Dangerously Delicious Pies

I love this place! Unique, tasty food — and a friendly staff! I don’t even really like pie that much, but I loved the options here.
I ended up choosing the Chicken Pot Pie savory slice ($ 7.50). It came with a side salad, which I found to be a nice surprise. It’s a filling meal — so I think the price was fair! My only complaint was that the lettuce was really wilted so I couldn’t really eat it, but I assume that’s not normal.
I’d definitely recommend ordering online so you have a tasty appetizer/​meal or dessert to bring to your next party!

Smog pie is my favorite. We order it Killer ESP. It’s delicious:
The good:
1. SMOG pie. Steak, Mushroom, Onion, Gruyère. Tastes like a beef stroganoff. Yum.
2. Baltimore Bomb. It had a bit of an éclair flavor. Delicious.
the Average:
1. customer service. She was clearly bored. But not mean. Just not enthused.
2. the décor. Maybe she didn’t want the lights on. It was just sorta a bummer (no music, not very clean, rather dark) so we sat outside. The quietness and the small microwave dinging after cooking just added to the «eh» feeling. Somehow hearing a microwave cook our food, just wasn’t adding to the ambience.
3. Pumpkin pie had more of a sweet potato flavor. And it tastes homemade. My husband liked it, I just prefer my pumpkin pie to have a different flavor and texture leaning. It just wasn’t exciting and I actually let my husband finish my half which is incredibly odd for me and pumpkin pie.
The not so great:
1. The actual crust rim on the pie. Too hard, bulky and bland. I have had a ton of their pies and every damn time I can’t figure out if I should eat that part, but for the price, I do.
2. They didn’t have that much of a selection and actually Killer ESP coffee had about the same size of a selection of their pies. I would have thought that since I was in the main location they would have more options. So odd.
I will keep having their pie on occasion at ESP since we adore the SMOG pie. But I am more curious now about other pie places.

Delicious but too pricy for a slice of pie.
I dropped by when strolling with a friend and we were looking for a place to sit and get some drinks. It was packed! The lines were long and wasn’t very organized.
I ordered a slice of the BBQ pork pie and I must say it was scrumptious. The meat was tender and saucy, and the crust was flaky and buttery! I loved every single bite of it, and definitely wanted a second slice when I was done.
However, $ 7.50 for a slice of pie was just too much for me. I understand there is meat in there and it was cooked for a long time, I just felt like with that same amount I could probably get a whole pie of some sorts at other places. Not sure if I would go back, but worth a try!

A great lunch place in the area. Awesome for pick up, but they also have little table outside. Their pies are delicious, warm and filling; plus come with a little salad. Service is friendly and fast. I haven’t tried a dessert one yet, but will definitely go for one in the winter.

Slightly too expensive, but solidly good pies. I got the Baltimore Bomb (or something similar to that name) that was a marbled cookie-​type pie. Very good, and on a hot day I asked for a cold slice. They do heat it up for you, which is a perk. :)
The pie was definitely sweet, and by the end it was almost too decadent, but when you get a marbled one, it’s almost impossible for that to not happen, so by any standard it’s a tasty place for pies.
I’d recommend the apple and pecan pies, since it seems those were everyone’s favorites. Next time in DC, I’ll make sure to get one or the other!

The chicken pot pie is like Thanksgiving in a pie crust. The SMOG is the steak bomb dignity. And the goat cheese and spinach is so fluffy it is beyond words. And those are just the savory pies! This little quaint shop is worth the find! Run don’t walk!!!

You probably wouldn’t even know this place exists unless you’re looking for it. It’s off to the side of the main street… plus there is construction near the building so most people wouldn’t go down that side of the street. I ordered the Ratatouille pie and the peanut butter and chocolate chess.
The ratatouille pie was DELICIOUS. VERY FLAVORFUL. The veggies were cooked perfectly. The crust was perfect and golden brown. First time having it but I think it may be my favorite.
The peanut butter and chocolate chess was okay. The filling is awesome. Very smooth… the first taste is the peanut butter. If you’ve had freshly ground peanut butter, it’s smooth like that with a strong flavor but it blends nicely with the chocolate. As for the crust, I personally don’t like chess cookies (what the pie crust is made off). It’s just a strange texture and flavor to me that would have been better suited with a regular crust OR oreo cookies. That would be AWESOME peanut butter and chocolate oreo pie. But if I could just other the filling, I would lol. If you like chess cookies, you will like this pie.

I had the peanut butter chess pie: be ready for meal when you eat it! It is delicious, but if I hadn’t gotten it a la mode it would had been way too rich for me — and I love these flavors. My friend got a slice of Baltimore Bomb and it was a soft gooey very sugar pie. Everything tasted good, the ambiance was nice, and having good pie while waiting for a show to start at the nearby Rock & Roll hotel.
For both pies– definitely get them heated and a la mode!

I usually go to their food truck but they weren’t out yesterday. I had a craving so I took it upon my lazy self to walk the three blocks over to their I Street branch. I’ve been to their H Street location and like that one more but this one does what I think it means to do. Grab and go. There’s pretty much no seating unless you’re at the corner by the window but the pies are still pretty kick butt. If you like their pies then know you’re getting the same quality. As long as you understand that this isn’t really a sit down location (should go to the H Street venue for that) then it’s perfect. Get the S.M.O.G.

