Nothing satisfies quite like a pie. Whether it’s a chilly winter day and you’re craving a warm apple pie or a hot summer afternoon with a meat pie in Australia smothered in tomato sauce, pies are the ultimate comfort food. Loved by Aussies everywhere, pies are more than just a meal—they’re a tradition.
Let’s dive into the most popular pies that have won the hearts (and taste buds) of pie lovers across the country.
Beef Mince Pie

Nodding to the traditional English dinner of meat and potatoes (think: Shepherd’s Pie, Steak and Mash, roast with mashed potatoes) we’ve taken this English dinner favourite and given it an Aussie spin.
With a sprinkle of cheese and parsley on top, the potato beef pie is wholesome, mouth-watering and incredibly appetising.
Vegetarian Pie
Vegetarian pies have come a long way, and if you’ve been skipping them, you’re missing out. Our Waltzing Matilda vegetarian pie is a crowd favourite, packed with fresh garden vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, carrots, corn, and peas, all cooked in a creamy cheese sauce.
