I’ve always ordered in advance to make sure they have what I’m looking for. My wife grew up in Canandaigua, and is very familiar with Monica’s and the Naples Grape scene. So I occasionally get her a grape or peach pie; one of each if I can’t decide. The chicken pot pie makes an amazing quick and easy dinner too. Keep a few in the freezer. Store bought brands cannot compete. Highly recommended - if you’re even near Naples, you should stop in! I’ve been eating Stouffers for lunch or dinner lately- chicken pot pies (cpp), and they are edible if not great. I realize that is not a glowing review, but Stouffers is not the source I came here to review. Monica’s is the best source I,ve found for pies of any sort.

Why consume empty calories without the satisfaction? Thanks...

Of course we did survey multiple people throughout our trip to determine who owned the 'best' grape pie in the area; the votes were split and we tried Monica's due to it's proximity to our cabin... and the whole Food Network appearance drew me a little closer.
Never had grape pie, nor did we hear about it before our trip, so didn't set any particular expectations but this turned out to be a little too sweet for our palettes and not something we'd rave about (glad to have tried it though!). On the other hand, their caramel apple nut crunch pie was AMAZING. We both took one back home for our respective families and it was such a hit. Only wish I bought...
