Vince was at a catered dinner the other day and he brought home his dessert for me . . I guess it was kinda like a doggy bag for the wife! It was peach pie and I wasn’t prepared to be overly impressed because you know I’m more of a homemade kind of girl and most storebought or “pre-fab” as I call them, prepared items don’t get me real excited. The first bite of that pie and I was in pie heaven! I asked Vince . . can you please ask the caterer where he got these pies? Vince said “Probably some restaurant supply company and we can’t get them.” I encouraged him to ask . . you never know.
After talking to the caterer, Vince said . . “You won’t believe this. The pies are from Kroger!”
Last night was the last of the catered dinners and there were two pies left over so Vince bought one and brought it home.
Private Select Pie
I think Vince said they’re in the deli and at our store, you may have to ask for them. He also thinks they have apple, cherry and peach.
Peach pie is one of my very favorites (but I know . . I say that about everything!).
Peach Pie
The crust is good. It’s thicker like I like my crusts and it’s kinda sweet and chewy . . like I like my crusts. The filling is just delicious and there are lots of peaches and they’re firm and not mushy.
Peach Pie
Add a little Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream and it’s so good. Maybe I’ll be wishing I’d never learned about these pies.
I have no idea how much they cost but I’m betting . . I would pay more! 🙂

While the pie looks nice, I’ve never liked peaches unless they were fresh off the tree, so this would not have tempted me at all….now if you’re talking apple or cherry, that could be a different story altogether! 🙂

Crud! I was at our Kroger/Fred Meyer store this morning and I do love peach pie. Oh well, today I’m making blueberry pie. I did pick up some ice cream.

Peach is my favorite pie of all – dang no Kroger stores here anymore. ;-(
Quilterbee says
$ 7.99. They also have pies $ 3.99. It’s the same pie but it has less fruit. I asked the woman who works in the bakery. I’ve had cherry apple and peach. They are all good. There chocolate chip muffins are great. I don’t care for the other muffins flavors they carry. I never buy bake good from any of the grocery chains except for Kroger pies and the chocolate chip muffins.

It’s probably a good thing we don’t have Kroger’s around here any more… 🙂
Sherrill says
Oh for cryin’ out loud, Judy!!!! Why do you post stuff like this?! It’s SO not right! Now I have to run down to Kroger in a few minutes and buy a peach pie! UGH 🙁
Nancy says
Those pies look so good! I am allergic to most fruit unless it’s cooked, so a nice warm slice of peach pie will do. Going to Kroger tomorrow!

I have had good ones from HEB and Randalls. Makes me wonder why I bake anymore!

Judy as an employee of a Kroger Deli I wrote to Kroger to inform them of your post. Then I had a piece of Private Select Peach Pie. My husband loves the Raspberry Pie.
These pies freeze well, so if you have way too much just pop it in the freezer. We let ours thaw at room temperature.
Dar in MO says
Judy, it looks declicious!! Maybe with Kroger knowing of your post and how you love it so, they will send you a case. Or ask you to sample their other pies and give your impressions. Who knows, this might become a part time job on the side for you!! lol
Diana says
I like quite a few of the Private Selection items from Kroger/City Market. They are so yummy !
