Get Ready for Your Thanksgiving Dinner With the Best Desserts
November is the official start of the holiday season and with only a few weeks until Thanksgiving, local restaurants and bakeries are already offering Thanksgiving pie and dessert pre-orders.
Sadly and predictably, Hannah Ziskin’s pre-order, the pastry chef of Quatersheets and Food and Wine’s Best New Chefs of 2023, has already completely sold out. But never fear, Nicole Rucker’s pre-order for her excellent restaurant Fat+Flour and delicious pies will open up on November 8. We will update this list as other pre-orders are announced.
The bakery is now accepting pre-orders for Thanksgiving pies, crafted by pastry chef Sam Robinson. Choose from six festive flavors, with pick-up available Wednesday, Nov. 27, from 3 to 5 p.m. The bakery will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28. Order here.
To order for pick-up on another day, visit the bakery’s online pre-order page.
