We originally started in 2021 in Petal, Mississippi, in a food trailer. We saw that the old Petal Florist building was for sale and had most recently been a dog grooming business that was no longer in operation. We purchased the building and renovated it.
We sold gourmet hotdogs and handpies for a couple of years and had a lot of new and repeat customers. We sold the business and took a break for a year, then finally decided to open in Tupelo, Mississippi, selling handpies under the name “The Handpie Guy.”
The reason we picked that name was because whenever I was out in Hattiesburg or Petal, whether at a restaurant or shopping, someone who didn't know my name but may have been a customer would say, “Hey, it's the Handpie Guy!” or “What's up, Handpie Guy?” Sometimes I would get “Hotdog Guy” or “Hey, Weiner Man!” LOL.
Since I wasn't selling hotdogs anymore, I decided to call the business The Handpie Guy and focus only on fresh-baked handpies.
Since opening, we have come up with over 120 flavors and are always trying new ones.
We moved back to Petal/Hattiesburg in December 2025 and have been slowly introducing The Handpie Guy to new and old customers on the weekends.
We currently don't have our own building yet, but we're working on it. We now have a new food trailer that will be going out soon!
in the meantime we are taking preorders for friday and saturdays doing pickups and deliveries for frozen to bake at home or fresh baked.
so follow our to see our weekly menu and shoot me a message with an order if you wanna try us out!
We'll have our dozen specials, lunch specials, always-new flavors, and a rotating menu. We'll also be making our authentic Dutch stroopwafels and cheesy dough dogs (all-beef hotdogs with cheese baked into our buttery dough).
