Every November, someone in the family gets the pie job, and that someone might be you this year. Good news: Georgia is full of bakeries that already have the crust part figured out.
This list covers seven spots across the state, from a tiny Duluth studio making mini pies to a British bakery in Pooler that turns Thanksgiving dinner into a handheld savory pie. You will also find an old-school Savannah favorite, a Decatur bakery with vegan options, and an Augusta shop known for sweet potato pie.
Some of these places get busy fast once the holiday gets close, so ordering early is the smart move. Pick a classic pecan, try something new like salted caramel apple, or grab a chicken pot pie for the night after the big meal.
Then sit back, accept the compliments, and maybe keep the bakery name to yourself.
1. Pie Bar (Woodstock), Woodstock, GA
Some families have a turkey tradition. Plenty of Woodstock families have a Pie Bar tradition, with regulars returning year after year to order their Thanksgiving pies here.
The shop sits at 8720 Main St in downtown Woodstock and focuses on fresh sweet pies, plus savory take-and-bake meals. The case rotates through favorites like salted caramel apple, toasted coconut cream, key lime, peanut butter cream, and rustic peach crumble.
For a holiday table, the bourbon chocolate pecan pie is a strong pick, with a crisp crust and a rich filling. The brown sugar chess pie also comes in a gluten-free whole pie version, which helps when one guest has dietary needs.
Hours run 11 AM to 7 PM Monday through Thursday, later on Friday and Saturday, and noon to 6 PM on Sunday. Weekend afternoons get busy, so a weekday pickup is easier.
Curbside pickup and delivery are both available, and parking is free.
2. Southern Baked Pie Company | Mail Order and Georgia Pie Shops, Gainesville, GA
All-butter crust is the calling card here, and it shows up on both sweet and savory pies. That makes Southern Baked Pie Company a handy one-stop shop for dessert and dinner.
The Gainesville shop at 302 Broad St SE offers caramel pecan, salted caramel Dutch apple, chocolate chess, blueberry, and salted caramel turtle pies. Pumpkin hand pies are a fun option for kids or anyone who wants a small portion.
Savory fans can grab a chicken pot pie, which is a smart plan for the busy days around the holiday. The apple pies get attention for balanced sweetness and a flaky crust, while the maple pecan and buttermilk pies round out the classic Southern lineup.
The name also hints at a bonus. Mail order is part of the business, so relatives outside Georgia can get in on the pie.
The shop is open weekdays 10 AM to 6 PM, Saturday until 3 PM, and closed Sunday.
3. Crave Pie Studio, Duluth, GA
Can’t pick just one flavor? Crave Pie Studio solves that problem with handmade mini pies, both sweet and savory.
The small shop on Main Street in Duluth has only a few tables, so most people grab their pies to go. Pecan and key lime are on the menu, along with tarts and chicken pot pie.
The crust is the star. It is flaky, and the cherry pie is made without gelatin in the filling, which gives it a fresher, fruit-forward taste.
Mini pies work well on a Thanksgiving dessert table because guests can try two or three flavors without fighting over the last slice. Hours run Wednesday through Sunday, with later evenings on Friday and Saturday.
The shop is closed Monday and Tuesday, so plan around that. Free parking is available nearby.
4. Baker’s Pride Bakery, Savannah, GA
Opening at 6 AM, Baker’s Pride Bakery is the kind of place where the pie run can start before most people finish their coffee.
This old-school Savannah bakery on E Derenne Ave keeps things simple, with a few tables and a long lineup of treats. Pies share space with glazed donuts, fritters, cookies, muffins, brownies, and custom cakes.
Holiday pie options include pumpkin, apple, and banana cream, and the lattice cherry pie is a classic choice. The pecan pie has a big reputation in town too.
Prices are friendly, often in the $1 to $10 range per person for everyday treats. It is open Monday through Saturday and closed Sunday.
Mornings and afternoons are the busy stretch, so calling ahead for a holiday order is a good idea.
Visiting family in Savannah for Thanksgiving? This is an easy way to show up with dessert and not stress about it.
5. Pie Society, Pooler, GA
Here is a twist on the usual list: a British bakery where the pies are mostly savory.
Pie Society in Pooler specializes in meat pies with thick, crispy, flaky crusts. Choices include steak and ale, steak and mushroom, chicken curry, chicken pot pie, and pub cottage pie.
The Thanksgiving-friendly option is a turkey, stuffing, and cranberry pie, which basically packs the holiday plate into a crust. Sausage and apple is another fun pick, and mushy peas come on the side for the full British experience.
Dessert is covered too, with apple pie and custard. This shop is a smart choice for the leftover-weary crowd on Friday, or for anyone hosting a smaller gathering without a full turkey.
Find it at 1215 US-80 in Pooler, with a free parking lot. Hours run daily, with shorter hours on Sunday.
6. Southern Sweets Bakery, Decatur, GA
Hosting a vegan cousin, a gluten-free aunt, and a pecan purist all at once? Southern Sweets Bakery in Decatur can handle that table.
This longtime bakery is known for its cakes and pies, and the menu covers a lot of ground. Look for the pecan tart, vegan key lime pie, and a vegan peanut butter pie that has a loyal following.
Cakes are a big deal here too. Chocolate red velvet, chocolate peanut butter mousse, Boston cream, gluten-free almond butter cake, and vegan carrot layer cake are all on the list.
The bakery also serves breakfast, soups, and sandwiches, so a pickup can double as lunch. It is open every day, with weekday hours starting at 8 AM and weekend hours at 10 AM.
Saturday afternoon is the busiest time.
7. Lil Mama’s Sweets and Treats, Augusta, GA
Sweet potato pie belongs on a Southern Thanksgiving table, and Lil Mama’s Sweets and Treats in Augusta makes a seasonal version worth ordering ahead.
This award-winning Southern bakery bakes scratch-made desserts, including pies, cakes, cookies, brownies, and Southern tea cakes. A mystery box of assorted treats is another fun option, and the pies tend to stand out in it.
Out-of-town family is not left out. The bakery offers nationwide shipping, and online orders arrive carefully packed.
Custom dessert orders and catering are also available, which helps with bigger gatherings. The shop at 950 15th St is open weekdays from 7 AM to 3 PM and closed on weekends, so plan pickups accordingly.
Parking is free, with a lot, garage, and street options.
