Acme Pie Company

Great pies. Can't go wrong Plus they have pinball machines. New location is so much better for parking.

Great little pie shop in Arlington. Great selection and a lot of amazing pinball games to play. The owner and staff are also very helpful in donating stuff with our PTA for school.

So there are many amazing small businesses in Arlington and Acme Pie is among the best for entertainment via Pin Ball and Desserts, coffee and Bethany. Bethany was working when we visited and let me say she is a wonderful breath of beautiful personality and customer service. Bethany is enthusiastic about the Acme Pie shop and the love Sol puts into each creation. We had a few different slices and not one disappointed. The kids and parents that came in really had a great time on the Pin Ball machines. Will definitely be visiting again.

The pie was absolutely delicious. It was so rich and sweet. The gentleman who was working behind the counter was very friendly and helpful.

Delicious at the old place and delicious at the new. The owner is incredibly affable and accommodating, and the new space is awesome. It’s a great successor to Rappahanock Cafe who was here before in terms of vibe. Only thing that would make it perfect is if the coffee came with free refills 😅

PIE and PINBALL in a retro setting. Good food; good times. Family friendly. The maps might say it closed, but it just moved down the street to 2406 Columbia Pike. HIGHLY recommend trying the savory pies…chicken pot pie, mac & cheese, there’s one that is like a diner breakfast that’s AMAZING. Also, try an apple pie MILKSHAKE…you’ll thank me later.

Great pie and I love all the different flavor options! My favorite is the cherry streusel pie for sure. The staff is very friendly and it's great that the new location has the same charm with vintage pinball machines and games. The construction on Columbia Pike has made walk-in business a bit of a nightmare, but I hope they do well closer to Penrose rather than sandwiched between shops I don't see many people visiting. The new location has parking available around back that hopefully helps bring in more motorist customers too.

Excellent variety! Savory and sweet options with pie styles I’ve never heard of (chocolate chess? Delicious!). Buttery flaky crusts that pair well with a cuppa or some coffee. Highly recommend this local, independently-owned purveyor of pies.

Moved to the DMV at the beginning of February and I've been here twice now. The first time I got two slices: orange something and a turtle type. Sorry I can't remember their actual name. Fail. The orange.....delicious. Very subtle on the orange since I was expecting more for a key-lime punch, but it still didn't disappoint! The turtle type one was amazing. Nothing else to say ahhaha. The second time I got the Mac n chee and bacon savory and the shoofly. It was Pi day so they were out of everything else. Glad I got there when I did. The savory pie....yes please! The shoofly....I've never had it before. I love molasses and thought I would love this. Nope, I was wrong. I can say it doesn't taste good because I think that's just the pie. Kind of like how not everyone likes sweet potato pie. If you like shoofly, you'll love it. If you don't, you wont. The ambiance is wonderful and there are pinball games to play. Great place! I'll be back once they open their new location. RIP current location. They have a great variety of sweet and savory pies. That gets 5 stars by itself.

A bit disappointed. I was excited to try this place - especially since they have pinball and I thought it would be fun to play while my wife picked pie, but that is just not how it goes here. There is a sign as you walk in that says pinball is not free. No worries I loaded up on quarters before I came. But it's 10 bucks to play for an hour. Seriously? I was just looking for a quick game or 2. Bought over 100$ in pies and they want 10$ for some pinball? The worker here was disinterested and best. Savory pie was good. Apple was kind of dry, same with the others we got for a party which is disappointing. Probably will not return. MB bakery is better in quality and price.

I've been meaning to write this for a while so it's long overdue. After reading all the reviews about Acme, I am honestly not sure if we caught them on a bad day but for us, it was not worth the price. The pies that we got were dry and did NOT live up to the hype. We got a pecan and apple pie for variety based on the employee's recommendations. Sadly, neither were liked by any of our party of 12 people. I'd consider coming back to try another, however, the price and taste of both pies were a deterrent to be honest. For the price/reputation, we expected something better quality and tasting.

