Warm weather making you feel adventurous? We recommend going
down to 1804 Jamestown Road, no more than a ten-minute joyride away.
At the intersection of Jamestown and Ironbound roads is the Jamestown
Pie Company, a takeout restaurant worth the short trip from campus. Dry-erase boards flanking inside the store list drinks, specialty pies, and pie-by-the-slice
offerings of the day. On our visit, a friendly employee quickly
appeared, providing helpful assistance in making our food and pie
choices.
Although primarily known for its pies, Jamestown Pie Company offers
many other selections, including gourmet pizzas, pot pies, salads, and
sandwiches. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the food, with
12-inch gourmet pizzas averaging from $13-$15 for selections with
non-seafood toppings. A variety of sandwiches can be ordered before 5:00 pm,
each costing $7.95. Pot pies range in price from $6-$7.50 for 4-inch
wedges, while $14-$22 gets you a full 9-inch pie.
Dessert pies range from $13-$17, or you can get a substantial single
slice of the daily pies for $2.50. The Company offers a wide
variety of flavors, as well as specialty and seasonal pies.
We decided to sample the pizzas in addition to ordering dessert. A little overwhelmed with the variety of the gourmet selections,
we were advised by the staff member to try the Arno pizza, which we
ordered in the 12-inch size. This pizza was topped with white sauce,
chicken, mushrooms, spinach, garlic, and parmesan cheese. We also
ordered a chicken pot pie slice and chose to finish off our meal with
the "world famous" pecan pie and coconut custard pie, the
pie-by-the-slice offerings that day. We waited on the benches in the
outside hallway for about fifteen minutes for our food to arrive.
When our order was ready, we were greeted with a delightful
aroma coming from the pizza box. We began our feast with the chicken
pot pie, which at first glance may catch one off-guard, having no top
