Great news for Church Hill! And thus the alliance coalesces…
It’s dangerous making comments about “open pie” on the Hill. I am running out there now.
This is one of the happiest food days of my life.
Looks great inside. How was the first day? Love the blue door.
They were sold out by 7:20 p.m. I went, there was a sign on the door ‘sorry sold out, see you tomorrow at 10’.
Josh – What alliance?
There’s a joke going around about a Church Hill Bakery Alliance, with all this good stuff opening up.
I’ve also heard reference to the new Church Hill Bakery District 🙂
Headed over for lunch! Looking forward to PIE!
This is great news for us on the Hill. Maybe not so great for my waistline though? 🙂 Can’t wait to try both of our new eateries!
Proper Pie has posted on Facebook that they are shortening their hours to noon to 6 p.m.on Wednesday through Sunday, just for now until they get in gear. No preorders for now, either. Still closed Monday and Tuesday.
Great for business, bad for residential parking. Just glad that both will be closed by 9-pm. Still have to apply for that handicap space in front of the house.
Anyone know if they make butter vs lard crust? Wondering if there’s anything a dairy free gal can eat…
Either way, happy to see them in our neighborhood!
Can’t wait to get by and try them out!
Kristin, one of the pies choices at lunch today was vegan, so you are good to go. Vegan soup option today, too. I had the curry-lentil pie for lunch and it was great!
Is there a menu of sorts to post?
Damn these are good! I’m counting down the hours until lunch tomorrow…
Well the hour change did not take long. The business is already on the path to closing its doors. Reducing the hours from 8:00pm to 6:00pm simply means working people that can actually afford to buy the pies will not be able to patronize this establishment unless it is the weekend. I have to be at work beofre they open, and now they are closed before I get home. How sad.
Not sure who thought thouse start and end times were a good idea, but I am not sure how one sells enough product to be profitable when the store is closed when the neighborhood customers are actually around.
It is interesting that you can spin unpredicted overwhelming success and Proper’s moves to keep up with demand and quality as being on the path to failure.
I’m guessing that the folks at Proper Pie have a good idea of when they have been selling their goods, actually.
It is sad that you don’t get to try their pies, because they are delicious. Perhaps you can get by on the weekend?
I suspected their reduced hours are only temporary until they can gage the demand of their products. I think it’s a great idea and they’ve managed to sell out almost every evening I imagine, or at least close to it. I also work during these hours but I intend to patronage the bakery on the weekends. I doubt these new hours will sink their business.
I’ve been by twice, both times around 3 pm, when you might expect a restaurant to be almost empty. Both times, Proper Pie was packed, and people seemed to be loving the pies! I think right now they are just trying to figure out how to make enough pies to meet a huge demand.
#17 – Check out their Facebook page, the temporary time change is all spelled out there.
I’m eating a reheated vegan lentil and spinach pie for lunch at my job and it is so delicious! I was lucky to pick it up last night a few minutes after 6 last night, but will be glad when PP is open till 7 or 8 so that I can reliably get pie after work. So delicious!
heading over there in a few minutes for my first time, so stoked!
wish they were open later! I don’t even get off of work until 7! 🙁
