About
Nostalgia Pie
Could it Be That it Was All So Simple Then?
Nostalgia Pie is our cozy retro haven where we celebrate the moments, the memories, the milestones and cultural touchstones that have shaped our lives and continue to bring us joy.
Here, we serve up generously-sized nostalgic slices of
the past; topped with lashings of vintage charm;
sprinkled with lots of quirky humour, and complete with
a dash of retro whimsy, and all of the special qualities
that made the iconic decades of the 1960s-1990s
(which we affectionately refer to as the Nostalgia Pie
years)so unforgettable.
At Nostalgia Pie, we are dedicated to creating a fun
and welcoming community where nostalgia enthusiasts
can gather to celebrate the past and find joy in the memories that make life special. Through engaging articles, personal anecdotes, and community discussions, we aim to create a space where everyone can relive the magic of their favorite memories.
Our Story
Nostalgia Pie was born out of a love of reminiscing and a desire to share those cherished memories with others. Whether it's the music that defined a generation; the toys, books and games that sparked our imaginations, or the TV shows and movies that captivated our hearts (and concentration!) we believe that every warm slice of the past has a story worth telling, and we hope that every post feels like a cosy hug from yesterday.
Our journey began with a simple idea… and believe it or not - countless slices of pie! The idea was to create a space where people could come together in order to relive the magic of their childhood; teen years and early adulthood. Between platefuls of pie, there were gasps of "I remember that!" and sighs of "Those were the days," as well as animated conversations about the music, movies, and magazines that defined our younger years. These memories weren't just fun to talk about - they were a source of comfort, laughter, and connection, and they brought us back to simpler, less stressful times. Whether it's the iconic fashion of the sixties; the hilarious sitcoms of the seventies; the pop hits of the 80s, or the unforgettable TV moments of the 90s, we wanted to celebrate EVERYTHING!!!
The site’s founder, Angel Noire is a retro and nostalgia enthusiast, who wanted to create a space where everyone could experience that same warmth, connection and camaraderie. So she came up with Nostalgia Pie!
Our Mission
We're more than just a blog. At Nostalgia Pie, our
mission is to create a vibrant, supportive community
where people can find joy, comfort, and connection
through the shared love of nostalgia. We live in a
world that can sometimes (but thankfully not always)
be confusing; overwhelming and disheartening. During
such gloomy times, it's important to grab joy and
tranquility wherever we can... and if it just so
happens to be in the form of nostalgia - then what's
so bad about that!!!

book to read and discuss. It’s a wonderful
opportunity to connect with others through the
shared love of retro reads.
