"In general, I'm drawn to the stickier, gloppier pie varieties, and Paredez has these suckers down. The Salty Chocolate Chess and the Toasted Almond Chess: all gooey delights, whether served warm with a bit a ice cream or straight out of the box from the fridge, eaten like a candy bar."

"You can’t go wrong with any of them, but one of the shop’s most exceptional options is the toasted almond chess pie. A burnished top tiled with sliced almonds gives way to a gooey interior and – if you order the black bottom version – a layer of dark chocolate ganache."

"Save apple, pumpkin and pecan for Thanksgiving. Come Valentine’s Day, Petee’s Salty Chocolate Chess (topped with a pair of pastry hearts!) is the only pie you’ll need."
