Answer 3

I think the best pie shop is "The Meadows Bakery" in the Adelaide

Hills . The pastry on their pies and pasties is just to die for, they

don't slop everywhere when you take a bite ,yet lovingly flakey!

There is a HUGE range of different flavoured pies,  & cakes are abundant and you can either eat in the bakery cafe or sit on the

country verandah, even buy some local crafts whilst visiting!

SO STOP AT THE MEADOWS BAKERY - MEADOWS S.A

Answer 4

There is a bakery south of Mandurah in Western Australia I cant remember the name of the bakery but it is in Miami just stop anyone around the area and ask "where is the famous bakery that makes a huge selection of multi award winning pies. Sorry I don't know the name but any chance I am going south I go out of my way to travel that way and stop of for one of there Delicious pies (Every flavour you can think of and many you would never think of.

Answer 14

Hi Ernie,

Let me inform you of a little beaut pie shop attached to the side of the local Tavern in a very small town called Kirup. Kirup Is just roughly 2 hours southwest of Perth and is on the South West Highway (KIRUP DELI -South Western Highway, Kirup WA 6251

Phone: [phone]) I have never been to Kirup for any other reason than to stop off for a pie on roadtrips down south, it has become like a ritual.. and seem's so for a lot of people coming from perth going down south.. (this little pie shop gets especially busy during motox season) They have very interesting home made pies ranging from your usual Beef or Chicken Casserol Pies to your more unique Lasagne or Mexican Nacho Pies..

This place is well worth the stop I usually buy a whole tray to take with me and freeze at home because they are sooo good.. and  if you are stopping for a pie it is also well worth a wander into the tavern and picking up a local brew called "Kirup Syrup" from the pub too.. But then again as I'm sure you know all local produce in W.A.'s Southwest taste's exceptionally great!

Answer 15

Good question, i may just be curious enough to try some of these when we're travelling.

Answer 19

Answer 20

i would have to say the one in benliegh queensland yatla pies

Answer 21

yatala pies by far

ive been around aust a few times and never had better

Answer 22

Kempsey pies, the shop used to be under the bridge heading north into town.

Answer 23

I think that pies are a national dish to the extent of making them so widely made it would be impossible to pick  "best" pie shop. I think we have to be specific on the parameters of the competition also. The majority of Aussies eat a normal pie not these gourmet pies with all the fancy ingredients in them and 3 times the price. So to compare apple with apples, so to speak, the parameter of what an Aussie pie is must be made first.

If we are talking about your run of the mill pie with meat gravy and sauce, I don't think you would be abale to pick the best of because they are made by so many people and in so many ways, the winner would merely be a matter of taste and not so much one of quality. I think that the quality of most pies you would buy in Australia would be fairly even across the board.

I think the producers may have bitten off more than they can chew here, sorry. (no pun intended)

Answer 24

Yatala Qld.

Answer 30

Hey Ernie!!

I swear the best pie i ever had was from Dreamworld, on the Gold Coast!! I am not kidding. It was pretty big for a single serve pie, I was full all afternoon!! The pastry was perfect, not too flaky and not too soft, the filling was nice and chunky and the steak was moist and tender. At $4, it was very well priced as well, considering the quality and the typical trend of theme park prices being sky-high. The tomato sauce was good too!

You could do a whole segment on dreamworld, it's just opened up some new attractions, and make a point of the pies. They're in the Gold Rush part of the park.

You're a legend mate, a true blue Aussie, and a funny bugger!!

Answer 31

Villi's pies in Adelaide. Not only do they taste great, but Villi himself conducts tours of his bakery, just behind the shop. How many other pie shops would do that? It makes eating his pies and pasties more enjoyable, not less, when you see the ingredients. You can't say that about many pies.
