🍁 Where can you get the best pumpkin pie in NJ?

October and November are pie months in New Jersey.

Now that we are getting into the Thanksgiving season, it’s time to start putting in your pumpkin pie order at bakeries and farms across the state. That’s if you’re not baking one yourself at home.

Where can you get the best pumpkin pie in New Jersey? We asked our listeners and as usual, the responses were overwhelming.

Here are the top 10 places in NJ for pumpkin pie

Costco

21 New Jersey locations (Bayonne, Brick, Bridgewater, Cherry Hill, Clifton, East Hanover, Edison, Flemington, Hackensack, Hazlet, Lawrence Township, Morganville, Mount Laurel, North Brunswick, North Plainfield, Ocean, Stafford Township, Teterboro, Union, Wayne, and Wharton). A new Costco is coming to Paramus.

Believe it or not, the response was overwhelmingly in favor of Costco having the best pumpkin pie in the state.

Many agreed that the pies are not only huge and affordable ($5.99-$7.99), depending on the market), but also delicious. The 12-inch nearly three-pound pie is made with a classic pumpkin puree recipe, eggs, sugar, and spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.

Of course, you have to be a Costco member or know someone who is, but at this price, if you can do it, then pick up a pumpkin pie for the holidays.

Delicious Orchards

320 NJ-34, Colts Neck

It’s no surprise that one of New Jersey’s most famous orchards made the list. Delicious Orchards offers a fresh fruit and scratch bakery, with tons of flavors available. A fall tradition and classic is their pumpkin pie, made from scratch, and baked until a perfect golden brown.

To freeze one of Delicious Orchards’ baked pumpkin pies, place the pie in the freezer unwrapped, freeze until solid, then wrap the pie in a plastic bag and place immediately back in the freeze. To thaw, unwrap the pumpkin pie, and leave it on the counter at room temperature. Do not heat.
