The bad news is you had to act early to order a Partial to Pie pie for the holiday. By the last week in October, all Thanksgiving orders — around 300 pies — were booked up, said owner Marie Clark.
But it's not too early to start thinking about Christmas. Clark said she will begin accepting online orders the day after Thanksgiving (the shop will be closed Nov. 29-30.)
