What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise (Travel Channel) featured The Pie Hole in the 'Easy as Pie' episode, highlighting the bakery's small handheld pies in flavors such as fruit, cream, and savory varieties. The Pie Hole is a Los Angeles pie bakery chain that opened multiple storefronts across the city, including a flagship shop on Traction Avenue in the Arts District near Little Tokyo. According to Yelp, updated August 2026, a listing for the Traction Avenue location marks the business as closed, with the page carrying a 'CLOSED' designation.

A separate Yelp listing for the chain's Hollywood Boulevard location, also updated August 2026, likewise marks that storefront closed. A Pie Hole location inside a Santa Monica grocery store continues to appear on the reservation platform Tock, suggesting the brand continues to operate elsewhere in the Los Angeles area even as Yelp lists both original storefronts as closed.
