If you're looking for a custom cake, this is THE PLACE to get it. This was my first experience ordering a custom cake. I called to get a quote for my mom's 60th birthday cake idea that I had, which involved a hidden money roll compartment that gets pulled out from the top of the cake. I called on a Wednesday and was able to get the cake on the following Saturday - so fast! I spoke to Jonathan, the operations manager, on the phone during the first call and he was very helpful and honest about what could be done in a short amount of time, but it ended up working out bc the cake I wanted was not too fancy or complicated. I asked for a simple cream colored round cake with elegant piped floral decoration, and the insertion of the money box. I emailed him some inspiration pictures and the custom cake specialist totally delivered!! The flavor I chose was Italian Cream and it was as delicious as it was beautiful. The icing was not too sweet, which is just how we like it. The price was extremely affordable (about $75), especially compared to other custom cake places. Couldn't recommend them more to all my family and friends who get custom cakes for special occasions. My mom loved it so much. Thank you so much Pie Factory! For anyone wondering, you can get the money roll kit off of amazon! read more

They are a wholesaler so they did not have any pies available so I decided to try two cookies they had available. I tried one oatmeal raisin and one white powder Mexican wedding cookie~I will not be purchasing the cookies again. They both had zero flavor, tasted like baked flour. I didn't even taste sugar. Maybe the pies are better. I will give them another chance with a pie. read more

We purchase and Apple and Blueberry Pie for Thanksgiving from the Pie Factory. I was so excited to server them to our guests. I am sorry to say that not one single person liked them or even ate more then a few bites. The pie crust was hard and thick and the filling was hardly there at all and very very sweet. I asked if anyone wanted to take the pies for a friend and everyone declined. They ended up in the trash. I hope that this is not your standard. I am just sorry that we drove all the way from Richmond TX and spend time in a waiting line. read more

The lemon pound cake and blueberry pound cake smack!!! I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner. He was so nice and pleasant!!! I'll definitely be back!! read more

This place delivers in its name with their PIES. Simple, homemade, and just done right. The fillings are flavorful and not overly sweet. We ordered the pumpkin and chocolate pecan for a friendsgiving and they were a hit. These pies definitely do not taste store bought and are not artificially sweetened. The pumpkin filling was creamy with just enough spice and the chocolate pecan is nothing short of orgasmic lol. The pie crust is simple and definitely takes a back seat to highlight the flavors of the different fillings being offered. Only downside is that most pies by the time I came to pick mine up on a Saturday were not available as you have to order ahead. I would've loved to have tried their macadamia nut cream pie *drool*. Guess ill just have to come back. read more

I recently dropped in on a whim right at closing (which is 5PM, heads-up!), and asked what pies they had available. They said pecan, pumpkin, and apple. So I bought an apple pie and served it for dessert that evening, and wow it was a hit. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was simply delicious. The price was excellent - I think that particular pie was $13.50 plus tax, or something like that. Oh, and they take credit cards now... last time I had visited, which was years ago, they were a cash-only operation, so I'm glad you can use a card now. read more

After reading the raving reviews I decided to order two pies for a Friendsgiving dinner. I was very fortunate to get those pies after requesting them the morning of. They had made extra Pumpkin && Chocolate Pecan and they kindly set them aside for me. Don't leave it up to chance though, I would definitely recommend putting in your order the day before. Service was impeccable unfortunately the pies left something to be desired. The pumpkin pie made my mouth water upon first look. Later that night after having an AMAZING dinner cooked by my friend Ale I was ready for some pie. I was heartbroken when I could barely taste any pumpkin. It was bland with hints of cinnamon. Thankfully the chocolate pecan was a lot tastier, great combo. I will be returning in hopes that the bourbon pecan is even better!! Happy Thanksgiving Yelpers!! read more

Lucky me when to a birthday party that served half a dozen different pies from this place. All were pretty good and not overwhelmingly sweet, but my favorite was the strawberry rhubarb. I tried to grab some pies here for my friendsgiving, but I didn't realize they close early on Saturdays. For my next event, I'll be sure to keep that in mind. read more

Man, I dont eat pies all the time, But when i visit all my peeps back home in Houston, Louisiana and San Antonio. We got some Apple Pie here to eat and take home. I also got some Pecan pies. Cherry pie is ok, but they all taste good here. My first time here. The owners and staff are really cool people. More of like a family atmosphere. Cant wait to come back again. read more

I agree with Julia S. how this bakery is more known for their holiday pies. But recently I ordered a fondant cake for my niece's first birthday and it was absolutely beautiful. I'm usually not a fan of fondant but the entire cake was completely edible. Still reminiscing about this delicious fluffy strawberry cake : ) read more

