Kauai Pie at The Right Slice
There’s nothing like eating a dessert packed with the flavor of the islands, especially if you’re on vacation. And if you’re on Kauai looking for something tasty to eat, head straight to The Right Slice.
This full-service bakery in the beautiful town of Kalaheo offers a range of pie options, from classic chocolate to tropical mango-lilikoi to savory chicken pot pie (and everything in between!).
Our Visit to the Right Slice
It’s easy to miss The Right Slice. Many visitors drive through Kalaheo without taking in the few shops and snack stops that make this place so charming. But you’ll want to slow down here, and enjoy some delicious Kauai Pie.
Inside The Right Slice, look for the booth with the most action, where pies get passed left and right to salivating customers eagerly waiting with forks in hand. The pie lady is busy talking pie as usual while crossing off sold-out flavors from the menu.
Luckily, we squeaked in right in time to get the last slice of mango lilikoi, which was a chunky little thing packed with plenty of fruit pieces. I felt like I was at a pie auction, where customers climbed over each other to get their hands on a piece (OK, a bit exaggerated, but that’s how I felt!). We managed to get away unscathed, however.
Plate of pie in hand, we searched for somewhere to sit nearby, but I could hardly wait to dig in. The pie was bomb! A buttery crust perfectly balanced the overload of savory filling that packed this pie piece.
The Kauai Pie Lady
The pie lady, also known as Sandy, joined the fleet of other small island businesses when she moved to Kauai in 2009. From selling at markets, she stepped it up to local stores and
For years, Sandy delivered Kauai pie to hungry customers across the continent, but they’ve discontinued that for the time being due to concerns about shipping time. You can still shop online for some merchandise and packaged goodies.
Pie Flavors
The biggest issue you’ll have at The Right Slice is choosing which flavor to try. I recommend you get some for now and for later. After all, a Tropical Banana Pie will hit the spot after a day of exploring Kauai, but later you can enjoy a Shepherd’s Pie for dinner. And go on and think about dessert, when a Lilikoi Cheesecake Pie will be heavenly.
Sandy uses locally-grown ingredients from Kauai farmers and cultivators – filling each pie with a unique blend of tropical flavors. There are also seasonal options that bring local customers in again and again.
