When considering versatile desserts, look no further than pie. Just as delicious when served alongside a mug of coffee as a morning meal as it is topped with a dollop of ice cream for dessert, pie is tasty no matter whether it arrives freshly baked or straight out of the fridge. And in the Bay Area, there's plenty of pie to choose from, with fresh sweet and savory flavors emerging from the piping hot ovens of local bakeshops on the daily. But which pies are worthy of both your time and taste buds? We've rounded up a list of the Bay's most delicious pies, whether you're longing for creamy pumpkin and toasty pecans or are more into wild matcha custards and dark chocolate layers.

From hand-whisked matcha drinks to savory items like a killer katsu sandwich and salmon matchazuke, Stonemill does everything just right (and with lots of matcha).

Bernal Heights' neighborhood bakery rocks old-fashioned treats, including seriously buttery Pop Tarts, which are filled with jam or Nutella. That same tender, flaky, pastry is also shaped into whole pies, including apple with a crumb topping, apple with a double crust, and dark chocolate sunk into the pecans during the festive months of the year.

Tartine has a reputation for its banana cream tart, which has a crust that's just as dark-golden and distinctly layered as its award-winning croissants. But the award-winning bakery also rolls out pumpkin and apple options in November, at both the big new Manufactory and the original bakery on Guerrero.

Pastry chef Melissa Chou helped Mister Jiu's earn its first Michelin star, but these days, she's gone from plating beautiful desserts at the end of a meal to throwing open her own bakery window on weekend mornings. Grand Opening is a regular weekly pop-up at Mister Jiu's in Chinatown, where the star menu item is the burnt honey pie, with wild honey in the custard, beeswax cream swishes on top, and a sprinkle of fennel pollen. She usually has four different pies on the menu, in addition to cakes and other pastries, which can be ordered whole or mixed-and-matched in a slice box.

There are regular weekly pickups at locations in both Berkeley and San Francisco.

851 60th St
Oakland, CA 94608

This tried-and-true Southern kitchen has been serving up staples like chicken and waffles for nearly 70 years. Everything at the Oakland venue is made from scratch, including the beloved lemon ice box pie, which arrives with a tart lemon filling enveloped by buttery crust and adorned with a dollop of whipped cream. And the Thanksgiving offerings include sweet potato, along with nearly a dozen flavors.

3350 Adeline St
Berkeley, CA 94703

Pie savant Joyce Goldstein's neighborhood bakeshop Sweet Adeline makes its pies with a sampling of fruits from the Berkeley Farmer's Market, which means flavors like cranberry-pear and brown butter pecan will always be bursting with fresh, local flavor. However, its best pie may be the one without any fruit at all. The chocolate cream pie is a luscious, cocoa-rich confection piled high with house-made whipped cream.

At Berkeley bakeshop Crixa Cakes, the pies are known for their signature deep-dish, soft butter crust. Make sure to stop by during sour cherry season: For only a few weeks each year the bakery serves up its seasonal cherub pie, a sweet-and-sour cherry and rhubarb medley served up by the slice. But this time of year, the pumpkin pie is also exceptionally deep.

Edith's Pie is a pie pop-up with regular weekend pickups in both Oakland and San Francisco.

Gregory's calls itself an underground bakery (maybe because it's literally in a basement) but its fans don't mind, lining up for cheesecake, cobbler, and pie. The peach cobbler is saucy, spiked with cinnamon, and topped with shortbread. Its key lime pie, in a graham cracker crust, is ultra creamy and smooth.

Bakesale Betty is best known for fried chicken sandwiches, and it's also known for strawberry shortcake, but when the pandemic hit, it got into the pie game. The Thanksgiving menu includes old-fashioned classics like sweet potato and buttermilk. Mercifully, there are early hours for pie pickup, so fans don't have to wait out the long line at lunch.

Pietisserie had to shut down its storefront during the pandemic, but baker Jaynelle St Jean is still producing her aesthetic and delicious pies, which are available for pickup at numerous locations in the Bay Area, as well as though nationwide shipping. The raspberry chocolate and pumpkin chocolate pies are particularly striking, with that nearly black dark chocolate crust. Herringbone lattice tops and ultraviolet ube are also so cool, and the citrus custards sing out particularly creamy and tart.
