If you've had the pleasure of savoring a slice of pie at JudyPie in Grapevine, then you know they consider baking an art form. Since 2016, Judy Balunda has been serving her community hearty slices and whole pies in more than 16 flavors.
After being nominated as one of USA Today's 10 Best Pie Shops In The Nation, the community she’s served returned the favor with enough votes to secure the No. 5 spot on their recent list.
Through community events like her popular Bingo Nights, Judy believes that baking pies brings people together. On select Mondays starting at 6:30 p.m., the family-favorite shop offers customers a choice of either chicken pot pie or shepherd’s pie, salad, rolls and a slice of sweet dessert with their bingo card.
A retired special education teacher, Judy continues to share her gifts with the community. Instead of teaching, she bakes her mom's treasured family recipes, from Punky Pumpkin and Apple Crumb to her favorite — Rhoda's Pecan Pie. But if you ask her customers, they prefer her Key Lime pies the most.
