Yes, pumpkin pie should be refrigerated after it cools completely to room temperature.

Cooling Process

Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for up to two hours at room temperature before refrigerating, as per FDA guidelines, to avoid condensation that could make the crust soggy. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap or foil once cool, then store in an airtight container to prevent flavor absorption.

Storage Duration

Refrigerated pumpkin pie lasts three to four days safely due to its egg and dairy content, which promotes bacterial growth if left out longer. For longer storage, freeze it tightly wrapped for up to a month, then thaw in the fridge.
