We are from out of town and showed up at 1:00 pm on a Saturday to a closed shop. We quickly called and left a message and ordered 2 whole pies. The next day, after receiving confirmation, we arrived 15 minutes before opening! There were already 15 people in line! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It took us about 20 minutes to get inside this small, but very charming pie shop![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We also tacked onto our order 1 slice of the nut pie and a frozen chicken pot pie. The pot pie takes about 90 minutes to bake in the oven but was very delicious! The filling was hearty and the crust was flakey. I shared the pot pie with my husband for lunch and it really satisfied the soul! The portion was enough for the 2 of us. For dessert, we cut into the Apple White Peach pie. The topping was like a cobbler with crunchy granola topping. The crust was buttery and flakey and delicious. Such a yummy dessert!

Humble Pot Pie

Amazing pies! Be sure to get here before opening because they always sell out very quickly. I came here on a Friday morning, 15 mins before opening and there was already nine people in line. Online Order: They accept online ordering for whole pies only. Whole pies are $40 per. Pot Pies **All of their pot pies are served frozen. You will have to bake these at home. - Chicken Pot Pie 5/5: Savory with a flakey, buttery crust. Chicken was very plump and juicy. - French Onion Pot Pie 3/5: Great crust but it was way too sweet for me. Sweet Pies ($7 per slice) There sweet pies were so good! The crumble and crust on the pies were cooked perfectly. They were not overly sweet. I am not a huge sweets person, so this was perfect for me! - True Love 5/5 - Dutch Apple 5/5 - Mixed Berry 5/5

*** 2025 review #46 *** When in town, indulge in some fancy pies! Thanks Sarah for welcoming us. Glad we don't live nearby, else we'll have a big dent in our pockets ^_^

Menu rotates daily

Omg! Finally tried this place up the street from my house. We got there by 10:15a (15min before opening) and were able to get our picks of slices. Pretty good for Easter weekend. Be prepared to wait and don't expect to come in and out. One day we showed up right when they opened and there was a line and 2 of the berry pies were sold out! We did try the mixed berry, which was more on the tarty side. Our favorites were salted honey pot custard, pickle's key lime, dutch apple, and chocolate cookie crumble cream! The pictures don't do them justice, the crust is flaky and the custard in the pies just make it delicious. Came for 2 straight days and have to hold ourselves back from coming back!

Chocolate Cream Pie
Josephine T.

Went to Big Bear over the weekend, and passed by this shop. Read reviews and saw that it's a top place. I read the reviews and saw that they sell out fast. We went at 12, and luckily they still had some pies left. We tried pumpkin and chocolate cream. The pies were delicious! We went back the next day and they were only selling whole pies for the holiday, and were sold out. This place is definitely must try. You have to get there early because the pies do run out fast!

Caramel pumpkin pie was wonderful.  The crust was buttery and magnificent.

Do you like pies? Do you like lines? Well, if you answered "yes" to both questions, Pickles is definitely for you. And even if you don't like lines, if you like pies from Pickles, well, get ready to stand in line. No pickle pies here, fortunately or unfortunately, but these are some extraordinary pies, both sweet and savory. Need to know: call a day ahead and pick up your pies the following day. These guys sell out their pies. At least 20 or 30 people--all of whom stood in line for an hour or so--were turned away BY NOON on the day of our visit because they had not ordered ahead. So use that device in your hand for what it was born to do: call a day ahead or be prepared to be very disappointed. Also: whether you called ahead or not, you must stand in the crazy long line that extends into the parking lot. Walk-ins and those who ordered ahead all stand in the same line. That's the way it goes, folks. We tried the caramel pumpkin pie and it was spiced perfectly and not too sweet. The crust looked hard and boring but it was delectable. This was a very, very good pie. We also tried the chicken pot pie and the Humble (French onion soup) pie. Both had an amazing crust. They were both fantastic. The Humble one is very unique and tastes just like French onion soup. They are also very large and shareable. These pies are pricey and you must stand in a long line to get them. And they are absolutely worth the price and the effort. Delicious.

Remaining menu items at 12:00pm on a Saturday

ARRIVE EARLY if you want pie! I stopped by the shop at noon on a Saturday, only 1.5 hours after Pickles opened at 10:30am, and there were only 2 pieces of pie left! Luckily the couple in front of me only ordered one, so I was able to get the last piece of the day. Bourbon Pear would not have been my top choice, but it was amazing! The bourbon flavor shined through without being overbearing, and the pears were the perfect compliment. This may be my go-to flavor now! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is much smaller than appears on the outside, it's just a narrow hallway that leads to a cabinet of pies and an ordering counter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

A sweet message on our ASR pie
Erika C.

