Top 10 Places to Celebrate National Pie Day
You don't have to be Adam Carolla to prefer pie to cake. (He tells a story about loving pie so much, that he once entered a pie-eating contest at North Hollywood High and, with his hands behind his back, nibbled and licked at the side of the pie until the contest ended, whereupon he took his mostly uneaten pie home and wolfed it down with a jug of milk.) If, like the radio host, pie's your thing, then Sunday is your day. January 23 is National Pie Day, and we've got a few ideas for how to enjoy it. Turn the page for our Top 10 Places to Celebrate National Pie Day.
Guzzle & Nosh A few ways to celebrate National Pie Day.

10. Apple Pan: The reason this classic West L.A. spot shows up on our list is its old-school banana cream pie, which we've had the audacity to assert is the best in the city.
9. Sweet Lady Jane: Now with two locations, a newly opened one in Santa Monica and its longstanding one on Melrose Ave., SLJ isn't known for its customer service but it does offers half a dozen pies including a deep-dish pecan and a classic apple so stuffed with fruit yearning to breathe free, it looks like it came down with the mumps.
8. The Cobbler Lady: Despite her name, "Cobbler Lady" Pam Wright dishes out more than cobbler. She also dishes out 7-Up cake, red velvet and one helluva sweet potato pie.
7. Pie & Burger: It's not the brief two-and-a-half week window in the middle of summer when they offer olallieberry pie. It's not Christmas time, when they make mincemeat pie. But it is a day, like every other day, when you can buy a slice of classic Dutch apple pie. At this frozen-in-time Pasadena diner, it's made from scratch off the same recipe they've been using for decades.

6. Simplethings: Big pies, small pies. Sweet pies, savory pies. This recently opened bakery, spawned from a successful farmers' market business, has them all. We adore the mint-chocolate whoopie pie, but if you want a "traditional" pie, may we recommend the key lime?
