"If you do happen to find yourself in Red Hook, do try to get here. Because the crispy graham cracker crust, filled with custardy, creamy, sweet tart, key lime goodness is worth it. The secret: freshly squeezed key lime juice. And only key limes, with their distinctive aroma and high acidity. Makes all the difference."

"Freshly squeezed key lime juice is just part of what imbues every bite of these pies with a taste of Florida sunshine. Steve Tarpin is a Florida native who's been making pies in Brooklyn for more than 20 years—always, always, always using Florida key lime juice squeezed fresh right before the pies are made."
