Thanksgiving is days away and there’s so much to plan for – even if you’re not the host, there’s always something to be done and someone to be fed. Perhaps one of the most delicious parts of Thanksgiving is dessert after you’ve eaten all of the savory treats. If you’re in a pinch and don’t have the time to bake your own Thanksgiving pie, check out one of these great options at local pie shops around the Bay.
THANKSGIVING DESSERTS
If you want something beyond Thanksgiving pie, then consider these Local Bakeries for Your Thanksgiving Desserts. And if Thanksgiving pie has caught your eye, then read below for our picks to buy that perfect Thanksgiving Pie in Tampa Bay.
Mike’s Pies
Order those Thanksgiving pies from Mike’s! Local to Tampa, Mike’s first opened in a small retail store in the Bay Area in ’92.

Ever since Mike’s opened, his mission is to not only bring delicious pies but top-quality pies through consistency and heart. Pies include Brownie, Buttermilk, Chocolate Mousse, Coconut Cream, Key Lime, Mango Lime, Mississippi Mud Pie, Orange Blossom, and more. Mike also sells cakes and cheesecakes as well as gluten-free options fruit pies and no sugar fruit pies.
Moreno Bakery
Moreno Bakery is a local staple serving up delicious baked goods for years. The bakery is full of Cuban history starting with Mr. Moreno himself. When he first moved to Tampa in the 90’s he began working at Le Segunda Central Bakery in Ybor until opening up Moreno in 2008.
If you want a pie for Thanksgiving, Moreno Bakery is the place! Try an apple pie, blueberry pie, cherry, chocolate chess, chocolate cream, and so much more. Not to mention, his pies are super affordable!
