Thanksgiving is a holiday built around tradition, with family gatherings and food at its heart. For many of us, carving the turkey and sharing slices of pie are what make Thanksgiving dinner special, but cooking these items to perfection can be a daunting task. One of the easiest ways to ensure that everybody enjoys a stress-free and successful Thanksgiving is to pre-order pies and BBQ from the trusted artisans at Goode Co. Shop.
We will ensure that your Thanksgiving table is as impressive as it is flavorful, with all the necessary flourishes that make the holiday magical. However, it’s essential to remember that timing matters if you want to avoid disappointment on the big day, as our bakeries and smokehouses can only produce a limited number of holiday orders. Wait too long, and you could miss out or face shipping delays at this busy time of year, so it’s crucial to plan ahead to ensure your Thanksgiving delivery arrives on time, trouble-free, and ready to enjoy.
When to Order Pies for Thanksgiving
Recommended Ordering Window
Pies, including our famous Goode Co. Shop Brazos Bottom Pecan Pie, is often the first item to sell out during the holiday season, and for a good reason! To secure your Thanksgiving pie pre-order, it’s best to order by November 17th or earlier. By early November, favorites quickly disappear from our shelves, so as a safe bet, order pie early in Thanksgiving month to ensure your centerpiece dessert is available.
Shipping Cut-Offs for Pies
At Goode Co. Shop, we ship nationwide, so if you’re relying on pie delivery, it’s essential to be mindful of our shipping cutoff dates. You can find detailed information on our holiday shipping information page; however, carriers are often overwhelmed, and shipping delays are common during the holiday rush, so it’s always best to order sooner rather than later. Choose Monday, Nov 17th (or earlier) as your "Ship-By Date" at Checkout to help your order arrive before Thanksgiving! Shipments scheduled after Nov 17th may experience delays.
Storage and Serving Tips for Pies
We want your pie to be served in the best possible condition, and knowing how to store pie after delivery is key to keeping it fresh. While our pecan pies have a shelf life of three weeks at room temperature, we recommend refrigerating them immediately to ensure their freshness and quality at the Thanksgiving table. If you'd like to place your order early, that's no problem! You can freeze pies ahead of time for up to three months in their original packaging.
When to Order Thanksgiving BBQ
Recommended Ordering Window
If Goode Co. Shop is famous for one thing, it’s authentic Texas barbeque. Thanksgiving is the perfect time to bring Texas-style smoked brisket, mesquite-smoked turkey breast, sausage, or ribs to the table (or order The Pride of Sam Houston or The Independence BBQ packs for some mouth-watering combinations). Our BBQ takes hours to smoke, and supplies are limited, so it’s always best to order early to beat the surge in demand in November. If you are wondering when to order BBQ for Thanksgiving, the golden rule is to allow an extra business week for shipping before the holidays.
BBQ Shipping Cut-Offs
Just like with our pies, there are cutoff dates for Goode Co. Shop BBQ products in the run-up to Thanksgiving. Typically, our orders arrive after just two business days. However, delays should be expected in November and December. Choose Monday, Nov 17th (or earlier) as your "Ship-By Date" at Checkout to help your order arrive before Thanksgiving! Shipments scheduled after Nov 17th may experience delays.
