I was craving cherry pie and discovered the Real Pie Company. The cherry pie was delicious. Nice tart cherries and a great crust. My husband tried the pot pie and it was huge. It took him 2 meals to finish it. read more

So. . . I haven't been feeling well the last few days so my husband and daughters stopped by the real pie company to get me a slice of my favorite pie, Keylime. I was so excited to tear into this, but when I opened it, the slice was extremely small. . .so small that it did not fill up the pie slice container it came in. To see if I was wrong, I went onto their Yelp page to view their pictures to see what other people's pie slice looked like the to-go container and it looks like everyone else got a regular sized slice of pie that fit snuggly in sliced pie container. I'm disappointed. I don't come here often but when I've gone, it's always been a major treat for me so to know that my girls were doing something from their heart to bring my spirits up and I see, what looks to me like, they got shortchanged is disheartening which makes me question returning. All the times that I have visited this place, it's never been super busy and they seem to have a sufficient amount of time to pay attention to what they're doing so to receive a slice of pie that does not look like a full slice of pie that does not fit fully in the pie container. . .and comparing them to the other pictures. . .makes me wonder why I received such a small slice of pie. I'm on the fence. Anyone have any advice or input? read more

Who doesn't love a good dessert?! Especially for the holidays or special occasion?! I have my go to pie shop that I will order from depending upon the amount of desserts that I will be baking myself, or want to serve. I decided to order the cherry pie, and I would bake them more complicated desserts. When I placed the order, the woman that helped me was incredibly sweet. I did ask if I needed to add to the order explaining that I was still on the fence about some of my desserts if I could do that. She assured me that I could either call back, or when I was in the shop just pick up whatever I needed because there should be plenty of extras. Great! I arrived 15 minutes before the store opened to an unexpected line wrapping around both sides of the building. Thankfully, one line was for those of us that had pre-ordered, and the other line which was much longer, was for last-minute shoppers. The pre-ordered line moved fairly quickly, and when I got inside, I inquired about purchasing additional pies. I was met with a grouchy face, and was told I would need to go get in the other line if I wanted to purchase anything. I quickly explained what had been said to me on the phone, and rather than have a conversation with me, I was overlooked and they yelled next. It felt like a scene out of Seinfeld. Fine. I took my pie and left. It hadn't even made it to the dessert table and had already left a bad taste in my mouth. Let me preface the rest of this by saying that their pies are very pricey, and it's more hype than anything else. People, if you're going to hype anything, make sure it's worth the push and the money. The dessert table was filled, and let's just say I was thankful that I went above and beyond in my efforts for the extra desserts. I was told that the pie would serve around eight people. I'm glad it wasn't the only dessert because it definitely would not have worked. I was told that the pie did not need to be heated and could be eaten as as. Fair enough. When we cut into the pie, the bottom crust was really hard. The lattice part of the crust was equally hard, and the combination together was absolutely awful. I was expecting flaky, buttery, decadent, and was met with really bad crust. The actual cherries of the pie were tasty, but they're definitely was not enough filling in the pie. So it mounted to basically crust and a little bit of cherries. I have to say I was rather embarrassed to serve it, but it was what it was. I was grateful for the fact that it absolutely did not taste like the canned pie filling that you can buy in the grocery store. Will I go back? Based on Customer Service and the quality of the pie, probably not. If you plan on going, always check their hours because they're not open every day. Parking can be impossible, regardless of the time of year, and their pies are all pretty pricey. read more

I visited the Real Pie Company in hopes of finding breakfast. Thank you Google and Siri for bad information, this is a bakery and the restaurant was closed down at the onset of the pandemic. The shop smelled great, fresh lemons (someone was cutting lemons). Therefore I was enticed to buy two lemon shortbread cookies. Very good, flavorful, you can see the lemon zest and taste the lemon flavor without it being too overpowering. I also purchased a chocolate chip cookies. It was good. Fresh and tasty treats for me. Friendly personnel, lots of pie and pastries. I hear their coconut pie is the best and a true favorite. Reasonable prices. Bring cash or get charged $2.50 per transaction on debit and credit cards. Tipping optional. read more

