Easy pickup for a Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie though ordering online was a bit mysterious (couldn't choose the pickup time but I had free time conveniently). The pie itself was decadent and fudgy almost and hints of bourbon were appreciated. I will also note that it is very sturdy - I biked back home with the pie in the basket and rode over a couple of severe potholes yet the pie was completely unscathed. I will be ordering from here again! read more

Lots to like at Petsi Pies. They offer a range of sweets from traditional fruit pies to individual pastries. I've tried a number of their offerings and have to say their scones are probably the best item on the menu. They often run out by 12pm, so you have to get there early to snag some. Their pies are good too, but they are fairly pricy ($25+ for a large pie) and not that distinguishable from a pie you can get at your local grocery store. Don't get me wrong, they're usually better, but only marginally. The scones, though, are heavenly. Not too sweet, very light, and rich with flavor. In terms of the pies, the traditional Pecan was by far the best we tried. Chocolate Pecan was okay, and mixed berry was our least facorite pie we had. I also had the double baked almond bread and was amazed. It isn't always available, but when it is make sure to try that too. Petsi is definitely a local favorite, so lines can get long. Try to call in advance if you know what you want. Parking can also be a hassle with limited street parking available. That being said, get a scone! read more

Dear owner Renee M., today, I joined over 150 people to each wait an hour-to-ninety minutes in the cold for our PRE-ordered Thanksgiving pies. We were given times to pick up the pies - a bad joke. Some pies were simply out. People waited in line, made it to the front, and were told to RETURN later the day. Staff came out sporadically to say what was still out, and to refuse exchanges for available pies. No apologies whatsoever were forthcoming. Through your straighforward, old-fashioned incompetence, you caused not-inconsiderable inconvenience for literally hundreds of people from across metro Boston on the day before Thanksgiving. I'd suggest you do better, but I doubt you're listening over the sound of $$$. You're a disgrace. Happy Thanksgiving. read more

Oh my goodness! What can I say that with accurately describe Petsi's? this tiny little bakery is like dying and going to the place in heaven where all the amazing baking grandmas live. The pies, both sweet and savory, or just the start. They come in three sizes but who wants a small one when you can have a large one? Then there is the pastry counter with a mind blowing selection. on one day you may find apple cake, Cape Breton apple cake, peanut butter rice crispy treats, twice baked brioche, croissants, five kinds of cookies, various muffins and sweet breads, and the list goes on. In addition you can get a nice coffee or tea to help wash down all the treats you can't pass up.I have always been picky about pies and rarely find one that I think is better than I can do at home (modest, I know!) but Petsi is hands down the reigning queen of pies! read more

I just moved to the area and was told by many people that I needed to make a stop at Petsi Pies ASAP. I'm so glad I did because it was delicious.. but sad because now I feel like my wallet and diet will suffer haha When you walk in, you are created by a very small, but cute counter with the day's servings displayed. There is also a chalkboard of pies and slices available for that day on the right hand wall. The man that greeted us was very kind and quirky, making us all laugh while we decided what to order. I ordered the brown butter pecan pie a la mode (Toscanini's vanilla ice cream) and it was AMAZING. I love ice cream and also heard that Toscanini's was amazing, so I knew this was a match made in heaven. The pecan filling was so delicious, not too dense, but not too sweet. The crust was so flaky and flavorful.. the textbook perfect crust texture. I can't wait to come back and try out the muffins and scones. A definite try if you're in the area and craving something sweet! read more

*Update*: I contacted the owner about my missing Chocolate Bourbon Pecan pie and she was very responsive and ultimately delivered the pie to my home today. I am grateful for the customer service to make right the problem from this weekend. I would recommend against ordering around the holidays though because it seems hectic and unpredictable. My guess is that it's reliable to order online if it's not holiday season and I would consider going there again when it's not so hectic. The pies themselves are worth it especially this specific flavor. Also, I don't think 24 hrs for pickup is how they operate, I think you should pick up that day if you want to avoid surprises. read more

I have to say that I am not a huge pie lover. I like a nice balance of sweet and savory and I never really had an amazing pie experience. I used to get one of those McDonalds apple pies once in a while to resolve my pie cravings. But I came back to Petsi, for the second time, to get another small pies. I was craving for chocolate..and I remembered how amazing their brown butter pecan pie is. This time, I also got bourbon chocolate pecan pie as well... Inside of the pie is almost like a soft chocolate brownie, and it is not too sweet. Just the right amount of butter, chocolate and pecan and I can't ask for anything better. I can't wait to try more! read more

I got there right at opening at there was already a line behind me so I believe they run out of pies fast. This time we tried to sweet pea ricotta artichoke savory pie and the key lime. The savory pie was yummy and a nice different kind of pie to try. The key lime was delicious!! read more

