Pop Pie Co. University Heights

Dropped in late, just before closing. Still had plenty in stock. Opted for slices of Mushroom Leek Quiche, and Key Lime Pie with a mini-football of whipped cream.
Both were excellent. They offered to heat the quiche, which came out piping hot. The leeks might cause some stranding, so compact fork work might be a challenge. It is all tasty, though.
We are officianados of Key Lime Pie. Anything green, forget. This pie ROCKS! Though the crust is a tad underperformed compared to the filling. Not quite as flaky as in the keys, it still stands up to what one needs a pie crust to do.
I am glad there are many locations, just wish I could rely on such a solid resource like this anywhere near my neighborhood.
We were too excited to take photos before diving in.

Best chicken pot pie I’ve ever had…. Truly delicious

The pies are delicious (both sweet and savory)!! What I love about their pies is that the ingredients taste so real, and the presentation is on point. We devoured the pumpkin pie!

Shout out to Michael! Super friendly and considerate. The space is super comfortable, even for a party of 12. Would definitely recommend!

We had high hopes. We were underwhelmed.

The food was ok, a little on the salty side. The sausage roll was the highlight.

The horchata was excellently refreshing. The key lime pie was well done, though they pre-packed some for easy sale, ask for a fresh one!

Overall the staff is friendly and accommodating. It appeared nice and clean, but the corner table seating was far from it. It smelled like a urinal tbh.

As a key lime pie fanatic, I made this place my destination for my first morning in San Diego. I arrived with very high hopes. Somehow, Pop Pie blew them away. The flavor, texture, and crust of their key lime pie was truly exceptional. We were warmly greeted by Nayton and Franni - they also directed us to the green hog and cheese pie, which was unforgettably good as well. I suspect we will be stopping in often during our week in San Diego. An utter delight to start the day

Nayton, I believe, is the best barista in the city. Never just good, always great.

It's been a pleasure to come across this very tasty spot in my new work neighborhood. Trying a new pie flavor each time I come.

The guy behind the counter was very rude. It was my first and last time here. Have been hearing how good the pies were so stopped in for lunch today. When I fist walked in we weren't greeted or anything. The guy behind the counter was folding boxes and just asked if we were ready. I told him yes and he didnt even move or make eye contact. Ordered a veggie and a chicken pie. The guy just tossed a pie on the counter and walked away. No clue if it was the chicken or veggie so I had to look at the display to see what it could be. He never said the machine was ready for payment or anything. The crust is good but both pies were so overloaded with spices you couldn't taste anything else. Also there are sooooo many flies you can't eat in peace.

I love counter service. I get the curry pie and it’s ready at the register. Hot, fast, spicy with a delicious, secret recipe crust.
