Houston Pie Shops That Make You Wish Everyday Was Thanksgiving
Growing up, every year, me and my family would gather around the table for a simple Thanksgiving feast—of course, the highlight of which was always the pies!
As I got older, I realized that I didn’t need to limit myself to feeling much gratitude once a year. After all, each day, we need to be grateful that we’re alive—and isn’t that enough reason to get a pie every day?
Gladly, Houston’s pie shops are thriving year-round with their savory and sweet pie slices that can make every day feel like a celebration!
So, let’s go over the city’s best pie shops where we can all order a slice of joy. Just thank me later!

Every Thanksgiving in Houston isn’t complete without a pie from Flying Saucer Pie Company. For over 55 years, this pie shop has been crafting your favorite mincemeat holiday pies!
While longer lines are expected during Thanksgiving, Houstonians don’t seem to mind queuing as there’s a great sense of neighborhood and bond while they all wait for their turn.
What’s great about Flying Saucer Pie Company is that they specialize in creating holiday-related pies. But, no need for you to wait for Valentine’s Day to get that strawberry pie, or even wait for Halloween to indulge in those pumpkin pies.
Here, you can get your seasonal pies no matter the time of year! Apart from the themed pies, Flying Saucer Pie Company has other cream pie flavors that you can get in small quantities.
