Stopped on Sunday during the Irish festival. Omg, yummy! I got the beef and Guinness, beans and cheese, chocolate, and apple. They were all very delicious! The group had a hard time picking our favorite. Service was quick since I had cash. read more

A fantastic experience after many years of having them on my list. Make no mistake. Proper Pie is a Richmond gem. Located in Church Hill neighborhood. Free off street parking is plentiful. There is good signage. It's now a take out only establishment since Covid. Two table are available for outdoor seating. Most customers took their orders and walked away. I visited them on a Sunday afternoon just after St. John's let out. It's just one block away and the church Patrick Henry gave a speech. There were a lot of church goers enjoying the business. Proper has a menu in the window to guide customers on choices of savory, or sweet. I wanted one of each. The man at the window was great in providing recommendations. I ordered the steak and cheese as well as the Banoffee. The preparation is already done and the man with assistant moved quickly to complete my order. I enjoyed my treats at their outdoor table and also enjoyed conversation with locals. I started with the steak & cheese which was loaded with meat and cheese. DELICIOUS! Then onto the Banoffee which smelled heavenly of cocoa. Another home run! I love bananas and if you do too this will be enjoyable. So glad I found them open on my visit. There hours are very good, but I have missed them in the Summer before on vacation. Just go, no brainer. read more

Visited Proper Pie for the first time with a friend for lunch. The shop has an outdoor ordering window and a couple of tables out on the sidewalk. I didn't realize this before I went, but it seems to be mostly to-go since you're unable to go inside. Luckily there is a park near by with benches, so my friend and I enjoyed our lunch there. The salmon pie was delicious and a great portion for me. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and cheeseburger for my fiancé, however, he felt they were greasy and heavy. Overall I enjoyed my pie, but might not be for everyone! read more

We visited with our of town friends. The restaurant is located in a quaint section of Church Hill with easy street parking. It is walk up only with a couple tables out front. There is a large menu so it takes a little while to figure out your choices. We tried two savory and two sweet pies olive, which were delicious. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. The staff were very helpful in us making our selections. read more

Had to stop for Pi Day of course! Line moved quick & it was easy to order online. Pies themselves were good, not great. We finished them off but not sure they were worth $7 each & a line around the block. Might try the savory pies though! read more

Tried this place today after living a few blocks away for almost a year and I've been missing out. Walk up windows to order, the line has always intimidated me but there's a line bc it's an order window. So the wait is worth it!! Great customer service, friendly and informative. We got three savory pies. Chicken/leek/mushroom, pork/green chili, steak and cheese. ALL were great. read more

My favorite pie place legit ever and pretty affordable always delicious onfg and I love they rotate flavors

Food was so good! Service was lightning fast, even with a line at the ordering window. Unfortunately, no inside seating, and only 2 tables outside for people to sit at. We got our pies and went to the nearby park to enjoy them. The curried lamb pie 5/5 was absolutely divine. The spices and gamey-ness of the lamb went really well together. Mince and cheese 3.5/5 was good too but heavy on the gravy, difficult to eat Thai chicken curry 4/5 a solid choice for non-red meat eaters! Well balanced. The pork BBQ and peach 4.5/5 was spectacular but just barely beat out by the lamb pie read more

Finally got to try Proper Pie out after hearing about it for so long! It is a small storefront that slings out only pies, both sweet & savory! I did not try any of the sweet pies on this visit but the three savory pies I did try were flaky and flavorful. I ended up getting the Peach & Pork BBQ, Butter Chicken and Salmon, Leek & Potato pies. The Peach & Pork BBQ was my favorite it had an amazing amount of filling and a good portion of meat. The Butter Chicken left more to be desired as it was mainly filled with the mild tomato based sauce and only a few chunks of chicken which did not compliment the crust as well as it could. The pies were much bigger than I thought they would be and found myself getting full after one, luckily they refrigerated and reheated very well! An employee also shared that you can freeze them for later eating, as well. They only offer take-out here and have two small tables in the front but do not have a public restroom or indoor seating. The staff was extremely friendly and quite efficient. The line for this place was quite long but I only waited about 10 minutes in line (which was about 4 groups ahead of me) and my pies were handed to me warm as soon as I placed the order. Overall, I see why this is an RVA favorite and definitely recommend giving it a shot. read more

