Pie Box - Black Canyon City, Arizona

Tesia C.

We came here on Memorial Day weekend around Noon and a lot of the pie slices were sold out. Come early for all the flavors!

The Pie Box is for take out pie slices, whole pies, pastries, and fudge. The restaurant is inside the general store in the middle. If the Pie Box is out of the flavor you’re looking for, you may be able to find it in the general store.

There are cute little spots outside on the patio and behind Pie Box to enjoy your food.

The lemon meringue was the best I’ve ever had. It came from the fridge and was refreshing for a hot day. 🍋☀️Full of fresh lemon flavor and a good balance between sweet and tart. The crust had a good crumb and wasn’t too heavy or thick.

The pecan pie was pretty sweet. It had fresh pecans and the filling wasn’t too heavy. Would be great with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream!

If you’re looking for a bigger slice of pie that’s very rich and sweet, this may not be for you!

Oh wow. You have this beautiful rustic bakery that focuses on pies, right by the highway. It's on a barn on a farm type of setting - not pretentious and rather nostalgic. The decors, the vibe, are all authentic and reflects the past in a welcoming way.

Head over to the slice fridge and grab various flavors of pies. The bourbon pecan is to die for. Perfect blend of pecans, the gooey stuff, cinammon, and crunch. It is literally one of the best pecan pies I've tasted. The coconut macaroons were also crisp and chewy - brilliantly done. Just with these two, I already was in a happy mood.

I don't think they used fresh peaches for the peach pie but oh well, you can't have everything (or perhaps it is not peach season).

The only catch - $7 per slice of pie. Yes, it's quite pricey. But I'd have to say, it is worth it. If you're driving up/down to the north of Phoenix, Pie Box is a must stop. Just do it. You'll be grateful that you did.

This place is a family tradition for holidays and to regroup as family over dinner. This tradition has been in our family for about 50 years.
1. Restaurant-all the food is good, breakfast is amazing with in door and out door seating.
All the servers are very professional and overall just wholesome good people making a living. If you’re from out of town, this is the spot you most definitely need to visit.
2. Pie Box- quality pies and during the holidays for pick up their process is a piece of pie. Preorder a head of time folks! Giving the cure time to prepare as they bake thousands and thousands of pies. Pick them up by checking in at the center of the pie box where they will ask you for your name and how many pies you have ordered, and they will mark you off on the sheet as present, you will be given a number while another member of the crew gathers your order. They will yell your order out when it’s ready. Completely coffee is available as you wait a “reasonable” amount of time. The later you arrive the busier it is. Don’t forget to take a picture with the John Deer tractor. Don’t forget to take a picture with your family and pies and post a review or send a personalized thank you letter as this crew spends the majority of the holidays away from their family working 100 hour weeks providing us quality pies and a simple thank you can go a long ways for this crew.
Family environment and darn good service.
We love you Pie Box. Thank you for all your hard work.

This place came recommended by a local as being a staple place to visit. However, coming from the south the pies were a little basic. Although I enjoyed the variety of options to choose from, looks can be deceiving. Some of the pies missed the wow factor. We ordered apple pie, key lime pie, strawberry rhubarb, and a sticky bun. They keep the slice of pies in the fridge, so luckily enough they had a microwave on site for me to warm my pie as I don't like it cold. Overall, we loved the atmosphere, but not sure it was the best pie I have ever had.

The apple pie I had was better than Julian Pie in California- I have considered that my gold standard for 30 years- glad I tried this place. Their apple pie was a little more tart, a little more dense, a little more fresh, and you can taste the high ingredient quality ie butter and sugars in each bite. Crust perfectly crumbly and well balanced with the amount of filling. Every bite was beautiful. Thank you.

The BEST pie ever! To get the full selection the Pie Box has to offer one needs to get here early. However, the selection of pies we had was sufficient! There is covered and outdoor seating. The shop is small so if you have strollers or small children knowing what you want and having 1 person pay would help. Highly recommended!

We stopped on our way into town, to get a pie for a birthday celebration. We had a little sticker shock when we found the pies cost $28. But we figured they must be really good. We chose a banana cream pie. I would say the flavor was average, and I was disappointed in the ratio of filling vs whipped cream on top. I don’t think we’ll go again.
