"Although Austin is still without its branch of the Texas pie mecca, but fans of the dessert can head to the original location of the shop out in antiquing haven Round Top.

Round up a few friends and get the pie sampler, which comes with four different slices topped with an unholy amount of vanilla ice cream.Driving distance from Austin: approximately 1 hour and 22 minutes" - Nadia Chaudhury
