PanSpanTupperware Pie Taker
Which pie carrier will get your pie to a family gathering without crushing the topping or making it awkward to carry?
For a regular drive to a potluck, I’d choose the JOEY’Z carrier: its handle, locking clips and stated fit for desserts up to 10 inches wide and 4 inches tall make it the clearest match for secure carrying. If you came specifically for a Tupperware pie taker, the Tupperware is still the direct choice, with a virtually airtight, liquid-tight seal and room for a pie up to 10 inches. For a tall meringue or a fluted dish, check the actual clearance and fit before committing; a carrier’s outside size doesn’t tell you what will fit inside. Here’s how the other options compare for travel, storage and serving.
#1 · JOEY'Z
JOEY'Z Pie Carrier with Lid and Handle - Fits Pies 10in x 4.5in, BPA Free | Doubles as Divided Serving Tray, Cheesecake Container Dessert Carrier Pie Container With Lid, Cheesecake Containers with Lids
Choose this for routine car trips when a carry handle and clips matter most. It fits desserts up to 10 inches wide and 4 inches tall, and the base can be flipped into a divided serving tray.
#2 · Tupperware
Tupperware Large 12" Round Pie Taker Container, Holiday Red Seal
This is the one to take if you want the Tupperware pie taker itself: it holds a pie up to 10 inches and has a virtually airtight, liquid-tight red seal. It also works for a dozen cupcakes or other baked goods.
#3 · Southern Homewares
Southern Homewares Pie Carrier with Lid and Handle – 3-in-1 Plastic Dessert Container for Pies, Cakes, Cupcakes, and Muffins
Pick this if you want one carrier with three container configurations for different desserts and occasions. It has a lid and handle, making it a flexible choice for taking pies, cakes or cupcakes along.
#4 · Evelots
Evelots Pie Container with Lid, 4-Pack, 11-Inch, Clear BPA-Free Carriers | Each measures 11 x 11 x 3.5 inches and fits baked goods up to 10 inches wide; secure covers help simplify travel and storage.
This four-pack suits a baker who often brings several smaller pies or baked goods to gatherings, or wants carriers for sharing and storage. Each carrier is intended for baked goods up to 10 inches wide.
#5 · Aufind
Aufind 12" 2 Pack Pie Carrier with Lid and Insulated Food Carrying Case Bag, Reusable Food Storage Containers for Pies, Cheesecake, Pizza, Nuts Fruit Perfect Gifts
Choose this set when you want two pie carriers plus an insulated carrying bag for potlucks or picnics. The carriers are sized for pastries such as pies and cheesecakes, though they’re the shallowest option here by their stated carrier height.
Do you need a handle and locking lid for the drive?
Then take the JOEY’Z. Its two side latches and built-in handle give you a clear way to close and carry the dessert; check both clips before lifting, especially with a heavy pie dish inside. For any carrier, keep a hand under the base when carrying a heavy glass or ceramic dish rather than trusting the handle alone.
Is a tall meringue or deep-dish pie the deciding factor?
JOEY’Z gives the most useful stated clearance here: desserts up to 4 inches tall. That still doesn’t guarantee room for a tall topping or a dish with a wide, fluted rim, so measure the pie and dish at their widest and tallest points and compare them with the carrier’s usable interior. If the topping is delicate, cool and set it fully before closing the lid, and avoid tilting the carrier in the car.
Would you rather have a sealed keeper or a carrier built around carrying?
Choose the Tupperware for its virtually airtight, liquid-tight seal and familiar pie-and-cupcake use; its data doesn’t give it a carry handle, so carry it level with support underneath. Choose JOEY’Z when the handle and locking clips are more important than matching the classic Tupperware keeper. Southern Homewares is the flexible alternative if you want three container configurations for different foods.
How much carrier space do you want to store between gatherings?
If cabinet space is tight, favor one carrier rather than a set: JOEY’Z or the Tupperware keeps the choice simple. Evelots gives you four separate carriers, which is handy for frequent baking but takes more room than keeping one pie taker. Aufind bundles two carriers with an insulated bag, so it makes sense when that extra carrying gear will actually get used.

Questions buyers ask
Will a standard pie carrier fit a deep-dish or fluted ceramic pie dish?
Don’t assume so from the pie’s diameter alone: the rim and dish shape can make a carrier too narrow even when the pie itself is under 10 inches. Measure across the widest part of the dish, including its rim, and check the carrier’s usable interior before choosing.
How do I transport lemon meringue pie without smashing the topping?
Choose a carrier with enough interior height for the topping, let the pie cool and set before closing it, and keep the carrier level in the car. Of these picks, JOEY’Z states a fit up to 4 inches tall, but measure your finished pie rather than relying on the carrier’s outside dimensions.
Which option is best for tall meringue?
JOEY’Z is the clearest choice when your topping is no more than 4 inches tall. For a higher meringue, compare the finished pie’s height with the carrier’s usable interior clearance before choosing; don’t treat a carrier’s overall height as its interior clearance.
How can I reduce the chance of a carrier opening while I carry it?
Use a carrier with a positive closure, check every clip or seal before lifting, and carry it level. With a heavy glass or ceramic dish, support the base as well as using the handle; JOEY’Z specifically has two side latches and advises securing them before lifting by its handle.
Is the Tupperware pie taker airtight?
Yes—its seal is described as virtually airtight and liquid-tight.
Can I use these carriers for more than pie?
Yes. Tupperware accommodates a dozen cupcakes or other baked goods, and the other options also suit desserts such as cakes, cupcakes or cheesecakes. JOEY’Z adds a divided serving tray when you flip its base.
How tall is a standard pie carrier dome?
There isn’t one standard dome height across pie carriers; designs vary. Compare the usable inside clearance with your finished pie’s height and leave room above delicate toppings. An outside measurement alone won’t tell you whether the dome clears it.