The most amazing dessert! Their pies are the best we've ever had. They're so good that we just drove 2 hours each way yesterday from Orange County to Pickles Pie Shop to buy ourselves the best dessert pie for our wedding anniversary celebration. Worth every minute on the road! Pickles has the best customer service! They went above and beyond to make our absolute fav, Apple Strawberry Rose, and even wrote a sweet message on the box. I can't recommend them enough. When you're in town, or even when you're not!, give this amazing couple a try. You'll love their homemade, buttery, fresh pies!!

Farmers basket
Jake T.

I would highly recommend going here! I came at open and got the Dutch apple, farmers basket, and the Cherry apple Pie. I really enjoyed all of the pie, the flavors were great and it was nice knowing that everything was fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store is a bit small and the line can be a bit longer as they only have 2 workers at the store, but I must say it is worth it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking can be a bit tough to find and I saw people park in all sorts of ways but it is definitely doable. I think a lot of people do pre-order but I did not research how. I think they do have a facebook page where you can see their pies for the next day, which is how I know right away what I wanted. They do sell out quite quickly so if you get there, they might not have all the pies that you want. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store's ambiance itself was quite nice too. It was small and there was a large menu on the left that is updated constantly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I would highly recommend coming here!

Dutch Apple and Blueberry Apple Peach
Charles L.

While in town with my wife for a vacation we stopped by what appeared to be a popular pie shop. We're from San Diego and we love a good fruit pie, especially from Julian. We got Dutch Apple and Blueberry Apple Peach. The edge of the pie crust had (in my opinion) this strudel-like consistency which I loved and the fruits were very good (not too sour and not too ripe). We were bummed that they were out of the chicken pot pie which appeared to be popular but just another reason to come back next time! Thanks guys

Chicken pot pie baked
Kevin L.

My gosh the pies here are on another level. We got 4 slices of pies: dutch apple, mixed berry, old fashioned pecan, pistachio macadamia pecan and 2 chicken pot pies. The mixed berry was my favorite with blue berries that held their texture and a jam that was perfectly gooey. Surprisingly they weren't too sweet or heavy, easily devoured a slice. The crust was scrumptiously savory. As for the pot pies, 90 minute cook time in the oven but the vegetables were a perfect texture. Would get both again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was friendly, interior was cute and quaint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We came on Wednesday 15 minutes before opening and there was only 1 person there (though they did take the last of two pies, bummer! Not sure if there's less quantity on Wednesday) and 4-5 parties after we left.

bourbon pear, dark velvet, caramel pumpkin, and pistachio macadamia nut pecan
Schmool H.

So we visited Big Bear Lake, and I was in the mood for pie--probably inspired by the musical Waitress I'd just seen. I planned to settle for any pie, but my wife searched Yelp for gourmet pies, and we found Pickles Pie Shop. My wife insisted we arrive early because the reviews warned they run out fast. They weren't kidding. We reached 30 minutes after opening to a long line. After about 20 minutes outside, we went in and waited another 5-10 minutes. The whole time I kept thinking: is this worth it? The answer, overwhelmingly, was yes. We bought four slices: bourbon pear, dark velvet, caramel pumpkin, and pistachio macadamia nut pecan. All were delicious, but my favorites were the bourbon pear and the pistachio macadamia. It's refreshing to try new flavors, and this occasion reminded me of the gifted baker from Waitress.

Inside of the chicken pot pie.  Delicious!

Jerry is the best baker I know. She made the most delicious wedding cake I have ever had…read more We had a three tiered cake. The top and bottom layers were ginger-doodle with gingerbread frosting and the middle layer was chocolate with espresso frosting. The flavors were amazing and the cake fit our rustic Christmasy theme perfectly. We had a very small and intimate wedding in December 2024 to which Jerry and the Gingerbread House were amazing to work with and gave the best service. We also had some of their goodies from the shop and those were also incredible. Thank you, Jerry! We can't wait to come back for some more sweets.

Ok, if you have a sweet tooth this is the place you will want to visit while you are visiting…read moreSanta's Village. I am sure the kids will not argue with you! We had waited in line outdoors for most of the time. It was quite cold and windy during the wait. One place I wish they had outdoor heaters . The house is decorated on the outside just like you would imagine a gingerbread house would be, cute, adorable and delicious looking. Once you walk into the house you will find some displays of familiar candies. Maybe something you may want to get the next time you are at your convenience or grocery store. Save room for the some of the beautiful and delightful dessert that are displayed behind the acrylic shield. And don't forget something warm to drink! The drink orders once made are handed out at the window on the side of the building. We ordered quite a bit, just wanting to try everything that looked and sounded delicious. My girls enjoyed the cinnamon rolls while the pretzel, and molasses cookie were my favorite. My girls agreed with me on the cookie as well. The grandkids enjoyed their cake pop. For hot drinks, we ordered hot chocolate and hot chai. For me, it was worth the wait. I would order more molasses cookie and an extra pretzel! The customer service was friendly despite the line of people that was coming through. Great job staff! I plan to stop by this house again the next time we come to Santa's Village.
