Seven Places to Find Last-Minute Thanksgiving Pies in Denver

Thanksgiving week has arrived, which means you have three days to finish prepping for the big feast. Your turkey should be well on its way to being defrosted by now, and most of the deadlines for ordering to-go options from restaurants have passed. But if you're on pie duty and don't want to bake, no need to panic: There are still places where you can pick up a locally made dessert, including Milk Market.

The food hall at 1800 Wazee Street is hosting a pie pop-up on Wednesday, November 22, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be pecan, pumpkin and apple pies available for $35 each; you can also add a pint of Cornicello vanilla or butter pecan ice cream for $9.99. While pre-orders have closed, Milk Market assures that it will have pies on hand for walk-ins.
