Whether you prefer to stick to the classics or are adventurous enough to explore twists on fall favorites, these Chicago bakeries are serving pies that will charm your whole family.
Delightful Pastries (Jefferson Park)
This family-owned and operated bakery at 5927 W. Lawrence Ave. has been around since 1998. The mother-daughter duo uses fresh ingredients to cook homestyle European treats. Some of their Thanksgiving favorites include an apple caramel pie for $26 and a cranberry fudge pie for $28, which are available for pre-order online.
- 🧑🍳 If you want to amaze your family and friends with a homemade pie, sign up for the shop’s Pie and Crumble baking class on Nov. 21.
Floriole (Lincoln Park)
Before Floriole opened at 1220 W. Webster Ave. in 2010, it started as a stand in Chicago’s Green City Market. This year for Thanksgiving, you can order 9-inch pies like a honey caramel pumpkin pie for $64 or a turkey pot pie for $54. They also offer other homemade pastries, like honey pecan sticky buns and fresh sourdough.
- 📞 Make sure to order online by Sunday, Nov. 22 for pickup Nov. 23-25.
Justice of the Pies (Chatham)
Maya-Camille Broussard opened the shop at 8655 S. Blackstone Ave. in honor of her late father, a criminal defense attorney who called himself the Pie Master because of his love for baking and eating pies. Some of their Thanksgiving specialties include a 9-inch salted caramel peach pie and a bourbon pecan pie, both for $37.50. Or try their sweet potato plantain pie for $45, all of which are available for pre-order online.
- 🍎 Pies are available for pickup starting Friday, Nov. 20. Pickup is available Thanksgiving Day between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
The Supreme Bean (South Shore)
If you’ve ever wanted to try a bean pie, look no further than The Supreme Bean at 7351 S. Stony Island Ave. The 8-inch Supreme Bean Pie, at just $14.99, is a protein-packed alternative to Thanksgiving’s favorite dessert, made from navy beans, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- 📦 All pies are shipped out on Mondays and Tuesdays, so place your order at least a week in advance.
Hoosier Mama Pie Company (Evanston)
This bakery is known for its Thanksgiving pies that regularly sell out within the first few weeks of November. Pies at the West Town location are already sold out, but you can still order from the Evanston location at 749 Chicago Ave. through Nov. 22. I’m eyeing their $39.50 Maple Pecan Pie that’s made with real Wisconsin maple syrup!
- 🥧 All pies can be picked up Nov. 24-26. The shop closes at noon on Thanksgiving Day.
