One signature staple that ends up on everyone’s kitchen countertops during the fall is pumpkin pie. It’s a very divisive dessert, you either love it or hate it. We love it and we just so happen to know where to get the best pumpkin pie in Louisiana. It’s only offered during certain times of the year, so make sure you put in your order for this year so you can get a taste of this legendary dessert.

Lea’s Lunchroom has been a staple for those traveling along US-71 for nearly a century.

The Lecompte landmark opened its doors in 1928 with a very humble menu and a positive attitude, and almost 100 years later, they’ve become a time-honored tradition for countless families in the area.

Known for their ham sandwich — the sandwich that started it all — Lea’s offers several hearty hot plates and lunch specials that’ll make you feel like you’re eating at grandma’s place.

Just be sure to save some room for their legendary pies.

Made from family recipes, not much has changed in the recipes over the decades and that’s one of the reasons these pies are so popular.

Lea’s bakes nine different types of pies every morning.

Daily flavors include coconut, lemon, chocolate, banana, apple, peach, cherry, bumbleberry, and the always popular pecan.

For the fall and winter, Lea’s makes a very special pumpkin pie that’s worthy of a road trip from any corner of the state.

Available by the slice or the whole pie, this pie will put you in the fall spirit after just one bite.

It might even turn the pumpkin pie haters — it's that good!

There's even a second location in Monroe, so if you happen to be in northern Louisiana, you're even closer to some of the best pumpkin pies in Louisiana.

Grab a fork and dig in.
