Whole ripe, succulent strawberries... Topped with pillowy light whipped cream with just a hint of sweetness... Encased in a flaky, buttery crust. I had never heard of strawberry cream pie until my cravings lead me to the Flying Saucer Pie Company. A friend and I trekked down to the pie shop to find it sitting in not such a great area, looking not much like a pie shop I would want to eat in. This happens to not be a problem because there are no tables, therefore you have to order your pie and take it with you anyway. As we entered, I found a plethora of homemade pies staring me in the face. After squealing and doing a little dance I proceeded to order 4 slices: strawberry cream, keylime, apple, and pecan, each at 2.50 a slice The strawberry cream pie made my eyes roll to the back of my head... I love that they use whole strawberries and, unlike many other pies, the fruit filling does go everywhere. Their pies are as they should be, all one entity, not a bunch of pieces that fall apart.

My only complaint is that I could tell they used normal lime in their keylime. Keylime should have a slight bitterness and it was a bit too sweet. Their pecan and apple pies were also a tad too sweet for me but I'm not huge on a lot of sugar in my dessert anyway. Otherwise, the crust is to die for and you can really taste the love in it (it's that taste that comes after the butter).
