With eight locations (plus an Allston classroom space) sprinkled across Boston, it’s hard not to bump into one of Joanne Chang’s Flour bakeries. Baked treats abound, and among the cookies and muffins you’ll find nine-inch pies, including Chocolate Cream, Coconut Cream, and a show-stopping Mile High Lemon Meringue. Each can be ordered by the slice or whole, with 24 hours’ notice. (Bonus: Chocolate Cream Pies can be made gluten-free.) Flour goes all out for holidays, so that you can serve Joanne Chang-approved classics like pumpkin, apple, and pecan at your meal. Check the company’s website prior to Thanksgiving and Christmas to browse offerings and order in advance.

The news that owner Sam Jackson is putting up KO Pies for sale in 2019 means it’s a better time than ever to take the East Boston Aussie pie pilgrimage. The savory, single-serving beauties come in traditional flavors like Irish Beef Stew, Braised Lamb Shank and Curried Vegetable, and can be enhanced with a “floater” of mashed potatoes, gravy, and mushy peas. Aside from dining in or taking it out, you can also pick up frozen pies for the future. On a snow day, you won’t regret having these handy in the freezer.

North End institution Mike’s Pastry has been enticing cannoli seekers since 1946, but trust us: You should embrace the season and give its pies a chance. This being a cannoli joint first and foremost, pie at the Italian bakery means a thick slice of caramelized crust stuffed with—what else—sweet ricotta. Just don’t assume it’s a cannoli in pie form: The filling is denser, with a little less of the sweetness you’d find squeezed into a cannoli shell.
