It's been over a year that I've been wanting to try this next restaurant - I saw the "coming soon" sign when I visited Mardi Gras on Madison and knew I needed to go. But time passes and I get forgetful - but finally - I headed to...
O Pie O! They serve sweet and savory pies in addition to wine, beer and sides.
There are also a list of daily specials - one of which was the Honey Vinegar sweet pie that I had heard so much about.
My friend Susie went for a special and got the ham, roasted pepper and cheddar pocket with gazpacho as well as a strawberry frangiepane pocket. The pocket pie and soup combo runs for $10 and the sweet pocket pie was $5. They served the pie + soup with a side of pickled vegetables. Susie said the gazpacho was very hearty and the pocket pie was tasty - with a great crust.
This was good but not great. I would have liked it warmer and there was a lot going on but it wasn't outstanding. Frankly my mom's quiche is better - of course - she makes a mean quiche.
For the side I ordered the Carolina Slaw - which had a sweet vinegar base w/ cabbage, red peppers, carrots, celery seed, onion and sells for $5 when not featured with a pie.
Why Should You Go? Well I think it's worth a try and most people like it. I probably won't be back. My lunch and pie was $15 - before drink and tip - that's pretty steep for pie. I remember back in the day of Tom's Pot Pies how amazing that was and I was hoping for that.
