In case you haven’t already figured it out, I’m quite the quirky gal. And this quality rings most true when it comes to my taste in desserts and pastries. I’m not a big fan of frosting, icing, glaze, fruit fillings, pie crust…the list goes on. Of course,  this doesn’t stop me from divulging in these decadent treats.

After all, as a self-proclaimed foodie, it is my responsibility to give everything a fair shot . And every once in a while, I stumble upon one-of-a-kind gems like the tasty treats from A la Mode Pies.

A la Mode Pies is a Seattle-based online gourmet pie service, which launched earlier this month. Owner Chris Porter makes each pie from scratch and delivers them himself. Yeah, I’m thinking the same thing: how the hell does he do it?!

This week, I tried 4 flavors from the Petite Pie Pack: Key Lime, Chocolate Cream w/ Pretzel Crust, Blue Hawaiian, and Marionberry & Hazelnut. First of all, presentation alone, these pies are off the heezy! You could really see all the time, effort and love that went into each pie.

With all the bitchin’ and moanin’ I do about pies (mainly pie crust), I have to admit that I do love me a cream pie. So it came as no surprise that my favorite in the bunch was the key lime pie. Silky smooth filling paired with a rich, buttery graham cracker crust (just like the kind in my favorite pumpkin dessert) – yeah, I’m pretty sure the clouds in heaven are made of this stuff! I also really enjoyed the chocolate cream pie, which is made with a pretzel crust, offering a pleasant sweet-n-salty flavor.

Next on my list to try: A la Mode’s signature LolliPies. These miniature pies-on-a-stick come in 3 flavors (Apple Cinnamon, Cherries Jubilee, Blue Hawaiian) and are sold by the dozen for $35. For more information on pie flavors and pricing, check out the menu on A la Mode Pies’ website.
