Teddywedgers

Teddywedgers serves hand pies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in Madison, Wisconsin, with takeaway and delivery services available. The shop has been a part of the community since 1976, when Myles Allen first opened it on Johnson Street.

The pasty menu features options like the Southwest Pasty and the Classic Breakfast Pasty for breakfast, as well as The Traditional and The Big Cheesy for lunch and dinner. Desserts made in-house by the pastry chef include chocolate chip cookies and molasses cookies.

Myles Allen learned to make pasties at his father's restaurant before deciding to open his own shop. The name 'Teddywedgers' comes from the phrases 'Teddy Boys' and 'Tater Wedges', which miners used to refer to the pasties they ate for lunch.

Two siblings, who grew up in Madison and have fond memories of eating Teddywedgers at the Farmer's Market and Concerts on The Square, now run the shop. They took over after longtime employee Raymond Johnson put it up for sale and have worked to keep the Madison icon going.

The shop is currently at 101 State Street in Madison, Wisconsin, and can be contacted by phone or email, still serving the community after all these years.
