Grand Traverse Pie Company
There is nothing more mouthwatering than a freshly baked pie, is there? I wouldn’t dare argue with that statement. Since just a few of us can find time to devote to baking over recharging our batteries, I said yes to a pie subscription. And so should you! Well, right after you find your perfect option in my review.
With a monthly pie subscription, you'll get delivery of this America's favorite dish directly to your door. Whether you want sweet or savory, creamy or crunchy, fruity or nutty, these services have something in store for you!
Plus, a pie of the month club makes dinnertime – wait for it – easy as pie.
In my review, we'll dive into the 6 best monthly clubs for pie lovers. Some require membership – others allow for the shipping of pies even without a subscription.

My Top Pie of the Month Clubs: Full Review
1. Goldbelly (Editor's Choice)
The Goldbelly subscription service delivers a box of sweet pies every month with 8 to 10 servings. The pies come from the nation's best pie shops.
- Best Match For: Food enthusiasts who want a marketplace that can offer them exclusive and gourmet dishes, sweets, meats, meal kits, pizzas, and pretty much anything food-related.
- Commitment Level: One-time orders; 3-, 6-, 9-, or 12 month subscriptions
- Availability: All 50 states
- Value: Prices and shipping fees vary depending on select items
- Type: A curated online marketplace of the best gourmet foods from small shops and restaurants across the nation.
Fancy a juicy berry pie, the perfect mix of sweet and sour in an apple ditto, or the crunch that only comes with a pecan caramel pie? Goldbelly has your back (or belly)!
Pies are sent to you directly from the food makers for guaranteed freshness.
Psst: rumor has it one of the country's best Florida Key lime pies is part of their pie selection!
What I Like
What I liked the most about Goldbelly was their wide selection of pies. My family and I could never get bored of trying them out. In fact, I discovered some new fillings and toppings for myself. Thinking of them now, a molasses-filled pie with cinnamon-brown sugar was the one that I remember most vividly. The taste was out of this world.
What’s more, I have made one-time orders of one pie in particular - Megan’s H-Town Hottie pie that claimed and proved to be the sweetest thing I could have ever put in my mouth.
What I Don’t Like
One thing that has saddened me was Goldbelly’s lack of subscription modification. Goldbelly justifies it by saying that it wants its customers to be open to new tastes. However, I hope this option may be available later in the future.
PROS
Cons
My Verdict
Overall, I was very pleased with the short subscription that I got. One pie was enough for my whole family for a few days, and I also got to enjoy the leftovers. And if you ever get bored with subscription pies, you can always order fresh, unique, savory and sweet pies straight to your doorstep.2. Amazing Clubs
Amazing Clubs had a promising name as we s-pie-d around for the best Pie of the Month subscriptions. And they deliver on that promise: Amazing Clubs sends you a monthly box of a variety of delicious, gourmet pies.
- Best Match For: Anyone looking for a fantastic selection of gift of-the-month clubs that allow you to give out unique subscriptions with premium products people will surely enjoy.
- Commitment Level: 3-, 6-, 12-month subscription.
- Availability: Everywhere in the US
- Value: You can sign up for monthly delivery of beer for $42.95, wines for $45.95, bacon for $49.95, chocolate for $35.95, and many other gift of the month clubs. Shipping is free to the contiguous US.
- Type: Gift of the month clubs
Pies are shipped oven-fresh directly from some of the country's most prominent bakeries. They are made with high-quality, all-natural ingredients. Each shipment contains 8-10 servings depending on how hungry you are (I totally get it if you're eating the whole pie yourself – believe me, you’re not alone), and you get to taste different pies each month to discover new favorites.
My monthly delivery came with Amazing Clubs' generous "They'll Love It!" guarantee, meaning I could get a new product or a refund if I was not satisfied. But it was impossible not to love their pies. I wish I could reject any for the sake of my review, but all of the orders were heavenly and delicious.
By the way, if you ever get to use the guaranteed cover, you can even request a new pie in a different price range and pay the difference. And if the selected pie costs less, Amazing Clubs will pay you back the difference. Nice as pie!
What I Like
I loved a pie subscription box that came with a pie big enough for my entire large family. I got to share slices and not worry about hiding one piece for myself. One thing I particularly like about Amazing Clubs is how they care about their customers.
