These three local eateries will warm you up from the inside when cooler weather kindles thoughts of pie.

Chicken Pie Shop

The Old-School Classic: Chicken Pie Dinner

The no-frills San Diego Chicken Pie Shop in North Park is famous for its chicken pie dinner. The pie mixes shredded turkey and chicken under a basic crust, with chicken gravy ladled over both the whipped potatoes and the pie. The dinner also includes a slice of sweet pie for dessert.

The New-School Classic: Steak & Ale Pie

A hip vibe prevails at Pop Pie Co. in University Heights, where the steak and ale pie seduces with tangy beef and mushrooms under a flaky pastry.

The chicken pot pie, with pearl onions, is robust, while the Aussie meat pie features a silky mince. Sweet hand pies include guava and Mexican chocolate.
