House of Pies Houston, TX

You certainly will not be impressed with the decor but this classic has managed to remain a Houston mainstay since the early 1970s. People of all types seem to be irresistibly drawn to this bakery-turned-diner. The round-the-clock service even keeps the staff hopping in the middle of the night. The dinner menu is dominated by diner-style, short-order items but there is no denying that slices of pie are what put them on the map. chocolate fans will adore a monstrous slice of bayou goo, but there are plenty of other heavenly-sweet slices to choose from if chocolate is not your flavor.
