In Crust We Trust: The Best Pies in Sydney

1. Glenorie Bakery

A family bakery in every sense of the word and an icon of the Hills District, Glenorie Bakery is renowned for its signature meat pies—and for good reason.

Handmade locally using 100% NSW beef, then cooked to perfection in their signature gravy mix, it’s not hard to see why they’re so popular. Drool!

Location: 4/930 Old Northern Rd, Glenorie

2. Flour and Stone

This iconic Woolloomoolloo bakery is famous for serving the goods when it comes to cakes, pastries, tarts and baked goods.

While Flour and Stone are perhaps lesser-known for their pie offering, that doesn’t mean they’re anything shy of delicious. We’re talking sumptuous flavour combos like chicken, leek and tarragon; lamb, potato and rosemary; and a drool-worthy ratatouille and feta option.

Location: 43 Riley St, Woolloomooloo

3. Bourke Street Bakery

Bourke Street Bakery is one of Sydney’s best-known bakeries, serving the best pies in Sydney, naturally. The other good news is that with multiple locations peppered across the city, there’s bound to be one within sniffing distance!

Alongside the classics (beef, beef brisket, chicken and sweet potato and such), there are great options for vegans too, including a vegan vegetable curry pie and a vegan eggplant, chickpea and mint sausage roll.

4. Black Star Pastry

Another much-loved bakery with locations across Sydney (and beyond—we're looking at you, Melbourne and Shanghai!), Black Star Pastry is home to an expert team of pastry chefs who serve a mean meat gravy encased in buttery, flaky pastry shells. Rich, hearty, and brimming with flavour, they’re sure to hit the spot next time you’re craving a pie in Sydney!

5. The Upper Crust

A Northern Beaches favourite, The Upper Crust in Collaroy has been making some of the best pies in Sydney since 1948, and their menu is satisfyingly extensive. Steak pies, lamb pies, chicken pies, vegetable pies—you name it, they probably serve it.

Our picks would have to be the Mexican steak pie with salsa, red kidney beans, sour cream and cheese, or the chicken, avocado and brie pie, which showcases Tasmanian brie and fresh avocado. Delicious!

Location: 1003 Pittwater Rd, Collaroy

6. Threefold Pastry

Renowned for inventive and hearty pies in Sydney's west, Threefold Pastry offers creative flavours that result in some of the best pies in Sydney.

The chicken pie with chicken, peporonata, roasted tomatoes and marjoram is absolutely as good as it sounds, and the mixed vegetable pie proves itself to be an excellent pick for non-meat-eaters. In short, Threefold Pastry is well worth a visit!

Location: Parramatta Square, 404/12 Darcy St, Parramatta 

7. Funky Pies

A Bondi beauty, Funky Pies is one of the most popular pie shops in Sydney—and it’s entirely vegetarian.

Oh and if you’re after a great range of gluten-free pies, Funky Pies is the place to go.
