It was wet and grey As I Drove to visit my mother on the Saturday I first discovered ‘s Penza’s Pies And the red barn Café for myself. I’m a South Jersey native and I’m Both shocked And delighted when I Discover a new gem Such as Penza’s hiding in my own backyard. It was the end of the day, But there is still a beautiful Selection of pies, Sauces and other wonderful, homemade treats to choose from. The owner was truly delightful to speak with I decided to bring my mother some of their homemade meatballs and red sauce, and learned how to serve them The best way; Smashed on the grill or griddle and covered in red sauce and a nice dusting of Italian cheeses.
I’ll be looking forward to taking visiting friends here in the future and I’m eagerly awaiting the opportunity to smash my balls for a nice dinner with my mother.

I finally found this place again after I randomly stopped once 2 years ago to buy pie for a friend who said it was the best they've ever had. Evelyn is so, so sweet and the 5 fruit pie was even sweeter. The fruit flavor is sweet but not sugary and the buttery crust is so tasty. Can't wait to go back again!

Tucked away on Rt 206.
Selections of Pot Pies, Fresh Eggs when available, and home to one of the best blueberry pies you've ever eaten. Hints of cinnamon adorn a rich array of blueberries and a flakey crust that doesn't detract from the filling. You will go for one serving, and then another, it's that good. If you are able to withstand the beauty of the pie, I highly recommend it chilled in the fridge. One of the best pies I've ever eaten.
I'd call it a hidden gem, but it's been featured on the New York Times in an article from 2002, highly worth the read. The pictures show a store that is as perfect now as it was then.
It's a perfect compliment to the drive.

Apple Cherry Pie
Sensational apple pie (definitely gift-worthy); as an afterthought I picked up a blueberry muffin and it was incredible. For baked treats, in my book there is no other place!
