Best Places In Omaha To Order Thanksgiving Pie Or Desserts
Baking is certainly not in my wheelhouse, which is why I buy my pies whenever I’m assigned that item to bring to a potluck. During the holidays this year, I’m making an effort to support local businesses, so instead of going to a well-known chain for a pie, I’m going to an Omaha bakery. Want to support local bakers, too? Here’s a list of Omaha bakeries, pop-ups, home/cottage bakeries, and restaurants with Thanksgiving pies and other baked specialties.

Where to pre-order Thanksgiving pie & desserts in Omaha
Big Mama’s Kitchen & Cafe
Where: 2112 N. 30th St., Suite 201, Omaha, Neb.
Big Mama’s, once featured in “Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives,” is selling pies (as well as Thanksgiving fare) for Thanksgiving Day pick-up. Their 2025 Thanksgiving Feast menu includes sweet potato pie and sweet potato cheesecake, as well as peach cobbler and sweet potato ice cream. Turkey is available, too, and prepared several ways.
Busy Bee Baking Co.
This is the seventh year that Busy Bee will donate 100% of all sales for Thanksgiving to a charity (this year, it’s Vita Nova Maternity Community). Orders must be placed by Nov. 20 and picked up by Nov. 26; pick-up is in Papillion. Their best-seller every year is bread pudding with pecan praline sauce.
Coneflower Creamery
Where: 1241 Millwork Ave. (the pick-up location)
The ice cream shop’s house-made ice cream pies are available to order for the holidays. Flavors include Brown Butter Pecan, Pecan, Pumpkin, Cherry, Sweet Potato, and Vegan/GF Gingerbread. They can be ordered online, by calling (402) 913-2399, or by stopping by the shop. Pick-up is at the Millworks Common location on Nov. 25 and 26 from noon to 10 p.m.
Good Lookin’
Where: 4919 Underwood Ave. and 16920 Wright Plaza, Suite 118
The restaurant offers two scratch-made pies available for pre-order: Cream Apple Crumble Pie and Toasted Honey Caramel Pumpkin Pie . Pre-orders are open through Nov. 23. Pick-up is on Nov. 26 at both locations.
Lithuanian Bakery
Where: 5217 S. 33rd Ave. and 7427 Pacific St.
A lot of people order Lithuanian Bakery bread for Thanksgiving, but to me, the most decadent treat on this list comes from the Lithuanian Bakery – the Original Vanilla Apricot Napoleon Torte. Even though it’s not a pie, it must be included on this list. (It’s that good)
You can have the torte shipped anywhere thanks to Goldbelly. However, I think it’d be cheaper to order pick-up from the bakery, if you’re in town. Call (402) 733-3076 to place an order.
Mi Gotita de Amor
This Puerto Rican cottage baker has desserts available for pre-order including flan in a variety of flavors and topped with a Thanksgiving design. They also offer a Puerto Rican bread tray and cheesecake.
Special K’s Cookies and More
Orders are open for several baked goods from this veteran-owned bakery, including pecan sticky buns ($22 a dozen), cinnamon rolls ($20 a dozen), pecan tarts ($25 with or without a chocolate drizzle), and soft dinner rolls ($7 a dozen). Pick up is Nov. 25 and 26; delivery available for a fee.
Sweet Magnolias Bake Shop
Where: 813 N. 40th St., Omaha, Neb., and 1222 Nicholas St. (inside Millwork Commons)
While I’m more familiar with Sweet Magnolias’s to-go pastry items like cinnamon rolls and cupcakes, they have a special pie menu just for Thanksgiving (that also includes those cinnamon rolls, as well as rolls). Pie pickup will be held at both locations on Nov. 26 between 7 a.m. and noon.
The Cheesecake Bar
This Omaha-based baker will deliver your order on Thanksgiving morning! They have full cheesecakes ($40) and a dozen variety pack cheesecake slices ($50) available for pre-order. Available flavors: Caramel Apple, Pumpkin Spice, Cherry, Strawberry, Bourbon Caramel, Espresso Stroopwafel, Bacon, Hot-Honey Peanut Butter, Blueberry Lemon, Plain or custom orders. To order, call or text (308) 218-1601.
Vala’s Pumpkin Patch & Apple Orchard
Where: 12102 S. 180th St., Gretna, Neb.
Vala’s Pie Barn has fans all over the state, and the variety of offerings can be a little overwhelming. I’d say you can’t go wrong sticking to the tasty traditional pies like apple pie (they have their own apple orchard, after all). Vala’s isn’t open after the pumpkin patch season ends, but they have their Thanksgiving Market pop-up on Nov. 25 and 26, so you can pick up your pie (or other dessert). They allow you to order online in advance or shop day-of. Online ordering closes on Nov. 22.
Village Pie Maker
Where: 13306 Portal Drive, Omaha
What to get: The Village Pie Maker started out as a small town operation in Eustice, Neb., but since its growing success, they’ve relocated to Omaha. They’re known for their take-and-bake pies that ship and are found in local grocery stores. They shipped me a pumpkin pie to try. If my family didn’t know better (ie. I’m a terrible baker), they’d have thought it was homemade. I occasionally see their pies in the freezer section of Hy-Vee, too.
Wenday’s Bakery & Culinary Adventures
The Council Bluffs-based cottage baker offers baked goods (including gluten-free versions) for pre-order ahead of Thanksgiving. Cakes, brownies and tarts are available, as well as cinnamon and caramel pecan rolls. Orders can be made by calling (813) 255-5153.
