Where To Buy The Best Pumpkin Pie

The sugar-free, 8-inch pie was more expensive than the pies from Key Food, Costco, and Trader Joe's. It cost $6.29 when we purchased it. We were intrigued to see how a sugar-free pumpkin pie would taste compared to the others.

While Insider's team of taste-testers did enjoy the cinnamon flavor of the pie, the texture seemed chunky somehow. We thought it tasted vaguely as if someone simply mixed canned pumpkin with cinnamon and called it a day on their pie filling.

Wegmans has more than 90 stores across Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. After visiting the Wegmans in Brooklyn, New York, we were able to secure the grocery chain's pumpkin pie. It costs $9.00 and was the most expensive store-bought pumpkin pie we tried.

From the flaky crust to the delicious creamy filling with just the right amount of cinnamon and pumpkin flavor, Wegmans had it in the bag. From the more rustic-looking appearance to the delicious flavor, this store-bought pie blew us away and is definitely worth the couple extra dollars.

This one tastes oddly like a pumpkin muffin. There is an extra dose of sweetness here that takes focus away from the blend of cinnamon, ginger, and allspice and the consistency is a little wet. Not as offensively soaked as taste number one, but still off-putting.

Just looking at this weird patterned crust, I assumed this is our other frozen pie. After tasting it, if this is actually the frozen pie that will forever change my assumptions about frozen pies. This is easily the best pie of the lineup. Not only are the usual pumpkin spices all represented here: cinnamon, clove, allspice, cardamom, nutmeg, and ginger but they come together harmoniously, offering an enveloping wave of spices that is addicting to eat and deeply comforting.

But, if you brought a period-accurate pumpkin dish to your Thanksgiving celebrate, your family might not be very happy. So, instead of hollowing out that pumpkin on your stoop for a last minute alternative, play it safe and buy one of these store bought pumpkin pies instead.

This dreamy spiced pumpkin ice cream pie from Sweet Rose Creamery has a ginger cookie crust filled with spiced pumpkin ice cream and topped with whipped milk, pumpkin seeds and cinnamon sugar. Available at all five locations (Brentwood, Santa Monica, Mid-City, Pacific Palisades and Studio City). $48, order by Nov 15

The North Hollywood coffee and pie shop is known for having fantastic pies of all kinds (coconut cream! Espresso almond! Chocolate banana!), but this 10-inch, classic pumpkin variety is perfect for those who are craving a traditional dessert. $30, order five days in advance

I actually add it to my homemade pumpkin pie spice blend, too! Feel free to replace the ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and black pepper below with my homemade spice. (Keep the cinnamon in the filling though!)

I'm going to admit something. I'm not a huge pumpkin pie fan. I don't dislike them, I just don't love them enough to choose them over say, apple when it comes to my holiday pie eating choices. As such, I have never really learned to bake them, always relying on the guests who do love them to bring one along to my holiday celebrations.

Weirdly, this makes me the perfect person to guide you on choosing a store-bought pumpkin pie for your own meal: If I recommend them as a non-lover, you better believe they are worth eating! I tested all the available fresh and frozen store-bought pumpkin pies, and here are the six I would gladly serve at my own Thanksgiving table.

This pie couldn't be simpler: just bake straight from frozen. Really good crust, no soggy bottom, and the filling is well-spiced but not too sweet with good pumpkin flavor. Frankly, your guests might not even know you didn't make it from scratch, and I am not going to tell you not to hide the box in the bottom of the garbage can.

Consider this option a strong second to the Marie Callender's frozen pumpkin pie, which can be tricky to find. I felt the filling was slightly too sweet for my personal taste, but some unsweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream would help to balance that out.

The manhole-sized pumpkin pie at Costco will serve a good 24 people (it weighs nearly 4 pounds!), making it a great option for bigger gatherings. The crust is nicely flaky and the filling well-balanced. My recommendation is to cut into squares and not try to get wedge slices out of this thing; it is just too wide to make that easy.

At $4, you cannot beat this pie, and the filling was one of the best I tasted. The crust has good flavor but suffers a bit texturally, so I do recommend giving it a quick 10-12 minutes in a 400-degree oven to re-crisp it a bit.

Hi Jenn,Happy Thankgiving!!!I realize this is very last minute, but I have been asked to make pumpkin pie, and miraculously I have all ingredients except the crust! The only crust I have is a store bought graham cracker crust. Can I use this and if so, should I pre bake

A pumpkin is technically a fruit. Because pumpkin pie is made by blending pumpkin puree with eggs and cream, it is, therefore, a combination of fruit pie and cream pie. In this way, pumpkin pie is actually similar to banana cream pie.\"}},{\"@type\": \"Question\",\"name\": \"Is Pumpkin Pie Available Year-Round\",\"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\",\"text\": \"Because pumpkin is a seasonal fruit, associated with the fall harvest, pumpkin pie is most often consumed during that season, especially on the holidays in that time frame.
