The team at ThereSanDiego takes our Thanksgiving pies very seriously: we order early, we order multiple kinds, and we order from multiple San Diego bakeries and restaurants!
If you want to elevate your pie game this Thanksgiving, we recommend you do the same! Here’s where we’re shopping for Thanksgiving pies in San Diego this year:
Friendly Feast
Just in time for Thanksgiving, Friendly Feast will be hosting its first-ever Pop-Up Pie Shop on Sunday, November 21st at Hommage Bakehouse located in Pacific Beach inside of La Clochette Du Coin. San Diego’s top pastry chefs featured at the Pop-Up Pie Shop include Justin Gaspar and Juan Lopez of Hommage Bakehouse, as well as Gianna Buzzetta of Puesto, Laura Warren of Animae, Rachel King of Kaneh Co., and Jose Alonozo III of Nine-Ten, who will gather at Hommage Bakehouse to bring exciting flavors like Coconut Calamansi Pie, Apple Chai Crumble, and Chocolate Pecan Cheesecake Pie.
As with all Friendly Feast events, the Pop-Up Pie Shop aims to bring the community together for a good cause, with proceeds from this event benefiting the Friendly Feast scholarship fund, which supports the next generation of San Diego chefs and bakers.
Starting on Tuesday, November 16th, order your assortment of pies in advance via Friendly Feast’s website here, then head to Hommage on November 21st from 10AM to 11:30AM to pick up just in time for your holiday celebrations! Pies are nine inches and priced at $35 each.
Hommage Bakehouse
With the holiday season right around the corner, Hommage Bakehouse in Pacific Beach is excited to debut a new selection of seasonal flavors, choose from two delicious 9-inch pie options of traditional Pumpkin or Apple Crumble, which are available now for pre-order.
Both pies are $18 and available for pre-order via the Hommage website here until November 21st. Pie pickup is Wednesday, November 24, so you can get your pies just in time for Thanksgiving day celebrations.
In addition to the Thanksgiving pies, stop by Hommage for other seasonal bites including Maple Pecan Scones, Apple Butter Kougin Amann, and a Filipino favorite, the Pandesal now through the end of November!
Pop Pie Co

Pop Pie Co is a great option for amazing pie any time of year, but they are a MUST during Thanksgiving! You MUST pre-order, and they are selling out fast!
Betty’s Pie Whole (Elizabethan Desserts)

It looks like Betty’s Pie Whole may have been bought out by a new owner (we’re trying to reach them to confirm), but regardless, it looks like they are making the same great pies this place has always been known for. Pre-order early!
Susie Cakes
It’s beginning to look a lot like pie season. While we debate puh-con vs. pea-can pronunciation, you can plan your Thanksgiving desserts with Susie Cakes!
What’s baking: 9” pecan, apple, and pumpkin pies and homemade whipped cream that serve 6-8 people, and and 8” pumpkin cheesecake that serves 6-8 as well.
Order today! All orders MUST be placed by Tuesday, 11/23 at 5PM.
Julian Pie Co

If you’re willing to make a quick road trip for your pie (they are sold out of deliveries for Thanksgiving), then nothing beats a Julian Apple Pie fresh from their bakery in Julian!
Happy Thanksgiving, San Diego!