Editing rating since it was the special circumstances that made for not the best experience. However the pies themselves were good and the staff seemed to be putting in their best effort, so will perhaps have to come back on a normal day -- We went on pi day since they had 3.14 slices in store. The line was really long and people were grabbing entire pies and flavors were running out very quickly. We got there about 10 mins after they opened and it took us an hour to get food. It would've been nice if they had had a limit to ensure more people were able to try some and so the line could move a bit faster The pies in store were also refrigerated so we ended up taking it home to heat it up. The slices themselves were good but perhaps not worth the effort. The staff seemed a little stressed which is fair.

Apple pie for July is just the kind of pie that we were looking for. We had been here a couple of times in the past, and their pies are definitely the gourmet type. Baked fresh every day, and they have just the right amount of ingredients. So many times in the past when we would get pies from the grocery store, they would either be too sweet, or the crust would be super hard. I also appreciate that here it's a locally owned business, and I think the guy remembers me from shopping here before. We've tried their apple strussel pie, and key lime pies before and they e been outstanding. We will continue to shop here for as long as we remain in the area.

Cool little pie shop with a bunch of pinball machines. Tried the Apple and Blackberry pies. The Apple was good but nothing special which is a little disappointing from a specialty pie shop. The blackberry on the other hand was very unique, deep flavor from spices in the filling, worth trying out. Decently priced around $6/slice. Overall cute spot and worth a visit if you're in the area at one of the nearby restaurants and looking for a sweet treat

What a cool place! Have you ever thought of combining a pie shop with an arcade? Look no further than Acme. Can't decide which pie slices you want? Get a sampler platter of 8 slices for $40. We got the super chunk nut crunch pie which had a mix of things in it and the watermelon peach. We asked the woman working which she recommended and she walked us through a few options and was very helpful in describing how they come up with the flavors and if it is a pie that they have often. The watermelon peach was such a fun mixture I had never seen before, and it was incredible. They also have a coconut custard with almonds and chocolate and a blueberry with lemon curd that I will be returning to try. When you walk in on the left there are a number of arcade games. You have to buy a monthly pass or day pass if you'd like to play.

My family and I were craving pie, so my husband decided to get us some. I can't say much about the ambiance or service since I wasn't there, but the pie was really good. However, I was soon met with a terrible stomach ache, and my family was met with that too. It wasn't a coincidence--I assume the food was contaminated.

Great pies in a fun atmosphere. The pie options are really interesting! Tried a watermelon peach one which I've never seen before. Would love to come back and try more pies. The pinball games are an honor system best we can tell. There is an online QR code to buy your day pass. It was reasonable and great for kids who are just learning pinball. The games are really fun.

I was introduced to Acme during the pandemic when they were doing their local delivery pie deals because it just brought joy to my life in a sad sad time. Now years later, I still love this Columbia Pike staple. I've never had a bad pie here so you really can't go wrong, but I think my #1 fave is their Strawberry rhubarb, closely followed by the chocolate maple pecan. Tart cherry is also great. Just checked out the new location yesterday and dare I say it might be even better than the last one?! I don't know why but for some reason it feels even more inviting than before. We are planning to try the savory pies next; could be a great weeknight dinner option. Anyway y'all please check out this awesome pie shop. It might not be as fancy as those North Arlington pinkies up dessert places but I promise you the flavor far exceeds them.

Our daughter brought over a Strawberry Rhubarb pie. The crust was nearly raw. It was not a par-baked pie. We heated it up in the toaster oven to try to salvage it. Still not great, but at least edible. Very disappointed in the pie, which cost many times more than a grocery store pie and was not even as good.

The chocolate chess pie had a decent flavor but lacked the richness and depth I expected. It was enjoyable, but not memorable. Similarly, the cherry pie was average, with a standard crust and filling that didn't stand out. Overall, both pies were mediocre and didn't leave a lasting impression. It reminded us of store bought pie. The customer service was amazing and the worker answered all of our questions. She was very helpful. It is a nice small shop. We loved the pinball machines.

