House Of Pies

There’s something undeniably charming about a place that knows exactly what it is. House Of Pies on Vermont Avenue in Los Feliz has been serving up slices to night owls for decades, and it wears its quirks proudly. This isn’t a destination for fine dining or culinary innovation—it’s the kind of spot you stumble into after a late movie at the Los Feliz 3, craving something sweet and a strong cup of coffee.

The pies themselves are the real draw here. Sure, they’re served at room temperature and the fillings are comfortingly familiar rather than gourmet, but that’s precisely the point. There’s a slice of strawberry or banana cream calling your name at 2am, and House Of Pies is there to answer. The diner-style menu offers other options, but regulars know to stick to what they do best—the namesake desserts.

Expect the unexpected when it comes to service and timing. Your order might arrive quickly or take its sweet time, and your server might be charmingly indifferent or surprisingly attentive. It’s all part of the experience at this beloved neighborhood institution. The crowd tends toward creative types, solo diners working on their laptops, and groups of friends extending their evenings with pie and conversation.

If you find yourself in Los Feliz after dark with a craving for something sweet, make your way to this Vermont Avenue staple. Pro tip: there’s a hidden parking lot in the back that makes late-night visits considerably easier. House Of Pies isn’t trying to be anything other than what it is—a reliable spot for decent pie at unreasonable hours—and that authenticity is exactly what keeps people coming back.
