Pie-O-Mine/Greens - A Salad Lovers Dream Place
/
{A large salad at Greens, my Mom and I split this and still couldn't finish it all. They offer two sizes small and large}
While visiting New York City a few years ago, I fell in love with Chop't ,a chain restaurant located throughout the Northeast. Every time I go back to the City I have to make a stop there at least once. Chop't is a creative salad company, basically its a place where you go for super delicious custom salads. The closest place I could find to this here in Buffalo, is Newbury Street, that was up until a couple weeks ago!
My Mom and I were having a casual conversation one day when she started to tell me about this place that has custom salads and personalized brick oven pizza's. After a few moments of processing what she was telling me, I asked her what was the name of the place, and she said Pie-O-Mine and Greens. Located on Transit Rd. in East Amherst, this place is locally owned and operated {which makes me love it even more}. So, of course I met my Mom and her friend Kelly for lunch last week to compare and check it out. Outside of the pizza option, it is the exact same concept as Chop't. You may be thinking this isn't a big deal, but for those who eat salads often or just want to spice it up, having a custom salad restaurant that can suggest different items to try or pair together is great!
{we also split a pizza too, because I wanted to see how they were. Those are delicious as well}
I am so happy to finally find a place that I can go to here at home. I do wish there was another location closer to home or downtown however {haha}. In the meantime, I will make due with taking a 20-25 minute drive when I need to fill my taste buds with a really good salad option. Thanks Mom and Kelly for introducing me to this place!!
Until next time...
