Missoula’s Popular Places For The Best Of This Comfort Food

There was recently a conversation around the offices about some of the businesses in Missoula that are no longer with us that we wish we could bring back. Sometimes it is a good thing to take a trip down "memory lane" and remember some of the places that we used to frequent while living in Western Montana.

We Noticed A Few Restaurants That Missoula May Need

There were a few things we noticed when talking about past restaurants in Missoula. We noticed that, besides sushi, we don't have a seafood focused restaurant. We also noticed that there used to be a lot more restaurants that offered a big selection of pies.

Missoula Pie Restaurants of the Past

We aren't talking about pizza pie, we are talking about dessert pies. There is a long list of restaurants that have come and gone that used to have big selections of pies.

• Montana Pie Company
• Perkins
• Pioneer Pies
• Don's Family Restaurant
• Finnegan's
• Trenary's Irish Pub

That doesn't mean that we don't still have some great places for a piece of pie in Missoula. We asked our listeners to help us out finding the best place in Missoula for a piece of pie.

Fall and Winter in Montana Is A Great Time For Pie

For me the fall and winter in Montana is baking season, and sometimes a person just needs to have the comfort of a good piece of pie.
