For Americans, pie is comforting. Another report from the American Pie Council found that nearly 50 percent of Americans think of that specific word when they think of pie, and some 20 percent of them have eaten an entire pie by themselves.
The popularity of pie is without question, so it makes sense that locations catering specifically to pie enthusiasts would be popular as well.
