When it's time for dessert on Saturday, make sure to order pie. It's National Pie Day - as if the American Pie Council really needed to give us an excuse to have a slice. Whether sweet or tart, flaky or crusty, pie is an American tradition, says Ed Levine, founder of SeriousEats.com, a website devoted to the pleasure, culture and business of food. Levine has sampled slices across the nation. He shares his favorite pie purveyors with Larry Bleibergfor USA TODAY.

Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q
Decatur, Ala.
This Dixie restaurant doesn't skimp on dessert - it bakes pies fresh daily. "They make those classic mile-high Southern pies," Levine says. "They tower and can fall if they're placed on your table at the wrong angle." His favorite here: coconut cream. But chocolate meringue and lemon icebox have devoted followings, too. 256-350-6969; www.bigbobgibsonbbq.com