A great place to stop by to pick up some pie from their convenient takeout window. We enjoyed our Peach + Sesame Crumble pie slice at the Libby Hill Park, which I highly recommend! Crust was great. Peach was perfect level of sweetness/tartness. Would definitely come back again. We went an hour before closing, and they had already run out of most things for the day. Try to go earlier if you can. Otherwise, I'm sure all of their menu items are solid. read more

The food here is amazing. Service is fast. Cool part of downtown Richmond. Highly recommend

If you love pie, and I do, you will want to line up gladly at the proper pie window and order your savory hand pie and your slice of heavenly sweet pie! We have had several from there and they are all delicious! The menu changes so you can try something new when it does. The butter chicken pie and the chicken curry mango are two standouts among the savories. My fave sweet is the strawberry rhubarb! Perfect blend of sweet and sour! The crusts are flakey and tender! Love me some pie! read more

Proper Pie is an absolute gem, and as a pie lover, I can confidently say this place was hitting. I'll definitely be coming back and bringing friends and family along with me. The staff here were really upbeat, and welcoming , just a burst of energy off the rip. Seating is very limited (just a couple of tables with chairs out front), this is more of a grab-and-go spot honestly. The selection is fantastic, and everything I tried was top-notch. Think their menu rotates but I got the lamb & vegetable pie as well as the steak & cheese pot pie, and both were so good, probably the best pot pie I've ever had. To finish it off, I went for dessert with their blueberry and apple pie, and it was hotting just as hard.. absolutely worth it. If you're into pies (savory or sweet), Proper Pie is a must visit. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu! read more

A great quick stop for a treat. We had the steak pie and a campfire pie. The savory pie was outstanding, especially on a cold day. The sweet pie was just alright! The service was standout - super quick and friendly! read more

one of my favorite stops during my richmond trip! this quaint little pie shop is tucked away. it has a few seats outside, but the locals seem to take it to the park nearby. they have a lot of both sweet and savory options. i tried the chicken, leak and mushroom pie and it was amazing! all the flavors were well put together and i regretted not getting more than one! for the sweet pie i tried the strawberry rhubarb which tasted so good. it was sweet with a slight tart flavor. the crust itself seemed a little underbaked but that didn't stop me from eating all of the filling. read more

Stopped here while driving through Richmond and I am so glad we did! They have a variety of savory and sweet pies and they change out some of their pies weekly which is very fun. It is just a little window you walk up to. It is a cute little neighborhood. Was able to get parking just outside to get some pies. There is no where to eat them which is a little sad. Lots of unique pies. I ordered the thai savory and the turtle sweet pie. I loved them both. They were so filling and definitely worth the price! I even went back for a second one but they were out of the turtle. Workers were so nice and offered their recommendations! Would definitely come back! Yum! read more

Good savory pies that are individually wrapped. There's two tables but the restaurant is an order and pickup window. It's super fast, basically ordered paid and handed pies. I'd imagine the wait would be longer for the sweet pies. Tried the steak & cheese, sausage roll and chicken. Definitely liked the sausage roll and steak & cheese the most. No restrooms or indoor seating. read more

Proper Pie was one of the most highly recommended RVA must-eats I read about online, so I had to try it. It's a tiny shop that only takes walk-up orders. They have two small tables outside and there is also a park conveniently located not even a block away. They have an assortment of savory and sweet New Zealand style personal and whole pies. Based on the three pies I tried, I'm sure everything is terrific. I went for the steak and cheese, their most popular savory pie, which is filled with diced steak in an onion gravy mixed with American cheese. Buttery, flaky crust with a warm, hearty, savory gravy. Now that is heaven on earth. To satisfy my sweet tooth, I got the banoffee and mock turtle (vegan) pies. The banoffee is their bestseller sweet pie and I now know why and am so on board. It's got beautiful and thick layers of English soft toffee, bananas, whipped cream, topped off with cocoa powder, all sitting on top of an Anzac biscuit crust. I was iffy about how tasty a vegan pie would be, but the person who took my order convinced me that the mock turtle was worth trying. It's got an Oreo crust, almond butter mousse filling, topped with Rice Krispies cereal, chocolate ganache, and crushed almonds. Very delicious in its own right. Proper Pie is a special spot to return to over and over again if you are ever in RVA. They know what they're doing, that's for sure. read more

