"Angela Pinkerton's popular bakery Pie Society will be closing down. The closure is not due to external issues but because the lease is ending. Pinkerton plans to take a break and may do pop-ups and pie pickups during holidays." - Dianne de Guzman

"Star pastry chef Angela Pinkerton launched a sweet new pie pop-up at the start of the pandemic, inspired by her grandmother’s orchards — and dedication to butter. Get those Thanksgiving preorders while they’re hot, for pumpkin made from fresh and flavorful kuri and kabocha squashes; apple-cranberry topped with streusel; and an intoxicating mix of pecans, walnuts, bourbon, and dark chocolate. There are regular weekly pickups at locations in both Berkeley and Dolores Deluxe in San Francisco." - Dianne de Guzman, Becky Duffett, Eater Staff
"Last June, a few months after creating the pastry program at MICHELIN Plate Che Fico, Angela Pinkerton started baking pies. On the menu are passionfruit bay leaf merengue, strawberry rhubarb streusel, and chicken pot pies, although Pinkerton's favorite is a classic apple; her grandparents had an orchard and she watched her grandmother bake a lot of apple pies. In the beginning Pinkerton rolled dough for all her pies by hand but, to give them a break, she She began driving from Oakland to San Francisco at 4am to use the dough sheeter at Che Fico. Pie Society now turns out cookies and 250-300 pies, to be picked up in San Francisco or the East Bay. Follow @piesocietysf for updates." - Sophie Friedman
