After eating at restaurant which they didn't offer any desserts but I saw a placed up the street called Acme Pie Company. As you walked in, the interior was a cozy little diner atmosphere with seatings àt the counter as well as the wall. They also have an arcade in the rear. They offer a variety of pies; cold treats; hot and cold beverages. There were 3 pies: 1) Coconut 2) Peach Cobbler 3) Mixed Berry. All three pies had tte right consistency, very flavorful and delicious. The coconut one look dry but surprisingly it was moist, creamy and smooth. The service was excellent from Porter. He was patient, friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely make another visit to try other pies on their display. read more

Love me a great slice of pie. My search for the best slice brought me to Acme pie on a whim. I can say I was pleasantly surprised by the selections. The lemon chess immediately spoke to me. I also ordered the apply pie and a fig cookie. The lemon chess was my favorite, but the fig was also a delectable. It was soft and not sweet. The Apple pie was good but the filling had alittle too much liquid. Overall the pies were great and I'd come back to try other options. A definite much try if you're in the area. read more

09/13/26 Walked here from our airbnb to have dessert after our adventures for the day. The pie hit the mark for our sweet craving to end the day. The gentleman behind the counter helping us was very friendly and made conversation with us. Cute little shop with a nice selection of pies. read more

Small spot on Colombia pike with a variety of both sweet and savory pies that are ready to order either by-the-slice or by-the-pie. I've tried both the sweet and savory pies. I've enjoyed the savory pies more than the sweet, but I will say that the crust of all of the pies here is fantastic Have a bunch of pinball machines that you can play as well Pretty limited seating, but they have a few tables/chairs both inside and out. Also have some coffee options as well read more

So we were looking for a place called the pinball basement and ironically this is the place we were looking for only they had moved from their original location and we didnt know it is a pie shop. Annnnnnnndddd we came here on pi day lol so weird. I found this place while exploring yelp options and my main intent was to introduce my son to the simple joys and nostalgia of playing pinball. He loved it! We probably spent 2 hours playing. It definitely bought me back to my childhood and I felt like I was a kid in candy store for a day. However, my hands began to cramp and I was snapped back into reality that I was not a kid. So I decided to take a pie break and ordered the pecan pie for myself and the apple pie for my son. It was pretty good for $6 each. It was definitely a nice treat and I look forward to trying this banana pie they had. I never saw a menu, so I am assuming that flavors change regularly. They offered a variety of can sodas, milk, and coffee to enjoy with your pie. Inside reminds me of a diner. Its pretty small with limited sitting. But people are definitely rotating in and out as they are there to just enjoy a quick slice. We really only came here to get out the house and do something different. We came to play the different pinball machines but if you dont live close to this pie shop I dont know if the trip for pie is worth it. I wont say that it was mouth watering good, it was just okay. Nothing spectacular. If you're in the area or just bored and have nothing else to do which is my new norm, by all means take the trip and get out the house to enjoy a good game of pinball.to your fingers hurt and get you some pie afterwards. Btw a day pass to play is $10 per person. That not too bad in my opinion considering how long we stayed to play as the time passed by. read more

Acme Pie - Pie sampler - Desserts Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Pretty solid pie place with a wide variety! The peach and watermelon was my favorite. The flavors are well balanced, not too sweet. Only complaint is the crust was very crumbly and didn't really hold up to the weight of the filling so it disintegrated quickly read more

A bit disappointed. I was excited to try this place - especially since they have pinball and I thought it would be fun to play while my wife picked pie, but that is just not how it goes here. There is a sign as you walk in that says pinball is not free. No worries I loaded up on quarters before I came. But it's 10 bucks to play for an hour. Seriously? I was just looking for a quick game or 2. Bought over 100$ in pies and they want 10$ for some pinball? The worker here was disinterested and best. Savory pie was good. Apple was kind of dry, same with the others we got for a party which is disappointing. Probably will not return. MB bakery is better in quality and price. read more

Tried Acme Pie recently and had mixed feelings. The chocolate pecan maple pie was good but not amazing. It was just a solid pie overall. I do wish there was more chocolate though, since that was the part I was most excited about. The berry mix pie was more disappointing for me. To be fair, I'm not the biggest berry fan to begin with, but it honestly tasted almost exactly like the strawberry pies from McDonald's. Not bad if you like that flavor, just not really what I was hoping for from a bakery pie. The service was ok and the ambience was cool. You could play games in the back but there wasn't much seating. read more

