If you’re looking for pies, The Right Slice is your pick. Located in Puhi Industrial Park, the Right Slice is home to more than 40 different flavors of sweet pies and 25 different flavors of savory pies.
Sandy Poehnelt, owner of The Right Slice, has updated the menu and listed some recent changes to the store.
“We’ve figured things out since 2011,” Poehnelt said. “We’ve got a great staff now. We also had a lot of flexibility, working on a lot of new flavors.”
Poehnelt said that bakery has worked a lot on the pot pie flavors.
“We didn’t do savory pies until we moved to this location,” she said. “Now that we’ve been here for a while, we have an idea of what people want.”
Poehnelt said that the bakery rotates through its regular flavors and also tries to bake new items: “This week we did pork and pumpkin, kalua pork and cabbage and we’re working on Portuguese bean soup. We wanna try to have something for everyone.”
Poehnelt hired local girl Jayleen Mira, who has worked on and assisted with some of the local flavors.
Poehnelt said that they like to try out what people like. She added that the bakery changes the special flavor two to three times a week; depending on how busy it is.
“Our customers have been really supportive and they’re really good in giving us a lot of input,” Poehnelt said. “We’ve got a lot of support from the community, and they let their friends know about us. That’s been so helpful to us because we’re tucked back her in the industrial park.”
With a plethora of different pies, prices vary by slice, type and size. For sweet pies, a slice is $5 for any flavor; a baby slice, four to six servings, is $16; and large deep-dish pies vary from $28 to $37 (depending on the flavor). Deep-dish pies are pre-order, but if you’re a walk-in and need the pie immediately, it’s a $38 flat fee. Also, if you order the pie and need to use the dish for a function, you pay a $10 deposit on the dish. You get the deposit back when you return the dish.
Savory pies are $7.75 for chicken, $8.95 for shepherd’s pie and $9.95 for seafood pies. Poehnelt said that savory pies are individual servings, six inch deep and come with a nice aluminum pan. Poehnelt also said that there are four flavors a day: chicken and shepherd’s pies served everyday and also a special and a vegetarian pie that changes throughout the week.
Poehnelt also hopes to have the store remodeled before Thanksgiving.
“When we get done, we’re gonna start carrying things that are hard to find or not offered on the island,” Poehnelt said. “One day a week, we’ll have something other than pie. We’re gonna do biscuits and gravy; we’re working on developing different types of quiche; and I would like to do angel food cake, which is something from my family background.”
Poehnelt hopes, in the next year, to have more non-pie options everyday. She hopes to get through the holiday rush and get started on producing these foods in the beginning of the year.