What started out as a by chance crossing, at a "Friendsgiving" get together last year. Turned into us finally coming to the Real Pie Company. To share the wealth with our family and friends during the holidays. Last Thanksgiving one of our friends introduced us to the Real Pie Company, and their "Sweet Staple" Butterscotch Banana Cream Pie. This was by far one of the best pies that I'd ever tasted, and I needed to know what it was and where it was from...so I could try it again! This time I was having a family holiday get together and wanted to bring a dish, and decided to bring the Butterscotch Banana Cream Pie and another we'd never tried. From walking in I loved the small bakery look amd vibe, and seeing customers patiently waited to order. And or like us, not sure because there were so many delicious treats to choose from; both visually with what was already on display. And or what was featured on the display counter, and behind the register on the large menus categorized as "Sweet Staples", "December (Monthly)" and "Savory Items". Ordered: "Sweet staples menu" Blackberry + Wild Blueberry Pie Butterscotch Banana Cream Pie Note: BRING CASH! They have a2.5% charge for debit & credit card charges. So save yourself some money and use cash. I wasn't aware of this before we arrived as this was our first time here. And although our order came to $70, I only had $100's on me and they don't take bills that large. So I unfortunately wasn't able to pay in cash this time, but definitely will next time. Overall: Both pies were absolutely delicious and both were popular with my family holiday gathering. Everyone loved the sweetness of the Butterscotch Banana Cream Pie and those that love a tart pie. Absolutely loved the Blackberry + Wild Blueberry Pie. Will for sure be back again, and would highly recommend checking out the Real Pie Company if you haven't already. read more

I come here on a visit every few times a year. I can't come here more often. My waistline would hate me. The pies: they're delicious! Haven't had one that disappointed. The best is the key lime, and I don't even like key lime. They have a rhubarb that is delicious, and so is the pecan. I finally tried their famous chicken pot pie - worth the trouble of making it, and then destroying the pie tin trying to get all of the crust off because it's that good. Honorable mention: the cucumber lemonade that they serve during the hot months. It's so refreshing and sweet on a hot day. read more

What a lovely locally-owned pie shop in Sacramento! The inside feels cozy and welcoming, and the employees are kind. There is a small parking lot, but aside from that, you will have to resort to street parking. Their butterscotch banana cream pie is to die for. That was the only flavor I tried, but I would come back to try their other flavors, namely the chocolate cream pie and coconut cream pie. read more

This appears to be a one off newish bespoke pie spot. I love it. Hip vibe although there's no seating. Me and my pie bros had to eat in car. Lots of standards and some original pie choices. Patient customer service read more

Oh boy, picked up a slice of Key Lime pie for a snack. Brought home 2 frozen pies: shepherd's pie and chicken pot pie. They both cooked up in the oven perfectly according to the directions on the label. Winner. I could write many more words about how delicious the pot pies are, but trust me, I'm still working to get the drool stains off my white t-shirt. Sooooo yummy. The Key Lime slice also hit nicely on a hot afternoon. read more

First time trying this pie shop. The staff were very friendly and assisted with any questions we had. The inside was clean and maintained very well. We ordered the Butterscotch Banana Cream Pie and Coconut Cream Pie which both were absolutely delicious. Can't wait for summer to try out their pie shakes. read more

My sister highly recommended pies from Real Pie Company, and she gets them from the Soil Born farms. We visited their brick and mortar location for the first time and they had a great selection to choose from. I already know I will be back soon to try more. They offer pie slices as well as whole pies. We decided on slices of key lime, coconut cream, and pear and blackberry hand pie. We ordered the tangerine butter cookie, but when we got home we realized they mistakenly gave us the tangerine dream mini pie (which was good). We will be back to try their cookies! I have an affection for coconut cream pie and their version is really good. The crust is delicious (more like graham cracker texture versus a butter crust), and the cream layer had lots of flaked coconut which I loved. My sister really enjoyed the key lime pie as well. The hand pie was quite large and I enjoyed the filling. Service was great and we went when they opened so all the selections were available. I would like to try their sweet potato pie, chicken pot pie or shepards pie next time. Definitely getting more coconut cream next time too. They have a small parking lot and there are lots of street parking in the area. read more

