Nice little independent shop that i've heard a lot about, but never actually stepped into until today. Pi-Bytes serves up "pies" of all kind, from savory to sweet.
I walked in and the store owner was rolling out pizza dough to make a calzone fresh for a customer ahead of me. Without skipping a beat, she explained the sweets to me and gave me recommendations on what I should try. FYI, all dessert bytes cost $5 each, plus tax
I settled on the Bailey's Bourbon White Chocolate pecan pi-byte ($5). This "bite" comes with real Jim beam bourbon AND Bailey's, but it's such a small amount that it only adds flavor and nothing else. This thing was layered with pecans on top, a thick sugary 'viscous' center on top of crust.
I did enjoy the flavor of the white chocolate pecan bite, but one thing I didn't like was it seemed to have been microwaved, as some spoonfuls were nice and warm, but others were downright cold. There was enough warm than cold however, but still, I would've liked for it to have been consistent.
There's a wide selection of dessert bytes to try, but for this particular day, there were only a few in stock, so you may want to call before you come to see what's available. Also, you should ask for their off menu bytes, as I was recommended a couple of bytes that weren't currently on the menu (that I took pictures of).
Pi-bytes has nice big square tables that have 4 chairs per table, but could easily seat double that at these large tables. There are three of those big tables, as well as seating for to go order guests.
Located off of Main street in Stone mountain, parking at Pi-bytes is across the street at a free parking lot shared by several businesses on this small strip. Getting into or out of it is easy enough, but during weekends or events, parking may be tough to come by.
Customer service was great, but at this moment, a one woman show (at least while I was there), so during a busy period, there could be delays and longer waiting times. Still, the one item I tried had good flavor, and was warm enough for me to enjoy.
If there was a 3.5 stars, this would be my rating, but since they don't, i'll definitely give that extra half star in hopes that pi-bytes continues to find success here. Stop by and support an independent business with a neat idea and good flavors!
