In a world where everything is available at a click, it is somehow reassuring to visit or call Marion’s Pie Shop. Order Thanksgiving pies.

“Please do not email your order. “It will not be accepted,” he warned. Marion Pie Shop website At marionspiesshopofchatham.com/.

In a survey last week, Cape Cod Times readers voted Marion’s Pie Shop as the best place in the area to buy pie for Thanksgiving 2024.

But lace up your sneakers now and visit 2022 Main St. in Chatham or call them at 508-432-9439, as people who didn’t pre-order in past holidays have waited hours and those who showed up have tried their luck. Whether they’ll pick up one of the extra pies Marion’s staff is baking for the holidays.

The bakery’s website has a timer showing the seconds until Nov. 24 to pre-order the cake and other Thanksgiving treats. Pick up date is Tuesday, November 26th or Wednesday, November 27th.

The flavors are the same as last year: apple, blueberry, Baileyberry, lemon creme, chocolate creme, pumpkin and pecans. Bailey’s Berry is a variety of blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and raspberries named after its owner’s late German Shepherd Dog.

You can also order delicious pies as a side dish or to feed guests arriving the day before, with options featuring chicken, steak, burgers, scallops or seafood with or without vegetables. There’s pumpkin bread, but pumpkin-pineapple sounds good too.

Here’s the four-way tie for the top four voters and the fifth spot:

Notes: In 2021, Centerville Pie Shop began making Thanksgiving pie with stuffing, turkey, gravy and cranberries. The cake flew off the shelves. It’s a good news-bad news thing. Good news? A great cake. Bad news? The cake ($79.95 shipped) is already sold out for this year.

You can still get the chicken pot pie that brought Centerville PIe Co. to national fame in 2009 when talk show host Oprah Winfrey named it one of her all-time favorites. The chicken pot pies are sold at the Centerville store and local grocery stores for customers to cook at home.

Before you order the pie, treat yourself to a treat: Visit Cottage Street Bakery’s website, where you’ll find a gallery of photos of the pies the bakery sells. My favorite, the peach, is a single-skinned, open-topped creation with fruit arranged in a swirl pattern. The peach blueberry has a modified lattice shell, while the peach blueberry has a fleur-de-lis cut from the top shell. Of course, next to it is the strawberry-rhubarb with the fine, perfectly formed latticework that I could never achieve. I’ve spent a lot of time on the Cottage Street Bakery website and hope to return to order. Fruit tarts are $22 each, and Lemon and Chocolate Cream tarts are $25 each.

Cottage Street Bakery is open from 7 a.m. Wednesday to Sunday so you can grab a pie for breakfast. No judgment here.

Scapicchio’s, whose owner, Matthew Scapicchio, trained as a baker in Boston’s North End, is where Italians go, or those who want to eat Italian specialties. There are only four pie flavors on the menu, but one is ricotta, a soft, low-salt, sweet Italian cheese that makes a cloud-like pie. Are the other three pies for sale? Apple, blueberry and lemon.

The other thing I love about Scapicchio’s Bakery is that there’s always something new to discover: This time it was Japanese cannoli, rolls made in the style of cannoli but using delicious Japanese ingredients like nori and shiso leaves.
