BEFORE YOU ORDER

When should I place my holiday order?
We begin accepting Thanksgiving orders on October 13th. We recommend placing your order as early as possible, as popular pickup times and holiday favorites often sell out before our ordering deadline.

 

Can I place an order on Thanksgiving Day?
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept online or phone orders on Thanksgiving Day. A limited selection of pies will be available for walk-in purchase while supplies last. Holiday feasts and other pre-order items are subject to availability and may no longer be available.

 

Can I pay when I pick up my pre-order?
To provide a faster pickup experience for all guests, all holiday pre-orders must be prepaid.

A limited number of pies will also be available for walk-in purchase on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Eve, but we strongly recommend pre-ordering to ensure you receive the items you’d like.

 

AFTER YOU’VE PLACED YOUR ORDER

How can I cancel my order, change my pickup date or time, or update the items in my order?
If you created an account when placing your order online, simply log in to make changes. The system will automatically cancel and refund your original order, then place a new order with your updated selections.

If you placed your order as a guest (without creating an account), we’ll need to cancel and refund your original order so you can place a new order with the correct information. Please email orders@pollyspies.com with your order details, and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Please note: Orders can only be changed or canceled at least 24 hours before your scheduled pickup time. Orders placed within 24 hours of pickup cannot be modified, canceled, or refunded.

 

Can I make alterations to my pie or feast?
Due to the large volume of holiday orders, we’re unable to accommodate special requests, including:

  • Adding whipped cream to a pie
  • Substituting sides in a feast

However, you can purchase pints of whipped cream and additional sides from our Sides & Extras menu.

 

Can I order my turkey sliced instead of whole?
We are only offering whole turkeys this holiday season and are unable to slice them.

 

I never received my confirmation email.
Please check your Spam or Junk folder first!
If you still can’t locate your confirmation email, please contact us at orders@pollyspies.com, and we’ll be happy to help.

 

PICKUP DAY

Do I need to print my order confirmation?
No, but we highly recommend bringing either a printed copy of your confirmation email on your phone. Having your confirmation ready helps us locate your order quickly and speeds up the pickup process!

 

Can someone else pick up my order?
Yes! Another person may pick up your order for you. We recommend they bring a copy of your confirmation email (printed or on their phone) and know the order number, if possible.

 

Will my pickup time be exactly on time?
Our team works hard to have every order ready at its scheduled pickup time. Due to the high volume of holiday orders, there may occasionally be a short wait. We appreciate your patience as we carefully prepare every order.

 

Can I pick up my order after my scheduled pickup time?
We’ll hold your order for up to one hour after your scheduled pickup time.

After that, we cannot guarantee your order will still be available, and refunds cannot be provided for orders that are not picked up. Arriving during your scheduled pickup window helps us serve all of our holiday guests as efficiently as possible.

 

Will I receive a refund if I don’t pick up my holiday order?
Because holiday pre-orders are prepared specifically for each guest, we cannot provide refunds for orders that are not picked up.

 

YOUR HOLIDAY PIE & FEAST GUIDE

Can I pick up my feast hot?
Due to the high volume of holiday orders, all feasts, sides, quiches, and other prepared items are available cold only and will require reheating at home.

 

How do I reheat my feast and/or sides?
You can view our heating instructions on our website here. We’ll also include a printed copy with your order when you pick it up.

 

Do I need to refrigerate my pie?
Our pies are made fresh daily and contain no preservatives.

  • Cream and Meringue pies must be refrigerated.
  • We recommend refrigerating all pies if they will not be enjoyed the same day.
  • Bake-at-home pies should remain frozen until you’re ready to bake them. Do not thaw before baking.

If you purchase a pie that is still hot and fresh from the oven, leave the pie box slightly open until it has completely cooled. Closing the box while the pie is still warm can trap moisture and affect the quality of the pie.
