    Silk pie
    Diane W.

    Cute little pies here. I ordered the silk pie for a work event, it was pretty good but definitely needs to stay refrigerated at all times or else it turns into a mushy mess. It was pretty much pudding inside of a pie crust, topped with whipped cream.

    God's gift to mankind... carrot cake
    Nicholas L.

    Now, I'm not one of these folks who write lots of reviews, you either have to really screw up or do really well. In this case it was the latter, and let me explain the situation. My wife's birthday was fast approaching and I knew she loved carrot cake, we had come to Pie Gourmet before for other goodies and I wanted to have them make her cake. You may have astutely noticed that cake and pie are different. So, I asked if they made carrot cake, and they did but not all the time. So I begged if they would for her birthday and they agreed. I picked the cake up and it was perfect. Well, perfect is an understatement. Let me explain the depth and complexity of this cake. It's heavy, but right below that line where it becomes too dense and in that sweet spot when you know it's going to be amazing but not that it will form into a 50lb lead weight in your stomach. It was incredibly moist, and decadent. The carrot and spices were in perfect balance, leaving that little bit of crunch from the carrot and the little bit of nuts included added just that little extra crunch. The base of the cake had this perfect little crisp too it, not too crispy but just a nice light caramelization of the sugar forming into a subtle crunchy texture, just amazing. The icing on carrot cake can often be too sweet or too rich, not here, it was a perfect balance. If I am lucky enough to know the day of my death, then I will request this cake, so that I can experience heaven prior to passing. 10000/10 would try again(daily)..... I'm actually glad they don't make it daily or I'd be broke outside of the store asking for change to get another hit of the cake, homeless, and strung out on carrot cake.

    Their system is broken.

    This is my second bad experience with Pie Gourmet, and I can't in good conscience recommend them. If you deal with them, even in writing, there is a high chance they will mess up your order. The first time, I ordered a gluten free pecan pie and stopped in to pick it up on the way to a holiday party. I was hugely pregnant and they said they had no gluten free pies even though they had my order. They did t make it and couldn't find it. I left in tears. Now I am in with an order. They did not have what I placed online due to the holiday menu - totally fine. When I spoke to an employee on the phone, I switched my order to pumpkin and made sure the pickup date was today. Well, nothing got changed on the order. And they are taking walk in orders but refused to sell me a pecan or pumpkin pie even though I already paid for it. So again leaving empty handed despite paying for pies. Honestly, go anywhere else. It's not worth it. The owner will blame you and refuse to help. There are great pies elsewhere in the area. No desire to help customers or admit that maybe someone on their team made a mistake. I can't believe I'm walking away again with no pies. And I do have the email showing no pickup date listed, so convenient for them to blame the customer when their system is wrong.

    Definitely is not my go to pie shop. We typically will drive out to mom's apple pies in Leesburg. My partner loves pie so much, anytime he sees a pie shop he will stop in and try it out. The first time he went here was two weeks ago. He brought me home their chocolate pie and also their Nutella donuts. The donuts were actuallly really good but the chocolate pie was the worst chocolate pie I've had and I think it's pretty hard to mess up chocolate pie. The pie crust was good but the chocolate filling and whipped cream on top were awful. Today he stopped by again to give them another try and I declined when he asked if I wanted anything. He did bring home a pot pie for dinner and I was curious to try it. He made it in the oven and told me the one I make is better. This pie was almost $30 so I think we both had higher expectations. The chicken inside was touch and hard to chew. I think again the pie crust was good but inside lacked flavor.

    Pecan Pie
    Maitrayee D.

    Had ordered two types of pie Banana and Pecan pie. Both were tasty .Banana cream crust was underbaked. Banana cream had too much of cream. It was tasty . Loved the pecan pie too . Generous amount of pecans . If you heat it up it tastes very good.

    Apple Pie
    Christina N.

    I ordered an apple pie online for pick-up the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. There's only one line, regardless if you're picking up or ordering at the counter, and it moves slowly. It took me about 25-30 minutes to pick up my order, which was longer than expected, but they had a bunch of people working so I didn't mind! As for the pie, it was pretty good. The pie crust is buttery and not sweet. The filling is also not too sweet and the apple chunks are large, which makes heating it up in the oven take forever. I would come back since there are so many options!

    French Silk pie
    M D.

