House of Pies

07/18/2008 Posted by Mila108

I really enjoyed this place. Went for breakfast on a Sunday morning. We were seated right away and searved right away. The atmosphere was pleasant. I couldn't complain about the food, it was good. Haven't tried the pie yet. Maybe next time.

Pros: convenient

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

hungry? hungover? want to get seated and eat right away? this place is food you. good hashbrowns, solid breakfast. negligable atmosphere. relatively hipster free, pajama pants-friendly.

Pros: fast, relaxed, pie

Cons: crying baby

That this place is the default for hollywood diner-mongers says that it is good, but not shockingly good. You'll never leave amazed, but you'll never leave particularly dissatisfied, either. Please don't consider this a bad review, just know what to expect.

Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed. The food is okay, the place is dated the wait staff is helpful, although not much english understood anymore, but the food is above average with the salads being a true stand out. If you do pie I hear it's worth splurging on their fresh pies.

Pros: Decent food, some parking, always available seating

Cons: dated decor, spanglish staff who can be indifferent

Although I'm a pure Italian (and very proud to be) I love to leave in LA as often as I can as well as I adore to go to the House of Pies as often as I can. Believe it or not, there I can find a delicious cappuccino Italian style with may other "delicatezze" for my breakfast. If you go there Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays ask to be waited by Alexia: she is the best in suggesting, recommending, waiting and sometimes in listening to your problems!

Pros: Recently remodeled , Good value for money , Very friendly

Cons: rowded on Sundays

Seat yourself! House of Pies serves the best selection of pies of any restaurant I've been to. Each pie is absolutely delicious, sometimes too rich to eat one by yourself. The service is average, similar to what you would expect at Denny's, but the desserts makes up for it. I recommend the pecan pie. I would also recommend their mozzarella sticks if you don't mind the fat and calories! The coffee is great also, as long as it's fresh! Great atmosphere for high school and college students.

Pros: Convenient parking, inexpensive, great pies & coffee

Cons: Terrible decor

recognize this is the house of PIES...not the house of food... i personally wouldnt order a meal from this place. unless you like bland and luke warm. the pie is great. pecan, coconut cream, et al open very late (24 hrs? not sure about that...)

Pros: great pie, open late, cheap

Cons: bad food

The fresh strawberry cream pie is great and the diner food is decent, but the service is excruciatingly slow. Once, it took over an hour for my friends and I to get just a few slices of pie, even after we reminded 3 of the waitresses who passed by. Eventually, our waitress showed up and she told us that she had forgotten about us. Nice. Go if you want food that's better than Denny's, but skip it if you're hungry--you might be waiting for quite a while.

Pros: Decent Pies, Patio/outside dining

Cons: Slow as hell service, Smokers on patio
