Angus Barn · Brier Creek / US 70
A steakhouse on the outskirts of Raleigh that people make the trek to for its steaks and its chocolate chess pie, a recipe Van Eure's mother, Alice, developed in the late 1960s with waitress Betty Shuggart. The pie is known for its signature crackly, crusty top, and it remains a classic on the menu. Order the chocolate chess pie after the steak.
Bean Traders · South Durham
A South Durham coffee roaster off Highway 54 that added pie in late 2015, after co-owner Christy Chapman taught herself to bake pies she was proud of and spent a year perfecting an all-butter crust. Freshly baked pies now sit beside the house-roasted coffee, the flavors rotate, and the vanilla buttermilk is the standing favorite. Order a slice of the vanilla buttermilk pie with a cup of coffee.
Hayes Barton Café & Dessertery · Five Points
A Raleigh cafe and supper spot that touts a long list of pies, from key lime and caramel apple to chocolate pecan. Order a slice of the chocolate pecan pie.
Asali Desserts & Cafe · Cary
A Cary dessert cafe, owned by Hanadi Asad, where pies with pizzazz are the point. Order a slice of pie.
Bittersweet · Downtown Raleigh
A Raleigh dessert and cocktail bar that serves slices of pie alongside its cocktails, with a Derby pie on a dessert list that also runs to a s'mores sundae and a salty chocolate chip ice cream sandwich. Order a slice of the Derby pie with a cocktail.
