4. Maple Whiskey Walnut At Petee’s Pie

Cafe, Bakery, Dessert Shop, American

For some people, a smooth glass of whiskey, not pie, is their poison of choice. However, this may not hold true for long, as the Maple Whiskey Walnut at Petee’s Pie Co. takes a lot of Southern flavor and flare and turns it into one delicious freakin’ pie. Reviewers rave, describing a savory crust with a center that is almost like custard. Yes, most of the alcohol does gets baked off, but the whiskey flavor lasts, creating a well-rounded taste that complements the sweet, candied walnut topping. If you’re tired of the same old pies and want something with a little attitude, Petee has got you covered.

5. Bourbon Ginger Pecan At Butter and Scotch

Restaurant, Bakery, Dessert Shop, Bar, Cocktail Bar, American

Coming fully equipped with organic Texas pecans and top notch bourbon, this Bourbon Ginger Pecan Pie ain’t nothin’ to mess with. Butter and Scotch agrees that this special treat will have you raising your hands in praise; winning of 1st Annual Brooklyn Pie Bake-Off inspired the creation of the entire bakery, which has been leaving locals feeling satisfied (and tipsy!) for years.

So treat yourself with the flavors of zesty ginger, sweet maple, and pecan goodness; your salvation can come later with a skinny girl margarita.

6. Blackberry Apple Pie (With a Cheddar Crust) At The Blue Stove

Bakery, Ice Cream Parlour, American, Pastries

Another home-grown company that takes pride in using seasonal ingredients, this bakery has a rotational menu. It seems that The Blue Stove’s cheddar crusted Blackberry Apple Pie is a high scorer from the menu. With a bit of homey apple goodness, a slight tang from the beautifully rich and dark berries, and a can’t-beat savory, cheesy crust, you cannot go wrong by trying this fall & winter classic. Top it off with homemade whipped cream or local vanilla ice cream.

7. Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle With Chocolate Sea Salt Crust At Pie Corps

8. Mississippi Mud Pie at Little Pie Company

Food Stall, Bakery, Pastelaria, American

An all-star American pie from its ooey-gooey center to its glazed, cookie crust peaks, this rich Mississippi Mud Pie from the Little Pie Company has diners saluting the muddy river that shaped the western borders of many of the original 13 colonies.

If you need a little break from the cocoa chaos, ask for some added whipped cream or ice cream. Plain or accented, a slice of this pie will leave you feeling satisfied.

9. (Chocolate) Pecan Pie At Two Little Red Hens

Bakery, Cafe, Pastelaria, American

While Southerners seem to hold a lot of honor when it comes to pie recipes and traditions, it doesn’t mean that the coast to coast adoration waivers in the slightest. Take the Pecan Pie at Two Little Red Hens, a traditional buttery filling topped with wonderfully toasted pecans, this pie’s perfection is tied effortlessly to its simplicity. For those who can’t quit the brown stuff, there’s a chocolate option which includes bittersweet chunks in the mix, but stick with the classic if you truly want to taste the rustic dynamic flavor duo of buttery nuttiness.

10. Key Lime Pie At Steve’s Authentic Key Lime Pie

Bakery, American

If the pie doesn’t do you in, Steve’s puns surely will. Steve’s Authentic Key Lime Pies is where you’ll find all the keys to a great pie. With lime as a key ingredient, you’d be surprised to know that the American Pie Council credits only two commercial bakeries in the US with using freshly squeezed key lime juice. Luckily, Steve’s is one of them. With a genuine and faithful resemblance to the first key lime pies ever made, these minimalist, handmade beauts are recognized as the best in the city. If you are a fan of the queen of green pies, then order a slice, sit back, and enjoy the taste of a tropical favorite.
