What began as one man’s pursuit of the perfect apple pie has grown into Ma Pies, where buttery crusts and clever fillings win loyal fans across Calgary.
No matter how you slice it, pie is always good for the soul.
Ma Pies
An engineer by training, Corey Ma started Ma Pies after developing a craving for dream-worthy apple pie. His first attempt wasn’t good, he says, but his following attempts got better and better — and his fans began to seek him out at markets around town. His pocket pies are cute, flaky and just the right size — not too big, not too small — and his large savoury pies are brilliant for dinner on a hectic night. In our house, our favourites are the chicken mornay and the leek and mushroom, but they’re all worth seeking out. The Jamaican patties returned this summer too, Ma says. “They’re spicy and they’re always a hit.”
Find them at Calgary Farmers’ Market West and various other locations around town, or order online.
