Pi(e) Day in Long Beach
March 14, or 3.14, is upon us, which means it’s Pi(e) Day! And, as has often been observed, Long Beach is a true Pie Town. Finding a great slice here is a simple equation, solved daily at some of the city’s most popular bakeries and restaurants. Here’s just a slice of some great spots to enjoy Pi(e) on 3-14 or any other day. After all, any day can equal pie!
LAURIE’S PIE BAR
Laurie’s Pie Bar (450 Pine Ave) is a hallowed downtown spot serving incredible scratch-made sweet and savory pies, unique Cutie Pies in a jar, even pies for pets. As you can see, pie-wise, they’ve got you covered, from Whiskey Peach to Ube Coconut to the ever-popular Key Lime, and so many more. For Pi(e) Day, they’re offering $3.14 Key Lime Pie Shots to the first 30 guests (limit one per person). The Frankenpie option lets you build your own pie by choosing six different slices and for Pi(e) Day, when you buy five slices, you’ll get the sixth free!
POLLY’S PIES
Polly’s Pies (3490 Atlantic Ave) is a classic American diner and bakery known for made-from-scratch comfort food and generously sized, traditional fruit and cream pies. The menu leans toward beloved classics like apple, cherry and chocolate cream, though its signature creation may just be its Banberry—banana cream topped with fresh strawberries and finished with real whipped cream.
JONGEWAARDS BAKE ‘N BROIL
A Bixby Knolls landmark, Jongewaard’s Bake N Broil (3697 Atlantic Ave) is a beloved restaurant and bakery known for comfort fare and scratch-baked pies made fresh daily by early-rising bakers–they turn out around 2,000 during Thanksgiving alone. Favorites include apple, German chocolate, pecan and French peach, with the most popular being Lemon Lush, a decadent blend of sweet cream cheese, lemon curd, and pecans. Dine in, take out, or pre-order whole pies, including seasonal and holiday specialties.
HOF’S HUT
A true Long Beach institution, Hof’s Hut (2147 N Bellflower Blvd) has been serving breakfast, lunch and dinner for more than 70 years, greeting guests with a gleaming refrigerated case filled with fresh-baked pies. Architectural and artistic in their presentation, these creme and fruit and cream creations practically sparkle, especially its signature strawberry, apple and key lime. For Pi(e) Day, Hof’s will be offering $3.14 off any large pie with a redemption code that will be shared on their social channels and website. The promotion is valid for dine-in, takeout and delivery.
