Pop Pie Co. University Heights

"Pop Pie Co., located in a building owned by Nicholas Zanoni, shares space with Stella Jean’s Ice Cream." - Candice Woo

"Warm, savory veggies and meats bundled in tender pastry and baked until golden. Fruit, custard, and sweet fillings piled into tender, crumbly crusts. That’s the spirit of Pop Pie. Eaten alone or together, their pies make for a deeply comforting lunch. (They also serve coffee and espresso — in case you need to stave off a food coma.)" - Roxana Popescu

"As the name suggests, this locally owned fast-casual specializes in handcrafted, artisanal pies with both sweet and savory fillings. Signature flavors range from green hog and cheese to coconut cream cheese and matcha green tea with dark chocolate. If you’re feeling especially indulgent, head over to sibling shop Stella Jean’s next door for a pint of handcrafted ice cream." - Darlene Horn

"University Heights’ Pop Pie Co. and Stella Jean is taking orders via phone or the Pop Pie Co. phone app. Curbside delivery is available." - Candice Woo, Darlene Horn

"Orange County pie enthusiasts will soon be able to enjoy a piece of home-baked goodness from San Diego; University Heights’ Pop Pie Co. is coming to Costa Mesa in mid-September, where it will share the same strip mall with Sidecar Doughnuts’ flagship store. The local pie purveyors are taking the place of well-established Aussie-style pie shop Pie-Not, which shuttered in June after six years. Founded in 2016 by co-owners Steven Torres and executive chef Gan Suebsarakham, the Park Boulevard pie company was hand-picked by Pie-Not, who approached the partners about replacing them in the space. Torres shared, “We’ve had plans for expansion for a while now, and this was a perfect match.” Open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, the all-day eatery will offer Pop Pie’s signature menu of savory individual-sized pies in flavors ranging from traditional Chicken Pot Pie, Aussie Meat Pie, and Steak & Ale to pies filled with curried vegetables and chile-spiced braised pork along with sides like creamed corn and kale slaw. Their dessert pies, including Salted Caramel Apple Crumble, Coconut Cream Pie, and Key Lime Pie, come by the slice and as whole 9-inch pies or in handheld form, sweetened with guava cream cheese or lemon curd and mixed berries. Small-batch ice cream from their companion scoop shop Stella Jean’s, will also be offered. The shop will also function as a full-service coffee bar, fueled by beans from Portland’s Heart Coffee Roasters." - Candice Woo
