Well, if the truth is known (and now the truth is known, because I'm telling you!) I think all of those are tasty. But I said only one word will complete the message, so there must be a trick here.

The first option (PIE) might give you a clue...this message is all about PI (3.141592...)

Aha! The number of letters in each of the words: 3, 1, 4, 1, 5...

So the next word must have 9 letters, and MILKSHAKE is the correct answer!
