Can anyone recommend where I can order a great pot pie? Buttery, flaky pastry toppings, quality meat, and savory sauces are a must. Thank you!

Great crust, generous chicken portions and topped with mashed potatos. Or, you could get a take out at Harrows in Reading or Medford.

It was very tasty and full of chicken. I will definitely be going back! http://chickenpie.com/ Sun Nov 08 16:17:05 -0800 2009 5165642 12671 maillard 3 5165765 while neither of these is a traditional "enclosed" pie, both New England Soup Factory and Strip-T's in Watertown make a very good "soupy" chicken pot pie served with light flaky biscuits on top. Sun Nov 08 16:28:26 -0800 2009 5165733 14809 teezeetoo 3 5173477 Harrows is our stand-by for a good winter dinner. We order the "chicken only" pie and pick it up on the way home from work. The night before we cook some carrots and potatoes. Scoop the pie over the veggies and there is a great meal. If I can sneak them in I also saute some 'shrooms.

I use to like Harrows but now find that there isn't any sauce just thick gloppy pasty stuff. Sun Nov 08 16:33:56 -0800 2009 5165592 66655 catsmeow 1 5165849 have you tried Petsi Pies? a little light on the sauce iirc but you might find it to your liking Sun Nov 08 17:18:09 -0800 2009 5165592 13161 barleywino 2 5165945 I second this. I agree on the slight lack of sauce but delicious.

Wed Nov 11 09:01:48 -0800 2009 5165592 267675 pemt 1 5172769 My bf swears by the one at O'Hara's in Newton Wed Nov 11 09:10:00 -0800 2009 5165592 180029 fmcoxe6188 2 5172802 O'Hara's has excellent food in general.

They describe the crust as having sour cream and chive, and I thought it was a good crust, but I didn't eat all of it, as I was sort of watching the carbs. The other pie eater scraped the bowl clean. There was lots of turkey in the pie. The crust was flaky and it had a great sauce. It was not a huge serving for fifteen dollars,but more than you would want at lunch.
