An Open Letter to Spicy Pie: Please Open a Storefront in Los Angeles
Not sure if you follow @foodisnewrock (my music/food side project) but over the weekend I went to my first Coachella and quickly realized something most Coachella vets are well aware of: Spicy Pie is pretty fucking awesome. Sure, I did my due diligence by eating a corn dog, crab fries, Asian BBQ, fish tacos, shitty Thai food and an absolutely sick chocolate filled malasada (hawaiian doughnut), but next year I think I might just eat Spicy Pie for every meal. And considering it’s $7 a slice for their signature slice (jalapeno and pineapple) that’s saying a lot.
Maybe it was heat stroke, or the fact that the food at Coachella is mostly terrible and ridiculously over-priced, but Spicy Pie is easily the best option (provided you don’t count Kogi, which we can eat whenever we want). I want another slice right now. Only one problem… they only do festivals. What up with that!? We need a Spicy Pie in L.A. It would easily hold its own against Vito’s or Joe’s or LaRocco’s in Culver City. Can somebody make this happen?

OK – admittedly, I’ve never tried it. But, I think it must have been heat stroke. It looks horrible. And, as a former New Yorker, I think you should be slightly embarrased to be endorsing pineapple on a pizza. PLus $7? Whoa.

That picture looks horribly unappetizing. If you want Spicy Pie to visit LA at a local fair or festival, email them: http://spicypie.com/why_spicy_pie
Maybe they can be convinced to participate in the LA County Fair this summer.

they use the cheapest, lowest quality, mass sourced ingredients available. but the pie names are cool.
Kinda looks like the pizza from Costco. I mean that as a compliment.
