About Your Pie
The concept of Your Pie began in May 2006 when founder Drew French was inspired to cook pizzas in brick ovens while on his honeymoon. Visiting his wife’s family on the island of Ischia, Drew fell in love with the brick oven style of baking pizza, and the vision of Your Pie was born. Drew moved back to his Athens hometown in 2008 to make his dream a reality, and we’ve been making quality pizzas ever since. The recipes for our handcrafted pies come straight from the island of Ischia, the birthplace of pizza, and are infused with old-school Italian flavors while still reflecting distinctly American tastes and preferences. Our stores serve freshly hand-cut meats and vegetables, house made sauces, and the best cheeses available, all prepared in our authentic brick oven, and it is this commitment to quality that sets Your Pie apart from the competition. We’re always looking to expand our family.
