314 Pie

I just had my first experience with 314 Pie and I was impressed!
I tried the steak, mushroom and cheese pie and it was tremendous! It looked and tasted like a home cooked meal. I snagged a chocolate chunk and almond cookie for a dessert and was presented with a MASSIVE cookie that was warm, gooey, and just the perfect balance between soft and crunchy.
I would recommend this truck to anyone looking for a home style meal, away from home. I’ll be sure to hunt down this truck whenever I work in the area.

Great Savory pies. Maybe a little more salt, but good crust and decent filling.
The sweets I’ve tried have missed the mark for me, but it’s a flavor choice issue (spicing), not a quality one so you may enjoy them.

We hired 314 Pie to come out to the Arboretum for a volunteer event in the New Zealand Garden this past weekend. Deke and his pies were awesome! After three hours of weeding and mulching, our volunteers and staff had worked up serious appetites, and these pies hit the spot. Each pie is a completely satisfying meal, all wrapped up in a perfect pie crust! About half of our volunteers were from the Seattle Christchurch Sister City Association and they sign-​off on the authenticity of 314 Pie. Thanks, Deke.

Pretty dry, would have been nice with some gravy. I had the steak mushroom and cheddar, it definitely tasted like beef stew, couldn’t make out the cheese though. The crust was great! It was rather small for $ 8, I wouldn’t try their dinner pies again but I’d try the dessert pies.

Mac and cheese pie was not as kid friendly as I thought. Probably more my fault for not knowing what pancetta is. Loved the chicken pot pie though! Was really surprised by the care that went into making the crust. It was perfectly flaky and looked pretty. The only reason it’s not a five star place is lack of plain options for picky taste buds.

Stopped after work at the Lake City Farmers Market. The pancetta and pea pie was sold out; it would have been my first choice.
I opted for the steak, mushroom and onion. Presentation is great but as a baker I suspected from the appearance that the crust was a tiny bit dry and it was. If you are a meat lover, this one is for you! I would have loved more mushrooms and I couldn’t find the onions. There wasn’t much of a sauce binding the filling but it still tasted very good.
While it sounds like I shouldn’t have given 5 stars, I did because the portion was perfect for dinner, it was not overly seasoned but prepared well, reasonable for a mid-​week treat, & still warm after my 20 min. drive home! Thank you so much for dinner :)

I’m always happy when the 314 Pie truck is around for lunch! They have a huge variety of tasty pies. It’s a lot of food, but I usually grab both a savory and a sweet one. :)

I am a HUGE believer that Seattle food trucks over charge and that is why some of them have no lines… ever. Don’t get me wrong, I get that food should be between a 200% and 400% markup. But as a diner, I hope to see a value in the product. When I received my pie, it was light in my hand. I LOVED that it was ready immediately and smelled good. Looked good and tasted good. In fact, it was really good. I just wished I had a few more bites.
Everybody has advice… If you are at a location and you want to build returning business and you have a great product, try some marketing. Give 10 coupons to each person who buys a pie. The coupon is $ 2 off a pie that costs $ 8 or $ 9 and is ONLY good on the next day you are at the location. Sure, it cuts into your profits for that day, but you may build a recurring customer base.
Maybe you post coupons on Facebook on specific days. Just need to tell people when they come to your window that discounts and specials are available on FB or twitter. Sorry… I am just another know-​it-​all. Still liked the pie.

So good. I had the chicken pot pie and everything about it was delectable. The crust, the chicken, the veggie and with the perfect amount of salt.
To top it all off the server there was exceptionally nice.

Oh my goodness, these are amazing! I had the lamb (which is sustainably sourced) and a chocolate chip cookie. Both were beyond compare. I got mine at the Broadway market on Capitol Hill. I will be looking for them next week for sure.

In my quest to try every food truck in the area, I find myself looking at 314 Pie, a blue truck with premade, ready to go personal sweet/​savory pies.
It’s simple, they have a selection of about 8 – 10 types, 5 savory, and 3 sweet, with a few seasonal/​limited edition ones to keep you coming back.
I had the Steak, Cheese and Mushroom one, which was the recommendation of the awesome food trucker worker. She briskly pulled one out of the baked goods display/​warmer in the truck and into a neat paper bag, without a miss-​step, a fork was stabbed, leaking out the smell of amazing meat filled goodness. Good gracious!
It was hot and delicious… I mean the meat was seasoned nicely, it was filled with flavor. Sure the pie itself isn’t that big, but when I got back to my building, and sat down, the smell made my team instantly hateful of me. This is one that you can eat fast, if you just need to eat. but if you take a moment to eat, bite by bite, you will greatly enjoy it. and the value behind it makes it worth the money, which was 8 bucks!
Yikes, but it’s worth it. They are either around Amazon or Microsoft, and they do catering. Recommendation, go there at least a few times, and find time to savor it.

