The Pie Shoppe – 1875 Powell St, Vancouver (<1 min walk from Victoria Dr and Powell St)

All natural is the game here! Gabi & Jules only use ingredients that are natural and real, resulting in new and exciting changes in their menu to complement the seasons.

As innovators, they try new things with their Feature Pie Saturdays, where a new flavour is released for just a week!
Port Moody a bit too far? Visit their other transit-friendly location, a 1-minute walk from the corner of Willingdon Ave. and Hastings St., accessible by bus routes R5 Hastings St RapidBus, 129, 130, 131, 132, 160, and 222. Now that’s accessible!
Savary Island Pie Company – 1533 Marine Dr, West Vancouver (< 1 min walk from Marine Dr and 15th St)
A long-standing part of the West Vancouver community for over 30 years, they fill the tummies of the neighbourhood with sweet pies, savory pies, cake, and baked goods.

El Dorado Pie & Treats – 130-123 Carrie Cates Crt, North Vancouver (<1 minute walk from Lonsdale Quay Terminal)

BONUS: Pi[e]r² Pizza – 6133 University Blvd, Vancouver (1-4 minute walk from UBC Exchange)
Although it’s not the conventional pie in mind, this pizza spot located inside the AMS Nest and features local toppings, and house-made sausages for the student-on-the-go.
