Delicious, surprisingly light on the stomach, in the textures and flavors have that homemade vibe. I got the chicken pot pie and the apple pie slice. The lady at the counter said that a lot of people say the apple pie slice is better than Julian's apple pie. I think that if it were as fresh as the Julian one, I would agree but because the slice tasted like it have been sitting there for at least six hours, maybe even overnight, I would just say that it's a really good slice of apple pie. It has a crumb topping, which is a nice addition which the Juliann apple pie does not have. The filling is chunky and very brown sugar-y which makes it very delicious. The ice cream was also good. The chicken pot pie was my favorite though. So warm, and the crust was nice and flaky. The portion is really good. That was my dinner and it was the perfect amount. The inside had a generous amount of chicken which I really appreciated overall. It's such a comforting food and I love that. It doesn't taste like it's 1,000,000 cal. It was $13 for the pot pie, which is a little much but considering that it's pretty big and filling as a meal I wouldn't say that it's toooo bad. read more

Unfortunately they took away my absolute favorite thing from the menu, the beloved Aussie pie. I was craving for an Aussie pie so bad but it's discontinued now. I used to go out of my way and get it, but nonetheless the other pies are also just as good. The classic chicken is my second fav, then followed by the green hog pie. The coffee here is also good, but the sausage roll was quite average. Service is always great, and food is always brought out hot and fresh. read more

Pop Pie - Classic Chicken Pot Pie and Sausage Roll - Desserts Near Me - San Diego, California

I'm honestly beyond frustrated with this place. If I'm spending $17+ on a small lunch--like a pot pie and a side--I should be able to pay with a simple $20 bill. The fact that you refuse to accept cash is ridiculous and completely out of touch. This isn't COVID-era policy anymore--there's no excuse for turning away legal tender. What makes it worse is that it seems like the same issue carries over to the ice cream shop next door (which I've heard is under the same ownership). So not only are your prices premium for very small portions, but you're also limiting how customers can pay. That's not customer-friendly--it's just controlling. And let's talk about the experience: high prices, no cash accepted, and no usable internet. You have Wi-Fi but won't share it with paying customers? That's honestly a slap in the face. You're basically saying "come spend your money here, but don't expect any convenience or basic accommodations." For a place charging these kinds of prices, the least you could do is make the experience easy and welcoming. Instead, it feels restrictive, overpriced, and disappointing. Definitely not worth it. Maybe next time I will go to BJ's. $14 you get a full meal and a dessert with ice cream. They have Internet and they take cash. read more

Update on the update. 3.14 always requires a visit to Pop Pie for their collab pies. I am a sucker for their collab pies - especially if they are featuring a creation from a Filipino chef. Sure, they have collabs with other small restaurants but I am here for those ones that touch my native tongue. Couple years ago they did a collab with Chef Holly on that Kare Kare pop pie. And this year they had a collab with Chef Tara Monsod with the Tinola pop pie. One of my favorite things to eat (and cook) is Tinola (with malunggay leaves). Both pies had me flabbergasted but the Tinola pop pie is yet my favorite only because that is one of ny favorite Filipino dishes - even though this version used spinach instead of malunggay leaves. It tasted exactly how Tinola should with a lovely pie crust of pop pie. Can we have more unique collabs that highly these amazing chefs and introduce other cultures into the mix of modern pot pie making?! read more

I can't believe it's my first visit to Pop Pie! I've been to the ice cream place that is affiliated with them next-door, but just never made it in. I picked up an order for takeout. Thought the interior was a really nice atmosphere and I love the open garage door on a nice day. They have a big variety of pies, cake, cakes, and pastries. I went with the mushroom and leek quiche, the chicken pot pie and a guava and cream cheese pastry. The quiche and the chicken pot pie were both good but TBH a bit too rich for my tastes, and that's saying something! The guava and cream cheese pastry was absolutely divine. I wish I would've taken a picture of it, it was as big as my hand and stuffed with the most fabulous guava purée. I'll definitely be back to try a few more things. read more

Tart. Creamy. Limey. - key lime pie I have always wanted to check this place out since I love Stella Jeans and this place is right next to it and owned by same owners. They have a bunch of savory pies and it looked delish esp the vegan version but they were kind of on the pricy side at 11/12$ a pop! which is kinda crazy for pie. I do appreciate how they have to include vegan options. For the sweet ones too they also had limited options I would've loved a banana cream pie or something of that sort, but when I went there were only two options so doesn't give me the vibe of a pie store. Anyways the key lime pie was delicious. I really liked the cream on top(I think it is made in house) and they pie itself is so goood. Very tart and refreshing perfect for a summer day or late night snack. It was so creamy and left a good mouth feel. It was my first time trying key lime pie and safe to say I was impressed! Service is very nice, the staff was friendly and answered all my questions! read more