Checked out the truck at our local Farmers Market. SO GLAD! Hubby chose the steak and I went with the Lamb. There were no crazy wasted fillers. A lot of meat and great flavors! we will definitely be making our way through the menu :)

The steak, mushroom, and cheese pie was outstanding on a cold rainy sunday! Hearty and piping hot, it was just what this hungry southerner needed!

I had a steak and mushroom pie at the lake city farmers market and it blew my mind!
The fella behind the counter was really friendly and knowledgeable about the pies and made great recommendations. I followed his advice and was welcomed with a steak and mushroom pie what was perfectly seasoned and balanced. From the crust to the filling it was out of this world satisfying my hunger while driving me toward gluttony wanting more due to its amazing taste and texture.
I will be back again, and again and again…

YUM. I stumbled on them at the Bellevue Crossroads Farmers Market. I was there just to get several flats of berries but told my 4 year old that we’d see if there was anything fun there to eat, for lunch. The first thing I spotted was 314 Pie — actually, I think I smelled them before I saw them, it was hard to ignore. (It smelled delicious.)
Well all I had to say was the word «pie» to my son, and he was in. He chose the steak and mushroom, I got the ground beef. Oh, it was all DELICIOUS and totally satisfying. The ground beef actually made me nostalgic for my grandomother’s goulash, of all things. Perfectly seasoned. And the steak in my son’s pie was perfectly done — it wasn’t too dry or chewy. It was like a delicious beef stew IN A PIE CRUST. (I mean, really — when you add crust of any sort to anything, it makes it that much better.) Yeah, they’re not cheap, but… ya know. If this is how you eat, you should expect it. Like when my husband asked me how much they were and I said, «Well, it’s handmade pies at a food truck at the farmer’s market…» He guessed a dollar more than they were.
I got a couple cold ones to take home for my husband. I got him the steak as well as the «lamb & stout.» He ate the lamb pie last night and loved it so much he asked me to send him the website, so he could check and see where their food truck would be during the work week. (Dear 314 Pie — Please make more regular stops at the MS campuses!)
I can’t wait to go back and try the chicken and a couple others.

Food Tried
— apple cinnamon pie ($ 5)
— chicken pot pie ($ 8)
The first time that 314 Pie came to the International District, they sold out so quickly that I could only order a dessert pie and eat it as an appetizer before I tucked into lunch at a nearby restaurant.
The next time someone mentioned going there, I jumped at the chance, not wanting to miss out again. In our group, we ordered the last lamb pie, which tells you how popular food trucks are in the ID (hint, hint, we want other trucks!). That time, I was lucky enough to snag a chicken pot pie, which I gladly tucked into at my desk, since trying to eat it while walking back to the office turned out to be quite difficult.
The key to a good pie, like a good building, is a strong foundation, in this case the crust. The pies from 314 have a moist body crust, with crumbly and flaky ceilings. They’re just the right proportion of crust to filling, and compliment the flavors perfectly – mellowing the sweetness of the apple pie, and balancing the saltiness of the chicken pie.
Next is fillings: in this case, both were quite wonderful. The apples were juicy and perfectly seasoned. The chicken – while unexpectedly shredded rather than cubed as in other pot pies I’ve had in the past – was moist, and balanced with fresh veggies.
Portion size is key too – making a personal size pie is an art since everyone has different appetites. For me, I shared the dessert pie, but ate the chicken pie all by myself. I wasn’t overfull, nor did I feel I had too much or too little for what I was eating – entrees should fill you perfectly, whereas desserts are better in half-​sizes.
I was very pleased with my entire 314 Pie experience, and will be glad to go try other pies in the future – I’m also pleased they’ve decided to come hang out with us in the ID, since we get food truck famines sometimes.

