Even for you chocolate lovers out there or those who claim to not have a sweet tooth; everyone loves pie during the holidays. Whether its apple, pumpkin, or some crazy variation your grandmother cooked up, a nice slice of pie is the perfect way to end (or begin) your thanksgiving meal. And thanks to Los Angele bakeries and restaurants such as these, you won’t have to worry about rolling out the pie crust or waiting for it to cool before digging in.

Linn’s Fruit Bin Farmstore
Though Angelenos may have to travel farther than usual to get a slice of this pie, the infamous TV show host Marc Summers will tell you that the drive is worth the slice. Featured on Food Network’s “Best Thing I Ever Ate,” a slice of the olalliebrry pie with a scoop of ice cream is mere perfection. These berries provide a sweet, yet tart flavor to the pie, bringing locals and not-so-locals to the Cambria location. If you are looking to serve a pie this Thanksgiving with a twist, this is it.
