Best Slices Of Pie In L.A.

There’s absolutely nothing humble about our love for a sweet slice of pie! Whether it’s apple, pecan, rhubarb (love that word), cherry, pumpkin (only in November), key lime… pie is the comfort food to dig into with two forks, a friend, and your shoes kicked under the table. So, we put in the hours (‘twas a torturous task! Not.) and kissed the calories hello at three of our favorite L.A. pie post-ups for a new old fashioned take on the timeless dessert. Here’s the yummy scoop on where to go, who to know, and what to order!

The Pie ‘n Burger Truck:
This pie will come to you! The beloved South Pasadena diner jumped on the food truck bandwagon last fall serving up pies at just $3 bucks a pop. Pies on wheels? Yes, please!

Pie n Burger, 913 East California Boulevard (at South Lake Avenue); 626-795-1123.

The Pie Hole:
Wondering if they live up to their name? Four words: Mac and Cheese Pie. This Art District tart house is the late night (or early morning) detour your gin and tonic ridden tastes buds will thank you for later. Nursing a sweet tooth? Try the Maple Custard Pie. Heaven.