Very sweet staff. Clean and unique pie shop. Slices are $6.50 each. Had a nice mix of offerings. Key lime and brambleberry were my choices. Both solid choices. This shop will satisfy your pie cravings read more

The pie is great and all staff I've met have been very nice & helpful. There are a lot of great flavors to choose from and sometimes it's hard to choose. Usually they have both savory and sweet pies. They also have a pie milkshake which I need to try. There's a bunch of pinball machines in the back - $10 for unlimited play. read more

Editing rating since it was the special circumstances that made for not the best experience. However the pies themselves were good and the staff seemed to be putting in their best effort, so will perhaps have to come back on a normal day -- We went on pi day since they had 3.14 slices in store. The line was really long and people were grabbing entire pies and flavors were running out very quickly. We got there about 10 mins after they opened and it took us an hour to get food. It would've been nice if they had had a limit to ensure more people were able to try some and so the line could move a bit faster The pies in store were also refrigerated so we ended up taking it home to heat it up. The slices themselves were good but perhaps not worth the effort. The staff seemed a little stressed which is fair. read more

Apple pie for July is just the kind of pie that we were looking for. We had been here a couple of times in the past, and their pies are definitely the gourmet type. Baked fresh every day, and they have just the right amount of ingredients. So many times in the past when we would get pies from the grocery store, they would either be too sweet, or the crust would be super hard. I also appreciate that here it's a locally owned business, and I think the guy remembers me from shopping here before. We've tried their apple strussel pie, and key lime pies before and they e been outstanding. We will continue to shop here for as long as we remain in the area. read more

What a cool place! Have you ever thought of combining a pie shop with an arcade? Look no further than Acme. Can't decide which pie slices you want? Get a sampler platter of 8 slices for $40. We got the super chunk nut crunch pie which had a mix of things in it and the watermelon peach. We asked the woman working which she recommended and she walked us through a few options and was very helpful in describing how they come up with the flavors and if it is a pie that they have often. The watermelon peach was such a fun mixture I had never seen before, and it was incredible. They also have a coconut custard with almonds and chocolate and a blueberry with lemon curd that I will be returning to try. When you walk in on the left there are a number of arcade games. You have to buy a monthly pass or day pass if you'd like to play. read more

I've been meaning to write this for a while so it's long overdue. After reading all the reviews about Acme, I am honestly not sure if we caught them on a bad day but for us, it was not worth the price. The pies that we got were dry and did NOT live up to the hype. We got a pecan and apple pie for variety based on the employee's recommendations. Sadly, neither were liked by any of our party of 12 people. I'd consider coming back to try another, however, the price and taste of both pies were a deterrent to be honest. For the price/reputation, we expected something better quality and tasting. read more

I called to see if they still had whole quiche for sale, and they did, and the young man I spoke to was kind enough to set it aside for me until I got there. That had to be the best quiche Lorraine I have ever had. Silky and full of flavor, everything melding well together without one ingredient overpowering the other. This is my first purchase from Acme but I will definitely be back. read more

Cool little pie shop with a bunch of pinball machines. Tried the Apple and Blackberry pies. The Apple was good but nothing special which is a little disappointing from a specialty pie shop. The blackberry on the other hand was very unique, deep flavor from spices in the filling, worth trying out. Decently priced around $6/slice. Overall cute spot and worth a visit if you're in the area at one of the nearby restaurants and looking for a sweet treat read more

