Piefalootin — Local services in Garland

27 years. For 27 years I have lived a life devoid of much happiness. Everyday I wake up in a bed that too small, and go to a job that barely pays me enough for the hours of labor I put into it. I get lectured by those around me that are older than me about how I need to grow up, and teased by those younger than me for being an old man now. Everyday I can feel myself slowly drifting into the endless abyss that is this life and this universe. But suddenly, I find myself drawn to a glimmer of hope into the distance. I reach as far as I can, pleading for one last moment to bring me a sliver of joy I can cherish for the remainder I have in this world. I reach and reach until I come to the conclusion, that this universe is endless. It is pie. For the mathematical equation is never ending. Much like the joy I found that sweet Wednesday when I found myself walking into the Piefalootin, as a lost and weary traveler in this journey we call life. When I walked in, I was on a mission to find a baked item for my sisters birthday. I believed I would find a full and monotonous pie shop serving staples such as pecan pie. Instead, I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices and intricate details of each pie. Pies from every facet of the fruit kingdom. Pies with fillings from exotic far off lands and decorated as if Ancient Roman sculptures themselves had been hand carved by the staff at piefalootin. After much amazement and critical thinking, I finally decided upon the Banoffee pie. Quickly, I requested for it to be packaged up and I retreated home to prepare for my younger sisters birthday. When the moment came later that night, my entire families eyes gleamed in excitement. The first piece of the pie was bestowed upon my sister, followed the lesser members of my family, until finally, I piece of pie. I took one bite and instantly knew that life was not meaningless for this pie was brilliant. A pie crust topped with ripe bananas, caramel, dulce de leche coffee whipped cream, and finally pecans and more caramel. Every bite I took made me want to take more and more until finally, my slice was gone. For 27 years I lived a life devoid of much happiness. This pie gave me a spark I never knew I could find before. But then, that too was gone…..that is, until I realized half a pie still remained! The spark had turned into a full flame! Happiness is now with me, and maybe, for once, I’ll be able to discover the true meaning to life. This pie was a transcendental experience and I wish for all to experience the endless joy I received in eating this...

I've been following Piefalootin on Instagram for 6 months and drooling over their fresh baked pies. We were finally in the Piefalootin area of Garland, and we were excited to finally get that pie! It was an hour before closing, and while there was still pie, the variety is limited since they were made daily. My husband and I were greeted by the owners son, Conner, who was super friendly. He offered us sample forks of coconut cream pie and pecan pie. OMG! They melt in your mouth. We both wanted to try a range of pies, so we chose the option called Flight, which consisted of your choice 3 smaller slices of pie. I chose a blueberry buttermilk, pecan, and coconut pie. My husband chose Pecan, Keylime, and Sawdust pie. These were packaged up in a nice little container so we could take them home to enjoy since we live about 25 miles away. We had a nice conversation and learned that the pie shop opened 5 years ago. Conner even gave us 2 ice packs for travel to keep pies cool. Well, that was an unexpected extra touch of TLC. We are in Texas, and it was about 98 degrees out. How thoughtful was that!!! We did get a piece of apple crumb pie to share in the car. One bite of that reminded me of my mother's apple pie she would make for us. I haven't had those true combinations of flavors in a long, long time. My suggestion is that life is short. Get the pie! Every pie of the variety pack I got was delicious. Homemade crust and pies like mom used to make. Except it's Conners mom! Piefalootin was worth every single bite after the long 6-month wait. Shop was easy to find and is a cute, homey vibe. They have tables for pie eatin' and coffee drinking there and even have an area that has closed doors and table for large group of pie eatin' with others. Restroom is available, which is unisex. Very clean. Overall, it was a pleasurable pie...

Lemon Berry Blues Laminated pie dough, graham crust. Lush lemon curd, rich berry jam. Light, crisp, perfectly balanced.

The Lemon Berry Blues pie is a triumph of craftsmanship, blending technique with a bold yet refined flavor profile. The laminated pie dough is executed with precision each golden layer crisply defined, shattering on impact yet melting into buttery perfection. Atop, the graham crust offers a rustic, nutty contrast, creating a tactile interplay of textures that is both surprising and satisfying.

At the heart of this creation is a luscious lemon/blueberry curd crowned with a berry jam deeply concentrated, rich, and bursting with fruit-forward intensity. The jam, smooth yet vibrant, carries a bold sweetness that perfectly complements the tart citrus tang of the lemon. This duet of flavors strikes a harmonious balance, neither too sweet nor too sharp, inviting each bite to linger just a little longer on the palate.

Visually, the pie is stunning a radiant burst of golden crust and blueberry filling, punctuated by the jewel-like sheen of the berry jam. The color palette is warm and inviting, an elegant contrast of bright and dark tones that captures the essence of summer in a slice.

Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of Lemon Berry Blues is its lightness. Despite its layered construction and complex flavors, it never feels heavy or cloying. Instead, it refreshes and delights, leaving one deeply satisfied but never overwhelmed.

Ultimately, this is a pie that transcends expectations a thoughtful blend of textures and flavors, elevated by the skillful hand that crafted it. A true dessert to savor...
