Super Clean. Super delicious. The first time I came to this place I ordered a chicken pot pie. It was so good I came in today and got it again, alongside the peach crisp. The peach crisp is a peach cobbler with crispy flaky crust with pecan on top. SWEET 8 lbs BABY JESUS...blessed both these pies. read more

Wow! Just wow! We got the chicken pot pie, chili pot pie, nutter butter pudding, and the strawberry banana pudding and we batted 1000! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. So comforting and delicious! read more

So nice to have a local Mom n Pop shop down the street with healthy home made eats. Of course all the dessert pies are scrumptious but the savory pot pies are a must have. The staff is always so polite, patient, and helpful. Can't wait to taste their pumpkin pies !!!! read more

Highly recommended! I've had the gumbo and banana pudding and both are amazing and at an affordable price. It's rare you get perfect gumbo here in LA but at an affordable price is unheard of. I will definitely be trying more options. read more

* Doordash orders - call bakery first to check availability. They automatically cancel your entire order if they don't have all of the items you want. * Piping hot fresh pies available the day before Thanksgiving AND delicious? How can I not give 5 stars. They were super accommodating despite my placing orders last minute and gave me a call when the pies were ready. I loved that the pies weren't too sweet like most places. Just the right amount of sweetness. I could finish the entire pie in one sitting. - Peach Crisp (my personal favorite. A must try 10/10) - Apple Crisp (good, a bit too tart for my taste 8.5/10) - Pumpkin Pie (loved it, note it's a bit strong on the cloves 9.5/10) - Rhubarb Pie (wish they had strawberry rhubarb! tart but still delicious 8.5/10) read more

Crustees is delicious, quality food - our favorites are the chicken pot pie, curry pie and chili pie...sometimes I get the chili when I'm pretending to be good! Sweet Potato Pie is good as is the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie (a special treat for my dad). Not the cheapest but worth it...so pleased to have quality, take-out in my neighborhood read more

Carl's Crustees. Let's talk about it... The Banana Pudding: Rich. Creamy. Lump Free. FULL of flavor. RIGHT at the brink of the sweet edge; which is to say it's perfect for the adult mouth. He has enough confidence in this dish that he doesn't need to hide a boring custard behind a wall of sugar. The Peach Cobbler: Delicate, flaky crust. Peaches not cooked until they're fragrant spitballs. The balance of nutmeg and cinnamon tastes almost scientific, it's so perfect. And, once again, the man doesn't need five pounds of sugar to tell a cobbler story. I'd buy this by the sheet pan. The Chicken Pot Pie: Marie who? Ha! An "unimprovable" blend of chicken and vegetables that he has also gotten just right. I found the salt to be exactly where it needs to be, which is not a simple task when making this dish. His crust seems to be the same across dishes so, if that be the case, you can test your next offering out sans trepidation. I highly recommend this spot! read more

Introduction: Before coming to Crustees the love for pies never made sense to me because all the pies I have had thus far: Cocos, Mary Calendar's, Farmer's Markets etc. have all been disappointing to say the least. Often the pies' pastry/crusts are stale, hard, and generic in flavor; therefore, whenever I eat pies, I usually throw the pastry/crusts away and just eat the fillings inside. I thought pies are something of a myth: a culinary delicacy that only the older generation of non-Asian folks know how to make [well]. However, after sampling some of Crustees's pies, my hope has been rekindled. Pies: Peach Cobbler: I remember the worst peach cobbler I have ever eaten; it is at the weekly Farmer's Market in Monrovia. Nine dollar a slice and the peach inside the cobbler is semi-pale in color and slightly mushy in texture; in short, the "peach" slice didn't taste like peach. The crust? Flavorless and generic. The peach cobbler at Crustees is different: the peach's texture is melt-in-your-mouth tender soft [eat it and you'll see what I mean] with a sweetness that's natural as opposed to being overt. Every bite is warm, wholesome, flavorful, balanced, and comforting. Apple Pie: I'm a sucker for apples and ever since childhood I have always had a soft spot for apple pies. Unfortunately, good apple pies are essentially nonexistent. At Crustees their apple pies are in a class of its own. The apple slices taste as if it were freshly sliced: vibrant in flavor(s) with good structural integrity. The cinnamon that accompanies the apple slices makes each bite unforgettable; the aftertaste of the cinnamon permeates and lingers in the palate long after each bite is swallowed. Service: The staffs are cordial, patient, and down to earth. Price: Normal pot pies costs about $5-$6 while fruit pies by the slice costs about $3.75. At Crustees their 6' pies and cobblers cost around $6-$9.5 depending on what you choose to get; their savory selection such as chicken, beef, and Shepherds pot pies cost around $10.99-$12.99. The quality speaks for itself: you won't regret paying their price. Overall: What makes the pies at Crustees different is the fact they don't use any preservatives and they use butter to bake their pies. When pies are baked with butter, the pastry/crust of the pies are imbued with a buttery and doughy aftertaste and thereby bypassing the usual shortcomings of pies: pastry/crust that are generic, flavorless, stale, and hard. read more

