The best part of the holidays is that it’s officially pie season! Pumpkin, apple, pecan, berry, who cares? There’s no such thing as a bad one. Remove extra holiday baking stress by outsourcing your pie this Thanksgiving from one of these delicious, locally-owned bakeries.

House of Pies

If you’re in search of a pie, you can find them where they live – at House of Pies. This locally owned and operated restaurant pays homage to the tradition of fresh, simple, ingredients mixed with love. They are open 24 hours a day during the week of Thanksgiving, and it’s first come, first served – no advance orders unless you’re ordering more than 20 cakes or pies. So just drop by at whatever time suits you.

Victory Pie Company

Victory Pie Company is a locally owned pie shop that donates a portion of their profits to veteran organizations. Each pie is handmade from scratch and oh so delicious. They offer nearly a dozen different pies as well as a handful of gluten-free options. You can order your Thanksgiving pie online ahead of time and pick it up fresh for the holiday.

Flying Saucer Pie Shop

The Flying Saucer Pie Shop has been serving out-of-this-world baked goods in the Houston area since 1967. All pies are made fresh daily and are never frozen, so you can go home with a delicious dessert that will taste like it just came out of the oven. All pies are first come, first served. So plan ahead to make sure you don’t miss out on your favorite flavor!

Spend less time in the kitchen this year and more time eating pie! For more brilliant seasonal tips and local delicacies, check out the Olympus Sierra Pines blog.
