There's No Joy Like a Chocolate Cream Pie From Petee's Pie | Bon Appétit
"A bright, sunny Manhattan café devoted to fruit- and custard-filled pies, beloved for its comforting, butter-scented baking and an array of slices that reliably please. The menu ranges from classic apple crumb, banana cream, pumpkin, and key lime to fruit crumbs like sour cherry and blueberry, and richer offerings such as black bottom almond chess and salty chocolate chess. The chocolate cream pie—featuring a tender buttery crust, silky rich chocolate pudding, and sky-high whipped cream—is a standout and a personal favorite, remembered as the first dessert shared by the reviewer and their partner. The shop is run by owner and head baker Petra Paredez and a talented team, and its pies are presented as perfect for everyday treats, celebrations like Friendsgiving and picnics, or comforting rewards after a bad day; the reviewer knows the flavors intimately and enjoys recommending slices to friends." - ByEsra Erol
