All in the family recipe
Lighthouse Seafood Market & Cafe, 101 N. Country Club Rd., Lake Mary
Feel like you need a whole small pie to yourself today? This cafe has your back with what it claims is “the best Key Lime Pie in the state of Florida,” made from Evelyn’s (the owner’s mother) original recipe. Everything is made fresh in the restaurant, including the real hand-whipped cream on top, and you can order a single slice, a small pie, or a full-sized pie.
Lombardi’s Seafood, 1888 W. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park
You may not expect the home of “Florida’s Best Seafood” to carry a stellar key lime pie — but we’re happy to announce that it does, and it’s homemade every day according to an over 60-year-old Lombardi family recipe. Bonus: At $15, this pie’s one of the cheaper options on this list.

When in Paris... still get the key lime dessert. This one’s a decadent mini cake with three layers each of frosting and cake, making it a fun twist on the traditional pie.