Acme Pie - BlackBerry and Apple Pies - Desserts Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I came by on Sunday at this suggestion of my wife to check out your pies The gentleman who is there with a nice beard and mustache told me that pie orders are closed on 10 October yesterday was 23 November for Thanksgiving, which I think would be this coming Thursday Literally, it's like a month and a half in advance in order to order pies OK, there are other things I can order. He did say that starting December 1 I can order pies for Christmas. I decided to order a slice of cherry pie. I wasn't impressed with it, but I read somewhere that the cherry pie was supposed to have a little hint of clove flavor. Now for the real showstopper You advertise that you serve breakfast from 7 AM to 10 AM That could be very useful for people in fact on Monday morning I came that's done 24 November and I found out you're closed Monday and Tuesday not very useful Oh, I see on Wednesday. You're only open from 3 PM to 9 PM same with Thursday and Friday but you are open at 7 AM on Saturday and Sunday so I suppose I could buy breakfast then If you're going to offer breakfast to people in the way of cheese biscuits, it would be a good idea that you actually have more regular hours for what it's useful for them. It's also better to put out clear and concise hours that you're actually open so that people don't drive there to find that they're closed like I did this Monday read more

The woman at the register just absolutely made my day! Went in on the evening of Pi Day, so of course they were pretty cleaned out except for sweet potato pies, which I unfortunately don't enjoy. One slice of banoffee pie left, which I do like and purchased, and at the register I was asked if I like blackberry pie (it's my favorite and I told her afterward) and she gifted me a slice that I think she was saving for herself. What a kind gesture, I'll be going back! read more

I came here while visiting family in Arlington and boy am I glad I did. There was ample parking in the parking lot and some great pies! I ordered the key lime pie and walnut chocolate pie. OMG! They were sooo good, the lady who helped me also gave me a free pie on the house, THANK YOU for that. I honestly wanted to try a slice of each pie but wifey wasn't going to allow me to do that but i'll be back to try at least 3 more slices of different pies. Key Lime- If you love sour this is the one for you. The key lime is very strong and for people who love sour, you'll enjoy this one. Walnut Chocolate Pie- If you're a fan of pecan pie then you're going to love this one. Honestly I really enjoyed it because it wasn't sweet like normal pecan pie. Anyhoo, no matter what pie or slice you try, you're going to love this spot. Trust me on that. read more

Love acme pie! Can't enjoy the pies even more. Go and get some; small or large. You won't be disappointed.

Moved to the DMV at the beginning of February and I've been here twice now. The first time I got two slices: orange something and a turtle type. Sorry I can't remember their actual name. Fail. The orange.....delicious. Very subtle on the orange since I was expecting more for a key-lime punch, but it still didn't disappoint! The turtle type one was amazing. Nothing else to say ahhaha. The second time I got the Mac n chee and bacon savory and the shoofly. It was Pi day so they were out of everything else. Glad I got there when I did. The savory pie....yes please! The shoofly....I've never had it before. I love molasses and thought I would love this. Nope, I was wrong. I can say it doesn't taste good because I think that's just the pie. Kind of like how not everyone likes sweet potato pie. If you like shoofly, you'll love it. If you don't, you wont. The ambiance is wonderful and there are pinball games to play. Great place! I'll be back once they open their new location. RIP current location. They have a great variety of sweet and savory pies. That gets 5 stars by itself. read more

The chocolate chess pie had a decent flavor but lacked the richness and depth I expected. It was enjoyable, but not memorable. Similarly, the cherry pie was average, with a standard crust and filling that didn't stand out. Overall, both pies were mediocre and didn't leave a lasting impression. It reminded us of store bought pie. The customer service was amazing and the worker answered all of our questions. She was very helpful. It is a nice small shop. We loved the pinball machines. read more

Ambiance: 5/5 - Its a small space but I like the pinball machines that give it a retro vibe in the place. Bar seats were comfortable to eat on as well, so a solid spot for a quick bite. Price: 4.5/5 - $6 for a slice and $2 for ice cream is honestly not bad in terms of pricing especially for the quality you get. I thought the price was very reasonable especially given its a store in Arlington, VA. Food: 4.5/5 - We got the mixed berry pie (excuse the picture as we asked to have it warmed up and it got soft). It was not overly sweet and the crust was solid but also soft. I thought it was complimented with the vanilla ice cream so well and I highly recommend getting vanilla ice cream as well as the pie slice. I'd love to try some of their other ones as well. Service: 5/5 - There was one woman working at the time we went and she was super nice and friendly. She was quick to serve as well even with plenty of customers coming in. Great service! read more

