Pie and turkey are a must at every Thanksgiving feast. The following places in Flagstaff and Williams are good options and take pre-orders for top notch pies. Most also serve up pie by the slice any other day of business. Yum!
Pine Country Restaurant
107 N Grand Canyon Blvd, Williams
928-635-9718
This is “the big mama” of the pie world in northern Arizona. They have 30 different pies available for your devouring every day! The Pine Country pies are so delish and served with a generous slice filling up the plate. You will want to go back for another slice at your next meal, even for breakfast. The options abound and they’ll fax you over a complete list if you give them a ring. That way you can have your choices narrowed down before you get there because once you gaze into that refrigerated pie case, you’re going to be tempted to get several. Pies are sold by the slice or whole and they only need a few days notice most of the time but for Thanksgiving it’s best to get orders in earlier. Pies range from traditional flavors like apple, pumpkin and Double Chocolate (see photo) to more exotic delights like Double Butterscotch, Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter and Hawaiian Delight. Let’s just say it’s a good thing there’s about 30 miles in between Flagstaff and Pine Country for your waistline.
