All vegan raw food in a nice atmosphere with friendly service - Edit
The drill here is order at the counter and your food will be brought out. Friendly service with good recommendations. I went with the Magical Mango Curry Wrap that comes with kale chips and a dressing. Help yourself to filtered water. I sat in the garden and loved the ambience with heaps of potted plants. I found the wrap flavorful and ample portions. The kale chips were very tasty. Well executed presentation.

Bonus points for having Dr. Bronner’s soap in the bathroom.
Definitely worth checking out in San Diego.
Pros: all vegan raw food, friendly service , peaceful atmosphere

Lovely place to enjoy a meal - Edit
Be sure to stay here and eat in their little plant covered oasis! Street parking available.
Read moreThe Bruschetta changed my life! It had great texture, the flavor was a playful punch, and the cream sauce garnish was killer! This seriously had me drooling. The salad was good, shake was tasty, and I was very happy to discover they had vegan TWIX bars! I love a place that I can enjoy something I can’t get anywhere else! Top notch h meal and can’t wait to return here.
Pros: Fantastic flavor bruschetta, Plant decor seating area
Cons: Pricey

I could eat this salad every day - Edit
Ordered the Karmic Kale salad based on a rec from the staff and it was 5-star delicious. A mound of kale, beets, carrots, hemp seeds, and garlic tahini dressing. Came with crackers surrounding the salad mound. Not a shred of salad left on the plate after I was done. Kept the tastebud party going with kale chips to go. Beautiful jungle garden for outdoor seating.

This place is good - Edit
Big menu, big portions, and it seems that everything is raw. I just wish that it was closer to me than a 2.5 hour drive away.
Read moreI tried the raw tuna wrap, bruschetta, and hemp milkshake. The bruschetta toast was delicious! And it was so filling on its own that I wasn't even that hungry by the time I got to the tuna wrap. The tuna wrap was good too and was in a sweet-ish green wrap.
I will definitely come back to this place! I want to try the burger, nachos, and some of the desserts but I just didn't have enough room in my stomach to try them this time.
Pros: Big portions, Diverse menu and dessert selection, Pretty location
Cons: Somewhat pricey

Unusual in the best way - Edit
Unique place, menu and atmosphere. I don’t come here very often, but when I do I'm always happy to have treated myself. Wish they opened earlier and had non plastic packaging. Really unusual place though, in a good way, love the effort to be unlike 99.99 percent of other food.

We had a terrific lunch (and dessert) here. Service was helpful and friendly. Food tasted really good! We ate in the cute garden which is really a nice touch. If we lived in San Diego we'd be regular customers!

Nori Wrap and Kale Chips yum! - Edit
Very little parking- so you may have to look around area first to park before you go in. I had a delicious Nori wrap and the Parmesan kale chips. They were both really, really good! Friendly service and lots of choices- especially deserts. Very cute and cool front garden area that might transport you if you have a moment to take it in ✨

THE BEST raw vegan - Edit
I went here with a friend and was so delighted with everything we tried, recommended by helpful and kind staff. The tuno wrap was on point, from the wrap itself to the tuno to the sprouts to the honee mustard to the kale chips, 10/10. So fresh and delicious. We also got Twix bars, which were melt in your mouth contemplate the cosmos good.
Read moreA few days later same friend and I went back to try out some more of their wide range of deserts… I had the best chocolate cheesecake I’ve ever had in my life, hands down. My friend got the snickerdoodle cookie sandwich which was also out of this world.
I just moved here from nc and between the dank food and the ethical mission statement, peace pies wins the title of my favorite vegan spot in sd. I might even have to apply to work there.
Pros: So fresh and so clean, Friendly staff, Adorable patio with plants and succulents

I want this in my neighborhood - Edit
This came up after a quick Google search for vegan when I got off the plane.
Read moreThe staff was great talking me through the extensive menu. I was ravenous so I ordered the special (BBQ falafel wrap) and chips and guac. The special was amazing, it came with a side of kale chips which were so good. The guacamole was really good. The chips had to have been a whole cucumber. I was absolutely stuffed and couldn't finish it all.
Pros: The tortilla used for the wrap was really good , Kale chips, The garden to eat in

What a vibe. This gem in San Diego is of another world. The place oozes atmosphere full of love, freshness, and passion. Enjoyed all sorts of dishes and also brought more food for back home. J.P. Alfred is so creative. The staff are all so friendly and don’t miss a beat. They also sell Cana sugarcane juice. Sooo good! I also love that they have a garden where you can enjoy the scrumptious food and delicious mylkshakes.

