(Update: Linda’s closed in 2012. I still want to find more good pie places in Phoenix).
My friend Karla wanted to meet with us for a mid-afternoon snack while we were in Phoenix.
She recommended that we get pie at Linda’s, which is at 24th and Osborn in Phoenix. It’s a little hard to find, since the only obvious name on the place is BJ’s (from the previous business name).
However, it was worth our effort tracking this joint down. Despite the non-descript exterior, Linda’s has quite a good selection of homemade pies. Our group opted for Coconut Cream, Banana-Chocolate (shown here), and Cherry. Mine was the Banana-Chocolate, which was pleasantly creamy, not too banana-y, with a good substantial flaky crust and a nice chocolate flavor.
If you’re looking for a nice, cheap slice of pie on the east side of Phoenix, Linda’s is pretty good.