It was great! I've been here twice, and both times were amazing. There's no indoor seating or bathroom available, but there are two tables outside. The process is simple and efficient: just order, pay, and get your pie. The steak and cheese pie is absolutely delicious, you can really taste the chunks of beef, and the savory sauce ties it all together perfectly. We tried the steak and cheese, the sausage roll, and the butter chicken pie. The sausage roll has a solid filling; it was a little dry, but still tasty. The butter chicken pie had great flavor as well, but the steak and cheese is still my favorite. We haven't made it to the sweet pies yet, but one day, we definitely will! read more

The Meyer lemon ginger and blackberry slice was delicious!! My first bite was a little confusing because I've never had ginger in a pie before and you can definitely taste it. BUT it complemented the tartness of the lemon and blackberry well. There's no indoor seating. You place an order at the window and pick up there once it's ready. read more

Proper Pie - Pumpkin & Salted Caramel - Desserts Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Went here on pie day because we figured it would be a good day to get a piece of pie on our vacation. We drove up and found there was quite a long line. So we figured that the pies must be good. We also thought the line was long and we should pre-order so we can get our pie quickly because we were on a road trip. You get your pies from a takeout window where there's no seating only a few benches on the sidewalk. Order was ready by the time we got there, we waited in line for around 10-15 minutes yes we had to wait in line after pre-ordering with other people that hadn't pre-ordered online. We tried to eat both pies that we got. I got chocolate mousse. My wife got coconut lemon pie. My wife and I both agreed that the pies were moderately bland with no flavor. Whipped cream also just tasted like nothing total came out to be 20 bucks for two pieces of pie. And it was not worth waiting in line. I also didn't know what the pies were because there was no description on the website when you pre-order. Ideas: Have a separate line for people that have ordered online. On busy days have people order online as it will speed up the line. Have marketing: the bag has not markings of where it came from or put stickers with the brand logo on the bag and container. read more

Proper pie will go toe to toe any day of the week with your mom's pie! Are you looking for a savory pie? Come here! What about a sweeter pie? Also available here!! Order ahead, you still gotta stand in line, but at least you'll be able to pick it up (guaranteed set aside for you). Pull up to the window at 12, and you'll be in for such a treat, the atmosphere can be very electric. Looking at the menu with all the other patrons, and just being blown away by all the options (new and old!) Not only is it beautifully made, and handheld, the portions are perfect, filling enough where you feel like you could split a dessert pie with your partner. Just perfect! read more

Great pies! What an amazing variety of sweet pie flavors! Lots of traditional flavors and a bunch of new twists. We had the chocolate raspberry cream and the coconut cream. Making the choice was probably the hard decision we made all day. The coconut cream was light and tasty. And the window staff were a delight to talk to. Great place! read more

I'm so happy to finally try this place. The staff was super friendly and took the time to explain that the savory pies are eaten like sandwiches and the sweet pies are sold by the slice or as a whole pie. Based on their recommendation, I got the steak and cheese pie for lunch and a slice of apple pie for later. The only drawback is that this is take out only, so on a cold day, I had to eat in my car, which made for a bit of a mess due to the flaky pie crust. The pie was delicious, served hot, and really hit the spot. I can't wait to get home and try the apple pie. If you are in Church Hill, you must stop by and try their pies. read more