I came here while visiting family in Arlington and boy am I glad I did. There was ample parking in the parking lot and some great pies! I ordered the key lime pie and walnut chocolate pie. OMG! They were sooo good, the lady who helped me also gave me a free pie on the house, THANK YOU for that. I honestly wanted to try a slice of each pie but wifey wasn't going to allow me to do that but i'll be back to try at least 3 more slices of different pies. Key Lime- If you love sour this is the one for you. The key lime is very strong and for people who love sour, you'll enjoy this one. Walnut Chocolate Pie- If you're a fan of pecan pie then you're going to love this one. Honestly I really enjoyed it because it wasn't sweet like normal pecan pie. Anyhoo, no matter what pie or slice you try, you're going to love this spot. Trust me on that.

Ambiance: 5/5 - Its a small space but I like the pinball machines that give it a retro vibe in the place. Bar seats were comfortable to eat on as well, so a solid spot for a quick bite. Price: 4.5/5 - $6 for a slice and $2 for ice cream is honestly not bad in terms of pricing especially for the quality you get. I thought the price was very reasonable especially given its a store in Arlington, VA. Food: 4.5/5 - We got the mixed berry pie (excuse the picture as we asked to have it warmed up and it got soft). It was not overly sweet and the crust was solid but also soft. I thought it was complimented with the vanilla ice cream so well and I highly recommend getting vanilla ice cream as well as the pie slice. I'd love to try some of their other ones as well. Service: 5/5 - There was one woman working at the time we went and she was super nice and friendly. She was quick to serve as well even with plenty of customers coming in. Great service!

Amazing pies! Not overly sweet fillings and the crust is just perfect. Even the pecan pie was not sickeningly sweet and not gooey. Definitely coming back here for my pie fix.

Cute store with pinball machines and friendly service. Best pies I've ever had! There's a good selection of pie slices, mini pies and full size pies to buy. I've tried several types and all are high quality, attractive and flavorful. My favorite is the key lime pie-OMG!

Updated review: STILL 5/5 Pies: Crust is still amazing as always. Their pies aren't too sweet, so eating a slice doesn't feel like a struggle. Their fruit pies are particularly special. I had the seasonal blackberry peach today and it was a dream! I could taste some peaches, but the proportions were so well done it tasted like a brand new fruit creation! Pinball machines??: I didn't realize they installed pinball machines! They're super old school and free to play. I definitely spent 20 mins enjoying it Went home with quiche, a chilled banoffee pie, and a slice of sour cherry. Thanks Acme for being phenomenal--I'm thrilled everytime I get a bite here

Pies and pinball! Pretty fun. The sweet pies are very delicious and varied. There weren't many savory pies. Get there early for the best selection.

I love pie and I really wanted to love this place, but the pie was just mediocre. Pie Sisters (was in Georgetown but closed) and the Pie shop in DC are so much better.the service was very friendly. I may go back and try the pinball.

I was in the mood for desert and a place to read the paper (yes I occasionally still read the paper on Sundays.) Acme easily fulfilled both needs. It was a quiet Sunday inside but lots of people came in and out for take out orders. I bellied up to the bar and enjoyed a great slice of classic Apple Pie to enjoy with my copy of Barron's. Will definitely make a return visit to try more varieties and to experience the friendly service with my weekly paper.

This spot is a retro oasis in a vanishing once personable area but now is being crushed. Step into ACME and a cocoon of memories awaits

Acme Pie has excellent pies! We came here twice now and got 4 different pies - all of which were very delicious! The pies here taste homemade and not premade like the ones you can buy at the grocery store. The staff was also super nice and friendly. The inside of the place looks very cute - hopefully after this pandemic, we can enjoy eating inside the pie house. I am very glad they came to the Columbia Pike area and we really love supporting small businesses in the Pike. I highly recommend this place, it's affordable and it's also great quality. Splurge a bit on an actually delicious pie versus getting a mehhh one from the grocery store.

