Definitely try this place out! These pies are creative, amazing and very ,very tasty! Plus, they are hot and ready to eat with excellent pastry. This has to be a Tradie āsmokoā favourite. š Also customer service was excellent, I was happily greeted, served and out within 3 minutes. Excellent Pies, truly well done. So lets break it down
As it was my first time, it was hard to choose as the range is so large it is almost overwhelming. š So I ordered the Original (traditional) gravy mince beef pie and the chicken parma pie. (Refer to Photos)
Price: Pies start from $5.50 and go up from there. Very reasonable for the food.
Food: You have to give credit to amazing well-cooked pastry ā sometimes that light crackle of thin flaked pastry really tops off every good pie. The Original Beef Mince pie: no more or less the traditional meat pie ā the beef and gravy were great as it didnāt taste like they added a lot of salt or sugar to pick up the flavour ā it was naturally savoury within itās own right which was excellent. The Chicken Parma: Was blown away! So Good! They donāt skip on ingredients, the chicken pieces alone are worth it! But there is every flavour you would expect from traditional pub parma but in this pie. Highly recommend you take the challenge and tell me Iām wrong.
Range: There would have to be 30 types, I didnāt really count as I was in and out so quickly!
Customer Service: Service with a smile is always appreciated, thank you for that! Apart from the service person having to deal with my gobsmacked shock at the variety I was presented with; they had a secondary board to show you what was available ā which was very helpful. Had my pies and paid within a few minutes. Outstanding.
Would highly recommend this shop to everyone ā I will be back ā if only to try that beef stroganoff pie, which was sadly unavailable...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis guy does hands down the best pies in Melbourne! We have been frequenting his store for about ten years and he never disappoints. We grab a family for for dinner and have with salad. Chicken Kiev would have to be our favourite, the chicken is so tender and moist. We also love lamb and rosemary, beef stroganoff and chicken Parma. The little cakes are nice too, though I donāt think he makes them in store. Normally I donāt even like pies but his are fantastic. I think itās the pastry. Then only thing is it seems like they change their closing time a bit throughout the year. Maybe depends on the season. Because they donāt have a website to list hours we never know if they will be open when we finish work so we only go there on weekends. Would also be good if they had a website so we could see a list of their pies as they do heaps and add new flavours all time time but not always in family size. However Will, the owner, is always good about making you a non-standard one of you give him a day or so notice. He did a steak and kidney one for us last year when we had a Harry Potter themed dinner (lol) and thatās not even on the menu! They do have brochures instore with their pies but I donāt think they are up to date with the newest ones. So would be good if you could see the up to date...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis establishment is not to be judged on the service which frankly is fine, or the decor which it's a bakery so again it's perfectly fine.
However, if you want one of the best tasting pies you've tasted in your life, I highly recommend Pie and Mighty.
The chicken and white wine and JD BBQ Pork are my personal favourites.
The chicken and white wine is a cream and white wine base with chicken pieces throughout with melted cheese just under the lid of the pie, simple yet so satisfying.
Now the JD bbq pork is on the sweeter side as its base is bbq sauce and has pieces of pork and pineapple throughout so might not be for everyone but if you like sweetness in your savoury food, you're going to love it.
The beef mince and steak pies are amazing and especially if buying in the morning it's hard to not eat them then and there or in the car.
I've had to stop myself from eating them as my waistline wasn't dealing too well as I'd always order 2 at a time and occasionally a party size mince as well.
Can't...
