HoneyPie, the pie-centric diner that has been at 2643 S. Kinnickinnic Ave. since 2009, is in its last days at its old location.

The restaurant will be open for curbside pickup 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Sunday, and its continuing to take orders at honeypiecafe.com/store for whole Thanksgiving pies through Monday, and by phone at (414) 489-7437 until the last minute. (Holiday pie pickup on Nov. 25 is at sister establishments SmallPie, 2504 E. Oklahoma Ave., and Palomino, 2491 S. Superior St.)

HoneyPie will be closed for some weeks as it packs and moves just a couple blocks away, to 2569 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., the former Alchemist Theatre building.

We didnt want to move from Bay View, HoneyPie owner Valeri Lucks said. The new site is appealing because it will have the comforts of new construction and the charm of an old building, she said.

The new HoneyPie will have a few more tables for customers once dining-in resumes (the cafe is strictly takeout now because of the pandemic and will remain that way for a while). And the patio will be bigger.

But whats key is that the new site has more of what Lucks calls functional space more room for waiting customers,a kitchen thats twice as big, and more space for customers to pick up pies and to see them displayed front and center, rather than at the back of the restaurant as they had been.
