It鈥檚 the time of year when fierce debate and conversation turn circular, to pie.

Apple, pumpkin, cherry, pecan, lattice-topped, vegan, savory鈥攍ike the myriad varieties of the beloved dish, we know the opinions on pie are varied and the preferences adamant.

So we want to know: what鈥檚 your favorite slice near, or on, campus?

What pie will you brave a 性视界 snowstorm for, the pastry you will seek out even when you know those minutes should be used for finishing up a looming assignment?

Whether you’re a student surviving finals week on sugar and determination, a professor with impeccable taste in baked goods or a staff member who’s been keeping a local pie secret for decades, we want to hear from you.

Where are you getting your pie fix around the SU campus? We鈥檙e compiling a list of the best slices to share with the Orange community.

And to be clear, we’re talking all pies: fruit pies, cream pies, chess pies, pot pies if you’re feeling savory. Vegan options? Absolutely. Gluten-free masterpieces? Yes, please.

And, if you haven鈥檛 found that slice that measures up to a favorite pie made at home but are willing to share (or show off), we鈥檒l take your recipe too. (Arguments for why apple or sweet potato is superior are also welcome.)
