Best Meat Pies
in Auckland

The meat pie is the quintessential Kiwi on-the-go meal and a staple of Auckland bakeries. The quality of a pie is judged by the structural integrity of its pastry and the richness of its gravy. The Mince and Cheese is the national standard, but Steak and Cheese is a close second in popularity. For a true local experience, look for a pie with a potato top instead of a pastry lid. The trap is a "gas station pie" which ubiquitously lacks the hand-crafted pastry and chunky meat of a proper independent bakery.