I came here with a few friends because they said it was great. I probably hit a dud on this pie, the ginger was a bit overwhelming compared to the keylime and black berry. I tried my other friend lemon meringue pie, it was also average. Not quite sure if we were just unlucky. The service was great though, the friend was very friendly. You order at the window there's no inside seating. I'd try again when I'm Richmond hopefully it won't be a letdown again. read more

Proper Pie - Keylime, ginger & blackberry - Desserts Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Easy to order at the window. Actually too easy - every time I see there's no line when I drive by now I'll be tempted to pull over! The person who took my order offered to give me a rundown of the menu - sweet and savory. I went with some of their faves - the mince, butter chicken, and blueberry/peach cobbler. The mince was probably my fav individual pie - so savory and exactly what you think a meat pie should be like. Perfect! Amazing crust. The butter chicken was also good - I'd def get this one again especially in lieu of an expensive Indian takeout. The cobbler was just ok - I'm going to go for a different sweet option next time. Everything sounds great and I can't wait to be back soon! read more

Not only are these the best sweet AND savory pies in have ever had, the customer service was amazing. We literally could barely make it to the car before digging in!! The pumpkin caramel was soooo good, the raspberry buttermilk is a classic but the truest stars were the pork rojo and thai chicken curry savory pies. The pie crust is something I am dreaming of. I cannot sing their praises enough. I will be going back sooner rather than later!! read more

SO SO GOOD. And super fast service! My husband and I were visiting Richmond and stumbling upon this GEM was a highlight. 10/10

The restaurant is in the middle of a historic location so waiting in line in a beautiful talking to others was a vibe. Amazing selection of sweet and savory pies to try. I tried the sausage and wish I had got a sweet one as well, I'll be back. read more

This is a Richmond must try - and we legit recommend this to everyone when they ask for RVA food recs! We have been here countless times and have enjoyed every single thing we have ever tried! Post-covid it's just a window service so I recommend picking it up and walking across the street to the park to eat. Also, do not leave without getting both a savory and sweet pie! read more

Forgot to take a cross section picture while eating it because it was so good my friends and I absolutely loved these savory pies! We got a mushroom burger and picture is the pork pie. We placed an order in the morning and pickup was quick and east at their counter. The pies were so warm and the crust is perfectly flakey. Seasoned amazingly and the meat is so tender! Highly recommend checking this place out! Since they don't have an indoor space for customers, they have limited outdoor seating available (: read more

Proper Pie - Pork Chili Verde - Desserts Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

The best pie place I have ever tried! My family and I tried a variety of both savory and sweet pies, and loved every one of them. For the savory pies, we tried the steak and cheese, chili bean and cheese, and spinach, feta, and chickpea. They were all amazing and the crust was delicious. It's hard to say which one was my favorite as they were all very good. For the sweet pies, we tried the chocolate chess, coconut cream, pear and cranberry streusel, and the strawberry rhubarb. Again, amazing crust and amazing filling for each of the pies. My favorite was probably the pear and cranberry streusel. The pies reheat well and still tasted delicious. Price point is a tad higher than other pie places I've gone to, but it's probably due to the quality of ingredients they use. Hope to visit this place again next time we're in Richmond! read more

The place to go if you're ever craving pie, whether sweet or savory. I used to gravitate towards only the sweet pies but after the Church Hill Irish Festival, I can't stop thinking about the savory. Pies are made fresh daily. I really like that they have online ordering and the stock is accurate so once you pay, you have claimed that item. You can order at the window as well. There's no wait for your order. They used to have indoor seating but only operate out of the window now. read more

I was craving some savory pies and I decided to stop at my favorite pie place, Proper Pie. I asked what were the most popular savory pies, and the staff recommended the chicken chipotle and the steak and cheese. The chicken chipotle was really tasty, though I was hoping for a bit more of a kick. Sadly, the steak and cheese didn't do it for me. I wasn't into the gravy-like flavor, the gravy was too thick, and to be honest I couldn't even taste the cheese. I didn't get a sweet pie this time around. However, if you're wondering what to order please, please, please go for the Banoffee pie--it's amazing! Overall, I always have a good time here. I like to try different pies to see what I like. It's quick to order and the staff is super friendly. read more