The truck stopped outside our work recently and we had got to see the menu before they arrived. I had eyed the chicken pot pie, but the beef and mushroom one looked good too. I ended up with the chicken pie and really glad I did. The pies are perfect for one person, a little pricey at $ 8, but I think well worth it as a rare treat. The chicken and veggies in the sauce were cooked & seasoned perfectly and the pie crust was to die for! That was really my favorite part! I could have eaten a large pie crust all by itself! It was so flaky and buttery and just yumm. Sorry, I could probably write a review on just the crust, haha. Everyone else who got pies raved about theirs, too. They even have pie fries for $ 1! I’d love for them to stop by again soon if they can :-)

«Today is an excellent day for pie,» I told myself at lunch. And I was sooo right.
314 Pie has fast become one of my new favorites on the Seattle food truck scene, for three reasons: they’re fast, they’re affordable, and most importantly, they’re delicious.
314 Pie typically offers 3 or 4 varieties of savory pies, a sweet pie, and «cinnamon pie fries,» a delightful concoction of cooked pie dough, cinnamon and sugar. Each is already made and ready to go — once you order your only wait is half a minute or so while they wrap it for you. Each pie is about 6 inches across, about the size of a typical pot pie, and once you hold it you can feel how warm and heavy it is, perfect for a cold day like today. My mouth is watering already.
I’ve tried the three meat pies — chicken, beef, and lamb — and enjoyed each for the rich, warm, satisfying filling and flaky, tasty crust. Each savory pie runs about $ 8. I find myself usually choosing the lamb, moist and tender, but the beef pie is a close second favorite. There is also a vegetable curry pie, which I haven’t tried… though I will someday. The sweet pies have ranged from pear to peach to today’s delicious caramel apple, complete with a crushed pecan crust, for $ 5. Oh my… amazing. The cinnamon pie fries are pretty good for $ 1, but if you really want to treat yourself, do go for the sweet pie… trust me.
End result: a satisfying lunch in the form of two pretty little pies, for $ 13. It may seem like only a little food at first, but I swear those little things are bigger on the inside — I enjoy every bite and finish my lunch feeling well-​fed.
Yes — it was a good day for pie. But isn’t it always?

My general rule is to visit a new truck twice before I review it. I was excited to see a pie truck hit the streets of Seattle.
The first time I visited 314 Pie was at Wine World. That day, the only pies they had were steak and onion ($ 8) and vegetable curry ($ 7). I had the steak and onion pie. The crust was light, flaky, and fantastic! It was a beautiful shade of golden brown. Unfortunately, the crust was the best thing about the pie. The filling was very bland. Also, the cuts of meat (see picture) had healthy portions of fat on it. I’m all for cooking with fat and even eating fat, however, I wasn’t expecting every piece to be like that.
The second time I visited the truck was yesterday at the 2^nd & Pike pod. Upon my arrival, I wondered why they did not have a line because Jemil’s Big Easy and The Grilled Cheese Experience had very long lines. The answer became clear very quickly. At 12:30 PM, after being open for about an hour and a half, the truck was again, down to only two different kinds of pies: steak and onion ($ 8) and chicken, bacon, and cheese ($ 8). I got the chicken, bacon, and cheese. As was my previous experience, the crust was very good. The filling was bland (again) and this time, very dry.
In the two times I’ve gone out of my way to visit the truck, I’ve had very little choices, and never had the option of getting a sweet pie.
Social media presence has been decent for a new truck. However, since a route is not set, there’s not a whole lot to say.
I’m disappointed because the men who own the truck really seem very nice. I asked when they thought they would stabilize production. I was told they are running 2 days a week and they hope to get up and running to 5 days a week after they figure out how many pies to make. The reality is that they are not making enough pies for 2 days a week so it’s hard for me to imagine that they will make enough for 5 days a week. I’m simply not that patient. I have upwards of 20 trucks to choose from on any given day, depending on the neighborhood I’m in. With a lackluster product and unreliable inventory, I’m probably going to pass from now on. Also, I can get a decent competitor’s product at the price point of $ 6.

I came here on their first day in SLU; by the time I made it to the front of the line (12:03 pm) they had run out of the Steak & Mushroom and Steak & Onion pies. A bit of a bummer, as the remainder (Lamb & Rosemary, and Chicken & Bacon) were not up to my taste preferences — but at the end of the list they did have a vegetarian offer of a Curry pie. So I tried that!
I’m glad I did, as the crust is nicely toothsome, a bit chewy, and flaky. The insides were a bit spicy-​hot, which just added to the savor.
If I were you, I’d come early as they have QUITE the line! And I hope they make more pies for day two :)
Most pies were $ 8, and I look forward to trying the $ 2 chocolate chip cookie someday… just not hungry enough for both today!