Hours on Yelp are inaccurate. States they open at 12 pm so I got here just after 12 pm and everything was sold out. Turns out they opened at 11 am so everything was sold out due to opening earlier. If I had known this, I would've came earlier. Left empty handed. They need to learn to update their hours. read more

We ordered a cherry pie for the 4th of July. Beautifully done with a lattice top. The pie was filled with cherries and the taste was heavenly! I'm a cherry pie lover! I also walked out with two chicken pies and the single size was big enough for my husband and I to share. The chicken pies come frozen with instructions as to how to cook them. read more

This place is unreal. I don't consider myself much of a pie person, and even less so since I've been trying to cut back on carbs, but I was seriously contemplating a return trip here to pick up more pies. We came on a Thursday so they only had the pies in the case available instead of the full menu selection. Honestly, it made it easier for us to decide on what to bring home. We ended up getting a peach-nectarine pie along with slices of cherry pie, blackberry + wild blueberry, and coconut cream pie. Everything was superb. The fruit flavors were intense. The cream pie had a nice texture to it and wasn't filled with too much whipped cream. The crust on the pies was light and flaky - in a word, perfect. read more

The pies we tried was key lime, banana butterscotch and dulce de leche poppers. All were delicious and freshly made and I really like their crust as I like the crust!

Real pie is hands down the best pie in Sacramento- all these one star or two star reviews are crazy - they sell out because they are popular , since when did that become an issue ? Also the hours are posted outside the store and even online on their own website - yelp messed up the hours , so rate them 1 star ? Weird . Sounds like people are so used to getting things handed to them or like one comment said going to chains where the quality is low and they can always be in stock becuase they have preservatives in them is where those people belong . Real pie I am so sorry for all the negative comments - it's a shame people rate low because your following is so high. I wish you continue to grow and the people that know you and love your pies like myself will continue to support you , because that's what this company deserves . Wild how much people talk negatively about something on social networks when IRL this company brought a great business to Sacramento, and believe me we needed a REAL PIE SHOP. Keep up the great work - your pies are awesome as always - and if I really want a pie I want to try from your menu I'll be sure to check your website and hours and be there when you open read more

I've been wanting to try this place FOREVER. Father's Day seemed like as good a day as any other! I did try to pre-order online, the night before, but they require two days notice for pre-orders (fair enough). Also, it's easiest to see their pie line-up on their Instagram, but their website does have them too. As I'm reflecting, I didn't even try either pie I purchased. Only because the family devoured them, and randomly, I was given a banana pie instead of Coconut Cream Pie...and I absolutely HATE bananas. I will say, my family has opinions. So, since they ate almost the entirety of two pies in one sitting, leads me to believe they were delicious. Also, they verbally shared their kudos for the pies too! So, although I have yet to try them myself, I can safely say they are good. I will be back, because after reviewing their single slice/pie flavors, I want to try them. Savory and sweet, both peaked my interest. As for customer service, they did exceptional. After I realized the mix up with the pies, I emailed the email from their website. I shared the mix up and that I wasn't event sure what I hoped would be the outcome, since the family ate the banana pie and enjoyed it. Kira, one of the owners, responded extremely quickly and offered a certificate for a free pie. This was extremely kind and I appreciate this level of customer service. The set-up is pretty simple. You walk in and there are two registers, but the center one is the main one. You place your order and wait, awkwardly, then pick it up from the counter at the end. It was a simple system, yet with people standing around and waiting, it could be confusing for people who are new and walking in. I'm glad I finally got to support this niche, local business. I hope to be back soon. In Real Pie Company we crust! read more

