Skip the Baking: Where to Buy the Best Thanksgiving Pies in LA for 2026
Wondering where to buy the best Thanksgiving pies in LA in 2026? From Grand Central Market to Long Beach, these 20 bakeries, diners and pie shops are taking holiday orders, and several already have firm preorder deadlines in the week before Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 26.
Some families make every pie from scratch. Others would rather spend Wednesday night with the kids instead of rolling out crust, and that is exactly why we put this guide together. We rounded up classic pumpkin and pecan, Southern sweet potato, ice cream pies and a few showstoppers, plus what we know about ordering each one.
Key Takeaways
When: Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, 2026, and most bakeries close preorders between November 19 and 22.
Earliest deadline we found: Huckleberry in Santa Monica closes holiday orders Thursday, November 19, at 6 p.m.
Walk-in backup: Winston Pies, Cake Monkey, Porto's and Polly's Pies keep a limited number of pies for walk-in buyers, first come, first served.
Southern favorites: 27th Street Bakery, Southern Girl Desserts and Crustees Eatery are our go-to stops for sweet potato pie.

Tips for Ordering Thanksgiving Pies in LA
A little planning keeps pie day stress-free. Here is what we have learned from years of holiday pie runs.
Order this week: Preorder deadlines on our list start November 19, and popular pickup times sell out before that.
Plan one pie for every 8 guests: Most whole pies serve 8 to 12, so a party of 16 needs at least two pies.
Pick up Wednesday if you can: Wednesday pickups are usually calmer than Thanksgiving morning.
Store pies the right way: Cream and custard pies, like pumpkin, need the fridge, while fruit pies are usually fine on the counter for a day.
Have a walk-in backup: Winston Pies, Cake Monkey, Porto's and Polly's Pies keep limited pies for walk-ins.
Takeaway
Buying your Thanksgiving pies in LA gives you more time with the people around your table. Order early from favorites like Huckleberry, Cake Monkey, Winston Pies and Republic of Pie, and keep a walk-in backup in mind in case plans change.
Whether your family is team pumpkin, team pecan or team sweet potato, there is a bakery on this list for you. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at FUN WITH KIDS IN LA®.
