"There are lots of jokes involving pies; they’re funnier than other foods, somehow."
-- The New York Times, June 15, 2009


OUR RATINGS





One slice: You’re in danger of suffering pie withdrawal, and no alternatives in sight.



Two slices: You used to think this was good pie, before American Pieways set you straight.




Three slices: If pies came out of your oven this tasty, you’d start a bakery.




Four slices: Buy another slice to go, ’cause this’ll still be good in the morning.



Five slices: Whoa! Redraw that vacation itinerary to include this pie.





Six slices: Member of the Holy Church of the Flaky Crust.

GUEST REVIEW
 
By BILL HANNA
 
You would think it would be easy to find a good slice of key lime pie on a three-day drive through the Florida Keys, but it's not as easy as you think. Oh, there are plenty of places advertising key lime this and key lime that. But many of these "Key Lime Factory" outlets that are found up and down the Keys seem to sell everything but pie. And when you do get a slice, it's nothing to write americanpieways.com about.

     But that made the slice Laura and I tried at the Green Turtle Inn all the more rewarding. Not too tart. Not too sweet, and drizzled in raspberry and kiwi sauce. Be warned this isn't a cheap
slice of pie ($8!), and the Green Turtle Inn isn't some humble roadside bakery. This is a very nice restaurant with fresh seafood, pasta and other dishes that are worth the splurge and has received its share of acclaim on the Internet. 

     If you stumble in fresh off the water like we did, you will feel a little underdressed. But don't let that worry you; it is the laidback Keys after all.
