Pie makers in Denver and beyond are gearing up to bring us all everything that means fall and Thanksgiving and winter holidays inside a perfect pie crust with fillings that warm our hearts and bring back memories of special times shared with loved ones. Now is the right time for pie with all of the tradition and magic it brings about.

Sixteen different shops and bakeries are listed for you to choose from. Weigh your options carefully and consider going outside the box with choices like the Helliemae's Chili Palmer Pecan Pie at Wednesday's Pie, the traditional yet unexpected Linzer Torte at City Bakery, and the charming Purple Pear (a pear lavender crumble) from the Long I Pie.
