Update---Fasano Pie Order Deadline Extended to 2 PM Monday, January 30th!

If you enjoyed the Fasano Pies you purchased last month at St. Joe's---or if you missed it---you'll be pleased to know that the Fasano Pie truck will return to our school very soon.

The Fasano Pie Company will deliver absolutely delicious dutch apple, cherry and blueberry pies to St. Joseph School---ready for pick up from 8:30 to 9:30 AM Sunday, February 5th. Pick up will be held in the Senior Center, which is located on the northwest corner of the school, 5641 South 73rd Avenue, Summit. (Just 60 seconds south of I-55, Harlem exit---and just one block west of the Portillo's at 56th and Harlem.)

Pies by Fasano ("As Good As Mother's and Better Than Others") is as familiar a Chicago name as Riverview or Bozo's Circus. Many thousands of Chicago-area moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas remember these mouth-watering pies fresh and warm from the Fasano bakery and outlet store on 65th Street---as well as from grocery stores and restaurants across the Chicago area. Many people still have the memorable Fasano pie tins as collectibles.

Company CEO Peter Fasano (son of the legendary Joseph "Joe Pies" Fasano) has pledged that a portion of all sales will be donated to St. Joseph School, which has provided a Catholic elementary education to boys and girls in Garfield Ridge, Summit and other communities for nearly a century.

"I'm a product of Catholic schools myself, and I know that schools and churches can always use a good fundraiser," Fasano says.

"We are pleased to welcome the Fasano Pie Company back to our school," adds Tim Hadac, St. Joseph School Director of Development and Alumni Relations. "Our last Fasano Pie sale went well and was a lot of fun for everyone, especially those who shared their Fasano memories at the pie pick-up."

The freshly-baked dutch apple, cherry and blueberry pies, bursting with flavor, are quite possibly the most delicious pies you will ever taste.

All pies must be purchased in advance. Deadline to purchase pies is 2:00 PM Friday, January 27. Deadline extended to 2:00 PM Monday, January 30th. So order yours today! Use the order form in this blog post or simply stop by the St. Joseph School Office weekdays between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

Fasano pies make great gifts for family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, business clients, teachers, coaches, the mailman----anyone you'd like to surprise and delight with a unique "thank you" gift.

They also make a great surprise treat for Super Bowl parties on February 5th...