In short, delicious dessert and savory pies, pin ball machines, worth a visit. They have multiple pie offerings, beverages, coffee options, and other desserts such as cookie ice cream sandwiches. There were 9-12 types of pie on display when we walked in, plus at least that many that were on a list to peruse, plus the pies in the fridge display. Sampled an array of savory and dessert pies ranging from hot to cold. Everything we tried was tasty, standouts being the breakfast pie, the tex mex chili pie, whiskey apple, blackberry peach and lemon. Mentioning a few personal standouts- -the crust was mentioned in other reviews and this DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The crumb and flake were superb. On the crust edges you can actually visualize the layers in the crust. The bottum crust were not soggy on any of the pies and were baked to a golden color. When i turned the slice on its side to look at the crust the pie held together well and did not fall apart. I did want to mention that none of their pie fillings were even in the slightest bit runny- sometimes a fruit pie will be more liquid due to the nature of the particular fruit. I noticed this right away on the blackberry peach pie. I assume this contributes to the beautiful non soggy bottum crusts. Whoever is making the pie crusts is a serious pie crust magician. -breakfast pie- if Quiche and hashbrowns had a baby, this would be the outcome. The potatoes were well cooked and not over baked. The egg filling on this pie was a great compliment to the potatoes and crust with a rich silky texture with no hint of egg rubberiness that can happen with egg based pies. We took a piece home with us for breakfast thr next day and it was just as good the next day. Cookie ice cream sandwich- a Not pie offering that we tried- this got positive reviews from the other people in our party. There is a generous amount of ice cream for filling and the edges are rolled in mini chocolate chips. Beverages- there is a good variety of offerings ranging from coffee to root beer/ cream soda to chocolate milk. They carry bottled water and soda as well. Atmosphere- the pie shop has multiple pinball machines. The machines are immaculately restored and is a great perk of going to the pie shop. You are able to purchase a day pass which gives you the opportunity to play to your hearts content. Even the tech obsessed folks in our party played and appreciated the pinball machines. Perfect for a parent who is looking to show their kid a classic pinball machine, or for friendly pinball rivalry. There are some high top tables, counter seating, and some typical table seats. It's a pretty snug space. I'd like to mention that there is a very clean bathroom in the back. The person helping us was very helpful with making sure we knew of all of the options that were available and was welcoming. Parking- street parking is available. You are able to pay using Spot Hero. Suggestion- it would be great to be able to purchase the pie crust dough. Personal preference- adding birch beer to your beverage selection would be a nice offering. If you are a dessert pie afficionado- do yourself a favor and visit this shop. If you're not a sweet pie fan, the savory offerings are amazing and worth a stop on their own.

This is the standard by which all others should be judged. I ordered 4 pies for my wife's birthday. Oh my! If you ever want to get into a fight.....just take the last piece. This is some seriously good pie.

The pie is excellent. However, they don't post their prices online so I am posting their prices here: Sweet Pie (Whole 10'') = $34 Sweet Pie Mini (7") = $14 Swee Pie Slice = $6 Savory Pie (Whole 10") = $40 Savory Pie Mini (7") = $14 Savory Pie Slice = $6

My husband and I wanted to have pies at our wedding instead of cake. We tried out another place before we went to Acme, and were unimpressed. As soon as we did a tasting at Acme though, but we were blown away by all their pies. We loved even the flavors we didn't think we'd be interested in. The owner, Sol, was so easy to work with, and gave us guidance to help us figure out which pies to order. He then was nice enough to deliver our order to our wedding venue. When the wedding day came, the pies were a huge hit!

Yum!!! I'm not normally a fan of pie (except for pumpkin!) and I especially don't like pie crust. Acme Pie Co is amazing though and the crust was so tasty and I loved it. We got two slices for $5.50 each, one blackberry and one strawberry rhubarb. They are the perfect amount of sweet, and the right balance of gooey and crispy. Fantastic. You have to give it a try!

The only experience I've had with Acme Pie so far is with their Cookies -- which I discovered at a library function -- they were THE BEST!!! I plan to stop by one of these days to peruse their pies and bring one home.

The most delicious pies I've ever had! Most highly recommended!!! Try something savory and take something sweet home for later.

Gorgeous Key Lime pie for a birthday. Great service, easy parking. Thanks for making the celebration special!

