"Petra “Petee” Paradez’s pies don’t just taste amazing—they’re made with amazing ingredients, like seasonal local produce, organic flour, grass-fed butter, and natural fair-trade sweeteners. Those with dietary restrictions can also enjoy: their gluten-free and vegan options are just as delicious. Order a full pie for a special occasion, or stop by the Delancey Street storefront for a single slice—they’re open until 1am on weekends, making it the perfect pit stop on your way to the bars." - Passerbuys
"One peek into this rustic little bakery and you can tell that all the pies are made with love. We recently celebrated a team member's birthday with a magically delectable Salty Chocolate Chess cake. Be sure to ask about the gluten-free options available. We'd also suggest stepping in to try samples of all the pies they make as they offer the option to mix slices!" - Barrel
"Specializes in miniature pie packs (sets of 4 to 12) for when you don’t want to commit to a full pie, with flavors like brown butter honey pecan and chocolate chess." - Monica Burton
"This celebrated pie shop with locations at Delancey, Hell’s Kitchen, and Clinton Hill will offer a dozen of their best flavors for Thanksgiving, including apple, pumpkin, brown-butter honey pecan, and a distinctive black bottom almond chess, flavored with amaretto with a subtle chocolate ganache base well-balanced with the sweet chess filling. Staff favorite is the sweet potato pie, which distinguishes itself with a roasted, molasses-like flavor. Standard pies are $40. Six-inch varieties, available for six flavors, are $18 and available for pickup at all three locations. Petee’s extensive standard menu will also be available on very limited, space-permitting at their locations during the week of Thanksgiving." - Eater Staff
"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