During the span of my subscription, I received a ton of curious information about the pies and even some facts I didn’t know before. I won’t give you any spoilers in case Amazing Clubs want to surprise you, too.
What I Don’t Like
I was frustrated to learn that I couldn’t customize my order. I understand that, like Goldbelly, the company wants to surprise you with different fillings and flavors. However, by customizing my subscription, I would have gotten only the pies I love.
PROS
CONS
My Verdict
If you like big portions like me, you will be happy with Amazing Clubs’ pies. The subscription also offers free shipping to anywhere in the US, so you don’t pay for any extras. If this is a deal that sounds right to you, go ahead and purchase it; but remember, your order cannot be customized, so choose wisely.
3. Grand Traverse Pie Company
How about juicy fruit pies, sweet and tangy cherry pies, nutty tones of pumpkin and pecan pies, cream pies melting in your mouth, or the bite-sized treat of a mini pie? Grand Traverse Pie delivers pies that you already know you will find delicious, or you can leave the choice up to them to surprise your taste buds.
- Best match for: The conscious pie-consumer wanting to support a local family business.
- Commitment Level: One-time order, 3-, 6-, 12-month subscription.
- Availability: Everywhere in the US.
- Value: You can purchase a 3-month subscription for $98.97, a 6-month subscription for $197.94, and a 12-month subscription for $395.88. Shipping costs are charged separately.
- Type: Grand Traverse offers 12 different pies for each month.
Grand Traverse Pie Company delivers a box per month filled to the brim with fresh pies. Pick 3, 6, or 12 months of either pie of your choice or a surprise subscription to get a selected pie every month.
When I was doing my research about the company, I found out that Grand Traverse Pie Company has a bakery in Michigan from which they ship all their products. Regardless of where you live, the pies always come fresh, which I can attest to after receiving mine.
Before subscribing to the club, I had to pick 12 different pies. Every month, a selected pie entered the limelight (perhaps a Key lime pie!) to facilitate life for my decision fatigue.What I Like
When choosing the pies for my 3-month subscription, I could check each pie separately. There is a question mark next to each option that demonstrates the pie and has a short description of it.
Some companies prefer to keep their pies a secret – however, it was more fun for me to check each one of them and get only those that I was most curious about. So, if you are a bit of a control freak like me, you will like this club a lot.
What I Don’t Like
The pies were great, and the service was fast. The only disadvantage of this club was the shipping cost. Now, if you live closer, the delivery price would be lower than what I had to fork out and the extra cost wouldn’t be as problematic for you as it was for me.
But if you are looking for a pie club with shipping included, I recommend you consider one of the other options I’ve reviewed here.
PROS
CONS
My Verdict
Grand Traverse lets its clients choose the pies they want, and most of them are really tasty with fresh fruit and mouth-watering toppings. Made with natural ingredients and trans-fat-free, the bakery gives you an impressively long list of all the pies they have on offer. If you want to be surprised, simply choose the ‘Select GT Pick for all months’ and don’t worry about picking anything.
4. Three Babes Bakeshop
Three Babes Bakeshop was born out of pure pie love as a pop-up shop in California. The company is owned by two women with a little help from their moms.
- Best match for: The pie-hard fan wanting their weekly pies.
- Commitment Level: 3 months, 6 months, 12 months.
- Availability: Everywhere in the US.
- Value: Weekly frequency for $150/month; twice a month for $80/month; once a month for $43/month. Shipping is charged separately.
- Type: Pies can be sent as a gift to someone else.
In contrast to monthly pie clubs, Three Babes Bakeshop lets you order pies weekly or bi-weekly. For those with big pie cravings that is an excellent deal. Why wait for another pie for a month when you can have them every other week?
You can order pies to be shipped to either your home or office. Bear in mind, however, that you have to be there to receive the pies personally (or else they risk getting pie-napped).
You can choose between a variety of homemade pies, and there are even options for vegans or gluten-intolerant peeps. Oh, and if you wanna steal their best-kept pie-making secrets, Three Babes Bakeshop offers regular online classes, teaching you to replicate their delicious dishes in your own kitchen! I joined a few to test my baking abilities; unfortunately I have to admit there is a lot of room for improvement!