After my initial review, Acme Pie Co. messaged me through Yelp to apologize about not updating the time change on their website and FB (it has been updated). Then went above and beyond to first, see if they could deliver a pie on the spot for my mother! And continued to follow-up to make sure I was a satisfied customer. I gotta say--most businesses would have stopped at the apology... I had coffee and the vegan mixed berries pie. The pie leaves you wanting more. It was the right amount of crunchy on the outside with an extremely heavy-handed mixed berries filling inside, so much so, that it was oozing out as you chewed --leaving you licking your fingers. Topped off the experience with a freshly brewed coffee. I am not sure the brand of coffee they used, but it is dry and less acidic than the Starbucks around the corner. I look forward to tasting their seasonal collection in the months to come. Maybe we should make a Yelp/Meetup event out of it?

Pie is ok and overpriced! Flavors are bland. Crust is soft. Blueberry with lemon curd had no lemon flavor at all and not a lot of actual fruit. Disappointing.

I'm obsessed with Acme Pie. I keep meaning to post more pictures, but I usually just my pie as soon as a I get it, so there's that. It's really cute inside and the staff is really friendly. I've had the apple, the cherry, the sour cherry, the blackberry, the peach, chocolate pecan, and more. My favorites are definitely the chocolate pecan, which is not overly sweet. Pecan pie is my all-time favorite. Then, I really like the peach. I'm allergic to fresh peaches, so I need to get my fill from pies (hey, it's fruit, right?). The crusts are flaky, crisp, and good. I really can't overstate how much I love this place being in my neighborhood and how delicious it is.

Solid 3.5 stars! Finally got to try Acme pies! I'm glad to have this place here for the convenience of picking up dessert for dinner. IMHO, the pies here just don't cut it compared to homemade pie but it's good enough with ice cream on top for a weekday evening. The storefront and layout is really nice - only thing is the display counter is too small to showcase all the pies. It was a little annoying to have to ask about the 8 or so pies in the back. They do have VEGAN pies and quiche!!! We ordered the blackberry pie and sour cherry pie to try. As other folks have mentioned, the crust is SO good! Buttery, flavorful, crunchy all in one!! The blackberry pie had great flavor - I taste cinnamon, nutmeg - but it was not chunky & had a gelatin texture which is a let down. Nothing better than delicious, whole fruit pie in the summer. We don't want that jelly ish. Sour cherry was pretty delicious though not as tart as a traditionally sour cherry pie. For $6 a slice, we just expected a little better. It's great to have Acme so close as we are limited for dessert options on Columbia Pike! Tips: parking in small lot next to giant. Limited street parking. Across from Columbia Pike Farmers Market.

Had a slice of blueberry lemon and while it was good, for $6, it was pretty small. I'd guess about 1/8 of a pie. The crust was good, but more crumbly than flakey. I'd guess that's somewhat of a matter of preference and I was OK with it, but my wife didn't care for it. I may go back and try another flavor, but I think they're a little overpriced or undersized.

Really wanted some pie so looked up Acme. Went late in the day and the staff member was very friendly - offering help but also giving us time to decide. The place was quiet and clean, laid out nicely. The pies were mixed. Husband really liked his, especially the crust. I didn't like how thick the crust was.

This place will convince you that you NEED pie! ;) I was new to ACME this year and hope spreading the word can bring the same joy to others. First... what a lovely, inviting space. I could smell amazing things right through my mask, music was great, staff welcoming, and I thought were it not COVID, I would love to sit down and spend time at one of their cozy tables. The pie. Oh my goodness. I didn't think I liked pecans and then I tried their pecan chocolate... amazing!! I don't even know how to describe it. Every last one of the pies we've tried had excellent, balanced flavors and texture. Apple and pumpkin are traditionally my favorites and I used to bypass crust for the good stuff in the middle, but not on these pies... it's ALL good stuff. None of that fried wonton, cardboardy, waste-of-space stuff... really tasty crust. BTW, the apple is insanely fresh-tasting, the pumpkin is so smooth and perfectly spiced... The baker even made a special request sweet potato pie for a birthday present that was a real hit (and beautiful) too! ACME is my new motivation to exercise so I can stop in regularly to try their different flavors. I should note a few practical things. Parking is super easy, so you don't have to worry about carefully carrying your pies a distance to load them in the car. They also make a full size and a smaller size pie (in addition to serving slices), which I think is great for sampling, smaller households, gift-giving, etc.

