The stromboli at Tony DiMaggio's Pizza on Monterey Road is a real San Jose gem.

A pie vending machine might sound like a wild idea, but it's a sweet reality at Berdoll Pecan Candy and Gift Co. in the Lone Star State. It is pretty much permanently busy, and all it sells are full-size pecan pies and other sweet treats like candied pecans and Southern pralines. Berdoll Candy and Gift Co. is located about 15 miles from Austin, Texas.
