Pie is so nostalgic. It’s the centerpiece of a holiday family meal, and it’s a comforting bite of goodness after a long day. If your sweet tooth is anything like ours, you can thank your lucky stars you’re from Texas – where it’s almost harder to find a place that DOESN’T serve pie as a mandatory part of supper. Looking for the best pies in Texas? We know just where you should go.

Of course, having so many options has its downfalls – it can leave you overwhelmed as to where to go first! Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Serving everything from classic apple, pecan and pumpkin to the more exotic peanut butter cup and even red velvet, these are the 18 best places to get pie in Texas.
