Pie has to be one of the most essential dishes to serve at dinners, office parties, and other get-togethers this time of year. Pumpkin, pecan, sweet potato...you name it, we love it. While homemade pies baked with a side of love are always the best, these restaurants and bakeries offer a great runner-up.
