    Pizza is pie, pie is better than cake.

    You know... you can make your own pie, which'll likely be far better than anything you can purchase from a shop. The key is to start by making your own crust... frozen shells just don't work, and graham cracker chells are only good for cream pies.

    Case in point: this guy I knew who ran a BBQ place in Tidewater occasionally would offer slices of pecan pie made by his wife to regular customers. It wasn't a regular item because the cost was prohibitive. What she did was mix several pounds of ground pecans into the filling... absolutely nobody does that, because who is gonna wanna pay $10 for a slice of pie? Pecans are expensive. Best pie I ever had.

    Another example is a pie made from freshly picked raspberries and blackberries... nothing compares to fresh berries... most places use canned pie filling or maybe bulk frozen berries.....

    Here's another tip... when making apple pie, don't overspice it, use several types of apple and a few pears, then put turbinado sugar on the top crust.

    Homemade pies are best.

    The hardest part is making the crust. Chopping up the filling then preheating the oven and setting a timer is nothing. I can't make a proper crust either... you need a rolling pin, marble slab, mixer, mixing bowl, and wax paper before you even get started. I have a mixing bowl and a broken oven. No pie for me.

    Lard is the secret for the flakiest homemade pie crust.

    My Grandma used to make the BEST rhubarb pie I've ever had.

    Pies are one more item you can make, in the smoker.