What I Like
When I signed up for a monthly subscription with Three Babes Bakeshop, not only did I get my hands on special pies not always available on their website or in their bakery, but I also got discounts and sometimes special treats like a mini apple pie or a delicious pastry. Life is full of surprises – these are definitely the kind I fancy!
What I Don’t Like
I have nothing much to complain about when it comes to Three Babes Bakeshop. I received tasty pies, even more exquisite than other bakeries could offer. I would love to have shipping costs included, though, especially when I used a biweekly frequency that equaled $40 per pie. It’s definitely on the pricey side.
PROS
CONS
My Verdict
Subscribing to the pie club from Three Babes Bakeshop, you can be sure you will receive pie made with seasonal ingredients that are local and organic. Moreover, you get to taste pies that are not sold on the regular menu and that others can’t simply purchase. This exclusive offer is what makes this subscription special for me. The price point is a little steep, though.
5. Tottie Pie Co.
Tottie Pie Co. lets you order gourmet pies, cheesecakes, creamy chocolate brownies, and more that could pass for art pieces rather than pastries.
- Best match for: The picky pie gourmand wanting the crème de la crème.
- Commitment Level: 3-, 6-, 12-month subscription.
- Availability: Shipping to ground states, including TX, OK, KS, MO, LA, MS, AL, GA, TN, IL.
- Value: 3-month subscription for $155; 6-month subscription for $290; 12-month subscription for $545.
- Type: No overlap in flavors during your subscription.
Similar to other Pie of the Month clubs, this bakery bakes with natural, mostly organic ingredients and just the right amount of spices. You can expect your pies to be free from preservatives and unnecessary chemicals.
What I Like
What differentiates Tottie Pie Co. from others is its dessert specialists. Yes, you read correctly! And I had a chance to chat with one over the phone and consult about the possible fillings and toppings I might receive during my subscription.
If the Tottie Pie Co. subscription looks tempting to you, I suggest you make a call to the bakery and consult one of their experienced dessert specialists.
What I Don’t Like
The shipping costs aren’t included in the subscription which I think some people - including me - consider a disadvantage.
Tottie Pie Co. didn’t send me the same pie twice but, at the same time, I couldn’t customize my subscription to pick the flavors I wanted to try out the most.
PROS
CONS
My Verdict
If I ignore the extra shipping costs and lack of order customization on the website, there are quite a few awesome benefits of this Pie of the Month subscription. I got to speak with a dessert expert, received all the pies on time, and discovered a load of new flavors that I loved.
6. Pie Gourmet
Looking for a handmade, artisan pie prepared with love? Then Pie Gourmet is something for you!
- Best match for: The dessert discoverer wanting to explore new, exciting pie territory.
- Commitment Level: One-time order.
- Availability: Everywhere in the US.
- Value: Prices and shipping fees vary depending on select items.
- Type: Savory, sweet, fruit pies and more are available.
Pie Gourmet’s pies are all-natural and baked with local apples from their bakery in Vienna, VA.
While many monthly pie subscriptions have mainly sweet pies, Pie Gourmet offers both sweet and savory pies.
Feel for a fruit pie, a chocolate pecan one, the creamiest of cheesecakes, or local delicacies such as sweet potato pie? Pie Gourmet satisfies both your sweet tooth and your desire for something salty! Their products are to pie for.
What I Like
Pie Gourmet’s menu feels endless with pies of all kinds. I love savory pies - they are perfect for lunch and dinner. Sweet pies are a must-have in my household, too. Both kinds are mouth-watering, and I wish I could keep them coming to my doorstep forever.
What I Don’t Like
I wouldn’t like to miss out on the opportunity to subscribe for regular sweet and savory pies, but Pie Gourmet doesn’t offer such a subscription at the moment. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll see it in the future. Unfortunately, I could only purchase a few pies from their menu to try out.
PROS
CONS
My Verdict
If you aren’t fond of subscriptions but want to eat a pie on special occasions only, Pie Gourmet will become your go-to bakery. With a large selection of delicacies, it offers fresh pastries with fresh and organic ingredients. I have already subscribed to their newsletter, and you should too!
