Searching how much do pies cost at perkins on your phone turns up a lot of pages guessing. We would rather you get a real number from the store you would order from, then bring it back and use it. That number is a fact about a chain, and your price is a fact about your kitchen.

Why This Page Has No Perkins Price Tag

We only print numbers we can stand behind, and our files do not hold a Perkins pie price we can confirm. A price copied from a blog would be a guess wearing a suit. If you need the figure for a birthday or a school event, one phone call settles it.

The one Perkins detail we can confirm is an order rule, not a price. The Bakery by Perkins menu on Seamless limits whole pie orders to 3 pies per flavor for same day pickup. That matters if you are feeding a crowd or comparing how a chain handles a big order.

You can still use this page. Get the number, write it down, and keep it beside your own costs. A reference point you can defend beats a price you copied and cannot explain.

Get the Perkins Pie Price in Five Minutes

Do this before you set your own prices. You want a quote for a whole pie, not a slice, on an ordinary day, from the store you would actually walk into.

1. 1

   Call the store closest to you

   Ask for the bakery or whoever takes pie orders. Say you want a whole pie, not a slice, and ask the price of the flavor you have in mind.

2. 2

   Open the order page

   Find the location on Seamless or the store’s own order page and look at the whole pie section. Take a screenshot so the price is still there next week.

3. 3

   Ask about the per flavor cap

   The same menu limits whole pie orders to 3 pies per flavor for same day pickup. Check that your order fits before you plan around it.

4. 4

   Ask what the price includes

   Find out whether the box, a bag, and any extras are in the price. Ask whether a large order needs a deposit.

5. 5

   Write the number down with the date

   Prices move. Note the day you checked so you know how old the figure is when you hold it up against your own price.

What the Perkins Number Can and Cannot Tell You

A chain pie price tells you what one business near you charges for a standard pie. It does not tell you what that pie costs to make, and it says nothing about your oven, your gas, or your hours. Use it beside what a pie should cost once you count your own time, not instead of it.

Treat the chain number as a ceiling test. If your pie sits well above it, give the customer a reason they can see in the photo: a better crust, local fruit, a design, or a dietary option. If your price sits far below it, check your math before you celebrate.

Chain prices are easy to find once you know where to look. Our guide to McDonald’s pie prices does the same job for a smaller pie. It gives you a reference point, not a cost sheet.

Price Your Pie From Your Real Costs

Every price has to clear three things before a dollar of it is yours. Get all of them on one page and pricing stops being a feeling. The same batch math for cookies works for anything you bake at home.

Ingredients first. Cost one whole recipe, including the fruit, the butter, the spice, and anything you throw out, then divide by the number of pies it fills. Packaging second. A pie box, a label, a bag, and a sticker each get counted per pie, not per order.

Your time is third and it is usually the biggest. Track the real hours: shopping, mixing, chilling, baking, cooling, boxing, and the messages back and forth. Pick an hourly rate you would accept from someone else.

Overhead is fourth, and it is the line most home bakers skip. Oven gas, foil, dish soap, and the share of a permit or a rented kitchen that this order uses all count. Add them up, then divide by the pies in the batch.

A Worked Example With Two Apple Pies

Here is the math with placeholder numbers you swap for your own. Two apple pies, baked in one afternoon, sold to one customer who found you on your shop page.

For example: ingredients come to $14 for both pies and the boxes and labels are $2. You spend two hours on shopping, baking, cooling, and boxing, and you pay yourself $18 an hour, which is $36. Gas, foil, soap, and the share of your yearly permit that this order uses come to $4. Total cost is $56, or $28 a pie.

At $24 you baked for free and paid $8 for the privilege. At $32 you kept $8, which is $4 an hour on top of your $18. A Perkins price check will never show you that gap, because the chain knows its own costs and only you know yours.

Notice what the example leaves out: a delivery run, a second trip for fruit, or a customer who swaps flavors on Friday. Add those lines when they happen, and reprice the next order to match.

Mistakes That Cost You Money on a Pie Order

Each of these shows up after the pie is out of the oven, when the price is already set. Read them before the next order, not after.

What to Check Before You Quote a Price

Run this list every time. The date and pickup window. The number of pies and the flavors. Whether the box is included. Who pays for delivery. Whether you want a deposit. One message with all five answers saves a week of texts.

Keep a sheet for each order: date, flavors, cost, price, and what you actually got paid. After ten pies you will see your own pattern, and the next quote takes two minutes instead of twenty. If you sell a mix of bakes, know what a cake costs per serving so your pie price sits sensibly on the same menu.

Common questions

Why is there no Perkins pie price on this page?

Our files do not hold a Perkins whole pie price we can confirm, and we will not print a guess. The reliable route is the store itself. Call the location you would order from or open its order page and read the whole pie price for that day.

Can I order more than three pies of one flavor at Perkins?

The Bakery by Perkins menu on Seamless caps whole pie orders at 3 pies per flavor for same day pickup. If you need more of one flavor, call the store and ask about ordering ahead for another day. Ask about the cap at your own location too.

Is a chain pie price a fair target for my home baked pie?

It is a reference point, not a target. A chain price reflects that chain's costs and its scale. Your pie carries your ingredients, your hours, and your kitchen. Use the chain number to learn what people around you already pay, then price from your own costs.

What should I charge for a pie when I am just starting?

Start from cost, not from a guess. Add ingredients, packaging, your hours at a rate you would accept from an employer, and the overhead the order uses. Divide by the number of pies. Anything above that total is your margin, and it should be a real number.
