Sometimes when you leave a word out of a sentence, the sentence can still mean the same thing. But often, ignoring a word can change the meaning of what is being said and cause misunderstanding.
"Pumpkin pie" and "pumpkin pie spice" are two different things. One is a pie made from a squash, and the other is a familiar spice mixture of cinnamon, allspice and cloves that you put into the pie to give it its distinctive spiced flavor.
Which one does the label of your specialty food or drink say on it? If it includes the word "spice" or "spiced", do not expect it to have pumpkin in it, or to taste like pumpkin. It very well may taste of pumpkin if the chefs in the test kitchen for the product were feeling generous, but it's a very slim chance.
Ordinarily, it's just going to taste like spice.