Do I Need a Membership?
No, not all food of the month clubs for pies require you to have a membership or sign up for a certain amount of time. Many Pie of the Month clubs let you sign up for 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months, with members getting a lower price per pie the longer they sign up for.
Some companies – such as Soulfully Yours Bakery and Pie Gourmet – don't even offer subscriptions per month but work like online webshops for food. Order as often as you like – we say yes to the everyday luxury of a fresh pie straight from the bakery delivered to your doorstep!
Monthly Pie Clubs and Diets
A natural question is, does your Pie of the Month club cater to diets and common food allergies? Quite a few of them do! Vegan pies can be found at Goldbelly and Three Babes Bakeshop, where the latter also has gluten-free and nut-free versions. Grand Traverse Pie Company offers pies free from trans fats. Naturally, the sweet pies are vegetarian – you may want to keep an eye on the savory ones where chicken and meat are common fillings.
How to Store Your Pies
A monthly pie subscription often gives a generous amount of pie, inviting for a cozy moment to share with family or friends. Or maybe share with your colleagues at work?
If you prefer to eat all pie on your own, first of all – we totally get you, second – even the biggest pie junkie in the world will have a hard time finishing it in one go. This leads us to the question of how to store your pies to keep their flavors and make sure they don't perish.
It ultimately depends on the type of pie, as well as the company and bakers, but as a rule of thumb:
Delivery
How and when the companies deliver their delicious pies depends. In most cases, you do not need to be at home to receive your items. However, for others, you need to leave a signature to verify that the order was indeed received. Check the website of the company of your choice for more details.
Many monthly clubs also deliver their pies overnight for an additional shipping fee. Perfect for those days when you just can't wait for the day when your monthly pie subscription box arrives!
Skip or Cancel an Order
The rules and regulations for skipping and canceling orders vary between the different subscriptions. For some of the companies, you can sign up for 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months. This gives you a prepaid membership that often can't be refunded.
Other companies offer more flexibility in their plans and let you skip or cancel anytime. For some, you even get your money back if you're not completely satisfied with your order.
FAQS
Most pie club clubs deliver one box per month. Some services, like Three Babes Bakeshop, offer weekly or bi-weekly pie packages. Others, like Soulfully Yours Bakery and Pie Gourmet, do not work with the membership model or subscriptions – but let you order at your convenience like a regular webshop. That way, you can get unlimited pie!
The best monthly membership for pies depends on what you're after. For real gourmet pies, Soulfully Yours Bakery delivers pies perfect for that special occasion – such as birthdays, graduation parties, or anniversaries. They offer birthday cakes and other types of pastries made for sharing with friends and family members!
The companies have different types of pies and pastries in store. Some of them focus on sweet pies, while others have both types and also offer quiches, lasagnas, brownies, and birthday cakes. There are a lot of options – this review is one way to get information about them all, and a virtual taste of which pies are the perfect ones for you!
The companies we've covered should deliver in the entire continental US. Check the respective website of each company for delivery information in your area.
Each company has its own unique selection of pies. Examples of the pies that you can order from the monthly pie clubs are apple pies, key lime pies, pecan pies, berry pies (like blackberry pies), and chocolate pies. Some companies also let you order pre-baked pie shells that you can fill with your own favorite ingredients. Why not come up with your own awesome recipe?
If you're into the crunchy feeling of a crumble pie, the menus of these clubs won't let you down.
On the savory side, you can order things like broccoli pie with mozzarella cheese, chicken pot pie, crab & mushroom quiche, spinach pie, the French delicacy Quiche Lorraine with bacon and eggs, and the classic Shepherd's pie.
The Bottom Line
Almost everyone has a relationship with pies and a personal top pick. There are endless types of this comfort food – sweet, salty, tangy, fruity, creamy, compact, crispy, and crunchy. You can indulge in a decadent pecan caramel pie, let the sourness vibrate your taste buds in the key lemon one, or make a healthy choice by opting for a filling of flavorful veggies.
Whatever pie version you feel like devouring today, be sure to find it in one of the pie of the month clubs! A sure way to wave good-pie to dry desserts and say hi to the creamy side of life.
