items The Meat Pie is New Zealand's most famous food and a must try on your trip here! We just call them pies in NZ, but I understand a "pie" to the rest of the world is filled with apple, or pumpkin or something! I have eaten pies all over the Country an...

Patricks Pies has a huge list of awards for their Pies in the annual NZ Pie Awards. In 2023 they won supreme gold with their Roast Duck, onion, and mushroom pie. My personal favourite is the mussel pie, and the mince and Cheese is a hit with local...
Patrick's Pies Gold Star Bakery - Tauranga Restaurants - Tripadvisor
This was my local when i worked in Te Rapa and what I consider the best pies in Hamilton. The Steak and Cheese here is my favourite, very flakey buttery pastry with sesame seeds, large chunks of steak, rich dark gravy with liquid cheese sauce. The...
NorthEnd FoodBar & Bakery
A popular pie shop known by the locals on the east side of Hamilton near the university. The mince and Cheese here is great, lots of gravy in the mince, and the pastry is always golden brown. I also rate the sausage rolls and the fried chicken is a...
Sunshine Bakery & Cafe
This is one of the most famous pie shops in the country and would be a contender for the top spot. No trip to the south island is complete without sending a photo to your mates of you tucking into one of these famous pies. My favourite is the Salm...
Fairlie Bakehouse
Another top 3 contender here, often claimed to be the best in the country. Call me plain but I like the good old mince and Cheese from here. The filling is rich, i didn't rate the pastry as much as some of my other favourite shops though. This is ...
World Famous Sheffield Pies - Sheffield store
A great spot on the main road to stop for a pie in Greymouth. They have a good range of pie flavors, my favorite thing from here is actually the garlic and cheese sausage roll! The pizzas are a hidden gem too, you can buy them by the slice and the c...
Do Duck In Bakery - Greymouth - Tripadvisor
A solid spot for a pie! I used to stop in here on the way home from night shift working in the Goldmine up the road. The wild game pies, venison and pork were my favourites from here. A nice change if you have eaten 34 beef pies from other shops on...
The Broadway Tearooms & Bakery
This award winning bakery is my go to in Taupo. Many weekends going to the race track started with an early morning visit to this shop for a pie. They have a huge range of flavors, the owner proudly displays their awards. This shop is the favourite...
Fast & Fresh Bakery Cafe
The most popular pie shop in queenstown! It gets super busy but it opens night and early so you can beat the crowds if you are staying in town. Very thick pastry, I have only tried the Steak and Cheese from here that was great, but I'm sure the rest...
Fergbaker
The Baker took out the bronze prize for Steak and Cheese in the 2024 NZ Pie Awards. It is the highest rated bakery in the area for good reason and by 7am there is usually a line out the door. The coffee is good, the customer service and experience is amazing, and the owner Shane is friendly and welcoming.
Hours are 6am to 2pm and they are closed Monday and Tuesday. Plenty of good flavors to try but you can't go past that famous Steak and Cheese!

The BAKER
An award winning shop with some unique flavors like spicy shrimp and mutton! I like this place opens super early at 5am and gives some good variety from the usual steak or mince and Cheese. A little bit easier parking than the other pie shop I have...
Paetiki Bakery Cafe- Spa Rd
This pie shop and bakery in Putaruru has great ratings and is commonly recommended by locals. My favourite here is the lamb and kumera pie. Nice and convenient to find just off state highway 1 over the railway tracks. Stop in on your trip down to ...
Bella Pane
Hotel motel quality inn! This pie shop is a hidden gem in Matamata, home of the Hobbits. The thing i like best about these pies is they use some kind of tasty real cheese instead of the usual cheese sauce in most other pies. Once again, I'm recomm...
Quality Inn Bakery
A great pie shop and bakery in the Waikato cow town! Stop in and buy a pie, walk down and eat it under the giant cow monument! This is a good stop over between Hamilton and Coromandel and the pick of the pie shops in Morrinsville.
Wagon Wheel Lunch Bar
Viands is the stand out bakery and pie shop in the area and a popular spot for tourists traveling between the waikato and taranaki. Just south of te awamutu, my favourite pie from here is the mince and Cheese.
VIANDS BAKERY, Kihikihi
This award winning pie shop is on state highway 27 between Auckland and Matamata and has made it into the top 10 pies in NZ. They are famous for their variety of different flavours like the Samoan palusami corned beef pie, cheese burger pie, and mor...