First time trying raw, oh yeah! - Edit
The food was ultra fresh and so delicious! The staff was super friendly and we had a nice little chat. So many dishes to choose from, we settled on the curry wrap and Noble nachos. The wrap came with kale chips that were perfectly seasoned, crisp and delicious. They might even be as good as mine!

Big portions - Edit
My partner always comes here for the durian shakes, he is in love! I personally think they taste like onions but I'm happy to tag along because I enjoy all their other treats! Portions are huge (but equally pricey), definitely recommend sharing if your on a budget 😁 Have had wraps, desserts etc from here and they are AMAZING 🤤 The Kale chips are also a must and sometimes comes as a side with your meals.

Just wow!

Make sure to check out the special featured dish of the day. Luckily they had Thai noodles when I went probably my favorite dish there I requested it with zucchini noodles instead of kelp. Also the buffalo wrap was really good.

Incredible! - Edit
Probably some of the best raw, vegan food I’ve had. I always find this type of eating to be an adventure of the palate. It was so good and very healthy ingredients. The mango-raspberry cheesecake was so delicious and fresh tasting. I will absolutely be back!

Delicious healthy food - Edit
This place was so so yummy! We got the pizza and quesadillas with walnut meat added. When traveling it’s hard to find unique healthy vegan places, since a lot are mostly junk food. The nacho kale chips were also delicious and can be purchased separately as well. We definitely will be coming back to have some desert!

tasty food, interesting service - Edit
let me start by saying i really really enjoyed my meal here. raw vegan food is hard to make these guys seem to have mastered that. some people have made comments about the wrap being sweet- mine was a little sweet but i personally really liked the flavor with the rest of the veggies in the wrap. if you’re going here and have never had raw vegan food before- go in with an open mind and an understanding that it’ll probably taste different from most things you’ve eaten before. i personally think it’s delicious and of course incredibly nutritious.
Read moreall that said- i did think the service could have been a little better. the people were not the nicest. although they did get the food out quickly and were not per se - mean. just could have been nicer in my opinion

Mint Chocolate! - Edit
For dinner, I decided to try the caesar salad and cheesecake. The caesar salad was pretty good, especially since I love kalamata olives. It was not my absolute favorite, and I personally was not a huge fan of the croutons. Unfortunately for me, there were a lot of croutons. The cheesecake I received (I ordered on UberEats and was feeling lazy, so I did not call and ask the flavor) was a mint chip, and wow. The cheesecake was super good, and as a mint chocolate lover, I was impressed.
Read moreI would maybe try Peace Pies again, but I think it is not my cup of tea. Due to that, I am giving it three stars because I love the concept and still enjoyed my meal overall. However, I recommend giving it a try because it just might be your thing!

Nothing special about it - Edit
Cold food, sweetest wraps I ever ate! The staff seems to be in no mood whatsoever to serve u food— attitude is like they are donating food to you! You pick up ur own plates, utensils, napkins — and ofcrse pay tip to the staff! Only plus is a nice small patio garden!

It was good - Edit
Would have been 5 stars if the tortillas were not as sweet, made with coconut water. Kale chips were excellent, Caesar wrap was better than mushroom quesadilla, in my opinion. They also have a great buffalo sauce that kinda helped with sweetness of red tortilla. They have a cute little patio.

Best vegan restaurant in the world!!! - Edit
This place blows me away every time!
Read moreBest restaurant in the world to me!
We are from London and visit San Diego often. We absolutely love eating here in their cute little garden.
My first choice off the menu would be the raw quesadilla - incredible flavours!
The desserts are to die for!
This time I purchased both of their cookery books to make raw food while recovering from surgery in Mexico. WOW I couldn’t believe I could make raw food taste like that. The owner is so kind to share so many of his best recipes!
I can’t wait to be back in San Diego to come back to piece pies. I just wish we had something like this closer to us!
You guys are the best! An inspiration to us all to eat healthy and with love x

Desserts are delicious - Edit
We tried a key lime and strawberry cheesecake which was delicious, a chocolate cheesecake, a birthday cake which was ok tbh, a passion fruit blueberry cheesecake which was also delicious. We had their snickers bar or something like that and it was very good as well. We have had their durian shake before but it wasn’t our favorite. I still taste the garlic flavor in the durian. 😁 I have had their wraps before and these are really good/ satisfying.