Oh my god there aren't enough great words to say about this company I came to them with a crazy baby in the box baby shower cake and they suggested onesie cookies. Not only did they knock it out of the ballpark but everyone loved the cake and cookies and the decorations were beautiful. Other than that the price was very reasonable. Everyone else I called wanted at least $750 and they were no where near that price. This should be your go to bakery Patricia read more

The pie factory is a hidden gem in Houston. This place has the best pies, cakes, cookies, cake balls, etc etc! Everything is handmade in the bakery at the back and let's just say....there are never leftovers when we get dessert from the pie factory! We've been coming here for years now and order anything from pies for house parties, customized birthday cakes to even our wedding cakes! Although their main customers are larger corporations, they treat small customers like us with much care and attention. Note: Our wedding and grooms cakes were so impressive that even our venue posted it on their instagram. They have an amazing cake artist that went above and beyond what we originally requested. read more

I have glanced at this place over the years and the one time I want to finally buy a pie and they move locations. It was a tad hard to find, but once you know landmarks it's no problem. The store is located at the end if a strip center that does not face the street. So be looking for the Sign. Its right next to a Brake Check. I came here still debating if I wanted a pie or cake. After looking at the selections I got the apple pie. It was good and flaky. It would make a perfect addition on thanksgiving and Christmas. I wish they had petit fours for their cakes. That would be awesome. I'll be back for a cake. It's not that expensive. Be warned --- No credit cards or debit accepted ---. I don't know if this is temporary. I'd call to see If they do now. read more

Friendly, helpful staff are happy to accommodate walk-ins, tho they are happy to take custom cake and pie orders in advance. The Apple pie is perfect, made with fresh apple slices lightly sweetened and spiced and baked into a perfectly flaky, buttery golden pie crust. We also picked up a frozen German Chocolate cake at the last minute for a family dinner a few hours later. The cake tasted fresh and delicious, with an ideal balance of chocolate and coconut flavors. Pie Factory has earned the distinction of being our go-to bakery. For an added surprise, the prices are very reasonable for the outstanding quality of their products. Hard to find, but well worth finding. read more

My family orders a variety of pies from them and they are tasty. We asked them to copy an Orange pie recipe from the now closed Sun Wah Kue bakery in San Francisco. After the third version, we think it is spot on. It is a tasty refreshing pie with whipped cream. It has a nice orange flavor. All pies should be ordered ahead time by one day. read more

Today was my first visit. The staff was kind, offered samples, and the sampled pecan pie was great. I purchased wedding cookies, an oatmeal cookie, and a sweet potato pie (my holiday favorite!) The cookies were good. However, I regret to write this but, hopefully this will help for future sweet potaoe pie efforts: my sweet potato pie unfortunately, was not to par. It lacked the light to medium souffle texture traditionally associated with s.p. pie. It was rather condensed and stale, like warmed puddy or soft glue. While there were hints of actual sweet potato (much appreciated), it appeared and tasted mixed with canned ingredient, overpowering what sweet potatoes there were, with an aftertaste. It lacked traditional buttery, as well as the traditional nutmeg/spicing, and was bland yet overbearingly sweet. The business seems well operated, clean, well appointed, and the staff was kind and accommodating; it is also in a good location, so I wish the best for this business, but I have to give this honest feedback of my purchase, in hopes that it will help an otherwise well-run establishment. read more

Omg! I never eat pie because it's not my thing and most of the time when I do try a pie it's way too sweet. But this place makes the BEST pie! I ordered the pecan and apple pie $13.50 and $15.50. It was my first time buying pie so I don't know the prices, but I think it was pretty cheap and tasted really good and everyone loved it! Will definitely come back to try different pies! read more

Recently had a craving for a coconut meringue pie called the pie factory and found that they had one available for pick up that day also they have a variety of other flavors can't wait to try another the coconut meringue was totally awesome read more

First impression...very difficult to find. Not an impressive entry. Secondly, the cases were bare with only a few cookies to pick from and I tried a sandtart and it had NO taste what so ever :( Lastly, the place doesn't take credit cards. Cash only. I personally will not do business if a place doesn't have a machine because books can show a loss vs profit. I picked a boston cream pie and it looks beautiful. Their crust, so I was told, is homemade. Not expecting a crust on a boston cream anyway. Got home and cut a piece for each of us. The cake layers were light and had a good flavor. Pastry cream, we expected to be yellow, but it was more on the white colored side. It wasn't the true pastry cream we were raised eating, but it was favorable. The glaze was a bit watery by the time I drove the 100 miles round-trip back home. I suggest an ice chest if you have a long drive. I will go back because I need to try the crust! read more

