favourite pies?

Heavens Bakery in Taradale won the Best Pie comps for years, not sure about this year tho. Best pies I ever tasted were from a bakery in Petone called Yolandas. Was a few years ago now - are they still there?

The silverdale bakery does good pies, the chicken curry ones are particularly good.
The New Windsor bakery (in the shops near the Maioro st and Windsor rd intersection) does pretty good pies and other stuff too and are pretty cheap.

I was surprised how good the BP pies were when I tried one. Much better than Big Ben or Irvines etc. Bit more expensive though too.
Anyone know a good place near AUT to get pies? The student cafeteria there only has Irvines pies (which are ok, depending on how long they've been cooked and whether you're unlucky enough to find a lump of fatty chewy crap in them [the steak ones, anyway]).

I remember having one of those butter chicken pies at bp in silverdale last time I was there and it was awesome.

Gorgie Pie ... hmmmmm

Also, theres a member on here who is part owner of Tally's Pies on Ponsonby rd.

There's also a member who was managing the Porirua Georgie Pie when it opened.

Geeez, I forgot about Mum's B&E pies. My sister used to make duplicate 'Mum's B&E pies' for the boys to scoff at the racing or drags. They must have been good as I recall missing out most times.

YOU MUST BE MISTAKEN ITS BP "EXPRESS" PIES

Sorry about making angry, but if you ever get the time to try the pies I speak of (and I've tried plenty, inc BP and Nelsons) you will know why they are so much better. However I'm on night shift and all this talking about pies has got me down to BP for a couple of turdie pies...

The best pie is the one you can get your teeth into when you are hungry.

I am very surprised that no one has claimed a 'hair pie' to be their favourite.......

Haven't read the 3 or 4 pages of pie talk, but has anyone mentioned Trisha's Pies, in Wellington? Rather tasty pies and confectionary! (and I should know, was a baker there for 2 years)
*EDIT* NOT Island Bay Trisha's Pies, Kilbirnie and Kent Terrace. Island Bay branch is not affiliated with the actual Trisha's Pies name
