Who sells the best pies in San Francisco?

The real question is where I can get the best Cornish Pasties in the city.

I'll second that vote for Mission Pie. (Note: door is actually on the 25th St side of the SE corner of Mission & 25th).

The best pies in the Bay Area come from Bakesale Betty's at 51st & Telegraph in Oakland: http://www.bakesalebetty.com/

Speaking as a hater of the Least Bay, trust me when I say this is one time when crossing the bridge is worth it. Get a fried chicken sandwich while you're there.

Final answer: Teddy G, kindly responding to a craving I voiced yesterday, just brought a banana cream in from Mission Pie. It is literally a slice of heaven. Perfect flaky crust. None of it too rich or too sweet. Just absolute perfection.

You're craving one now too, aren't you?

To wit:

Thanks, Thor. Now I need to have more.

I think it's really important that I visit your offices sometime soon. We can have an important meeting about pie, I mean, about the relationship between product management and customer support. Yes, that. Not the pie. I mean, there might be some pie there and if there was I'm sure we could work it in somehow...

Um, and you're bringing the pie, right?

That could probably be arranged. :)

I'll see when I can get away from the office after my conferences the next two weeks...

mmmm....pie.....

for coconut cream ... Luna Park
for banana cream ... Delesio (but they have it very seldom)
for Fruits of the Forest ... Sara Lee @ Safeway (believe it or not!)

Oooh, thanks for the coconut cream tip! One of my favorite pie types.
