It’s Turkey Season, Let’s Talk About Thanksgiving and Pie
It’s officially November. The leaves are crunchy, the air is crisp, and suddenly everyone is remembering that they are supposed to bring pie to Thanksgiving. It’s a good thing you know us! We are fired up (the ovens literally are) to be a part of your holiday celebration this year. Let’s get into the delicious details!
A Brief History of the Thanksgiving Chaos
The Thanksgiving pie frenzy began in 2009, when Pie Inc. had just two locations: Comet and Honeypie. In those early days, Pie Inc. Founder Valeri Lucks was the only pastry chef crafting every pie by hand. That year, she baked 89 pies in one day - her forearms should have been insured!
The pie mania exploded from there. It soon became clear that we needed a dedicated baking kitchen space and crew. Then entered Palomino, which came with a large space right next to the kitchen. What could that be perfect for? The official baking kitchen that has become known as our beloved Honeypie Bakeshop. Our first Thanksgiving there? 1,000 pies were baked for the holiday. It was basically a bakery bootcamp!
Why Is Our Pie So Good?
We make real pie. Like, actually real.
Every pie is a reflection of Pie Inc.’s core values: quality, scratch-made food crafted by real people made from local ingredients, which is sure to put a smile on the faces of those indulging in the sweet treat.
From buttery crusts to creamy fillings, each element of the pie is hand-crafted at the Honeypie Bakeshop. There are no shortcuts taken around here!
We are proud to support our local food community, too. Our pies feature Wisconsin-made butter, milk, eggs, cream, oats, and seasonal Midwest fruits whenever possible.
If our pies have been on your Thanksgiving tables for years, we love you. If you’re new here: welcome to your new favorite tradition.

New Pie Alert: Pumpkin Pie Latte
The new flavor was collaboratively created by the Honeypie Bakeshop. It is the Pie of the Month at all of our locations.
Lead Baker Carly added, “I was definitely inspired by the cozy coffee flavors floating through the air this time of the year!”
This pie features a cream cheese-based pumpkin pie filling, complete with a touch of coffee in our classic shortbread crust. The pie is decorated with a ring of whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon.
