In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough starts to come together. Do not overmix.
Divide the dough into two equal parts, shape each into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
In another bowl, mix the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Add the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, gently tossing to coat the fruit evenly.
Roll one disc of the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate, gently pressing it over the bottom and up the sides.
Pour the berry mixture into the crust-lined pie dish, spreading it evenly.
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the berry filling. Trim excess dough, then crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with milk and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