Updated review: STILL 5/5 Pies: Crust is still amazing as always. Their pies aren't too sweet, so eating a slice doesn't feel like a struggle. Their fruit pies are particularly special. I had the seasonal blackberry peach today and it was a dream! I could taste some peaches, but the proportions were so well done it tasted like a brand new fruit creation! Pinball machines??: I didn't realize they installed pinball machines! They're super old school and free to play. I definitely spent 20 mins enjoying it Went home with quiche, a chilled banoffee pie, and a slice of sour cherry. Thanks Acme for being phenomenal--I'm thrilled everytime I get a bite here read more

I was introduced to Acme during the pandemic when they were doing their local delivery pie deals because it just brought joy to my life in a sad sad time. Now years later, I still love this Columbia Pike staple. I've never had a bad pie here so you really can't go wrong, but I think my #1 fave is their Strawberry rhubarb, closely followed by the chocolate maple pecan. Tart cherry is also great. Just checked out the new location yesterday and dare I say it might be even better than the last one?! I don't know why but for some reason it feels even more inviting than before. We are planning to try the savory pies next; could be a great weeknight dinner option. Anyway y'all please check out this awesome pie shop. It might not be as fancy as those North Arlington pinkies up dessert places but I promise you the flavor far exceeds them. read more

Great pies in a fun atmosphere. The pie options are really interesting! Tried a watermelon peach one which I've never seen before. Would love to come back and try more pies. The pinball games are an honor system best we can tell. There is an online QR code to buy your day pass. It was reasonable and great for kids who are just learning pinball. The games are really fun. read more

Acme Pie - Pinball Rush - Desserts Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Acme Pie has excellent pies! We came here twice now and got 4 different pies - all of which were very delicious! The pies here taste homemade and not premade like the ones you can buy at the grocery store. The staff was also super nice and friendly. The inside of the place looks very cute - hopefully after this pandemic, we can enjoy eating inside the pie house. I am very glad they came to the Columbia Pike area and we really love supporting small businesses in the Pike. I highly recommend this place, it's affordable and it's also great quality. Splurge a bit on an actually delicious pie versus getting a mehhh one from the grocery store. read more

I was in the mood for desert and a place to read the paper (yes I occasionally still read the paper on Sundays.) Acme easily fulfilled both needs. It was a quiet Sunday inside but lots of people came in and out for take out orders. I bellied up to the bar and enjoyed a great slice of classic Apple Pie to enjoy with my copy of Barron's. Will definitely make a return visit to try more varieties and to experience the friendly service with my weekly paper. read more

My family and I were craving pie, so my husband decided to get us some. I can't say much about the ambiance or service since I wasn't there, but the pie was really good. However, I was soon met with a terrible stomach ache, and my family was met with that too. It wasn't a coincidence--I assume the food was contaminated. read more

Our daughter brought over a Strawberry Rhubarb pie. The crust was nearly raw. It was not a par-baked pie. We heated it up in the toaster oven to try to salvage it. Still not great, but at least edible. Very disappointed in the pie, which cost many times more than a grocery store pie and was not even as good. read more

After my initial review, Acme Pie Co. messaged me through Yelp to apologize about not updating the time change on their website and FB (it has been updated). Then went above and beyond to first, see if they could deliver a pie on the spot for my mother! And continued to follow-up to make sure I was a satisfied customer. I gotta say--most businesses would have stopped at the apology... I had coffee and the vegan mixed berries pie. The pie leaves you wanting more. It was the right amount of crunchy on the outside with an extremely heavy-handed mixed berries filling inside, so much so, that it was oozing out as you chewed --leaving you licking your fingers. Topped off the experience with a freshly brewed coffee. I am not sure the brand of coffee they used, but it is dry and less acidic than the Starbucks around the corner. I look forward to tasting their seasonal collection in the months to come. Maybe we should make a Yelp/Meetup event out of it? read more

My husband and I wanted to have pies at our wedding instead of cake. We tried out another place before we went to Acme, and were unimpressed. As soon as we did a tasting at Acme though, but we were blown away by all their pies. We loved even the flavors we didn't think we'd be interested in. The owner, Sol, was so easy to work with, and gave us guidance to help us figure out which pies to order. He then was nice enough to deliver our order to our wedding venue. When the wedding day came, the pies were a huge hit! read more
