Absolutely divine. Hands down best pie crust out there. First the filling has to be made absolutely incredible and they put it in pie crusts that literally beg for prayer. So so good! I'm full off one pie and would binge just to have more!!!

I'm so happy to finally try this place. The staff was super friendly and took the time to explain that the savory pies are eaten like sandwiches and the sweet pies are sold by the slice or as a whole pie. Based on their recommendation, I got the steak and cheese pie for lunch and a slice of apple pie for later. The only drawback is that this is take out only, so on a cold day, I had to eat in my car, which made for a bit of a mess due to the flaky pie crust. The pie was delicious, served hot, and really hit the spot. I can't wait to get home and try the apple pie. If you are in Church Hill, you must stop by and try their pies.

Great handpies and large alike. The online ordering system is very easy to use. Super unique pies (worth the high price). Be sure to grab a hand pie as a snack if you go. I was very impressed by the vegan and vegetarian options.

Chileeeee! When I say these pie's are in fact Proper!!! I mean it! I've had about 70 percent of their menu and I haven't found a miss yet. Based on the GOD LEVEL PASTRY everything is made out of you literally can't lose here. I just need to express how next level good the pastry is. The golden brown firmness that is their pastry is the only love I ever want to envelope my mouth over and over again! 10,000 out of 10

The best pie place I have ever tried! My family and I tried a variety of both savory and sweet pies, and loved every one of them. For the savory pies, we tried the steak and cheese, chili bean and cheese, and spinach, feta, and chickpea. They were all amazing and the crust was delicious. It's hard to say which one was my favorite as they were all very good. For the sweet pies, we tried the chocolate chess, coconut cream, pear and cranberry streusel, and the strawberry rhubarb. Again, amazing crust and amazing filling for each of the pies. My favorite was probably the pear and cranberry streusel. The pies reheat well and still tasted delicious. Price point is a tad higher than other pie places I've gone to, but it's probably due to the quality of ingredients they use. Hope to visit this place again next time we're in Richmond!

We visited Proper Pies the day before Thanksgiving, and even though the line was long (as expected), it was SO worth the wait! Every single item we tried was absolutely incredible. We shared a few different pies, including the Spinach & Chickpea Pie, the Sausage Roll, Butter Chicken Pie, and a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie for dessert. Everything was delicious, but the Sausage Roll was definitely our favorite -- flaky, savory, and perfectly seasoned. 10/10 recommend! The Spinach & Chickpea Pie was a great vegetarian option, packed with flavor and hearty filling, while the Butter Chicken Pie had just the right amount of spice and creamy goodness. And for dessert, the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie was the perfect balance of sweet and tart -- a true delight. Despite the long line, the service was efficient and friendly, and the pies were so fresh and flavorful that we completely forgot about the wait. Whether you're looking for a savory meal or a sweet treat, Proper Pies nails it. Highly recommend it and will definitely be back for more!

Proper Pie was one of the most highly recommended RVA must-eats I read about online, so I had to try it. It's a tiny shop that only takes walk-up orders. They have two small tables outside and there is also a park conveniently located not even a block away. They have an assortment of savory and sweet New Zealand style personal and whole pies. Based on the three pies I tried, I'm sure everything is terrific. I went for the steak and cheese, their most popular savory pie, which is filled with diced steak in an onion gravy mixed with American cheese. Buttery, flaky crust with a warm, hearty, savory gravy. Now that is heaven on earth. To satisfy my sweet tooth, I got the banoffee and mock turtle (vegan) pies. The banoffee is their bestseller sweet pie and I now know why and am so on board. It's got beautiful and thick layers of English soft toffee, bananas, whipped cream, topped off with cocoa powder, all sitting on top of an Anzac biscuit crust. I was iffy about how tasty a vegan pie would be, but the person who took my order convinced me that the mock turtle was worth trying. It's got an Oreo crust, almond butter mousse filling, topped with Rice Krispies cereal, chocolate ganache, and crushed almonds. Very delicious in its own right. Proper Pie is a special spot to return to over and over again if you are ever in RVA. They know what they're doing, that's for sure.

This is a Richmond must try - and we legit recommend this to everyone when they ask for RVA food recs! We have been here countless times and have enjoyed every single thing we have ever tried! Post-covid it's just a window service so I recommend picking it up and walking across the street to the park to eat. Also, do not leave without getting both a savory and sweet pie!

Not only are these the best sweet AND savory pies in have ever had, the customer service was amazing. We literally could barely make it to the car before digging in!! The pumpkin caramel was soooo good, the raspberry buttermilk is a classic but the truest stars were the pork rojo and thai chicken curry savory pies. The pie crust is something I am dreaming of. I cannot sing their praises enough. I will be going back sooner rather than later!!

I was craving some savory pies and I decided to stop at my favorite pie place, Proper Pie. I asked what were the most popular savory pies, and the staff recommended the chicken chipotle and the steak and cheese. The chicken chipotle was really tasty, though I was hoping for a bit more of a kick. Sadly, the steak and cheese didn't do it for me. I wasn't into the gravy-like flavor, the gravy was too thick, and to be honest I couldn't even taste the cheese. I didn't get a sweet pie this time around. However, if you're wondering what to order please, please, please go for the Banoffee pie--it's amazing! Overall, I always have a good time here. I like to try different pies to see what I like. It's quick to order and the staff is super friendly.
