Cute place, the original house in the movie Top Gun! Selling mini pies. And I mean mini. With ice cream, they come on a stick. Very small.
Awesome place. Love to walk around the store and watch pictures of the movie. Very nostalgic. Not that expensive either. It's a great vibe in the store.
One of my absolutely favorite places to visit, and it should be on your bucket list if you're a TOPGUN fan!
The High Pie shop is also known as the TOPGUN house. It's where Maverick had his dinner date with Charlie in the first TOPGUN.
The shop sells hand pies and flavors may vary with the season. My faves are lemon, peach, and apple.
They also have lots of movie photos on display and sell very cool pins, if you like to collect such items. The location is beautiful, as it sits across the pier and ocean in Oceanside.
I have always heard about High Pie and follow them on social media and when I found out we had a parking space and were in the area of course we had to go check it out!
The house itself is iconic and there are a few landmark signs around. As soon as you walk up towards the front door you see a replica of the cycle Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis famously ride along the Oceanside beach to the house. Lots of photo ops and interesting info around. Loved the pic of Goose and Ice Man inside where you pick up your pies.
Pies are $3 each and flavors available today we're cherry, blueberry, and seasonal (lemon and peach). There are even dipping sauces and an ala mode option. We opted for a dozen pies which was about $34 and two sides of lemon curd ($2/each). We got a variety of apple, lemon, and peach pies. The apple pie was tasty when warm, the peach was so good (even cold) and the lemon was super tart and refreshing.
At first it seemed a bit pricey but well worth the price. The crust is buttery and flaky and the hand held mini pies are stuffed with filling. The atmosphere is neat, there are a few seats indoors and plenty of seating outside. The staff was friendly enough and the wait time from ordering to getting pies and coffee was fairly quick. I would for sure stop by if in the area, it's a great local piece of San Diego history for sure.
