Ikeda's Pie Shop Crowned #1 in USA | California News

Ikeda’s California Country Market & Pie Shop, a three-generation family staple off I-80 in Auburn, just made national headlines after landing on NBC’s “Today” show and being crowned USA Today’s 1 pie shop in the country. Serving up to 1,000 pies daily from their own 40-acre orchards, this isn’t just about delicious peach and apple pies—it’s a powerful story of resilience. Founded by Sally and Sam Ikeda, Japanese Americans forcibly interned during WWII, farming became their path to rebuilding. Sally worked 12-13 hour days, seven days a week, while her son Glen dreamed up the pie concept to use surplus fruit. Now with locations in Davis and a full restaurant, this family legacy proves that hard work, heart, and heritage can turn humble beginnings into sweet success.
