New Jersey: The Best Pie In The State Is Not What You’d Expect
With autumn in full bloom and Thanksgiving around the corner, one dessert item takes center stage: pie. In New Jersey, it would be safe to assume a food native to the Garden State would be the top choice in this popular dessert category. However, according to a new ranking by Tasting Table, the best pie in New Jersey is one that originated (and very famous in) Florida. It’s key lime pie.
It’s true that New Jersey often ranks towards the top of states that produce blueberries. As you may know, blueberries are the state’s official food. It’s also hard to find a diner that doesn’t serve a fresh piece of apple pie. In addition, people come from all over to try a tomato pie, although, yes, here we are referring to pizza.
During the fall months, the most common pies are pumpkin and apple. They are both relative to the season and a staple on the Thanksgiving dessert table. Nonetheless, here is what Tasting Table said about the best pie in New Jersey. “While you may not expect one of the best key lime pies in the country to come from a restaurant specializing in home-baked British goods, The Pie Store might just prove you wrong.”
Where Is The Pie Store?
Specifically, Tasting Table named the Key Lime Pie from this Montclair establishment as the one you must try. They typically specialize in British meat pies in addition to grocery options. You can buy their popular Key Lime Pies in three different size variations. There’s a mini, small, or large. Customers are required to stop into the store to buy one these pies.
In a similar feature by Yelp! another unique pie was named as the best in the state. The cherry almond pie from the Pie Lady Café in Moorestown was highlighted here.