I heard so many good things about Petsi Pie so I decided to purchase 4 pies since I come from a long way to get there. I got the Apple, Blueberry, Cherry and Chocolate Bourbon Pecan pies. I couldn't wait to eat my pies. I got home opened the apple pie box and it fell on the floor. 5 minute rule...picked it up and the crust didn't even break. I tried to cut a small piece to eat and that crust was so hard that I cut through the plate. Once cut, there was more crust than pie filling and gthat was true for all of them. The blueberry design on top of the pie was gelatin. The only one that made a difference was ther chocolate bourbob one. My pies were not fresh at all and frankly and very disappointed. Don't plan on going back. read more

This is THE place for pies for any occasion. I buy them for birthdays or holidays. I ordered three for thanksgiving last year. (Pre Order early -- they sell out). Every flavor is so delicious. My boyfriend is from Florida and they do one of the best key lime pies he has ever had. Also the pecan, the apple crumble, everything here is just so so YUM. read more

I had been wanting to go to Petsie Pies for a long time but don't really pass by it often, so I used a family birthday as an excuse to make the trip over. I love that they have several different sizes to choose from so that you can get just the right amount of pie for your needs. I went with the biggest size of Mississippi Mud Pie and it was a great decision. Super decadent and chocolatey, and perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I would love to come back and try some of the other flavors- they all looked amazing. read more

Wait! I know I've been here! I've even posted pictures. But why can't I find a review to update? Great, now I can't even remember what I had tried on that long ago visit! Well, anyways, this recent stop was for a friend who wanted to pick up a pie as a hostess gift for dinner. Ice cream was then easily picked up for a la mode at the neighboring Shaw's. As for me, this spot, though tempting, is just not within easy luring distance of my home nor of my regular travels. It is a small bakery, so it is more for the take-out set, which was just fine for this visit. As a matter of fact, we had called them to see if there were any pies left in the afternoon hours, and were told yes, but that they would be closing shortly. Oh no! But they were kind enough to tell us that we could just knock if their doors were locked since we were already on our way after discovering that their newest alcove on Cambridge St. was not only already closed, but had completely run out of pies. My friend opted for the blueberry pie, though she commented that the mixed berry pie here was also very good. We each took home a honey & date scone, and we dug straight into her molasses ginger cookie - thick & yummy! The scone, I shared the next day, and it earned the hearty approval of two more youthful diners. read more

Four words.... BOURBON CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE. I never knew I needed this in my life until I tried it here. I have been wanting to try this spot out for a while and it did not disappoint. The bourbon chocolate pecan pie tasted chocolate-y and super nutty. The pie crust is SO good. I never had anything like it before. My friend ordered the mixed berry pie and it blew my mind. The crumb topping was so perfect I don't even know how to describe it. I usually find pies to be boring after a few bites but I literally could not stop eating it. I NEED to try their other pies...particularly the apple pie and the spinach & ricotta pie. I'll craving this for days! read more

One of the best pie shops all around! Love the pies - they are however quite pricy $8 for a small pie and $16 for a medium size pie...

Chaos. Utter chaos. I call and get to their store less than 10 min. They had nothing that they me on the phone. Extremely rude and unprofessional. Been going her for over 20 years and each year gets a little more incompetent. No more. read more

AMAZING PIES AND DESSERTS! Went a little overboard and got a variety of pies and treats. All were fantastic, but I would highly highly recommend the chocolate bourbon pecan pie and the bacon cheddar scone!! The scone was particularly a standout, I hadn't expected to enjoy it so much (I'm usually not a savory scone person?). The small size pies are adorable and perfect for 2 people to share (or 1 person to indulge!). The staff was so nice and helpful. I'll definitely be back. read more

We had ordered the cinnamon rolls, lemon scone, blueberry scone and apple pie. The cinnamon rolls were incredible and the frosting delicious! They offer a nice small size 5" pie which is just the right size to enjoy a treat and not overdo it :) The pie was very delicious. Tomorrow we have the scones and I am certain they won't disappoint. read more

When you walk into Petsi Pies, take a deep breath in, in fact, take two. SMELLS AMAZING!! Even before looking at the array of sweet and savory goods, I just wanted to smell the whole store first! Cute little store in Somerville, has maybe 2 tables and a few chairs. Best for to-go orders. It was a tough choice to choose among all the enticing choices. Asked for some of the most popular items and got: *Chocolate whoopie pie cupcake: Inside has whipped cream, and surprisingly not too sweet. The chocolate frosting is to die for. Dinosaur really liked this and wanted more, but I took the last bite ooooops. *Apple coffee cake: I think that's what its called? MY FAV out of the three items. Real bits of apple, yummm! Perfect with good ole Americano. *Walnut Brownie: ugh so delicious, I cannot believe I finished this in three bites. Not too sweet and good chunks of walnuts dispersed in this guy. Portions are a wee bit small, but that's ok. I'm just greedy when it comes to sweets. Def will be back to try the mudslide pie - looked amazing! read more

Petsi Pies catered dessert for our wedding and it was an absolute hit! We got full sized Mississippi Mudd pies, brown butter pecan, and cherry crumb, and small size (cutie) blueberry. They were all delicious; everybody went back for more and we didn't have any left at the end of the night. Professional and helpful staff for setting up the catering order, and they even set us up with a tasting beforehand! Highly recommended. read more

Extremely nice people, making extremely good-tasting food.

