The Oliver family of Wheeling, West Virginia didn’t set out to open a pie shop. They sort of stumbled into it by accident trying to raise money for unique family opportunity.

But those original, home baked fund-raising pies, sold to friends, family, and neighbors, were so good that requests kept pouring in for more. And more.

Eventually, the Olivers’ home kitchen couldn’t keep up with the demand, and Oliver’s Pies, a small shop in Wheeling’s Centre Market, was born.
