Three Places to Eat Sweet & Savory Pies in San Diego County
Sweet or savory, nothing says 'comfort' like pie.
These three local eateries will warm you up from the inside when cooler weather kindles thoughts of pie.
The Old-School Classic: Chicken Pie Dinner
The no-frills San Diego Chicken Pie Shop in North Park is famous for its chicken pie dinner. The pie mixes shredded turkey and chicken under a basic crust, with chicken gravy ladled over both the whipped potatoes and the pie. The dinner also includes a slice of sweet pie for dessert.

The New-School Classic: Steak & Ale Pie
A hip vibe prevails at Pop Pie Co. in University Heights, where the steak and ale pie seduces with tangy beef and mushrooms under a flaky pastry.
The chicken pot pie, with pearl onions, is robust, while the Aussie meat pie features a silky mince. Sweet hand pies include guava and Mexican chocolate.

For dessert, follow it up with a pecan pie or a slice of the local favorite: butter crust apple.
