“Best Pie: The Upper Crust Pie Bakery There’s a reason we featured the Stars and Stripes pie from sisters Elaine VanBuskirk and Jan Knobel in our Fourth of July feast spread: They make the best pies in Kansas City! This quaint neighborhood bakery in downtown OP serves up nostalgia by the slice — peach, gooseberry, strawberry-rhubarb — with a glass bottle of milk or a la mode. The Upper Crust also has cookies and a savory quiche on offer.” 435 South Magazine, August, 2015

 

“Many of The Upper Crust’s pies are made from family recipes.” Feast Magazine Online, July 31, 2015

 

We realized pie was a lost art the way our mother and grandmother did it. We thought there was a real void in Kansas City for good pie, so that’s where it started,” Knobel said. News-Leader Online, July 30, 2015
