| - Pie day!! I came by with a few friends to join in on the fun, and the $3.14 pie deal! This shop is located in the path connecting Hudson Bay and Bay-Adelaide Centre. The store itself is just a counter with tonnes of pies on display but there are some tables set up in the hallway outside.
Now to the review of the pies themselves. The pie crust is formed into a square, and sits nicely in the box. It's a nice idea but when you get to the bottom half of the pie, the box design makes it hard to eat on the go. A spoon would be recommended if you don't want to savagely pick up the pie filling from the bottom of the box with your fingers. Other than the square shape, there really isn't anything distinctive about the crust. It's quite thin and just there to hold the filling temporary. It's soft, not very buttery, and not very flaky.
Out of the savory pies, I got the pulled pork, and chicken pot pie. Pulled pork one was the better of the two. There were very large pieces of tender pork that was cooked perfectly. Flavor wise, instead of the typical BBQ sauce, it tasted more like a ketchup based sauce with strong onion flavor. The chicken pot pie did not have as much filling and was not as memorable. Skip the chocolate banana pie. My friend got it and it was a solid chunk of filling, despite being a pretty warm pie, and not very aromatic. Overall, there are better options for pies but if you're walking by and want a quick bit, this won't be a bad option. I liked it considering I basically only paid half price for them.
Because it was special promotion day, there were some line-ups but the wait wasn't too bad when I dropped by at 6pm. They were out a few of the options but they restocked pretty quickly.
