food query: spinach pie?

Where around somerville and cambridge has good spinach pie (spanokopita) ?
Any particular faves?

Three Little Figs has pretty good spinach pie, though they are only open earlier in the day and not for dinner.

My suggestion as well.

If you're willing to make a trek out west, the little Armenian square in watertown along the 71 bus has some groceries that have a pretty kickass spinach pie. My favorite is Sevan.

I almost always order the spinach pie at Grendel's. I don't know if its good enough for a spinach pie connoisseur to make a special trip out there, but it's pretty good. (They make two kinds, depending on... god only knows)

Definitely Greek Corner. And it's in easy walking distance.

Agreed, this is by far the best.

Not spanikopita, but Christo's in Arlington (corner of Mass Ave and Lake St) has absolutely delicious soft spinach pies, the kind that's about five inches across and made with dough that's fluffy on the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside if you reheat them in the oven... NOW I'M HUNGRY. Anyway, they have them in the freezer case and on the counter by the cash register.

Actually, they have spanikopita in the freezer case, but that's not homemade.

The Greek Festival at the Church in Central Square is June 15-17. It's likely that they'll have something that fits the bill. Their desserts are also delicious.

I was hoping someone would mention this -- I had their spinach pie last year, it's so good!

ETA: Actually I meant the Greek Festival in Somerville that's in September. I'll have to check out the Central Square one too.
