I got a gorgeous strawberry rhubarb pie from the Palo Alto pop up and it was not great. It was gorgeous, yes, but the pie’s lattice top was way too thick, mushy, and tasted like raw dough even though the top was nicely browned. The filling was good, but I would not pay this much for a not-so-fresh pie with scant filling and raw dough. The bottom was undercooked also. I was expecting a buttery, flaky crust. It’s really too bad because the pie was visually stunning. The taste of it reminded me of a Trader Joe’s baked item— not freshly made; slightly stale, and skimpy on the fruit. Probably the worst pie I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot of pie! I even looked on the box to see if there were some baking directions I might have missed, but there were none. It was that bad.
