Homemade pies are great, but if you show up to friendsgiving with one of these? You’ll be the hero of the night.

🥧 Pie Shop – This H St. pastry shop ONLY does pies, so they have a ton of variety, both sweet and savory. Grab an apple pie or something different like the berger cookie pie or winterberry crumble. ($36 each)



🍎 Little Red Fox – Although the café doesn’t typically carry pies, they go all out on holidays. Choose between double-crusted apple, pumpkin, key lime, or bourbon pecan. ($30 each)



🎃 Bread Furst – Your favorite bakery has three special pies for the season: pumpkin, apple, and pecan bourbon. ($32 each)



🍠 Henry’s Soul Café – There is only one pie on the menu at Henry’s — but that's all you need. Their sweet potato pie is infamous. Get one before they're gone. ($13.99 each)🫐 Acme Pie Co. – Acme sells its sweets at markets and restaurants in D.C. and Virginia, but they also do Thanksgiving orders and have a variety of classics. Their apple and berry pies are vegan. (Price varies)