This is the third Pop Pie I've been to and it's just as great as the others. Came here for their 3.14 Pi day special, which included three collaborations with other staple SD establishments, like Animae, the Friendly, and Tribute pizza. I really wanted to try the Animae collab which was a Filipino Tinola chicken pot pie but it was already sold out at 2pm unfortunately. No biggie, I was still excited about the Friendly smash burger pie collab which was still available. Waited about maybe 30 min in line at most. Also ordered the Green Hog and Cheese which I always get at their other locations. Wow!!! The Friendly collab was amazing. It was executed so well and such great flavor inside, with a nice crust. Same with the Green Hog. Highly recommend, you won't regret it! read more

Pop Pie is a simple but great concept: sweet and savory pies for every season. They also offer quiches and cookies. For the savory pies, they have comforting and familiar options, like classic chicken or steak and ale, and fun and interesting options, like red chile pork or roasted veggies and yellow curry. I have actually tried every non-seasonal pie except the steak & ale, and they have all been delicious. I think my favorite was the classic chicken, but the seasonal pie (red chile pork) I just tried this last week was a close second. It contains olives and potatoes, and probably would have paired well with their guava cream cheese pie. The first time I tried Pop Pie was on a date in 2022, but every time I've had it since was because a coworker would put in a lunch order during the week. So I haven't ordered a sweet pie yet due to not wanting to overeat on my lunch break, but next time I go with my fiancé we will likely share both a savory and a sweet pie. I'll probably also eventually get around to trying the sausage roll and quiches, but you definitely have to try one of their pot pies before anything else! It is a bit rich and heavy as a lunch, but I didn't regret it any time I've had it. I think they offer both whole and personal sizes for pies. I'm not sure how often they rotate through seasonal flavors, but this last week they were out of their turkey (Thanksgiving) pie, so maybe it's monthly. We will likely return next month to check back. read more

This was the second Pot Pie location I visited while I was in San Diego and it had the full selection of pies and options. I was delighted with the hand pies, particularly the guava and cheese one! However, I did feel the regular pies were somewhat overrated. See the breakdown below: 5/5 - Guava Cream Cheese Handpie: delicious balance of guava and cream cheese, very flaky, literally the perfect hand pie (kind of like a lighter crust version of a turnover). 4.5/5 - Lemon Curd & Mixed Berry Handpie: a great mix of berries with a nice lemon curd to tone down the sweetness a bit, a nice balance of flavors. 4.5/5 - Chocolate Pecan Chess Pie: delicious and had a nice balance of flavors, a good chocolate base, but not overly sugary. 3.5/5 - Key lime Pie: exactly what you'd expect from a classic staple, nothing super extraordinary, but not bad either. 3/5 - Pumpkin Pie: it was a little too sweet and not slightly dense like a heartier pumpkin pie. I found it. Somewhat. 2/5 - Salted Caramel Apple Crumble Pie: with the name alone my expectations were high, but unfortunately, this was the least interesting and least flavorful pie for them all! I would not recommend this pie at all. Food: 3.75/5 Coffee: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 2.5/5 Overall: 3.5/5 read more

Decided to gamble and chose this location in search delicious, fresh made pie. Fortunately this spot was open. There were two lines, one dedicated for prepaid and another for walk ins. It was organized and staffed with friendly people. I'd be happy too if I was getting holiday pay! Still as clean as I remembered it. Stacked high endless pies. I wouldn't hesitate to drop in again. Maybe next time I'll grab a chicken pot pie! Happy Thanksgiving Yelpers! Hope you all enjoy time when family and friends. read more

Got the key lime. Custard was really good, nice tartness and not too sweet. Good dollop of whipped cream. The only disappointment was the crust... I feel like it's gotta be graham cracker crust on a key lime, no?? Still, would probably eat again if in the area. Fast service in the evening after dinner. Most people stopping in were getting ice cream on the other side. Cute and comfortable spot. read more

My friend and I went in at 8pm and they told me they had just sold the last chicken one. So you can imagine the devastation and pain I was in after looking forward to a silly chicken pot pie all day after hours of fasting!!! Well as I was trying to settle on a different flavor, the ANGEL of a worker told me they're gonna bake more!!! I almost cried because sometimes, but really most times, a chicken pot pie can cure all. The best workers ever. Thank you!!!! Pot pie was delicious and warm and flavorful and crust was nice and delicate. Sides were the perfect combination. Everything was incredibly fresh. Plenty of seating inside and very clean. A water refill station which I'm very grateful they had!! Only street parking but that's expected for the area. read more

If you're able to park (or not) pop pie (and stella jean's) are a must get. Pop pie has options to appease the sweet tooth and our savory food lovers. Similar to stella jean's, pop pie has rotating seasonal offerings, though doesn't seem to run out as quickly as stella jean's. Occasionally, there are also collab items. The chicken pot pie is a staple (think warm hug, thanksgiving, rainy day in) - obviously get the pie warmed!! The savory pies are also available frozen to take home, though if you're local, reheating a baked one at home is also just as good. Handpies are available at times, and if you're craving porto's but it's kinda too far, their guava cheese pie is a decent sub but seasonal :/ read more

Wow! I was here 3 months ago, and the key lime was phenomenal. Today, the crust on that pie was absolutely horrible, wet, greasy, oil-hard crust. Just terrible! $8.50 for a smaller of pie.