The pies may look like they are on the small side, but it will fill you up. And the flavor is excellent. If you love pie crust, their crust is definitely one of the best. I had chicken pot, beef pot, and Shepards pie. You can't go wrong with either one, but I ranked them in order of my favorites. read more

The chicken pot pie is very good but overly priced for the size. I miss Boston Market

Amazing Gumbo The Pot Pies are so delicious, the crust is perfect! The quality of ingredients and recipes are something everyone should try. read more

So yummy!!! Happened upon this place. Great food. Savory and sweet. Family run. Excellent employees.

Bought a bunch of pies for my husbands clients Everyone LOVED their pie! They were the perfect size for gifts... small enough to be affordable yet large enough to bring home to share. I loved their savory chicken pie a lot and their sweet pies were amazing! Highly recommend supporting this small business. read more

APPLE PIE REVIEW I feel like depending on how you like your fruit pie filling you may or may not like this place. What I mean is that their apple pie does not have a gelatin fruit filling like a Marie Callender, McDonalds, cobbler situation. So if that's what you're looking for this Apple pie might not be for you. This is a very fruit stacked filling. It tastes very... natural. Home made. Definitely better warmed up than cold but that's totally fine for me. Crust is flaky (I kinda like a soggy-ish crust more but I also recognize that's just my personal preference) The 6 inch pie is a good size for 1 person. The inside of the establishment is minimalist and clean. (I got my pie as take out so can't really tell you about ambiance.) With all that said, I liked their apple pie and look forward to trying their savory options! read more

I love the food here! The pot pies and banana pudding is my absolute favorites! The veggie and chicken are really good! Also check out the white chicken chilli! A nice chilled vibe inside with outside seats in the summer or when it's warmer outside. Ms. Dawn is an absolute treat and every time I go in there I feel right at home with her great service and great energy. You will not regret trying Crustees Eatery out! read more

My favorite restaurant in the whole neighborhood! The best chilli I've ever had. And don't get me started on that banana pudding. I can't wait to try the tiramisu. read more

Decided to go to Crustee's bc I was hungry, too lazy to cook and did NOT want fast food! This was only my second time here and I wanted to try something different than last time. My daughter, who's a regular, told me to get her favorite, Shepherd's Pie. I've really been trying hard to go vegan...but...well you know. Lol! The Shepherd's pie was delish. Seasoning was on point and it had that home cooked comfort feeling. I also wanted something sweet and I had my lips all ready for the apple crisp but it wasn't ready so I reluctantly opted for the mixed berry. Full disclosure...I am NOT a berry person unless it's strawberry or blueberry, that being said the mixed berry crisp was delicious! The mix of berries with the sweet and tart made my mouth happy and the crust well all I can say is I could just eat a whole bowl of that light, flakey, buttery crust and be happy! On my next visit I'll be getting Apple Crisp...AND mixed berry! Lol! P. S. Here's a pic of my empty container! Lmaooooo! read more

Get the Shepherd's Pie please! Oh yeah and also a bowl of no wait a quart of Chili so GOOD! The service is great the people helping you out are very polite love helping you get a extra pie or three. The ambiance is relaxing noting over the top because it's mostly a takeout spot although they do have a couple of tables and chairs. I can't stop coming back for more. They've been very consistent with the flavors although the portions has gotten smaller it's still worth it. read more

I didn't go into the restaurant but my boyfriend brought me a chicken curry pot pie from here, it's so moist on the inside and flaky on the outside- seasoned to perfection! this is the best pot pie i've ever had read more

I did not like the pot pies. I think this place is a bit pricey for what you get. The curry chicken was mostly pie crust. The jalapeño cheese muffin was good but careful it's really spicy. I tried it because I do try and support black businesses, but maybe I need to try something else. read more

Amazing pie joint. The chicken pot pie is so flavorful and perfect for these colder days ahead. A neighborhood staple, but also worth the drive for those of you unfamiliar with this part of LA. read more

Step into this pristine environment and you will find the most luscious toothsome pies since those that you imagined as a child! We ordered 2 savory and 2 sweet. The look of delight on my daughters face when she bit into the cherry pie was one for the books. another wonderful surprise is that the sugar content is quite balanced and not over the top- surgery- sweet. It leaves you lingering with the flavors without the backlash. The savory pies are chock-full of comfort. Thank you this is not far from home. read more

The banana pudding is dangerous!! Somehow I find myself stopping by to get some every week. The chili is great as well.

