Thanksgiving is essentially a big excuse to eat great food, right? After securing takeout turkey and sides, it’s time to think about desserts, specifically pie, the epitome of sweets perfection for the holiday. Bakeries, restaurants, and food trucks in the Austin area — which occupies the ancestral lands of the Coahuiltecan, Comanche, Jumano, Tonkawa, and Lipan Apache tribes — are making it easier for people to masquerade as amazing bakers. These businesses are offering takeout Thanksgiving pies all available for the long holiday weekend beginning on Thursday, November 28.
Follows are Austin’s best places to pick up Thanksgiving pies, whether you’re visiting family and friends and aren’t up to the baking challenge, or you just want to leave the baking to the experts. This includes big and small pies from Tiny Pies, Texas-sourced pies at Abby Jane Bakeshop, and pie dough from Dai Due, among others.
Everything below is listed alphabetically and is available for pickups (delivery services are noted where offered). Those looking specifically for takeout Thanksgiving dishes and meals can look to this guide for help. And people looking to dine out can check out Eater’s dine-in meals map.
