As Thanksgiving approaches, if you need to order a pie, dessert or rolls, you still have time, but hurry! Many Greater Cincinnati establishments will be ending their preorders over the weekend. That being said, a lot of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky bakeries and restaurants will still have pies and other goodies available on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Keep scrolling to see where you can still order and pick up a last-minute Thanksgiving pie or dessert. Worst comes to worst, you can always bake one! We believe in you!
Frisch’s Big Boy

Frisch’s pumpkin pie is a holiday staple in the Queen City – so much so that Frisch’s Mainliner is hosting a pre-Thanksgiving pumpkin pie eating contest with none other than Joey Chestnut. If pumpkin’s not your thing, most locations also offer whole cherry, apple, pecan and coconut cream pie. Photo via Frisch's Big Boy/Facebook.comHappy Chicks Bakery

You can order one on their new Heydey website for pickup on Tuesday, Nov. 22 or Wednesday, Nov. 23. Photo via O Pie O/Facebook.comThe BonBonerie
