Little Pie Company

Liiisa: We always go to Starbucks. Dude, this is wrong — We’re in Manhattan! Today, we’re going somewhere else.
*Liiisa excitedly drags friend to Little Pie Company only to find it boarded up & vacated* Closed.
Guess where we ended up. Yep, Starbucks two blocks away. We didn’t have time for Pastis.

Sour Cream Apple Walnut pie = best pie I’ve ever had. Combine with Tasty D-​Lite for maximum delicious-​ness.

Not a bad place, nice place, nice staff members. My husband loved the pie.

I think people who laud this place aren’t too familiar with a good homemade pie.
Of course, the sour cream apple truly is one of the best pies this city has to offer, so don’t get me wrong — I appreciate it’s greatness. As for their other pies… the crust is just not that flaky and delicious, sometimes it’s even tough. The fruit pies are often too watery — put some tapioca in there or cornstarch or something. Finally, if you’re going to be THE place for pie, why not popularize some less known but totally delicious pies? Sweet potato, cranberry chess, and on and on…
That said, Little Pie is still a good shop, I just think it’s over-​rated. I do also like their cream-​filled cupcakes, those are definitely worth a try when your sweet tooth is tingling.

Everyone keeps talking about the Sour Cream Apple pie but I wasn’t a fan. I love apple pie, but this just didn’t do it for me. It didn’t have the comforting sweet cinnamon goodness that I love. It was just ok. The crust wasn’t as flaky as I like either.
The real star for me was the Key Lime. Oh My God! The perfect combination of sweet & tart poured into a graham cracker crust. YUM!

This diner/​shop is wicked, bad little pie store! I believe that Satan created LPC and forced me to go there just to torture me. Why, why oh why can we not have pie stores on the West Coast? How fucking hard is it to make lovely little pies and sell them? LPC pumps their pie-​crack juice out into the air, you can smell it for at least a block. The delicious wafting scent is like those you see in the old cartoons, it’s like a finger, coaxing you and as you get closer it grabs you and thrusts you inside! There you are face to face with a display case all lit up like the pearly gates… wahhhhh ahhhhhhh. Glistening, shining, flaky crusting all over the place.
Get this, the pies are delicious and not only do they serve full pies, they live up to their name offering ‘single serving’ pies in not only sweet (Sour Cream Apple Walnut) but savory (chicken)! I’m a huge sucker for home made potpie, if you are too, then this is the only place you need to go.

The second that you walk into this Meatpacking District bakery, the smell alone will make you fall in love with this place. You can’t beat the Little Pie Company for any dessert, they are made right in front of you. The pies are not that cheap but are worth it. They also make mini versions of every pie that they make. I reccomend the Mississippi Mud Pie and Cinnamon Apple Pie. Stop in after dinner or before and pick up an amazing dessert

I love this place! It’s so cute and you can smell the magic happening when you walk by. Sour cream apple and the chocolate cream pies were great. Lemon meringue not so much. Make a trip. It’s worth it.

Who doesn’t like pie? For those who absolutely love pie, then you MUST go to the Little Pie Company for some homemade, fresh pies that will make you dance with glee. The place is small but the smells and the delicious pies more than make up for the lack of space.
And, afterall, that’s all that matters.

Three words: Mississippi Mud Pie!

I tried a slice of old-​fashioned apple pie. The pie fell apart coming out of the microwave. The apple and crust were really good by itself. The sourness from the apple and sweetness from the crust balanced and complemented each other. Only wish the filling and crust could hold together a bit more.

Making good pie is an art in itself and the Little Pie Company has mastered it. The sour cream apple is out of site and I love the banana-​coconut cream. I am not bowled over by the pumpkin pie, but it is my favorite pie so I am very picky. With a mini-​pie option it is great for an after dinner treat to share among friends. I love this place.
UPDATE:
I can’t beleive that they have closed their doors. Does anyone know if this is really true? No more sourcream apple pie??? I just don’t know if I want to live in a world without it! :(

I have a little song and dance I do every time I go to the Little Pie Company. «I love pie… I love pie… peach pie, mississippi mud pie, apple pie, cream pie… I love pie… I love pie… yummy, yummy in my tummy whummy… I love pie.» Well you get the idea.
My very first pie was a Sour Cream Apple Pie… at first I didn’t think the combination of Sour Cream and Apple Pie would go well together. Oh how wrong I was. (My friend brought the pie for a dinner… thanks Friend!) I love that the pies come in different sizes so if I’m hankering for some pie and I’m all alone I can get the small size and satisfy my craving and do a little dance. I already have a hard time trying to choose a pie I haven’t had the chance to try their other dessert choices.

I first heard about the Little Pie Company two years ago, when a friend hand-​carried a pumpkin pie to our San Francisco Thanksgiving table. Now that I live in New York, I’ve sampled a few more — the Mississippi Mud and pecan being particularly delicious. Plan ahead — there’s a long list to order a pie for your holiday table, and the list closes well in advance of the holiday.

Who doesn’t like pie? With all the cupcake joints in the city, I was glad to go to a dessert place where buttercream frosting doesn’t get top billing.
I had peach pie but would love to go back to try the Mississippi Mud or apple or three berry … so good. I can make cupcakes at home, but I can’t make pie.

Sour cream apple pie … greatness.
Mississippi mud pie… a little sweet but… greatness.
Pumpkin Pie… greatness.
Did not know about the new West 14^th St. location as I always went to W. 43^rd.
No reason to go anywhere else for a pie.

I love dessert. I have never considered myself a pie person but could polish off their Mississippi Mud Pie like there is no tomorrow. It’s nice that they have different sized pies so you can grab a big one or a bunch of smaller ones if you can’t make up your mind. The Sour Cream Apple Walnut is delish, too and everything is fresh. The smell that hits you when you walk in the door of this place alone is worth going for.

YUM… my friend ordered us the Banana Cream Pie & Lemon Meringue Pie and both were delicious & fresh. I could only handle so much since I don’t have too much of a sweet tooth, but thankfully they came in ‘mini’ size and 3 of us shared. Mind you, just one pie would have sufficed as there are probably 3 or 4 servings each pie. There was definitely a vast selection of mini pies and desserts — perfect little pick me up for a day hiking around the city. Take it to go, as there’s almost nowhere to sit.

Eh, just okay for me. I’ve tried some of the pies and cakes here, but despite the rants I’ve heard from my friends, I found the food to be surprisingly regular. I’d only stop by if I’m in the area, but wouldn’t go out of the way for this place.

Adorable shop on 14^th Street — great place to get a quick dessert. Lots of old-​fashioned pies and cakes and cupcakes — the pies come in 3 sizes. We split the baby banana coconut crème pie which was really good. I haven’t tried the other desserts, but have heard mixed reviews. Very little seating (3 tables), so it’s mostly takeout — you can get coffee and tea here. The bonus is that they have a restroom which makes it a perfect pit stop when you’re shopping in the area.
