Charles Patrick Scally

GORHAM – Charles Patrick Scally “Pat”, aka “The Pie Guy”, 55, son of the late James Robert Scally and Susie (Harmon) Scally, quietly and peacefully returned to his Heavenly Father July 8, 2026.

Pat was born in Alamogordo, N.M. during the years his father, enlisted in the Navy, was stationed at the White Sands Naval Station. Shortly after his birth, the family returned to Downeast Maine, renewing familial relationships with his mother’s side of the family.

Pat was raised in Addison until the age of 9, when the family relocated to the Portland area. That is where Pat grew, raced around pulling shenanigans, made a name for himself outrunning the police, a trick he mastered over the years with ingenuity and imagination, whether on two wheels, a wheelie, or four wheels. It is also where he made many of the friendships that were steadfast until his death.

At the time of his death, Pat was the owner/operator of Pizzaiolo, a New York style pizzeria he opened on Cumberland Avenue in 2016. It grew fast and not only was very successful, due to his incredible ability to understand operations and numbers, but was truly Pat’s way of creating “community” around him. He loved to interact with patrons, making new friends daily. Pat’s love for life and his lack of judgment on others are what drew the crowds as he often shared a slice with those who had no money to pay or offered work to those who could not be hired elsewhere.

Leading to Pat’s success at Pizzaiolo was a long and varied history at pizza chains across the country, along with his own start-ups. From Papa Gino’s in Revere, Mass., to Bronx Pizza in San Diego, Calif., to Otto Pizza in Portland and Boston, upon his return to Maine, Pat became known well as “The Pie Guy.” He could spin them like no one’s business, and people came from far and wide for his personally crafted Pizzaiolo pizza.

Words don’t come easily in describing the man known as “The Pie Guy.” His personality was so large and his reach so far, summing him up is impossible. He was a son, brother, father, uncle, cousin, nephew, mentor, but most of all he was a friend—even to his family. His friendship never wavered. He was solid and loyal to those who were true to him. One never had to wonder about their status—if he loved you, it was wholly and without boundaries. Friendships didn’t get old for him; they didn’t fade away over time. Most of his friendships lasted forever as he continued to love even those friends who passed on before him. His circle of friends was incredibly varied, from those down on their luck to some of the greats in the boxing world—he always saw friends through the same lens—one of love.

Faith is what we lean on in troubled times and when we have unanswered questions in life, and Pat had strong faith, even if he experienced it in an unconventional way. In the end, he was ready to meet his Heavenly Father. More than once he had expressed his gratitude for having been given the life he enjoyed for 55 years, a life of varied experiences, many friends, travel, activities, both adrenalin-inducing and family-building. He was content with his accomplishments and experiences.

Pat is survived by his eldest son, Andrew Wiggin (Katrina) and their daughter, Emma, all of Wells; son, Michael Scally and daughter, Madeline Ingersoll of Peoria, Ill.; and daughter, Nicoletta Scally of Florida; his loving mother, always his advocate, Susie Scally; siblings, Dorothy (Jatin) Karvir of Upton, Mass., Jimmy (Brenda) Scally of Saco, Cindy (George) Weiland of Bangor; nephews James Dhesi, Michael, Matthew, Andrew and Aaron Scally, and Joseph Kelley. In addition to Pat’s family, he leaves an army of friends in and out of the biking, boxing, pizza and sledding communities who cannot all be named; you know who you are.

Pat’s girlfriend, Jennifer Dwelley, with whom he shared many interests such as motorcycles and snowsleds, will fondly remember him; know that Pat appreciated your company and was very grateful for your presence and all you did for him. Michelle Hines, lifelong friend, unofficial Pizzaiolo “partner,” and soulmate, will sadly miss their friendship.

Pat had many children who greatly impacted his life with their presence. And for his part, “Uncle Pat” loved to teach them dirtbiking, pizza making, life skills, and he was the master at teaching parallel parking to all new drivers. His face lit up around children, probably because he was forever young. He was a mentor, teacher, friend, uncle, or sometimes all of those rolled into one. Alexis Walker, Hailee Walker, Michael Maxfield, Tyler Arnett, Kaleb Cidre, Richard Greenwood, just to name a few, remember him and how much he loved you. Remember how very important you were to his happiness. If you were one of “his kids” and you didn’t get named here, forgive his family for not knowing your name; you were no less important to him.

Visiting hours will be held 4 to 7 p.m., Friday, July 24, at GracePoint Church, 329 South St., Biddeford, ME 04005.

A Celebration of Life is planned for 2 p.m., Saturday, July 25, at 15 Marc Lane, Windham.
