This charming café is a pie lover's paradise, serving everything from flaky fruit pies to savory quiches, all with warm service and delightful vibes.
"Though the chocolate peanut butter has many local fans, Food & Wine hailed First Slice’s apple pie as one of the best in the country. The cafe also has a charity component, so eating all that pie supports a good cause. There are locations in Andersonville and Ravenswood Manor." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
"The unassuming cafe serves more than sweets. First Slice functions as a social enterprise, fueling profits from the business toward providing meals and skill training to Chicagoans facing housing instability." - Rusty Design Co.
"This is a welcoming little cafe serving all kinds of soups, salads, and sandwiches. And pie, of course, because with a name like First Slice Pie Cafe, there’d better be pie. It’s really the pie that you should be getting here (if that wasn’t obvious)—either the peanut butter or something more classic like the apple. Eat it there, or get it to-go. Or do both, and have more pie." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor
"First Slice in Andersonville has some of our favorite sweet pies like chocolate peanut butter and pumpkin, and some great vegan ones, too. But they also have a few savory options like chicken or turkey pot pies if you don’t want to deal with carving a bird this year. You can see their whole selection and place an order here." - john ringor
