Pie Face

This bustling city store quickly dispensed an orderly queue of CBD drones with service kept at a steady clip. It’s not the best pie in Sydney, but there seems to be a level of consistency between stores, and it’s a successful, expanding chain for a reason. There are eighteen stores in Sydney and their eyes are currently set on Melbourne. To warm your insides go for a Stack ($6.45) – a filling pile of pie, mash and mushy peas drizzled with gravy. While the mash, peas and gravy might not live up to Sydney’s most famous waterside pie-seller, their premium Steak Pie ($4.75) bests their base! You’ll never get back to work with the wrong filling either – the gimmicky piped pie faces designate exactly what’s inside. You’ll be happy to know all pies are baked daily, and the ‘Wake Me Up’ coffee’s not too bad either. I found their strongest offering, a ‘Kick My Arse!!!Flat White ($2.70), to be palatable and strong enough to power me back to the office. I’m a sucker for a pear tart, so the most memorable moment for me was found in a moist, crumbly Pear and Ricotta Pie ($2.85). Is it wrong to have a two pie day?
