7. The Pie Gourmet

For pies that compete with Grandma’s: Anyone who has made a pie from scratch knows that a good crust takes time. So when you don’t have all day to fulfill a craving for buttery, flaky dough and fresh fruit fillings, consider stopping by The Pie Gourmet in Vienna for a quick fix to your pie itch. Here you’ll find all the homemade flavors. Try the Apple-Peach featuring locally grown pink lady apples and Georgia peaches, or go for the classic cherry pie filled with plump and tart red cherries under a flaky golden-lattice crust.

507 Maple Ave., Vienna (near the intersection of Maple and Nutley)