I love the hot rod — so fatty and cheesy and buttery and delicious! Whenever the cart is by my work, I make it a point to go.

Love to eat pie! Favorite is the SMOG! Quiches are good too. Strawberry rhubarb pie is so good! Staff is friendly and give good recommendations. Very crisp salad w/​the savory pies and quiches. Don’t forget to add ice cream on the sweet pies for $ 1 extra. Get the frequent Pie-​r card. Buy 9 slices, get 1 free.

Meh! OK, I went there for a simple slice of apple pie and was so underwhelmed with my $ 7 slice that lacked flavor. If you are used to homemade pies then this is just an overpriced hip place to say you went to for just ordinary pie. It’s a great profit model but not very tasty.

This is a cute little shop on an outlying street of Chinatown-​Gallery Place (right next to TD Bank). There isn’t much seating and can get awkwardly tight when there are more than 8 people. But it’s a PIE shop! OMG… move aside cupcake, pie is taking over! DD offers a rotating list of sweet pies, savory pies, and quiche.
I had the Baltimore Bomb. Think syrup drenched flan, baked on a pie crust and topped with chocolate syrup. A slice after tax came out to $ 7.15. Yikes. The pie was delicious. It was moist, flaky, and had interesting flavors, but it was way way too sweet for me to indulge in on a regular basis. I shared half the pie with a co-​worker and could only eat half of my half before the sugar rushed to my head. If you’re looking for a G rated intoxication, you got it.
Overall, a fun edition to the neighborhood and something different to do with friends, besides hitting a bar.

Have you ever taken a bite of something so good, that the remainder of the meal you barely come up for a breath of air. Well, that is how my husband and I ate… more like devoured… our slices of pie at Dangerously Delicious Pies. WOW! I hoped we would like the pies, and after being fans of The Pie Man on Food Network Star, this was a must stop on our vacation in DC. Luckily I was not disappointed, even more so it was even better than we hoped.
I tried the Winterberry, which was a mix of berries and peaches in just sweet enough sauce, surrounded by home baked crust with a flaky, buttery texture. It was pastry heaven, and warmed with a scoop of vanilla ice-​cream on top was the way to go (as recommended by the helpful guy behind the counter). I attacked like a starving hyena and didn’t look back. It was truly that good.
My husband had the Pancake Pie and he loved his just as much. I could tell by the way he only offered me one stingy sample bite, and then went to town on his slice before I could as for another. Who cares though, mine was what I wanted anyhow!
We will be back, and most likely this will be our first stop on our next visit to DC. Like dump the bags in the hotel and run to the Metro to find DDP. Must go.
Also, the place is tiny, but very cool. Rustic vibe, small amount of bar seating at the window, cool wagon spoke chandelier and a fun soundtrack playing. The guy working the counter was friendly and eager to answer questions and make recommendations. Had a great experience on that front as well. He even told us about some other local spots to check out, as that night was our anniversary. Thanks to the guy working here around 2:00pm on Friday February 27^th, you were a great part of our 5^th anniversary.

It’s really not bad. I was more impressed by the chocolate pecan than this much-​hyped Baltimore Bomb, but both were quite tasty and large chunks of pie. I personally prefer a bit more caramel and less chess in my pecan, but willing to call that a question of style.
That said, I don’t think I’m rushing back. I don’t care how good the pie is, it’s pie. You cannot justify $ 7 per slice unless someone is going to perform sexual favors before I eat it. (The register guy was cute, I suppose, but not my type.) Delicious it was, but not sufficiently dangerous to merit that kind of splurge.

Okay so I love this place. These pies are dangerous for your calorie count so if eating these pies is wrong I don’t want to be right!

Ok, but not dangerously delicious.
For the price, I would have expected something more. Better than a grocery store, but pretty average pies.

Solid lunch spot! Savory pies are pretty good, but nothing really special. Sweet pies are just okay, taste like store brought pies. Not really a lot of options, depends on what they have on available the day of, so just because its on the menu doesn’t mean you’ll be able to get it, unless you buy a whole pie.

I can’t believe the negative reviews! If these people haven’t had the Baltimore Bomb (and based off their reviews, it seems they haven’t), then they have been doing Dangerously Delicious Pies all wrong! I’ve had a few of their pies now, and the Baltimore Bomb is the best thing on the menu. Honestly, all other pies you can get elsewhere. Baltimore Bomb is unique to Dangerously Delicious Pies, and will be unique to your life, I promise! It is one of my all time favorite pies.
I must warn, the restaurant is relatively small and they often run out of pies by the end of the day. Also, I have yet to try their savory pies.

Look twice next to the bank and stop by for some awesome pie– better dessert than any other place nearby! If you eat it, you know it’s true, don’t you?
The beautiful selection may have already been baked, but a moment’s wait is all it takes to warm up that pie to make your yeasts buds quake. With what but delight at the sight and each bit of pie in DC crafted so deliciously that you’ll be back again either here or another location… It’s just a matter of when.
The fruit in fruit pies are filled with fruit pieces of generous size, not mushy undefined shapes like some other guys. These slices you can really sink your teeth into, hearty, filling, home-​style, and if savory, can come with a mesclun salad for you.
Sweet berry pie a forever favorite to spy– just eat it quickly before I take it for me.
