Craving a nice slice of pie? Pennsylvania is home to two of the best pie shops in the nation, according to a recent report.
The USA Today’s Readers’ Choice Awards for “Best Pie Shop (2026),” published June 17, named Bingham’s Restaurant in Kingsley No. 2, while Nomadic Pies in Kennett Square snagged a fifth place finish.
USA Today described Bingham’s Restaurant as “the perfect pit stop” for pie, with flavors such as peach crumb, chocolate peanut butter and pecan.
Bingham’s Restaurant was established in 1984, and prides itself on made-from-scratch comfort food, freshly baked pies and small-town hospitality.
“Whether you’re stopping in for a quick breakfast on the road, gathering for dinner with family, or simply craving a slice of fresh pie, there’s always a seat waiting for you here,” the restaurant’s website reads.
Here’s a sample of the pie menu at Bingham’s Restaurant:
Caramel apple crumb pie: $23.95Chocolate cream pie: $19.95Country apply pie: $19.95Coconut cream pie: $19.95Chocolate peanut butter pie: $22.95Raspberry pie: $22.95
If you don’t want a full pie, you can also grab a slice of most flavors for $5.99.
In addition to its famed pies, Bingham’s Restaurant also offers full menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast options include French toast, Belgian waffles, eggs, omelets, hot cakes and more. For lunch or dinner, try a fresh salad, cheeseburger, homemade soup or sandwich platter.
Along with the recognition for its pies, Bingham’s Restaurant was also named the No. 1 best roadside diner in 2026 by USA Today readers.

Visiting Nomadic Pies
USA Today lauded Nomadic Pies for its sweet and savory options, from chicken pot pie to classic fruit pies.
Nomadic Pies owner Molly Johnston founded the business in 2012, selling pies from a food truck before opening the downtown store.
“We want to bring you back to your grandmother’s kitchen with the nostalgic smell of warm apple pie, while also leading you on a culinary adventure with flavor combinations you never imagined you’d find in pie form,” Nomadic Pies’ website reads.
Nomadic Pies serves walk-in customers, but staff recommend placing a pre-order as the pies often sell out.
Flavor options include blueberry crumb, peach berry, strawberry rhubarb, shepherd’s pie, red Thai curry and more. The menu is seasonally inspired and changes weekly.
Hours: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday
Location: 132 W. State St. in Kennett Square, Pa.
The Centre Daily Times has contacted staff with Bingham’s Restaurant and Nomadic Pies for comment about the recognition from USA Today.
