Pie... savory pie. I had never heard of such thing until moving to DC in May and Jeremy and I discovered a wonderful little pie shop. Right around the corner and a few blocks from our apartment. What could be better?
Dangerously Delicious is situated on H St. in what is called the Atlas District. Though there are a plethora of other dining options along the strip, I've been to Dangerously Delicious about 10 times in 6 months and it never ceases to amaze me.
Honestly, who could imagine sausage, tomato and fennel going into a pie shell and coming out as utopia? It's true. Shortened as just "STF" on the chalkboard menu, it had us wondering what could it possibly be? So on a hunch one Spring evening, we ordered an STF and a SMOG (steak, mushroom, onion, gruyere), and we actually had a FIGHT over this pie. I even stormed out on Jeremy, because he finished MY STF! For shame. I think some feminine hormones were definitely part of the equation. But don't come between a woman and her pie.

Dangerously Delicious Pie Shop
1339 H. Street NE
Washington, DC 20002
(202) 398-7437
STF pie: $7.50 a slice
"We take sweet and hot Italian sausage, roasted fennel and tomatoes add some salt and pepper and throw it into a pie. With most other savory pies being creamy this one is on the lighter side but don't let that fool you this pie still packs a punch!" Umm yeah.
I definitely recommend a few dashes of that tasty Cholula hot sauce for an extra kick. Wash it all down with a glass bottle of Coke for $1.50 and you'll be begging for more. You can go back for seconds, but I don't usually have room. This is one shop where you definitely want to save room for dessert. How could you not, at a pie shop?
The Baltimore Bomb is the only sweet pie I've tasted, but next time I do save room, I'll order up another. It's divine, literally. The description alone had me at hello: crush up a Berger cookie, pour in fresh vanilla custard, and throw in the oven. Hello!
"Therefore I commended mirth, because there was no good for a man under the sun, but to eat, and drink, and be merry, and that he should take nothing else with him of his labour in the days of his life, which God hath given him under the sun." -Ecclesiastes 8:15