Today was our family's 1st visit to Crustees. I'm actually upset that we haven't been here prior considering that we are literally blocks away. They've been opened for almost three years and all I can say is, I see why they have weathered the COVID-19 restaurant apocalypse. We all got the chicken pot pie and let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS!!! The pie crust was flaky and chewy just like I like my pot pies, the inside was tasty & creamy and all the ingredients were super fresh. The portions are right sized but I legit could've eaten two of these pies today, however my inner fatty lost the battle. The reviews don't lie! This is another great local small business to get some great eats from. The gumbo is definitely next on our list Damn.... That peach cobbler crisp was EVERYTHING! read more

I'm from New Orleans, so I'm tough when reviewing gumbo. Trust me when I tell you, Crustees' gumbo is LEGIT. So good. Tastes just like home. Will definitely be ordering again! Don't forget to order a side of rice for it! I got the chili cheese pie too, which literally made me burst into tears with the first bite. I was not expecting the intense wave of nostalgia it brought forth. When I tell you it tastes EXACTLY like my momma used to make I am not exaggerating. When I saw it on the menu I hoped it would be similar. It was identical. Obviously, I will be ordering again. (And again. And again!) I also ordered the chicken pot pie, which was sweet and creamy. I also tried the shepherd's pie, but it's not my favorite flavor profile. Very excellent, just not for me. The corn bread is tasty, but very dense. The corn meal they use is very fine, so the texture of the bread is tight and heavy. I personally like a larger grain meal, with a more crumbly texture. Completely subjective, of course! For dessert I tried the cookie berry crumble pie. It was way too sweet for my taste. I will try a different sweet pie next time. Honestly, if you're craving some comfort food you can't go wrong here. This food has soul. I could taste the love. Can't wait to order again! I'll be telling everyone I meet about this place. Well done, Crustees! Thanks for the food hugs. read more

PECAN PIE WOW! This is probably one of the best pecan pies I've had. SO GOOD! Also got the pumpkin pie which was good but not my personal fave. I'll be dreaming of this pecan pie! read more

Perhaps one of the best pot-pies I've ever eaten in the world. We first got to know #Crustees at our local Manhattan Beach farmers market. Crustees goes to many towns.

Really wanted to enjoy this spot because of the highly rated reviews but the pies were incredibly dry and mediocre. Dish fell flat as the hard crust stood alone. Pie crust lacked the wet doughey inner pie lining that ties crust to filling. Filling was very straightforward, didn't wow in flavor or clever combinations. I got the chicken pot pie & the owner's recommended peach pie. read more

Absolutely delicious!!! We picked up 4 pot pies at The Calabasas Farmers Market and had them for dinner tonight. So very good! Will be back for more!!! The beef pies tasted like the best brisket I've ever had!!!! read more

Went back to Crustees last Sunday at the Malibu Farmer's Market, to see if I could believe my own hype. Bought one each Shepherd's Pie, Chili Pie, Chicken Pot Pit and a Berry Cobbler and a Cherry pie. Total cost $52+ so they better be good! Had the Chicken Pot Pie last night and Just had the Chili Pie piping hot followed by the Berry Cobbler cold with ice cream. All my grandmothers are gone so I can't slap them, but now I might have to add Crustees Pies to my list of Things That Live Up to the Hype: 1. Fly fishing in Montana (and Montana all together) 2. The women of Norway (and Norway in general) 3. The Hollister Ranch 4. Mavericks. 5. The women of Rio de Janeiro (although that city is dangerous) Does Crustees belong on this list? Get some and see for yourself. I told the Farmer's Market Crustees should consider opening a Malibu satellite meat pie place maybe in that new La Paz Shopping Center that's under construction right now. These pies are more addicting than crack. I recommend you try it. read more

Been shopping these amazing pies since the markets! Thought it couldn't get any better, but this gumbo is warmest delicious hug in a bowl. Follow with banana pudding and the new curry chicken pot pie... what?!! Why do you make it so difficult for me to choose?!? Crustees is a gem, run by the loveliest fam. So lucky or dangerous) it's a quick drive up the hill. read more
