was going to be delicious. I tasted the crust first. It was pretty much like eating cardboard no flavor the pie itself I believe was a chocolate bourbon pecan could not taste no bourbon and it tasted exactly like a Hershey's candy bar. If I wanna eat Hershey's, I will go down the road to Dollar tree and buy me one for $1.25 instead of spending all that money on that piece of shit that I I took two bites and threw it away never in my life have I tasted disappointment as much as that. You may have won some awards, but I don't know what for maybe you used to cook good but that was pure crap. I would not recommend anyone getting anything from here. You can go to H-E-B and get a better pie or pastry than this place but this place needs a lot of improvement read more

Lovely little slice of heaven! Amazing selection. Fully stocked when I went in. Sweet Nadine was an incredible help. She was very descriptive of each pie and man oh man, they all looked so beautiful and ready to enjoy. These were perfect for my small gathering because we could all socially distance, enjoy our delicious pies and not worry about having to share- lol. You definitely won't want to or have to after getting your hands on these delicacies! Super flavorful and fresh!!! It was such a pleasure going in and I can't tie you how sweet Nadine was! Teachers get a 20% discount with ID badge and also big 5 pies and get $3 off. Literally a great deal and steal! Go in and see them!!!! Treat yourself! Thank you for making my day! Great flavors, pecan-strawberry-chess-coconut-peanut butter fudge-Oreo-apple-buttermilk- key lime and so many more- read more