AMAZING now added to my list of go to spots on broadway. The pie milkshake is one of the best milkshakes I've ever had with buttermilk ice cream and blackberry and blueberry pie. The pie in the shake added a nice texture. Also, the buttermilk icecream is custom made from Gunther's. I am eager to try the savory pies like the chicken pot pie of shepherd's pie (they were out when we visited) but I heard that they also supply to Nugget. I'll be picking up a savory pie soon. The staff was nice and answered all my questions. I like the vibe of this location, you get to see the bakers at work! read more

What's to say that hasn't been said? The pies are phenomenal!!! If you see anything with Meyer lemon - grab it! The upside down cake was meh and the hours aren't the best for working stiffs. The lack of seating and hours drive this place down to a solid 4 stars. read more

Do you like pie? If you do this is the place for you! My family loves their pies. Our favorite is galette. Sometime we get a frozen one so we can enjoy the baking smells emanating from our oven! Love that the pies are seasonal. Service is great and knowledgeable. On major holidays tho be prepared for long line even if you pre purchase. It is that popular! The ambiance is old school bakery. I love it! My kids love it! If you love pie come here! read more

Real Pie Company has been on my list to visit for a while. I've heard great things, but haven't had a lot of pie needs or cravings lately. Today I was driving through the area and decided I had to stop and check it out. There is street parking, and it looked like there were limited spots on the side of the restaurant off of X street Broadway Alley. The parking on the side of the building closer to Broadway (the main street) belong to the Smog business and there was a sign out to notify people. I parked right in front of the building and walked in where I was immediately greeted by two friendly staff members behind the counter. When I let them know it was my first time they gave me the rundown on the different options available. I love that there are options for slices and full pies as well as other offerings like whole savory pies, cookies and drinks. I ended up ordering a slice of Key Lime Pie ($6.25) and a seasonal slice of Mocha Cream Pie ($6.50) along with a Maple Pecan Cookie ($1.50) and a Meyer Lemon Shortbread cookie ($1.50). The team there was really friendly and packed everything up nicely and with care and rang me out. When I got home I immediately snapped some photos and shared the slices with my husband. We're big Key Lime pie fans and while this version is much different than what we've become accustomed to with some Florida recipes, it was still very tasty. The lime flavor was lighter and it was fluffy versus dense. The mocha cream pie was a bit more dense, but still fluffy and I liked that the bottom of the crust hada layer of chocolate. I'm saving the cookies to enjoy with tea later, but I'm excited to try them as well. The business itself is definitely a pick up and take home spot, but it's perfect for a little treat or to bring something to a party or event. The savory pies also sounded delicious and I'll have to try them next time I visit. read more

Not sure who invented chili pot pie - but I can tell you with out a shadow of a doubt - Real Pie Company perfected it! Wow! I came for the Chicken Pot Pie but will stay for the Chili Pot Pie. Thank you Real Pie Company for the tip on adding sour cream! Rest of the family enjoyed their incredible Chicken Pot Pie. Can't wait to try the Broccoli & Cheese hand pie next. Thank you Real Pie Company for expanding your already incredible menu! Bravo! read more

This is a small storefront with very little parking. Very busy place. Pot pies are individual size and $15. Pies are $33. And they will charge you 2.5% extra if you don't pay cash. The crusts are excellent. The hand pie was a fail for me though because I just can't get over the CANNED pears!- it just ruined the filling. Husband loved the blackberry blueberry pie crust & filling though. Obviously a place for a treat, not regular visits. read more

It was an interesting way we decided to come here today. We were at a coffee shop and we saw a van that had the "Real Pie Company" logo to the side. I looked to Yelp, and saw that it was less than a 5 minute drive. We decided to stop by after grabbing our coffee. I liked how there was parking right in the front. There were a few people in the shop. We were greeted by the 2 ladies as soon as we entered. There are not tables or seating. Which is fine because we had to get going anyways. We honestly ordered a lot because it all looked and sounded so good haha. The one pie that stood out the most was the Chicken Pot pie! We will definitely be back for this one. When in the area and want some pie, stop by the Real Pie Company! read more

