Sweet Words From Pie Fans
Pioneer Pie is hands down the best pie shop around. I go there a few times a week, and it never disappoints. If you’re visiting, make sure to try their chicken camembert and cranberry pie or the organic chicken, mushroom, and tarragon pie—both are absolutely delicious. Their butter chicken pie is easily one of the best I’ve had, and they offer a great range of vegetarian and vegan options as well.
The coffee isn’t the best in town, but for $3 coffee on Tuesdays? Hell yeah! Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area.
Awesome pies! Highly recommended. One of the best in the country. I am very fussy with pies and these are delicious. Large selection of options. Great tasting vegetarian pie options also. Friendly and fast service. I am not from Auckland but will be coming here whenever I am passing by

The owner explained the situation regarding the bad experience I had in the afternoon. We went back last weekend, and it was a much more pleasant and welcoming experience. The pies were delicious, and they seemed to taste even better because of the friendly staff who served us.

I went there yesterday (Saturday, around 3:15 PM). We recently moved to the area and wanted to try them out after seeing some good reviews online, thinking we might go there regularly. While I was looking at the display cabinet and deciding what to order, it took me more than five seconds, and the person serving me told me to hurry up because they were close to closing time. I apologised and asked what time they closed, and they said 4 PM.
The staff member had no patience whatsoever! His manner was very business-like and rushed, almost as if he was trying to get us out the door—for no clear reason. When we asked for the receipt, he pretended not to understand and simply said the transaction was successful. It felt like he didn’t want to bother changing the receipt roll.
I won’t be going back there because the service was terrible!
Since leaving New Zealand, Pioneer Pies is my go to treat to send to friends . Carla, who works with deliveries, is always kind, responsive and professional and the pies receive great reviews. It's a real comfort to know that I can rely on them when I can't be there myself to support friends who need a meal cooked with love.
