Pies can sometimes be the highlight of the festive feast but whether you’re hosting a celebration or just looking to contribute something delicious to a dinner you’re going to, you don’t need to worry about making your own. These 33 restaurants and bakeries throughout the Chicago area offer all the classics plus plenty of novel flavors like cranberry fudge and balsamic-raspberry-pear.
