END OF AN ERA: NYC's first pie shop closes!!!
20% DISCOUNT (extended until 12/24)
G'day Meat (& Vege) Pie Aficionados...
STORE CLOSING come get DUB PIES cheaper than ever!
As many of you avid pie fans may know, Red Hook (and by extension West Carroll Gardens/Columbia Waterfront) was, a few years ago, touted as being the next Williamsburg. We never believed the hype but we have no doubt that if several things had panned out differently it would certainly have become a more active, vibrant and interesting neighborhood much more quickly than it is at the moment.
That's not to say the area doesn't have a lot to offer it does. Indeed, we'll always have a soft spot for the neighborhood and we may consider having a presence there again one day. But with conditions as they are, we've decided not to commit to a lease renewal at the Columbia Street location a.k.a. LET THEM EAT PIE.
It's a sad day. It was New York City's first down under style pie shop. In its 'hey day' it turned over more than twice what it does now, in pies and coffee. We tried to hold on for the turn of the economy, the oft promised improvements in local infrastructure etc etc - but it simply makes more sense to find a busier storefront to re-locate to which is what we plan to do. Watch this space!
LET THEM EAT PIE will only be open this week on Wednesday (all day) and Thursday (until 3pm) we invite you to come and say goodbye with/to us at this store and as a last hurrah we're offering hot pies at $4 each and frozen pies to take home for the holidays at $3.50 each!! (Our lowest price point ever!)
This offer is only good if you come to the store it doesn't extend to delivery, sorry.
One piece of good news is that we plan to continue offering free delivery to the area as our production space is in Red Hook proper (sorry, we don't have a a storefront there you'll need to come to The Pie Shop in Windsor Terrace for your Flat Whites and Aussie/Kiwi groceries/snacks.) There may be a short teething period as we set this up please bear with us.
