TJones Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I'm going to need some pies later in the week. Does anyone have recommendations?If you like chocolate cream. Marie Callender's store bought pie is perfect, trust your Uncle Troy on this one, I have eaten enough of them to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
native_Houstonian Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Flying Saucer Pie Company on Crosstimbers, just East of Shepherd. Be prepared for a long line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Flying Saucer's hard to beat. I've been going there as long as I can remember, and they've been there for 40+ years. I think they do somewhere around 1/3 to 1/2 of their annual business between Thanksgiving and Christmas combined, so a long line is putting it mildly. They usually have off-duty police directing traffic around the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb320 Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 House of Pies????Goode Company for Pecan.I've heard of flying saucer before, but I'm not sure where Crosstimbers is and I don't do lines.I just looked it up. Goode Company pecan pie is $15.00 and they're $10.50 at House of Pies. I think I'll go to HOP because they have other varieties and it's first come, first served this week (no orders).

memebag Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Ditto the baklava from Phoenicia. Flying Saucer pies are always soupy when I get them. I love House of Pies for all the chocolate cream varieties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fringe Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Can't beat Goode Company's pecan pie. House of Guys for everything else. Never been to flying Saucer. Will have to try.I do miss the Marie Callender restaurants. Their pies were the best part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thStDad Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 What about best fruit pies? I don't do chocolate or cream or meringue or pecan. I have had strawberry pie at HOP, it was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that order, thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverJK Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I hear good things about the pies at Decapos. I've had a few of their deserts which were really tasty. I might have to try their Dutch apple pie. They are in the heights Studewood @ 11th street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucesw Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Don't know if they still carry them but Sam's carried the Plush Pippin Apple pies from the Northwest, frozen, ready-to-bake. They were excellent. They stopped for a while then carried them already baked (not as good - crust gets soggy, better fresh baked), then had the frozen ones again. I let my membership lapse and haven't been in over a year.CM does some good pies, I had a Bourbon Pecan pie from there last year for the holidays. Can't remember the price.

rsb320 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 I ended up going to House of Pies last night. I got Dutch apple, pecan and coconut cream. I'll report back after we dig in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 This topic has me seriously craving strawberry pie, and I find that I am stuck in Baton Rouge where the internet knows no place that has it. Strawberry cream pie at one place, but that's not what I need. I mean the stuff loaded with syrupy strawberries topped with real whipped cream. I might be hitting the frozen section at ye local grocery shoppe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A $5 Edwards KLP from the grocery store is WAY better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb320 Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 I believe it was topped with whipped cream. It's classified as a cream pie. It's not too sweet and not too rich - delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
