14 of L.A.’s best bakeries for holiday pies

Share via

The final flourish for Thanksgiving is invariably pie. You might be making yours from scratch. Or maybe you want to put the task of baking holiday pies in the hands of a professional. If so, you’re in luck ... but the clock is ticking. Make your Thanksgiving pie orders for pickup before the big day.

Los Angeles is a city of terrific bakeries and bakers, and ice cream makers too. Yes, there is ice cream pie for Thanksgiving (including plant-based ice cream), and there is cheesecake and pumpkin-churro sweet buns. Traditional pies include sorghum-sweetenedpecan pie, kabocha pie, banana cream pie and apple caramel crumble pie. It’s pies galore.

Or, if you want to get into the kitchen and roll out dough, you should definitely check out these recipes from former cooking columnist Ben Mims for apple, pumpkin and not-too-sweet pecan pie.

(Ishnoelle Richardson)

Baking With Ish

San Gabriel Valley Bakery $$
Ishnoelle Chin Richardson, who operates his small bakery operation at the Blossom Market Hall, has one of the most impressive pastry counters in the city. Many of his treats are inspired by his Filipino background, celebrating ingredients like ube, coconut and fish sauce in his bakes. The earthy, nutty flavor of ube is the star of Richardson’s ube pumpkin pie, with a layer of bright purple ube custard over pumpkin pie custard with Chantilly cream and a crunchy pumpkin seed tuile. Richardson is taking holiday orders for the ube pumpkin pie ($60), a sticky rice pie with corn and jackfruit ($60), ube cheese jackfruit pie ($60), caramel apple with fish sauce pie ($60), ube cheese pie ($55), blue corn bibingka cheese pie ($60) and more, through Nov. 17 or until he sells out.

Slices of key lime, salted caramel apple crumble, bourbon pecan and and pumpkin cream cheese.
(Cindy Carcamo / Los Angeles Times)

Pop Pie

Costa Mesa Bakery $$
When it comes to pies, a good crust is crucial. I was pleasantly surprised when I bit into a slice of pumpkin cream cheese pie from Pop Pie Co. in a tiny storefront in Costa Mesa. The smooth pumpkin custard infused with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and clove was a perfect companion to its beautiful buttery crust. And it wasn’t just the pumpkin pie. The all-butter crust on all of the restaurant’s pies is formidable. The salted caramel apple pie is the bestseller and I can see why. Its old-fashioned oat crumble topping is a perfect accompaniment to the tangy fuji, red delicious, and granny smith apple filling. The creamy and zesty key lime pie was also delightful. The sweet and nutty bourbon pecan pie with molasses, sea salt and orange zest makes for a comforting fall option. Can’t make up your mind? Order a mix-and-match pie where you can try all of them — six slices for $38. If you’re partial to a particular flavor, you can get a whole 9-inch pie for $37. While you’re there, try one of the savory pies. My favorite is steak and ale with slow-braised beef with barley, mushrooms, carrots and dark ale gravy. Again, in an all-butter crust. Orders must be placed online by Nov. 22 for whole sweet pies, with pickup on Nov. 27 and 28. If you prefer to build your own pie with various mixed slices, you’ll have to go in person and purchase on the day of. Keep in mind, walk-in pies will be very limited and sold on a first-come, first-served basis. The shop has three additional locations in San Diego.

Kabocha pumpkin pie at Proof Bakery in Atwater Village.
(Proof Bakery)

Proof Bakery

Atwater Village Bakery $$
The kabocha pie at Proof Bakery is one of the best pumpkin pies in the city, with a filling that is well-spiced and so custardy it’s almost jiggly. The crust is buttery, crisp and well-browned even on the bottom and in the center. In addition to kabocha, double-crust apple pies and hojicha custard tarts are available to pre-order. So are mushroom galettes, apple sesame and vegan sweet potato miso loaves, dinner rolls and cornbread, plus more desserts: Basque cheesecake, caramel mocha layer cake and pistachio berry cake. You also can pre-order pastries such as croissants and cookies by the half-dozen. Order online for pickup on Nov. 27 and Nov. 28. Prices are $16 to $64.

搁é辫耻产濒颈辩耻别

Hancock Park French Bakery $$$
Picking up sweets from the bakery at 搁é辫耻产濒颈辩耻别 is always a pro move.

Sasha Piligian (formerly May Microbakery)

Echo Park Bakery $$
Sasha Piligian’s petal-and-fruit-topped, hyper-seasonal cakes are some of the most coveted desserts in L.A., and in fall the former Sqirl pastry chef’s gorgeous baked goods can be ordered as Thanksgiving pies. This year she’s offering three pies for the holiday, each priced at $70. You can secure a See Canyon-apple and fig leaf pie topped with brown sugar crumble; a sweet potato tahini pie that tops a Her Produce-sweet potato custard with salted tahini whip, both in a buttery Sonora-flour crust.

Hands hold out a plate with a sliced of whipped cheesecake with a red sauce.
(John Troxell)

Yangban

Downtown L.A. Korean American Jewish $$
Every meal at Katianna and John Hong’s Yangban restaurant in the Arts District inevitably ends with a slice of their whipped cheesecake. It doesn’t matter how much I’ve eaten for dinner. Or how I swear I couldn’t eat another bite. The cheesecake hits the table and it’s game on. It’s an excellent cheesecake, lighter and fluffier than most, thanks to a combination of whipped cream, whipped cream cheese and whipped coconut cream in the filling. The crust is ultra-buttery and crumbly, made with coconut biscuits, brown sugar and lots of roasted brown butter. It’s the welcome exclamation point at the end of any meal, including a holiday dinner. The Hongs are selling whole whipped cheesecakes ($64) along with Goguma custard pies made with roasted white sweet potato ($64) for the holidays. To order and schedule a pickup time at least three days in advance, email info@yangbanla.com.
