  • While the bakery normally doesn't take requests, they bent their rule to experiment with a peanut butter pie. The results were so successful, it may soon join the lineup.
  • Mr. Dye's Pies recently added the Blueberry Hill to its offerings.

“Neighborhood Lens” is an NNS feature that provides a visual-driven platform for local photographers to tell the stories of people and groups in our neighborhoods Let us know who you would like to see featured next in the comments or by emailing us at info@milwaukeenns.org.

On Tower Avenue in Granville, amid massive industrial buildings that produce metal and medical goods, there’s a somewhat unexpected product being made — homemade pies.

Although Mr. Dye’s Pies is a mainstay at many markets around town, it’s been harder to find since the business moved from its North Avenue location in 2017.

The current home, a commercial kitchen at 8103 W. Tower Ave., has allowed the owners to scale up their operation while staying true to the recipes and family spirit that originally helped the business to grow.

In this photo gallery, Johnathan Dye gives a behind-the-scenes look at how the bakery makes its pies.
