Your Pie-ness
Downtown’s New Pie Heaven
All weekend you were dying for a piece.
You weren’t overly picky in your desires, either. It just needed to be hot... and sweet... and
moist.
Yes, we’re talking about pie. And we know where you can find a slice.
Introducing
The Pie Hole, your new go-to for all things lattice-crust-related, opening tomorrow
Downtown from the former GM at
Eveleigh.
Let’s get one thing straight: this is not a bakery. It’s a pie shop. You won’t find too much fuss when
you walk in—just a simple room with
wood tables, steel
chairs and some concrete. Oh yeah, and plenty of fresh-baked pies. Every day they’ll have four or five
of them available by the slice—everything from
Becky’s Apple Crumb to
Peanut Butter
Pretzel to
Southern Confetti (with pecan, coconut and graham cracker).
You’ll want to pair it with one of the pure-cane-sugar sodas from the fridge—or better yet, with a hot
cup of Groundwork coffee roasted specifically for the shop. (And by all means: add a scoop of
French vanilla
bean ice cream to your pie.)
But in case you and your writing partner/Internet date/stomach are hungry for something a little more
savory, you’ll want to order one of the takeout-friendly hand pies stuffed with things like pork and mac
and cheese.
No, you can’t top them with ice cream.
