Carter & Rye – Sweet & Savory Hand Pies – A woman-owned and operated Omaha-based bakery specializing in hand pies with a signature affirmation: you're the hot one.

What's a Hand Pie?

Just like the name says! It’s a pie that fits in the palm of your hand.

PLAYFUL

Our buttery, flaky dough is wrapped around oozey, gooey goodness, featuring flavors that range from sausage & kimchi to brown sugar cinnamon.

NOSTALGIC

Reminiscent of Cornwall’s pasty, the empanadas of Latin America and fried pies of the American South. These simple recipes and age-old techniques create a pastry that feels like home and a language that connects us all.

CLEAN HANDS, WARM HEART

ABOUT

The Hot One

Carter & Rye began in 2019 at the Omaha Farmers Market with a table full of hand pies and a hope that people might show up hungry. They did—and they keep showing up. In 2021, we opened our brick-and-mortar shop on Center Street in Hanscom Park where we now bake and serve pies Friday through Sunday. Though the storefront is our current home, the farmers market will always be our roots. We return every season to stay grounded in the place that gave us our start and the community that believed in us from day one.

Behind the scenes, Carter & Rye is a seven-day-a-week operation. We’re always rolling dough, filling pies, baking, and prepping for the next weekend. Each pie is made individually, by hand, from scratch. We use fresh, local ingredients whenever possible, and we hold ourselves to standards that don’t exactly scale—which is fine by us. We’re not here to grow fast; we’re here to grow with care. It’s a true labor of love powered by a small team who pours their hearts into the experience. We believe good food should feel good to eat. We’re honored to feed you, and we’re endlessly grateful that you show up for it.