This place is well known for their pies (and while their pies are INCREDIBLE, that is not what I am covering in this review). Instead, spend some time the next time you go into Petsi Pies for their pastries and other baked goods. I could eat one of their lemon scones every morning for breakfast for a month and still not get sick of them. And their almond brioche: better than any almond croissant I've found elsewhere in the Boston area. Their cupcakes are to die for. My spouse loves their cookies. I mourn the loss of Petsi's other locations (Putnam Ave, Cambridge St, and Tupelo in Inman Square). Putnam Ave was a favourite of mine, as there was no shortage of seating - and I liked their egg sandwiches (at breakfast) and lunch sandwiches (midday). I just have to hope that Petsi can keep the business going with just one location. read more

I was a regular at their other location in Cambridge before it closed, so I was eager to go visit their remaining shop. I came pretty late in the day, so it's understandable that they didn't have a lot of variety left (not a big deal to me). Got a blueberry pie (their sizes are portioned really well, and in my opinion a little pricey but nothing crazy), which was one of the last ones left. An issue I've had with their pies in the past is that the crust has always been EXTREMELY thick. That's still the case with the one that I got. The filling is well balanced, not too thick or sweet which is great. I haven't tried ordering from them before, but that's something I'm looking forward to since they have some good seasonal options. read more

The Cherry and Bourbon pecan pie is my favorite! We usually get a large and a few small pies so we can freeze some for later since we don't live close! Soooo good! read more

Petsi pulls off what other bake shops, for some odd reason, do not: it actually smells like an amazing bakery. Floored by fragrant cinnamons, robust fruits, smokey burnt sugars and syrupy sweet berries, you can't stay in the wee space for longer than it takes to order a mini salted caramel apple pie ($7) and a massive triple berry scone ($2). The crust is perfect and filings are ample, but consider getting the medium pie - twice the price with three times the goodness of the mini. Don't face plant it, boss; pie's always better the next day. The berry-laden beast, with its big, crumbly majesty, took Gold in the 2011 SconeOff. And when the goods are so loaded with rich flavors, it's tough not to. What can I say? Southern tastes mean butter and butter makes it better, so whether it be the Magic Bar (pretzels, butterscotch, chocolate chips, coconut, oats, caramel and everything else that makes air worth breathing) or one of these highly talked-about cupcakes, I can't wait for my next excuse to go see Petsi. read more

We sampled their decadent Mississippi mud pie at Tupelo and have been meaning to come back. We weren't disappointed :). The whoopie cupcake and the red velvet cupcakes were moist and delicious much better and less expensive than the boutique cupcake joints that are sprouting up everywhere. And we enjoyed the encore with the Mississippi mud pie.. Although the smallest size is more than enough for 4 with its richness (even though they say it's for 1-2). And I've never experienced as much bliss as I did and our guests when finishing up their banana cream pie... yummy! read more

After hearing so much about petsi pies, I finally purchased one for my birthday (Thanksgiving). First, I thought I was supporting a Black owned business - well Petsi retired earlier this year and passed ownership to someone else (Jill Remby). No longer Black owned. But I was still excited to buy a pie. Chose a classic apple pie (preordered) and got it early in the morning. It looked amazing in the box! The crust was thick, a nice apple print in the center. Fast forward to the evening. All I can say is it was underwhelming at best. The crust was nice but when I cut into it, there was practically no filling! Just a big ole hollow pie with what might have been only about two apples worth of finely diced something. I'm not a baker but I definitely know my pies. When I cut into a pie I want heaping filling. That was the illusion the crust gave. Well nope. Far from it. And given other reviewers said they ran out that day - makes me think they skimped on my filling :-(. I'm only giving them 3 stars because in the morning when I passed by, the pecan pies looked absolutely amazing through the window! And I did enjoy the crust. read more

Since I began my new job in Inman Square a couple months ago, my bookmarked list of breakfast and lunch stops has grown immensely around the Somerville and Cambridge area. Petsi Pies made my list by recommendation as I somehow missed seeing it on my daily drive by. I learned that the bakery has other locations right in the area, but this particular shop on Beacon Street does not make breakfast sandwiches. I came in for an egg and cheese bagel, but left with one of the most delicious blueberry muffins I've ever had. I also enjoyed a piece of spinach ricotta quiche that was very good also with a light flaky crust. The bakery offered a selection of 3 or 4 kinds of quiche to choose from. There is a variety of baked goods and coffee here at this location with a few seats to eat inside or take your treats to go. The woman who helped me on my visit was very sweet, friendly, and helpful. I love this location because it's convenient to stop at with plenty of parking nearby. This is definitely going to become one of my favorite stops along my commute. read more
