Editorial Review for House of Pies – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Families, old timers, club kids and cops congregate on this trendy stretch of Vermont Avenue for inexpensive, country kitchen-style meals, desserts and bottomless cups of coffee. The always-busy dining room is brightly lit and colorful with floral carpeting, brass booth accents and faux ferns. An expansive menu includes buttermilk pancakes, open-faced turkey sandwiches and spaghetti and meatballs. But the highlight is the flaky-crust pie, available in fruit, chocolate, cream and meringue.

If you like pie, like I do, this is the place to go. They have a large selection, although be forwarned that some pies on their list are "seasonal." The pies are really the best thing about this restaurant, which is really more of a diner. They have a parking lot, which is a major plus! I think of it more as a dessert place than anything else. The rest of the food menu is standard diner fare.
Pros: The pies! The pies! The pies! Oh, and the parking!
Cons: average food menu

The pies alone are worth the jaunt to this Los Angeles institution. While the House of Pies serves breakfast all day and has a lunch/dinner menu packed with American classics like burgers, roast beef, and mashed potatoes, it's best to save room for dessert. Try a seasonal offering like creamy pumpkin or opt for the chocolate cream pie that has actual slices of banana embedded in the filling. Another favorite is their super creamy cheesecakes, topped with fresh fruit like strawberries. You can also pick up one House of Pie's confections to take home, including their pies, cheesecakes, and cookies.
Pros: Parking lot, Cozy atmosphere, Convenient Location
Cons: Slow service
