Hubig’s pies sold for $1.19 a decade ago. How much will they cost now?
Part of the allure of the iconic Hubig’s pies from New Orleans was the price – in 2012, the delicious handheld pastries only cost $1.19.
NOLA wasn’t the only place where the desserts were popular, either. Back then, dozens of Coast stores – from supermarkets to gas stations to hardware stores – carried the tasty treats in a variety of flavors.
The pies disappeared in 2012 after a fire destroyed the Hubig’s building where they were made. But there’s a new headquarters in Crescent City, and apple and lemon pies were on sale over the weekend in New Orleans for the first time in a decade.
Owners Kathleen and Drew Ramsey sold Hubig’s pies to people walking the nearby Oak Street Po-Boy Festival and told Nola.com they expect to be around the entire city of New Orleans soon.
But how much will they cost now?
The pies will likely retail for $2.49, the Ramseys told Nola.com food writer Ian McNulty. The new price reflects the increase in food and production costs.
It’s not yet clear if or when Hubig’s pies will return to the Mississippi Coast, but the Ramseys say a website will launch as early as Monday that offers online ordering and shipping.
