Strawberry Rhubarb Pie (Vanilla Ice Cream)
Crust: 8/10; clearly made in-house by the irregularity of the crust shape and design (the full pies are brought out from the kitchen and placed in a display case). Crunchy and buttery while absorbing the ice cream quite well.
Ice Cream: 9/10; high praise for the humble vanilla, but the ice cream is also made in-house and espoused that quality you can only achieve from small, local ice cream joints. Creamy and dense enough to eat with a fork outdoors in moderate heat.
Filling: 10/10; among the best filling ever to grace the surface of my tastebuds. Rhubarb has a flavor unique to the world of pie, and this pie
Presentation: 6/10; I had to piece together the broken slice on the provided Dixie plate for the attached photo, but it seems a minor complaint.
Taste: 8/10; solid pie all around and as good or better than I could have made it myself. They don’t call themselves ‘The Pie Place’ for nothing.
Overall: 41/50; 4 slices – Come for the pie and ice cream, stay for the cute Eastern European staffers.
