Start at 3717 E. Indian School Road and head east to 4001. Along that stretch you can order a pie from a bakery that began in a home kitchen, a fig-and-pecan pie from a neighborhood restaurant, and a pasture-raised turkey from a butcher. Each one runs its own calendar. Pie Snob closes Thanksgiving orders on November 13. Beckett's Table takes pie orders until November 21. Arcadia Meat Market's pre-order list carries no published cutoff at all.
The hard part of Thanksgiving week on Indian School Road is the schedule. If every order goes in before its own cutoff, Wednesday, November 25, becomes one afternoon of pickups on a single stretch of road.
The Calendar, in the Order It Closes
| Date | Business | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Friday, Nov. 13 | Pie Snob, 3933 E. Indian School Rd. | Thanksgiving pie orders due |
| Saturday, Nov. 21, 5 p.m. | Beckett's Table, 3717 E. Indian School Rd. | Fig-and-pecan pie preorders close |
| Tuesday, Nov. 24, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. | Pie Snob | Pie pickup, day one |
| Wednesday, Nov. 25, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. | Pie Snob | Pie pickup, day two |
| Wednesday, Nov. 25, noon–5 p.m. | Beckett's Table | Pie pickup at the restaurant |
| Thursday, Nov. 26, 7 a.m.–3 p.m. | Hash Kitchen, 4315 E. Indian School Rd. | Open Thanksgiving Day, per Arcadia News |
| Thursday, Nov. 26, from 5 p.m. | Dirtbag's, 4801 E. Indian School Rd. | Open for Bills–Chiefs, per Arcadia News |
Look at Wednesday the 25th. Pie Snob's pickup runs 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Beckett's Table hands out pies from noon to 5 p.m., so one afternoon trip covers both. That only works if both orders went in earlier in the month, and Pie Snob's order closes eight days before Beckett's does.
Pie Snob Closes First
Pie Snob's storefront at 3933 E. Indian School Road was the bakery's first, and it is still open. On the Pie Snob about page, the founder says her mother made six or seven pies to bring to Thanksgiving dinner every year. The business started with a few Christmas orders emailed to friends. It then spent about a decade in a garage converted into a commercial kitchen, and customers collected their pies in the founder's backyard. The Indian School storefront came after that. A 16th Street shop followed, and downtown Chandler opened in 2021.
Arcadia News lists this year's Thanksgiving flavors:
- Apple crumb
- Caramel apple
- Green chile apple crumb
- Chocolate pecan
- Pumpkin praline
- Pumpkin cheesecake
- Razzleberry double-crust
Arcadia News puts prices at $26 to $48, with orders due November 13 and pickup on November 24 and 25. Pie Snob asks Thanksgiving customers to order through its website rather than by email. The bakery also says whole pies in the case go first come, first served, and it rotates the weekly menu every Tuesday. A special order is the only way to be sure a whole pie is waiting for you.
Beckett's Table Gives You Eight More Days
Beckett's Table, at 3717 E. Indian School Road, makes one Thanksgiving dessert. It is a fig-and-pecan pie that serves six for $46, and you can add a $15 pint of citrus cream cheese ice cream. Preorders opened October 1 and close Saturday, November 21, at 5 p.m. Pickup is at the restaurant on Wednesday, November 25, from noon to 5 p.m. The Beckett's Table Thanksgiving order page takes orders directly. PhoenixBites included it in its October 25 Thanksgiving guide and called it "a distinctive alternative to the usual pecan pie."
The later deadline gives households a second chance. If November 13 passes before anyone decides who is bringing dessert, a pie can still come from this end of the street. Pickup falls on the same Wednesday afternoon as Pie Snob's.
Arcadia Meat Market Is the Open-Ended Stop
Arcadia Meat Market at 3950 E. Indian School Road covers the center of the table. Arcadia News reports fresh, local, pasture-raised Thanksgiving turkeys starting at $9.50 a pound, plus house-made sides, charcuterie, cheeses and meats at a range of prices.
The market's Thanksgiving pre-order list reaches past the turkey:
- Hand-rolled porchetta, $30
- Holiday ham, $24
- Thanksgiving stuffing sausage, one-pound bulk, $15
- Grass-fed beef rib roast and grass-fed beef tenderloin
- Leg of lamb roast
- Kave Bakery ham, spinach, Gruyère and onion quiche, plus a vegetarian quiche, $50 each
- Kave Bakery spiced pumpkin loaf, $45
That list covers Thanksgiving morning as well as dinner. A quiche and a pumpkin loaf take care of breakfast for anyone staying over, and the stuffing sausage goes into the dish most families argue about. The site lists no order cutoff or pickup window, so settle the timing at the counter when you order. That also makes the market an easy stop on the way to the Wednesday pie pickups.
The market gives a 10 percent discount year-round to veterans, active military, police officers, firefighters, first responders and teachers who show valid ID. That covers Veterans Day on November 11 as well as the holiday order.
The Wednesday Pickup, in Order
With orders placed at all three, the afternoon of November 25 looks like this:
- Arcadia Meat Market, 3950 E. Indian School Rd. Collect the turkey and anything else from the pre-order list first, at whatever time you set when you ordered.
- Pie Snob, 3933 E. Indian School Rd. Pickup runs 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Beckett's Table, 3717 E. Indian School Rd. Finish here before the 5 p.m. close.
Beckett's 5 p.m. close is the earliest cutoff of the day, so if the meat market pickup runs late, swap the order of the last two stops.
Thanksgiving Day Moves East
On Thursday, Indian School Road east of 40th Street does the work. Arcadia News reports that Hash Kitchen at 4315 E. Indian School Road will open Thanksgiving Day from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Its seasonal menu includes turkey-and-stuffing waffles, turkey hash, pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin spice drinks, and it runs at all six locations through December. On a normal Thursday the Arcadia location closes at 2:30 p.m., so if your group is arriving late in the morning, call to confirm holiday hours.
After dinner, Dirtbag's at 4801 E. Indian School Road plans to open at 5 p.m. and stay open until close, according to Arcadia News. The bar is the neighborhood's Bills Backer Bar. It will show the game on its big screens and serve its full menu of wings, burgers, pizza, chicken nachos, fried zucchini, tots and fries. The NFL's 2026 Chiefs schedule lists Chiefs at Bills on Thursday, November 26, at 8:20 p.m. Eastern on NBC.
When Nobody Wants to Cook Again
The same stretch of Indian School also helps on Friday and the rest of the weekend. In its October chili roundup, Arcadia News pointed to Chicago Hamburger Company at 3749 E. Indian School Road for chili dogs, chili fries and Frito pie. Next to the meat market, Eat Up Drive In at 4001 E. Indian School Road serves a gluten-free turkey chili and a vegan chili made with beans, quinoa and poblano, and either one can go on a baked potato. If the house is full of guests with different diets, that covers a lot of them in one stop.
A little farther east, Sacks Sandwiches at 4247 E. Indian School Road has served Arcadia for 36 years. Brothers Cary and Ivan Morrow run it as a family business, and every order still comes with a free cookie, a tradition inspired by the family matriarch, Wanda, according to Arcadia News. Leftover turkey sandwiches can wait until Saturday.
