The Ultimate Pie Shop Road Trip In Louisiana Is As Charming As It Is Sweet

This road trip starts in the north and then meanders all the way down to Baton Rouge. Feel free to use this interactive map to add your own stops along the way.

Our first stop serves up what might just be one of the most famous pies in Louisiana: Strawn’s ice box pie. This old-school diner has been a Shreveport favorite since 1944 and now has multiple locations around town. The strawberry ice box pie is the most popular, but they offer several flavors, including chocolate, coconut, butterscotch, and banana.

Slayden’s is known for their BBQ, but the real hidden gem on the menu here is the homemade pecan pie. It’s the perfect sweet treat to end a deliciously savory BBQ plate.

This beloved Monroe eatery has a full menu of savory dishes like hearty po’boys, just be sure to save room for one of their incredible pies. They have over 10 flavors to choose from, ranging from traditional apple pie to a sinfully delicious fudge pie.

Now that you've sampled a fair share of sweet pies, it's time for something different! Lasyone's is home to the original meat pie, a crispy, flaky hand pie filled with seasoned beef. Once you try the meat pie, get a crawfish pie to compare and see which one you like better.

When it comes to pies, Lea's knows best. The lemon pie is one of their most famous pies, with people driving from all over just to get a slice.

Keller's offers a variety of sweets, covering everything from freshly baked cookies to praline brownies. There are over 10 different pies to choose from, and our favorites are the key lime and lemon meringue.

Last but certainly not least, Elsie's Plate & Pie in Baton Rouge is the ultimate spot to indulge in a pie. They specialize in handmade, individual pies in both the sweet and savory varieties. Start off with one of their savory pies - like crawfish pie, tomato pie, or a Louisiana crab pie - and then end on a sweet note with an apple pie, triple berry pie, or an Almond Joy pie. Yum!
