Key takeaways
  • The Pumpkin & Crème Pie has 280 calories, per McDonald’s own product page.
  • That page is live, which is the strongest available confirmation the item is on the US menu.
  • McDonald’s publishes no price for it. Not a range, not a suggested price — a scan of the whole rendered page found no currency figure at all.
  • There is no official way to find a restaurant carrying it. The page says ‘at participating McDonald’s’ and offers no list, map or locator.
  • Third-party coverage has reported $2.39 for one and $3.99 for two at some restaurants. That is an observation at specific locations, not a national price.
  • At 280 calories it sits below every McFlurry and shake McDonald’s lists beside it, and above only the plain vanilla cone.
  • No end date is published, so how long it stays is not something anyone can tell you.

280 calories, and no price — because McDonald’s does not publish one.

The Pumpkin & Crème Pie is on McDonald’s US menu: its official product page is live, which is the firmest confirmation available. What that page will not tell you is what it costs or which restaurants have it.

What it is, and the calories

280 calories. It is a baked pie in a sugar-coated pastry crust, split down the middle — pumpkin filling on one side, crème on the other.

For context, using the four desserts McDonald’s lists next to it on the same page:

ItemCalories
Vanilla Cone200
Pumpkin & Crème Pie280
OREO McFlurry410
Chocolate Shake520
M&M’S McFlurry570

It is the second lightest thing on its own shelf — roughly half a McFlurry, and about double a plain cone. All five figures come from the same page, so they are at least being measured the same way.

On allergens: McDonald’s publishes ingredient information covering the nine major allergens identified by the US Food and Drug Administration, and warns that shared kitchen equipment makes cross-contact possible.

Why there is no national price

Because McDonald’s restaurants are mostly run by franchisees who set their own prices.

This is not a gap in the reporting. The official product page carries no currency figure anywhere on it — no price, no range, no “starting at”. That is normal for McDonald’s and it is the reason every price you see quoted for a menu item is really a price at one restaurant.

Two columns: what the official page confirms — calories, ingredients, allergens, that it is on the menu — against what it does not say: price, which restaurants have it, how long it lasts

The official page confirmsIt does not say
280 caloriesThe price — franchisees set their own
What is in itWhich restaurants have it — only “participating”
Allergen information for nine major allergensHow long it is around for — no end date given
That it is on the US menu — the page is live

What people are actually paying

Third-party coverage has reported $2.39 for one and $3.99 for two at some restaurants.

Treat that as one data point, not a rate card. It is an observation at specific locations, reported by someone other than McDonald’s, and the whole reason it varies is the franchise model described above. Your restaurant may charge more or less, and neither would be unusual.

One further wrinkle if you order for delivery: McDonald’s states that McDelivery prices may be higher than in-restaurant prices, with delivery and other fees on top, and that ordering that way requires opting in to its Rewards programme.

How to find one near you

There is no official answer, and this page is not going to invent one.

McDonald’s says “at participating McDonald’s” and stops there — no list, no map, no locator for this item. What that leaves you is unglamorous but reliable:

  • Check the McDonald’s app or site for your specific restaurant. Menus are per-location, so the item appearing there is the closest thing to confirmation you can get without asking.
  • Call the restaurant. For a seasonal item that arrives at different locations at different times, this remains the fastest way to avoid a wasted trip.
  • Do not rely on a national announcement meaning your restaurant has it. Third-party coverage described the pie returning during August 2026 and appearing at selected restaurants before wider availability — which is exactly the pattern that makes “it’s back” and “it’s at my McDonald’s” different statements.

What the official page does and doesn’t promise

It promises: 280 calories, a pumpkin-and-crème filled pie, allergen information, and its own existence on the menu.

It promises nothing about: what you will pay, where you can get it, or when it goes away.

That is a short list of certainties for a seasonal item, and it is worth knowing which half of what you read is which.

The bottom line

280 calories, on the US menu now, and priced by whoever owns your local restaurant.

Reported at $2.39 in some places — but that is one observation, and the official page has no price on it at all. Check your own restaurant in the app before you go.

How we verified this
The calorie count, the description, the allergen position and the participation wording all come from McDonald’s own US product page, read in a browser on 5 September 2026. The page being live is itself the confirmation that the item is on the menu. 🔴 The official page contains no price. That is not an inference from not finding one in the copy — the rendered page was scanned for any currency figure and there is none. McDonald’s prices are set by individual franchisees, so a national price does not exist to be published. 🔴 There is no official locator for this item. The page says “at participating McDonald’s” and provides no list, map or search. That is the honest answer to “where to find it”, and this page does not substitute a third-party tool for an official one. ⚠️ The observed prices are labelled as observed. $2.39 and $3.99 come from third-party coverage of specific restaurants, not from McDonald’s, and are presented as what somebody paid somewhere rather than as the price. ⚠️ The reported timing of the return is also third-party. McDonald’s own page gives no return date and no end date. ⚠️ The comparison desserts are from the same official page, which lists them as related products, so the calorie figures are on a consistent basis rather than gathered from separate sources. ⚠️ Nothing here is dietary advice. The calorie figure is reported as published.
