(SPOT.ph) Desserts come in a number of popular forms in Manila, like cakes, cookies, and ice cream. But in the name of expanding our food horizons, it’s about time we put the spotlight on pie. Essentially a sweet or savory (and often, baked) dish with a crust and a filling, it’s a wonderful medium to deliver all kinds of flavors—from the tangy and fruity to the rich and creamy to the umami-rich and meaty. We’ve listed down the essential pie shops in Manila that you can count on for great-tasting versions.

This Local Pie Maker Wants to Spread the "Pie Obsession"
Hit up these sellers for sweet and savory pies in Manila:
Hey Pie People
Though launched just this May, Hey Pie People has become one of the best-known online pie sellers on local social media. At the helm is mom-slash-pie maker Raeanne Young-Sagan, who has gained traction for her classic and experimental pies and friendship with American cookbook author Erin McDowell (who wrote the famed The Book on Pie, no less!).
Hey Pie People’s menu changes weekly; previous items include the Mango and Black Forest Pies. But you can expect whatever fillings they’ve got to be in Hey Pie People’s flaky, buttery crust that’s famously sturdy (you can hold a whole pie out of the container with your hands, or a slice like you would a pizza) but not tough. Hey Pie People takes orders through an order form that they post on their Instagram page at 10 a.m. every Saturday. You’ll want to set an alarm though, because they sell out quickly—like as fast as two minutes during their debut run!
For orders and inquiries, check out Hey Pie People’s Instagram page.
Wallow Bakery
Wallow Bakery might be primarily known for their cookies, but they make swoon-worthy pies as well. They’ve got classics like the tangy Lemon Meringue (P500/seven inches), and the Chocolate Pudding (P600/seven inches) made with Auro Chocolate. A more vibrant-tasting choice is the Kiwi Calamansi Pie (P550/seven inches), which combines the two fruits for an unforgettable fruity dessert. Give these pies a try by sending them a message on social media.
For orders, send a message to Wallow Bakery on Facebook or Instagram.
Simply Pie
A weekend-market favorite (you’ve likely seen their stalls at Mercato Centrale and the Salcedo Market), Simply Pie gives good ol’ buko pie an even-more decadent spin in their Buco Macaroon Pie (P750). This special dessert has succulent young-coconut strips, a rich dairy cream custard, and a caramelized-butter coconut-macaroon topping—and they come together for a whole that’s every bit as rich as it sounds! You can send them a message on Facebook or Instagram for orders.

Pieceful Pies
Pies go the whimsical direction at Pieceful Pies.

Lulu’s Apple Pie
When the hankering for a killer apple dessert strikes, you can count on Lulu’s Apple Pie to deliver—they’ve been around since the year 2000, so they must be doing something right. Their Classic Apple Pie (P270/six inches, P700/nine inches) is made with fresh apple chunks simmered in its own juice and organic sweeteners, topped with a crisp and flaky lattice crust! It sure doesn’t hurt that these pies are vegan, too. You can send them a message on social media to give their pies a try.

Pie Day MNL
Pie Day MNL believes every day is a “good day for pie”—and with their playful pies, we’re inclined to agree. Think Tiramisu (P900) with a mascarpone crema, espresso, lady fingers, and graham; Banoffee (P1,000) with a dark-chocolate mousse, dulce de leche, bananas, and graham; and the Mocha Loca (P900) with a cookies-and-cream mousse, espresso, lady fingers, and graham. You can hit up their DMs on Instagram to give these a try.
For orders, send a message to Pie Day MNL’s Instagram page.
Pastry Princess
Chicken pie, anyone? Pastry Princess’ version (P700/nine inches) is one of the best-known in town—and with its creamy filling and golden-brown crust, it’s not hard to see why. If seafood is your protein of choice, you can instead go for the Creamy Seafood Pie (P900/nine inches) instead. You can send them a message on social media or Viber to get your fix.
For orders, contact 0945-619-1165 through Viber or send a message to Pastry Princess on Facebook or Instagram.
Chronicle St. Pies
There’s apple pie, and then there’s apple crumble pie—basically apple pie topped with a buttery crumble for extra oomph and texture. You can try it for yourself at Chronicle St. Pies, a Quezon City-based seller that specializes in the said dessert (P220/mini, minimum of four; P800/medium; P1,450/large). They use fresh apples sliced thin and stacked high, and prepare their pies just a few hours before delivery so you can have them in their freshly-baked state. Just fill out their order form at least two days in advance to get your fix.
For orders, fill out Chronicle St. Pies’ order form. You can also check out their Facebook and Instagram pages.

Locally, you can get your fix from Patty’s Pot Pies—they make small versions that you can in boxes, perfect for sharing. You can take your pick from their Cheesy Chicken (P280/box of six, P380/box of nine) or Cheesy Beef & Mushroom (P330/box of six, P430/box of nine), or go for an assorted box (P300/six, P400/nine).