When you are craving a warm comforting meal, nothing beats a pot pie and Pop Pie has some of the best pot pies, ever. I've been visiting this location for years and I have never been disappointed. On one of my first visits many years ago, I had wanted the apple pie, they were out of the pie so they recommended the coconut cream pie. I told the gentlemen I don't like coconut and he told me to try it and if I didn't like it then he would refund me. Well I tried it and it was surprisingly good.. I have not been disappointed yet by anything I have tried. My go-to pot pie is the Green Hog, I don't love a lot of veggies in my pot pie so this one is perfect for me. I've also tried their Pie day special previously which was a pulled pork BBQ Mac N Cheese that was very good. Recently I tried the special Rajas which I have already had twice and I am in love with. I really hope they keep it on the menu or keep bringing it back. I love the combination of the peppers, onion, corn and cheese in the fantastic all butter crust. It is simple and super tasty. The sides are pretty good too, but I tend to like the creamed corn over the mashed potatoes. I need a little salt added, but it is great. I enjoy the sweet pies as well, but I the savory pot pies are really special. So, if you are looking for a warm, comforting, tasty meal, Pop Pie will always provide it. read more

Pretty good pies. I tried both the chicken and the beef pot pie, and I personally liked the chicken one better. The flavor is great--creamy, savory, and filled with plenty of chicken. The crust is flaky, and it's especially good when it's still hot. I especially enjoy the little onions bulbs they put in the chicken pot pie. It's more unique versus other pies I tried. The beef one was just okay. Nothing really stood out to me. One reason I'm giving this 3 stars is because of the after effect. For some reason, whenever I eat these pies, my throat feels weird afterward. Whatever is in the filling seems to coat my throat and leaves a lingering uncomfortable feeling. At first, I thought it was just me, but my boyfriend said he experienced the same thing. I even tried baking their frozen ones at home, and the same thing happened again. It's a good pie overall, but I wouldn't come back because of this issue. read more

Great pot pies here! I tried the Classic Chicken in the establishment, and took a Green Hog & Cheese and a Steak and Ale home for later. All of them were phenomenal! Out of them all, I have to say the old school Classic Chicken was my favorite. Great service and a very clean place. read more

We came on a Sunday afternoon and actually had ice cream at the shop next door. Came in here and had Uber Coconut Pie. It was good as that is the go to desert we always order. Another customer walks in and walk out with a huge cup of I don't k ow what.....I asked Camille who was working at the time and said it was a Piescream. I asked why this was not on display as the picture on the menu does it no justice at all. Camille brought it to the table and not only looked good but, It was sooooooo good as with the saltiness complimented the pie and ice creams sweetness. This is an ABSOLUTE must when you visit Pop Pie. The establishment is located in University Heights army a corner and the parking can be challenging at times as it is only street parking. The ambiance is chill and relaxed. They had jazz, top 40 and chill music playing over the speakers which fit the mood. This is a place that I can hang out and relax sipping over a cup of Joe. I actually had a Matcha Latte that Ashley whipped up. The place is very clean with the amount of customers that come and go. There is a small patio that you can hang out at. The bathroom was very clean and well stocked however, the mirror was missing. There were no visible graffiti on any of the walls which is surprising for a unisex restroom. Overall, I highly recommend this place and I would love to hang out as well as this maybe one of the hidden gems here. When you come in say hi to Camille and Ashley as they are chill and really good people. The Piescream made by Camille and the Matcha Latte by Ashley were made with soo much care and clearly you can tell with the outcome. Hands down to Camille, Ashley and Pop Pie in University Heights....! read more

If you're here because you really just want to know about their dessert... you've come to the right place lol! Annually we order a whole key lime and Carmel apple pie, THEY'RE TO DIE FOR.

Over three years since I reviewed Pop Pie and everything I wrote still stands. When I don't know what to get for dinner, I will come here and order a chicken pot pie with 1/2 mashed potatoes and 1/2 corn. They have the best corn! I love that Door Dash now has them so I don't even have to leave my condo. On this morning, I was driving home from Orange County. My car just ended up here. I ordered the Boss 2.0 as it was still morning. It is a little heartier than a quiche. Eggs, bacon, potatoes and a side of maple syrup to dunk your pie. Be careful with the pie and dunking it into the syrup. The butter crust is so flaky that I had my pie drop into the syrup multiple times. Since I had nowhere to be, I ate here. First time! I enjoyed the experience. Good music. Quiet. Ashley made me an amazing mocha with almond milk. I was pleasantly surprised that they do not charge extra for almond or oat milk. I read my book, enjoyed my breakfast and drink. It was a great start to the day. read more
