Texas Costco Shoppers Celebrate the Return of its Massive Dessert

Welcome to fall, y'all! Okay, it may still feel like summer in Texas, but fall has officially arrived, well, at least according to Costco! That’s right, the beloved Costco pumpkin pie is back in Texas stores, and for many shoppers, that’s the only sign of autumn they need. Forget the cooler weather or football kickoffs- when this giant, creamy, spiced pie hits the shelves, Texans know it’s time to trade pool days for pumpkin season.

Costco's Massive Dessert is Back Earlier than Ever

Costco’s pumpkin pie isn’t just dessert, it’s kind of become a full-on fall tradition. For Texans, it signals the shift from endless summer heat to cozy holiday vibes, even if the thermometer still says 95 degrees. At nearly four pounds and 12 inches wide, this pie is built Texas-sized, making it perfect for family gatherings, football watch parties, or just keeping a slice (or three) in the fridge all season long.

Shoppers across the state swear by its creamy pumpkin filling and perfectly spiced flavor, calling it a fall staple from September through Thanksgiving. Some even grab more than one, stocking up for weekend get-togethers or freezing extras to make sure they don’t miss out later in the season.

And if you're like me, then you've been assigned dessert duty at the holiday table, this is definitely a life saver for me, and a huge hit! And yes, it's as good as it looks.

For many shoppers, the early return is a blessing. Some say it’s “never too early” to grab one, while others joke that Costco decides when fall officially begins in Texas. Either way, shelves don’t stay stocked for long- so if pumpkin pie is a tradition in your family, it might be smart to snag one (or two) before they fly off the bakery racks.
