The Pie Shop, Buckhead

If you love pie (as all the best people do) The Pie Shop is not a place to be missed. Although fair warning if you do not know Buckhead well it might be hard to find as it is in the back off a building and the driveway is not so obvious. However, once you do find it and enter the ever so quaint location you will know the scavenger hunt was well worth it. All pies and crusts are baked fresh every day and if you choose a pie with whipped cream they make it fresh for you. Their menu includes sweet & savory pies and have a pie happy hour (January – October 6:30-8) which is BYOB, it might possibly be the happiest of happy hours. Additionally their menu changes every two months to harmonize with the seasons. I’ve tried Rhubarb in the spring, Peach in the summer, and Chocolate Ganache not so long ago.  The ganache pie is probably what they are most known for and if you want an hour of chocolate indulgence this is the pie to order. It’s very rich but super satisfying. The two other pies that I’ve had were also excellent because this shops knows that fillings don’t have to be complicated– a single fruit can be all that you need since it won’t get lost with anything else. This could be because I’m a pie purist at heart but so be it. Next I suspect I’ll opt for a savory pie, since winter is coming up they will be hard to resist.
