You Know You’re From San Diego When…

You Drive An Hour For Apple Pie

Yes, you can find a great pie at Marie Calendar’s, but there is nothing like homemade, fresh pie from Julian. Starting out on these delicious journeys when we were kids, it is custom for all San Diego natives to travel to Julian specifically for these incredible apple pies.

The Julian Pie Company family establishment has been around since the ’80s, serving only the freshest baked goods with local ingredients thanks to founder Liz Smothers. Although it may sound absolutely ludicrous to anyone that isn’t from San Diego to travel over an hour away for a simple pie, you just don’t get us and that’s okay.
