The Southern tomato pie is a tomato dish from the Southern United States. It consists of a pie shell with a filling of tomatoes (sometimes with basil or other herbs), covered with a topping of grated cheese mixed with either mayonnaise or a white sauce.^[1]^[2] It is considered a summer dish, to be made when tomatoes are in season.^[3]

A sweet version called green tomato pie uses buttered and sugared green tomatoes, with a recipe dating at least as far back as 1877.^[4] The taste has been compared to that of green apple pie.^[5]^[6] The sweet version is less common than the savory Southern tomato pie.^[7]
