OUR STORY

Proud Pie began with a lifelong love of baking. Founder Scott R. Chapman first discovered that passion as a child in Nashville, Tennessee, making pies in the kitchen at just eight years old. After training at the Culinary Institute of America and building a decades-long career in hospitality with brands including Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, DoubleTree and Hilton, Scott returned to the dessert that had always stayed close to his heart: pie.

In 2016, he opened Proud Pie in Katy, Texas, with a simple idea—to create a place where pie wasn’t an afterthought, but the star. Proud Pie quickly became a local favorite, known for handcrafted crusts, creative flavors, generous slices and pies that brought a little nostalgia to every table.

Favorites like State Fair Caramel Apple, Key Lime, Ghirardelli Chocolate Silk, Coconut Cream, Michigan Cherry, Wobbly Turtle and Big Texas Bourbon Pecan became part of birthdays, family dinners, holidays and everyday celebrations across Houston.

In 2024, Proud Pie began a new chapter through a partnership with Dish Society, allowing Scott’s recipes and the Proud Pie legacy to continue beyond the original Katy bakery. Today, Proud Pie is available through Dish Society locations across Houston and Austin, with slices and whole pies ready for everything from an everyday craving to Thanksgiving, Christmas and special celebrations.

The locations may have changed, but the idea behind Proud Pie remains the same: make great pie with care and give people something worth gathering around.
