    Visited Proper Pie for the first time with a friend for lunch. The shop has an outdoor ordering window and a couple of tables out on the sidewalk. I didn't realize this before I went, but it seems to be mostly to-go since you're unable to go inside. Luckily there is a park near by with benches, so my friend and I enjoyed our lunch there. The salmon pie was delicious and a great portion for me. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and cheeseburger for my fiancé, however, he felt they were greasy and heavy. Overall I enjoyed my pie, but might not be for everyone!

    Had to stop for Pi Day of course! Line moved quick & it was easy to order online. Pies themselves were good, not great. We finished them off but not sure they were worth $7 each & a line around the block. Might try the savory pies though!

    Tried this place today after living a few blocks away for almost a year and I've been missing out. Walk up windows to order, the line has always intimidated me but there's a line bc it's an order window. So the wait is worth it!! Great customer service, friendly and informative. We got three savory pies. Chicken/leek/mushroom, pork/green chili, steak and cheese. ALL were great.

    Food was so good! Service was lightning fast, even with a line at the ordering window. Unfortunately, no inside seating, and only 2 tables outside for people to sit at. We got our pies and went to the nearby park to enjoy them. The curried lamb pie 5/5 was absolutely divine. The spices and gamey-ness of the lamb went really well together. Mince and cheese 3.5/5 was good too but heavy on the gravy, difficult to eat Thai chicken curry 4/5 a solid choice for non-red meat eaters! Well balanced. The pork BBQ and peach 4.5/5 was spectacular but just barely beat out by the lamb pie

    Finally got to try Proper Pie out after hearing about it for so long! It is a small storefront that slings out only pies, both sweet & savory! I did not try any of the sweet pies on this visit but the three savory pies I did try were flaky and flavorful. I ended up getting the Peach & Pork BBQ, Butter Chicken and Salmon, Leek & Potato pies. The Peach & Pork BBQ was my favorite it had an amazing amount of filling and a good portion of meat. The Butter Chicken left more to be desired as it was mainly filled with the mild tomato based sauce and only a few chunks of chicken which did not compliment the crust as well as it could. The pies were much bigger than I thought they would be and found myself getting full after one, luckily they refrigerated and reheated very well! An employee also shared that you can freeze them for later eating, as well. They only offer take-out here and have two small tables in the front but do not have a public restroom or indoor seating. The staff was extremely friendly and quite efficient. The line for this place was quite long but I only waited about 10 minutes in line (which was about 4 groups ahead of me) and my pies were handed to me warm as soon as I placed the order. Overall, I see why this is an RVA favorite and definitely recommend giving it a shot.

    A great place to stop by to pick up some pie from their convenient takeout window. We enjoyed our Peach + Sesame Crumble pie slice at the Libby Hill Park, which I highly recommend! Crust was great. Peach was perfect level of sweetness/tartness. Would definitely come back again. We went an hour before closing, and they had already run out of most things for the day. Try to go earlier if you can. Otherwise, I'm sure all of their menu items are solid.

    If you love pie, and I do, you will want to line up gladly at the proper pie window and order your savory hand pie and your slice of heavenly sweet pie! We have had several from there and they are all delicious! The menu changes so you can try something new when it does. The butter chicken pie and the chicken curry mango are two standouts among the savories. My fave sweet is the strawberry rhubarb! Perfect blend of sweet and sour! The crusts are flakey and tender! Love me some pie!

    Steak & Cheese

    A great quick stop for a treat. We had the steak pie and a campfire pie. The savory pie was outstanding, especially on a cold day. The sweet pie was just alright! The service was standout - super quick and friendly!

    one of my favorite stops during my richmond trip! this quaint little pie shop is tucked away. it has a few seats outside, but the locals seem to take it to the park nearby. they have a lot of both sweet and savory options. i tried the chicken, leak and mushroom pie and it was amazing! all the flavors were well put together and i regretted not getting more than one! for the sweet pie i tried the strawberry rhubarb which tasted so good. it was sweet with a slight tart flavor. the crust itself seemed a little underbaked but that didn't stop me from eating all of the filling.

    Stopped here while driving through Richmond and I am so glad we did! They have a variety of savory and sweet pies and they change out some of their pies weekly which is very fun. It is just a little window you walk up to. It is a cute little neighborhood. Was able to get parking just outside to get some pies. There is no where to eat them which is a little sad. Lots of unique pies. I ordered the thai savory and the turtle sweet pie. I loved them both. They were so filling and definitely worth the price! I even went back for a second one but they were out of the turtle. Workers were so nice and offered their recommendations! Would definitely come back! Yum!

    Proper Pie was one of the most highly recommended RVA must-eats I read about online, so I had to try it. It's a tiny shop that only takes walk-up orders. They have two small tables outside and there is also a park conveniently located not even a block away. They have an assortment of savory and sweet New Zealand style personal and whole pies. Based on the three pies I tried, I'm sure everything is terrific. I went for the steak and cheese, their most popular savory pie, which is filled with diced steak in an onion gravy mixed with American cheese. Buttery, flaky crust with a warm, hearty, savory gravy. Now that is heaven on earth. To satisfy my sweet tooth, I got the banoffee and mock turtle (vegan) pies. The banoffee is their bestseller sweet pie and I now know why and am so on board. It's got beautiful and thick layers of English soft toffee, bananas, whipped cream, topped off with cocoa powder, all sitting on top of an Anzac biscuit crust. I was iffy about how tasty a vegan pie would be, but the person who took my order convinced me that the mock turtle was worth trying. It's got an Oreo crust, almond butter mousse filling, topped with Rice Krispies cereal, chocolate ganache, and crushed almonds. Very delicious in its own right. Proper Pie is a special spot to return to over and over again if you are ever in RVA. They know what they're doing, that's for sure.

    It was great! I've been here twice, and both times were amazing. There's no indoor seating or bathroom available, but there are two tables outside. The process is simple and efficient: just order, pay, and get your pie. The steak and cheese pie is absolutely delicious, you can really taste the chunks of beef, and the savory sauce ties it all together perfectly. We tried the steak and cheese, the sausage roll, and the butter chicken pie. The sausage roll has a solid filling; it was a little dry, but still tasty. The butter chicken pie had great flavor as well, but the steak and cheese is still my favorite. We haven't made it to the sweet pies yet, but one day, we definitely will!

    I've tried many different pies from here and they're all great! Spinach chickpea roll was also surprisingly good!

Calming spot to grab a treat, get some work done/journal, or catch up with friends in an aesthetic and modern cafe. Ordered the paradise tea with mango and avocado.

The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs.

I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,

I got a peanut butter pie which had a chocolate layer and a graham cracker crust. I wish I'd split it up into multiple sittings because it was so indulgent, but somehow I stuffed it down. Someone ahead of me was trying to order something that this place was out of and was redirected towards their chocolate caramel cake. Given that I still remember eating that cake during the peak of the COVID era some four years ago, I really would not second guess the opportunity to order a slice.
