But where do you find Houston's best pies? Whether you're looking for a sophisticated tart in a swanky setting or a simple lemon meringue from a cozy diner, Space City offers a bevy of options that can satisfy your hankering for the perfect slice. Perhaps more importantly, many of these shops offer whole pies that you can take home for when the inevitable rebound craving strikes.

It's impossible to shout out every single outstanding pie in Houston, but this baker's dozen of pie-focused shops and restaurant offerings represents the cream of the crop. Go forth, and gorge yourself on the city's best pies.

It's technically a lemon meringue tart, but who cares? Chef/owner Levi Rollins uses only fresh lemon juice and handcraft crust to create this not-too-sour-not-too-sweet delight that looks almost too good to eat – almost.

Ritual

A dessert as dense and decadent as Ritual's dark chocolate pie should come with a warning label. 85% dark Callebaut cacao, burnt housemade marshmallows drenched in candied bourbon syrup, Luxardo cherries, and a buttery graham cracker crust add up to a ridiculously rich treat.

Flying Saucer Pie Co.

Not to be confused with the beer emporium of a similar name, head to this grab and go establishment for the best strawberry pie this side of 610. Whole berries come surrounded in a sweet filling and topped with whipped cream on a buttery crust. Strawberry Shortcake would be so jealous.

Revival Market

As with everything at this nose-to-tail butcher shop, nothing goes to waste, and the buttermilk & whey pie is proof. This slice of goodness brilliantly utilizes a byproduct of making cheese that is rich and dreamy. Eat this seasonal treat from pastry chef Alyssa Dole while you can.

Underbelly

Pastry chef Victoria Dearmond’s version of the 1960s classic (inspired by a recipe in Hillbilly Cookin) combines cane vinegar and double strength apple cider vinegar in the filling topped with salt brittle – a nod to salt and vinegar style potato chips. It’s the most popular dessert on the menu and as such has never left.

What could be better than Belgian dark chocolate curd blended with orange zest, set in a brown butter crust and topped with vanilla mascarpone? Not much, that’s what. This treat may be pint-sized but the flavor factor is off the charts.

Chef Danny Trace gathers Louisiana apples, stews them in NOLA Spice Rum, holiday aromatics, Imperial brown sugar and Poirier’s Cane Syrup and pours the whole shebang into a cheddar cheese crust topped with Tabasco pecan brittle and sea salted caramel ice cream.

A perfectly portioned shortbread crust cradles a rich fudgy filling enhanced by crunchy hazelnuts and tempered by slightly tart crème fraiche.

There’s a reason why the Bayou Goo pie is a consistent top seller, lots of reasons in fact. A pie shell is layered with sweet cream cheese filled with chopped pecans, vanilla and chocolate custard, and topped with whipped cream, powdered sugar, and chocolate shavings.
