The best pies in Melbourne

Carn the pies! And the sausage rolls, pasties and quiches. Handball the tomato sauce and dig into these classic snacks from home.

Le Derrière

Want to put a French spin on your pie? Lucky South Yarra locals can drop in to Le Derrière to take home rich and hearty boeuf bourguignon pies. Plus a round of sesame seed–dotted Mr Jones’ sausage rolls. For a satisfying creamy winner, try their pies filled with chicken, mushroom and thyme.

Naughton's pub pie in a box

Pub magic is coming to your door. Naughtons Hotel have brought back the beloved pub in a box delivery just in time for finals. Feta loaded pasta and juicy jars of pickled beetroot come alongside your choice of lovingly crafted pie. There's chicken, dill cream and mustard pie for meat lovers, or a roasted pumpkin and goats cheese delight for the vegos.

Botanical Hotel

Can’t get to the Botanical? Their grocery delivers takeaway meals through Providoor, including substantial family-sized pies. Cheer on your team while sharing a lamb shepherd’s pie, topped with creamy whipped potatoes. Or the Milawa chicken, with leek and mushroom in a herb-enriched gravy.

Bread Club

Rustic and robust artisan pies are a speciality at Bread Club. If you live within 10km, get yourself down there to indulge in their takeaway pie selection. The massive mapo tofu is a taste sensation, wrapped in golden flaky pastry. Grab some relish to pile onto hefty poppy seed–dotted sausage rolls and spinach and ricotta parcels.

Pure Pie

Snack-sized or family-sized, sweet or savoury. Pure Pie in Docklands has the full range, and they’re all packed with flavour. Chipotle chilli beans add punch to feta and spinach pies, encased in a sour cream and butter pastry. Or try aromatic butter chicken in a lightly curried gravy. Order online for home delivery or kerbside pick-up.

M&G Caiafa

Add savoury quiches to the mix from Queen Vic Market’s M&G Caiafa. Vegetarian versions include spinach and feta, and mushroom with haloumi. Or stick with the original, quiche Lorraine, with bacon and spring onion. Order via their website to pick up from the stall if you’re within 10km of the market.

Udom House

If a Thai flavour bomb is what you fancy, get your footy pies from Udom House. Like the red curry chicken spiced with an authentic blend of cinnamon, star anise and pickled garlic. Keep an eye out for their larb pork pies, seasoned with coriander and mint. Pick them up if you’re within 10km of this West Melbourne coffee shop.

Daniel’s Donuts

Sure Daniel’s Donuts are known for their iced and cream-filled sweet treats. But did you know they also knock out some cracking puff pastry pies? Try the classics, like chunky steak ’n pepper or chicken with leek. Add veggie pies for your vegan friends, and a couple of ruffle-sealed Cornish pasties. Order them from Uber Eats.
