Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the pie crust by placing it in a 9-inch pie pan.
Toast the chopped pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until fragrant.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla, and salt; whisk until smooth.
Stir in the chocolate chips and toasted pecans into the filling mixture.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and spread it evenly.
Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before slicing.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