This is where you go to have the best pie ever. The owner has been making pies for upscale restaurants for years and now has a store front. All his ingredients are fresh and local . No artificial ingredients here.

Lured into joining a freind here tonight with the promise "there will be pie". That promise was met and exceeded. The pie was AWESOME. The perfect crust restrained a delicious blend of blueberry and lemon curd with a light crumble top. This wasn't some Tastykake blueberry monstrosity overwhelmed with cane sugar but a master pastry treat perfectly sweetened but still full of natural fruit taste. Damn you women! I will now need to return and sample the full menu to fill my empty COVID quarantined life Seriously though, good pie

Terrible customer service from business owner. I tell my story as honest as I am and then to have the owner publicly argue with me. I am not the first review this owner argues with. The owner of the pie shop is not presenting a welcoming environment. But while they are showing here is if something goes wrong they will argue with you instead of fixing it.

Quaint little pie shop is a hidden gem in Arlington, thank goodness we found it using yelp. The staff ( Anabelle and Lila ) were friendly and welcoming, had great suggestions. The other locals in the shop made our little stop for pie very nice. They sat and chatted with us visitors as they had puzzle night ( Friday night routine ) . It was a lovely choice for a little slice of heaven.

I am visiting and stumbled upon the best pie I've had in the country. Good ice cream for the pie and a great pie flavor variety. Earned my first yelp review.

Came in 30 mins before closing on a Thursday. We were greeted nicely. There was a couple ahead of us ordering a bunch of slices. Older women comes from around the corner and asks what pie we want. "Two slices of key lime pie please." Mind you, there were only about three slices left of the pie, and still, so close to closing shop for the day, the woman cuts two extremely TINY and unevenly measured slices of pie for $15. The flavor was pretty good but we felt cheated. When I'm charged $6+ dollars for a slice of pie, I expect a healthy slice!

Recently returned from living overseas during the COVID pandemic and stumbled across the Acme Soup Line offer via their Facebook page. And I am soooo glad that I did. The soup, bread and pie were fantastic! Much needed comfort food. Looking forward to trying another pie, although the apple was so delicious. So glad I came across this local business and looking forward to supporting whenever I return to the area.

I just finished a wonderful treat! Last night, my wife and I passed the ACME Pie Co. store on Columbia Pike and there was a family enjoying desert in the window and the atmosphere looked so inviting that I just pulled over....and boy am I glad that I did. I had a home baked personal Porto share with my bride and now I wish I had kept it all to myself! Can't wait to go back for more!

Absolutely amazing key lime pie!!! Recently purchased a pie for my husband birthday. He is diehard southern and loves key lime pie. This did not disappoint! So tasty! Highly recommend! Amazing customer service as well!

Shockingly, 9 out 10 homes in the DC area unaware they are in pie crisis mode.* Thankfully, Acme Pie Co is on a mission to answer this problem. Don't be another sad statistic! It's just one of those things. You don't know what you are missing out on until you've tried. I know. I was the "you" not too long ago. A while back I saw Acme Pie Co previously and thought to myself, "I'll have to try this place sometime". That day finally came this past weekend. Now I realize if I had not waited so long, it's possible I could have tried all their pies by now. We are talking soft, flaky crusts. Delicious fillings balanced perfectly with fruit. The apple pie, as an example, sparkles with a dusting of sugar. It's not just yummy, it's a show stopper. The key lime pie has an amazing graham cracker style crust. The lime flavor shines through as the star, nicely garnished with shredded coconut. I attempted to take a photo to share, however half the pie was devoured between the push and release of the camera button. Damage was done by too many forks attacking the pies at once. This meant the photo didn't do it justice. That's the last time I share an APC pie. *This statistic is not based on census data.

Came here for the second shot...um, YUM. I tried their blueberry custard pie a la mode and it was so good I'm having my SO go and pick up more. It was absolutely delicious warmed up and is easily a new favorite of mine.

I love these pies! I've pretty much had all of the pies and they're just amazingly delicious. I love them so much that I gave them to my clients for a Christmas gift. I highly recommend the coconut custard, mixed berry and sour cherry pie.
