REVIEW: HOUSE OF PIES in Houston

It was after some late night/early morning binge that I first discovered House of Pies in Houston and always make an effort to make a quick stop when I am in the Bayou City.

Since there are no more Bennigan’s in San Antonio, saw the Monte Cristo Sandwich on the menu and thought I’d give it a try.  Understandably, a place called House of Pies probably isn’t going to make the best Monte Cristo out there.  Sadly, that was the case here.  I barely ate a fourth of my sandwich as it was greasy and cold and slimy all at once.  Do not recommend it.

Got a slice of the French Blackbottom to go; always good---always fresh.  

This place is on Westheimer in Houston, so next time you are in H Town.  Give their pies a try.  I think the other food is not so good unless you are drunk.

PS

I would love to open up my own pie shop here in San Antonio.  I am mulling over these two names:  Pies in the House of Love or Pie Town. 

First name was stolen from Was Not Was – Spy in the House of Love.   Enjoy.

Second name was stolen from that little town in New Mexico:  Pie Town.

PPS

Now I’m in a pie baking mood.  Mmmmm Cherry!
