\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

Pie Society<\/strong> is\u00a0inconspicuously\u00a0set within the back of\u00a0Pitfire Artisan Pizza\u00a0in Costa Mesa.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

When I first read… Experience the Speakeasy Sanctuary from Tedium — I thought, what?<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s Pie Society<\/a>, a separate, connected, somewhat secret Bar,\u00a0open Tues. – Sun., from 5p.m. to “Close” whenever that may be —\u00a0Enter through Pitfire Artisan Pizza<\/a>, if you can find how.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s also\u00a0a back entrance to this speakeasy-type\u00a0Bar — I love the idea.\u00a0 It makes it cool.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

And you can tell from its look, menu, drinks and related peeps — It is cool!<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

The Bar is framed with parts of the old Marie Callender’s Pie oven that once occupied the spot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

Pie Society<\/a> has its own Signature Menu, with\u00a0mostly different\u00a0food than Pitfire Artisan Pizza<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

Prior to its opening last week, media got to experience the reminiscence of Pie Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

Signature Menu items are pictured throughout and ‘loosely described’ herein from\u00a0top down.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

Loosely, yes, since the Pie Society<\/a> House Drinks and Iconic Selections positively detonate!<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

I tried a few and the El Primo<\/strong> with Sombra Mezcal, Home-made Lime Cordial, shaken with a Lime Wheel was a favorite.\u00a0 I fell for Mezcal at Pie Society —\u00a0Good thing I walked there.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

Cheers to El Primo (above), the Pool Side (below) and the Hemingway Daiquiri — Ask for ’em.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

I can’t name all pictured Pizzas, but Pie Society<\/a> offers a few from Pitfire<\/a> and a few unique to it.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s very dark inside which is part of\u00a0the fun, but it makes it tough for photos.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

Food media events bring out the best to\u00a0capture ALL best.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

Drinks Stars — I love\u00a0the house-made (almost) everything… Juices, Syrups, Cordials, etc.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

When there,\u00a0sliding doors\u00a0sometimes open up to\u00a0a Pizza oven and additional seating (below).<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

The view back into the Pie Society Bar<\/a> area (below).<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

See the exit sign in the Pitfire Artisan Pizza<\/a>\u00a0restaurant (below)?\u00a0\u00a0It’s a way in to\u00a0Pie Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

Pizzas are exceptional on both sides of the building, at Pie Society<\/a>\u00a0and Pitfire Artisan Pizza<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

We tried a Trio of Bread & Butter Pickles with Sriracha and Dill, Pastrami Peanuts with Smoked Sea Salt,\u00a0and Smoked, Marinated Olives, and Superba Fried Chicken, Tater Tots with Chorizo Fondue, Crispy Dim Sum Shrimp, Cheeseburger Hot Pockets, Kimchi Deviled Eggs and\u00a0Sweet & Sour Crispy Pork Belly.\u00a0 The Chorizo Fondue<\/strong> and Pork Belly<\/strong> stood out as superstars to me.<\/p>\n

\"Pie<\/a><\/p>\n

I felt big love and\u00a0blow its cover.\u00a0\u00a0Another<\/a> provides\u00a0more information here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