Friends have been telling us this place has amazing pies. So one afternoon when we found ourselves in that part of town we popped in. First of all it's a little bit hidden off the street. If you see the McDonald's on the north side of Bellaire just west of Chimney Rock it's right across the street in that odd secret strip center. The front façade is something like one of those game rooms you are always scared to enter...dark reflective glass. But go in the door and there is a small little counter with a few pies and a HUGE menu of pies you can order. Don't expect to find every pie available when you just pop in off the street. I guess ordering yours is best...but with the holidays on the way, it would be a great place to get your pies. And I would advise ordering early. Just go in and speak with the super friendly folks who run it. I understand they also do some terrific special order cakes too. We took home a cherry pie that must have weighed 4 pounds! The crust was buttery, the filling sweet and tart like a good cherry pie should be. It really was a good pie. All sorts of fruit pies - cherry, apple, lemon, blueberry, pineapple(?) and pecan and Meringue pies and of course pumpkin. We are going to order our holiday pie from here this year for a change of pace. Ours was $12 to carry out. read more

I ordered a bourbon pecan pie for Thanksgiving. It was a disappointment. There was no bourbon flavor at all, the crust was undercooked, and the pie was just not great at all. I won't return. read more

We did cakes in various flavors as centerpieces at our wedding instead of having a traditional wedding cake and the Pie Factory did a wonderful and affordable job!

This is where we always order our holiday pies. They have the best pumpkin pie in town! I usually call in advance and pick up the day before the holiday. They sell a variety of pies from pumpkin, apple, peach, pecan, chocolate pecan, etc. I don't think they are as popular among regular consumers, it seems they mostly sell to other businesses such as restaurants and hotels. read more

I ordered a birthday cake for my daughter's first bday. I wanted it to be very special and I came up with several decoration ideas. I talked to Chef Kelsie who did our cake. She was very nice and she listened to me very carefully. I shown her several pics and gave some details about what I wanted. Then several days later when I went to pick up the cake, I could not believe how beautiful the cake was. She also did some cupcakes for us. Those were very cute too. Thanks Kelsie and The Pie Factory. I am definitely coming back. read more

The pies were delicious. I tried the buttermilk and pecan. I also ordered a cream cheese pound cake. It was very moist and had a good flavor. There are many of flavors to choose from. I will be back to order in the future. Bring cash, no cards accepted. The owner's son said they mainly act as a wholesale bakery. They do not carry lots of items for immediate pickup. The store is not a Three Bothers. Order ahead if you want something specific. read more

This is the second time that I ordered a strawberry cream pie and got it wrong I've ordered this numerous times and always had it right now this is the second time in a row that I've had to go back and waste my time and gas to go across town to get it right not once have they offered me a refund or an apology instead they want to argue with me on the phone and say well you didn't order it right I've ordered despite numerous times for years and now all of a sudden I'm ordering it wrong thank you for the customer service read more

Despite its name, the Pie Factory has multiple dessert offerings at its store front. I've ordered multiple cakes, cookies, and pies from this shop and they've always done a great job of completing things quickly and delivering a high quality product. My top recommendations are the tres leches cake, carrot cake, and pecan pie. Just as a note, the confectionary items differ from other shops around town in that they are not overly sweet and decadent but more of a perfect sweetness which will leave you wanting to perpetually take another bite (much to my chagrin). Also, from what I understand the company is primarily a wholesale operations and gets most of its business from large deliveries, so the storefront is not as exuberant as some bakeries in town. However in my opinion, the product is just as good if not exceedingly more delicious. read more

Ordered some things for a very special occasion - a birthday celebration. I ordered over the phone and was not told this was a cash only business. I took an hour off work and drove to Bellaire to pick these items up only to find out the policy then. I had $6 and absolutely no way of getting cash because I do not have an ATM card nor do I bank with a brick and mortar bank. In a day and age when almost all commerce is virtual it was truly unexpected. And for a business who often deals with people who are party planning? Details are important. Really disappointing. read more

This place was a little far from me but I was willing to make the drive because I was in search of a lemon meringue pie for my mom's birthday. This was one of the only places with good reviews that had one. They had a pretty nice selection of pies on hand. Some of the specialty cakes you need to order ahead. The pie turned out great! It was a big hit with my mom. Very lemony and the meringue was nicely done. My only complaint was that it was cash only. I don't feel it was made clear on their website or even mentioned when I called them to check and see that they had a lemon meringue pie. It was just by chance that I had some cash on me. read more

Excellent Pies! Delicious! Try the traditional Texas favs, pecan, pumpkin. Yummy!

It's a commercial bakery. Bring cash because they don't except credit cards. Big 10" pies, not the little 7" inchers like you get at HEB and they are restaurant quality. read more

Excellent pies. I needed pies for the holiday last minute. Excellent service and lots of variety.

I sent to make an order for my Baby shower, we sent to make an italian cream cake simple with butter cream for the cover side,decoration was fine and I feel satisfy on that side, but the taste was extremily sweet didn't like it at all, all my guest agree with my thought and is why I am posting one star, really mad about this as for me it is so important the decoration as the flavor, cup cakes was good and nice price. I think Kroger make better cakes read more
