Mystipies On Yelp.com (06/02/2007)

Mystipies' (finally) yets 'Yelp'd' on the popular food rating site, Yelp.com. Site member, Johnny J writes in his 5 star rating (the highest available):

"...I can't believe no one has yelped Mystipies yet. We (my better half and I) stumbled these very tasty morsels when we were at Mission Pie. we were picking up some dessert for later and K. saw them and had to have one for later. We choose the chicken and mushroom. we had eaten so much that day that when my fiance brought it out I didn't think I could even try a bite. But I did!! Ok, Mystipies are like hand held pot pies but x 1000. The crust was buttery and flaky but didn't fall apart in my hands. The filing was even more tasty. Anyone looking for a good snack should stop by Mission Pie and pick one up. I don't know where else is carrying them yet but I bet they catch on."

Small enough to be eaten like a sandwich, the pies were often a staple for Ms. McCann while growing up in Cape Town, South Africa. "Pies were my mom's treats for doing my chores," she says. "I would wake up on Sunday morning, and I would smell beef pie and floor polish."