Talk about melt in your mouth...I'm not even a pie lover but this small quaint homemade bakery delivers!! Quality pies with fresh fruit, cream or even booze!!! The crust is so flakey, it's almost better than the insides! They offer an array of seasonal and stock pies, rotating flavors according to the season. It was hard to just choose one so the cashier helped me choose. I got a apricot almond paste galette, butterscotch banana cream pie and tangerine shortbread cookie. My fav was the galette. I'm so intrigued by the changing menu I want to come back every month now, if not sooner!! The shop itself feels large with just two simple cases of offerings...hot in one case and refrigerated in the other. They also have a variety of potpies and other deserts. The most unique was the pie shake...if you can't eat it, drink it!!! The parking lot is small with a few spots out front but I had no problems getting a spot. One of the owners was actually in the shop cleaning up and was very hospitable. I asked for the largest piece of pie as he was putting them away for the night and he obliged!!! My new desert go to..and did I mention they sell their pies at Nugget? You know they're good just by that alone!!! read more

Found myself here after searching for chocolate cream pie. We came in the afternoon and it wasn't too busy. The staff were friendly and service was fast. Ended up with three slices of pie. Chocolate Cream Pie: Delicious! The crust is chocolatey and the filling is rich, not too thick or too runny. The slice keeps its shape perfectly and has just the right amount of whipped cream on the top. Blackberry Wild Blueberry: Crust is perfect flakey and sweet. The filling is flavorful and fruity. The sweetness and flavors of the fruit really came out. Almond Ginger Date: This one surprised me. Reminds me of a pecan pie with a hint of ginger which really adds to the overall flavor. The dates give it a nice natural sweetness and binds the pie together well. Overall I really enjoyed all the pies. Usually I'm not a pie person aside from chocolate cream but was pleasantly surprised. You can tell the ingredients are quality and care is put into each pie. I'm excited to come back and try some of the savory options. read more

Who doesn't love pie? I stopped by the Real Pie Company and all I can say is wow!! There were so many options and sadly I couldn't get them all. My wife and I decided to try 2 pies. The Bartlett Pear & Wild Blueberry Crisp was so tasty. It had right amount of sweetness and crisp on top. The Rhubarb & Raspberry Pie was tart and the crust was flaky and delicious. The employees were nice and friendly and offered us utensils and napkins when I got my order. They did have a surcharge when using your credit/debit card which sucks. I'll be back again to for more pie!!! read more

You will not be disappointed. I have tried to gate keep this place for a while now. Solid 10/10 This is place is more of a grab n go---open for walk ins Fri-Sun. The rest of the week is pre-orders only. Lots of rotating pies flavors and tarts to choose from. Their signature is the jumble-berry. They also sell take home pies like chicken pot pies and shepherds pie. Both delicious and the right amount of flaky. My absolute favorite thing to order here is the PIE MILKSHAKE. You can mix and match your choice of pie and ice cream (Gunther's). I prefer buttermilk ice cream and jumble-berry pie. Just the right sweetness and you get chunks of pie every now and then. I'm ashamed how often I crave this. read more

5 stars for the Butterscotch Banana Cream Pie! Absolutely delicious! I love regular banana cream pies and at first was worried about the butterscotch. Thank goodness I tried it anyway because the flavor is amazing, and it doesn't take away from the banana cream at all. Then the crust is the perfect texture for a nice chew to compliment the soft cream filling and bananas. I've also tried the Cherry Pie. It was also good, but it wasn't the same wow-I-will-crave-this type of good like the Butterscotch Banana Cream one. I really wish they sold the Butterscotch Banana Cream Pie at Nugget! So gotta trek to their actual Real Pie Company store for it. It's not the nicest area, but theres always street parking right in front and like 3 customer parking spots to the left of the store. So it's easy to get in, grab a quick slice, and get out. I haven't ordered a whole pie yet as I know I wouldn't have the discipline to not binge eat the whole thing by myself haha. A slice is $6.95, a bit pricey for a slice, but worth it for me. read more
