Boxo Derby Pies came today.
Each is 20 ounces. Packaged similar to selling in stores. Haven’t opened any yet. Hate the box of foam peanuts they were packed in.

PS - I was thinking last night how to freeze slices. I don't have a pie slices friendly freezer container.

I froze pumpkin pie slices at thanksgiving. I first wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then put them in freezer zip lock bags. I put them in the freezer spaced out so the slices wouldn't get squished...then when they were frozen I stacked them up. I defrosted slowly in the refrigerator and they came out very good (still put lots of whipped cream on them though).

My order's FedEx status hasn't changed from Pending since Saturday, so I sent screen shots of my Goldbelly order email confirmation and the FedEx shipping status page to Goldbelly through FB Messenger. Stellar service. They apologized, gave me the option of re-shipping or a credit, then sent me my new FedEx shipping number.

I gave away half a pie just now to my oldest kid. I’ll probably heat it up in the oven tonight for my first taste.
I’ve given away about half of my Goldbelly stuff this week so far.
Detroit pizza coming next week. Gotta finish the bagels before they come, so we’ll have space.
The whole pies will keep in good shape, in the freezer for 6 months. Each pie box is plastic wrap sealed. Not sure how much freezer space you have. I’d be tempted to put one pie in the fridge, the other in the freezer, unopened.
The pies weren’t refrigerated when shipped, and I think they said they could be unrefrigerated for 6 days or so. Those days will be about up by the time you get it.

Sigh. I think I now have two more days to figure out how to freeze pie slices. 😩
I haven’t owned plastic wrap or zip lock bags since the ‘90s and I don’t have restaurant food containers. I think I might cut the slices and use pieces of parchment paper to separate them and then... well, I’ll figure something out when the darned pies actually get here.

Buddy’s didn’t work with the Travelzoo voucher. Detroit Pizza Company, seems to have a good rating.

Just had another Mortgage Apple Cake...still quite excellent but this one was a little sweeter. Also noticed that letting a slice warm up to room temperature was way better than cold from the fridge... the frosting had sort of a lemony "Sprite" flavor when it was very cold that went away at room temperature.
Also tried the Chicken Pot Pie Bite / Spinach Artichoke Bite combo pack from Goldberg's Fine Foods. They were both very good but nothing about them so exceptional that I would pay that price to order them again. They're also quite small - really maybe 2 bites each. Wife preferred the Pot Pie Bites; I thought the spinach/artichoke were better.

Derby Pie
Tried the Derby pie this afternoon, warmed up. A fairly shallow pie. Tasty. Probably with ice cream it would be even better.
Likely worth about $10 a pie. Probably wouldn’t reorder, even with a $20 voucher.

Wow, I just edited my previous post intending to quote myself.
