Delicious Takeout Pies

You can probably tell I’m quite partial to savory pies from my previous posts. Like the time I made sweet and savory apple tarts, pork wellington & empanadas. It’s always fun to bake pies at home, but I love buying delicious, hot savory pies from an excellent pie shop. So I was really excited to order some pies for myself and my family recently from Pop Pie Co.

There are currently two Pop Pie locations in Southern California and the one I went to is a tiny shop located in a busy shopping center in Orange county. This same space was occupied by another great pie shop, Pie Not and I used to love their savory pies, but unfortunately they decided to close couple of years ago. When I found out that another pie shop opened in the same space, I was so happy because it’s pretty hard to find a savory pie shop, especially a good one where I live.

I always like to try variety of pies, so on this occasion, I picked out:

  • Steak & Ale
  • Green Hog & Cheese
  • Roasted Veggies & Yellow Curry
  • Ham, Bacon, Chive & Cheese Quiche

After tasting mouthful of everything, I am happy to report all the pies are flaky, buttery deliciousness. Each pie is also stuffed with flavor rich fillings too. My family’s favorite is the Green Hog & Cheese, which is like eating pork chile verde with cheese in a pie!

I have to say my favorite is the Roasted Veggies & Yellow Curry. Veggie mixture has wonderful, creamy, full curry flavor and not just a “hint” of curry. If a dish says it has curry, then I want mouthful of curry flavor and this one does! Their refreshing, lemony, crunchy kale slaw also is a must have with their tasty pies and in fact it’s so nice that they have fresh veggie dish on the menu.

In case you’re more of a sweet pie person, they have selection of sweet pies and even ice cream. Pop Pie Co has great menu online and it’s definitely worth trying.

I also have to talk about my tableware that I used for this post. This blog is about food and tableware after all. My pink Felicity plate from Burleigh Pottery was perfect for this cozy, cute setting!. I just hope Burleigh will some day bring back this color from retirement. I’m sure there are many disappointed fans out there, including myself who didn’t get to buy the entire pink Felicity collection.
