Our Story

. . . is still being written!

Mark helps by tasting, fetching, stirring, and marketing the goods. He is still an apprentice in the kitchen. On his best days, he carries the label sous-chef.

Vicki Ziese is the mind and hands of Mama Z’s Pies. She learned the craft of the kitchen from her Grandmother who baked, farmed, and raised a family on the plains of Illinois.


Our place

. . . is located in Bellevue, Kentucky.

Mama Z’s whole pies are prepared upon request and available for sale at Nomad KY. Nomad is located on “the Avenue” in Bellevue, Kentucky and is a fine place to hang out, enjoy music, eat pie, and many other delicious goodies.
