300th Review!!! This deserves a special touch. *clears throat*
Get a load of Pie Commission's meat pies,
They're really a treat, guys;
Trust my word!
Meat pies, veg pies, savory and sweet pies,
Ordering with my eyes,
"Four to go."
Over here, man! Where's the sauce?
Let's get another one, yeah?
Damn, that was some right quick service.
Couldn't ask for better service.
What about seconds, please?
Ladies and gentlemen--
Let's
Eat!
And if you sang that in the tune of Sweeney Todd's "God, That's Good," you'd be a pretty cool person in my book. Go back and try it. Seriously. It's pretty catchy.
Okay, maybe I got carried away, but I happen to like the pies here. Pretty jazzed as I've tried two other pie places in the last two weeks and Pie Commission is the only one I've not only been back to twice, but have been thinking about returning to again. I've sampled four kinds of savory pies and two kinds of sweet pies so far. The crusts are brilliant, flaky, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The fillings are always at least good, if not awesome (looking at you, beef rib).
The reason this isn't 5 stars? To be perfectly frank, it's the sweet pies. While the berry pie I tried was filled to the brim with blueberries and looked picture perfect, it desperately needed sugar. But the maple pecan pie I got was overly sweet and almost inedible. That was a pretty disappointing ending to my meal. The second time I came I skipped the sweet pies entirely; I was told that they switch up the sweet pies frequently, so perhaps I'll take my chances on dessert next time. And there will be a next time.