    This place was recommended on a FB group that we frequent so thought we'd give it a shot. Drove 30 minutes to Vienna. We were underwhelmed by the shop itself. Inside is well stocked with products. The young man who helped us was very attentive. We ordered a whole French Silk pie. To say this pie was awful is an understatement. The whipped cream was flavorless, the filling tasted odd and the crust had weird chunks in it. All 3 people in our family thought this pie was terrible. The worst part was we paid $35. ‍ Ridiculously overpriced and so disappointing. We learned 2 things today... don't trust FB recommendations and don't get the French Silk pie from The Pie Gourmet. The Marie Calendar frozen pie from Giant is phenomenally better and half the price.

    Cherry Pie
    Virginia B.

    Maybe they had a bad day but we got another cherry pie yesterday and the filling is very tight and gelatinous. So sad because the cherries are tart and delicious but it's so dry I won't eat it.

    Apple Peach Pie
    Mahalia C.

    OMG....our wonderful neighbors gifted us an apple peach crumble pie for Christmas. Don't know what we did do deserve such a delicious treat, but we're fans! Less than 24 hours and my husband and I haven't stopped eating from this huge baked dessert. I love the light crumble toppings with the toasted almonds. It's the right amount of sweetness. They're getting 5-stars purely on taste. I can't say much about anything else as we have yet to experience their customer service or ambience of the place. When we stop by and try out other pies, I'll send an updated review.

    Chocolate Cream Pie

    This place isn't what it used to be. I visited today to get a couple of pies. The service was mediocre at best. The staff wasn't rude, but they did not seem inclined to be helpful. I got a chocolate cream pie and it doesn't taste any different than the chocolate cream pie from Walmart. The difference is I paid $7.95 for one slice from Pie Gourmet.

    Very nice pies but they are a bit too sweet for me. Loved their banana pie - it's our traditional party pie.

    I've heard of this place and when in the area recently, I bought many Pastys to bring home and…read moreenjoy later on. The place is really just carry-out, they have fresh made, hot pastys to go, which they can sell, as well as frozen pastys to bring home. They also have a large selection of snacks directly from England. Service was helpful, the guy working the counter was descriptive and helped me with how the various pastys were made. Also, when walking in the amazing smells of all the workers in the back making food smelled incredible! I opted for some of nearly all their offerings of pastys. A couple of days later I made the chicken masala for lunch. I used their directions for baking, not the microwaving to get it ready to eat. They were spot on and the pasty came our perfectly warmed up and ready to eat. The crust was outstanding! None of it was dry or tastless, the whole thing was flaky, perfect, buttery, and tasty! The filling was very nice, though it had no flavors that resembled Indian or "masala" to me, so I'm not sure what they consider masala, but that's not a bad thing as the filling tasted great! I'm looking forward to making and eating all the rest, I'm sure they'll be great too!

    I love British food. With that said, I was super underwhelmed by their pasties. I ordered the beef,…read morechicken masala, lamb, chicken cordon bleu and sausage rolls. Beef: normally this would be my favorite back in the day but here... Absolutely no flavor. Quite surprised but I would not order again. Chicken Masala: decent flavor, probably my favorite out of all the oasties I got here. Moroccan lamb: decent flavor also. Chicken cordon bleu: not sure If I got a bad one but yea, hard pass. Sausage rolls: decent flavor. Price point is ok as the oasties were quite filled. It's just that a lot of them just didn't have that taste that I gotta come back for more taste. It was just.... Eh.

    FOOD/DRINK: 4/5 SERVICE: 5/5…read more EXPERIENCE: 4/5 Hubby really loves the original Fairfax location since he used to work near it. Once we saw that there was another one, we got excited. We decided to go to get a little snack and coffee to start the day before some errands. I got a vanilla latte, while he got a mocha latte. Both iced. I got almond milk and hubby got oat milk. I enjoyed the blend of coffee and flavor - not either one overpowering each other. I personally like a little more syrup but it wasn't undrinkable. The almond milk was a teeny bit woody. I'll get oat milk next time. The cashier helped us decided on what pastries to get (there wasn't any signage). I ended up getting a strawberry croissant that was so pretty - it even had some gold glitter on top! Perfect for cherry blossom season. It was flaky and not too sweet. Hubby got a cinnamon roll and they warmed it up for it so it was nice and gooey. It was a cute urban feeling cafe with great AC and comfy seating. Parking was a little small but that's to be expected in the area. We'd return if in the Vienna area.
