Order Verzênay bakery’s extravagant Thanksgiving Pies and Treats
Traditional Thanksgiving pies and authentic French delights elevate your holiday weekend

Verzênay, the exquisite French bakery in Chicago’s Lincoln Park (2507 N. Lincoln Avenue; Chicago, IL; 773-799-8312 ) always takes its Thanksgiving pies and other goodies to a higher level. Conceived in the superb French pastry tradition, Verzênay’s commitment to classic French quality in its creations might also remind Chicagoans that the city was founded by French colonists and that French culture greatly influenced the city from its earliest days. So, consider this: a Chicago Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete without a bit of Verzênay’s French quality and elegance thrown into the mix. N’est-ce pas?“What differentiates our baked goods from other bakeries in Chicago is we unwaveringly focus foremost on taste and quality in everything we produce, from our more American-style items to our authentically French items,” said Pâtissiere and Owner Arshiya Farheen. “We want our customers to feel a sense of pride when they serve our desserts—that is the French tradition.”
Verzênay’s seasonal Thanksgiving pies are beautiful pies whose flavor, texture, appearance, and overall enjoyment are elevated well beyond the typical pie. For Thanksgiving, choose from these ever-popular pies, all sold whole or by the slice: Pumpkin (gingerbread cookie crust and chef blend of pumpkin spice mix); Apple (all-butter pie crust, Granny Smith apples, almonds, dark brown sugar, and spices); Pecan (all-butter pie crust, pecans, lyle syrup, and dark brown sugar). Even more indulgent, choose the beautiful French Silk Pie (chocolate shortbread cookie crust, dark chocolate mousse, hazelnut praline feuilletine, and whipped cream).
