We’d never label these pies the best in New Zealand – imagine the nationwide pandemonium! We can however, guarantee they taste fingerlicking good. Now, pass the tomato sauce. ABOVE: Meat pie © Jelleke Vanooteghems

A PIE A DAY keeps hunger at bay MONDAY: Trisha’s Pies, Wellington
TUESDAY: Miles Better Pies, Te Anau
Want to know what Trisha is best known for? Her generous fillings. It’s all chunk and hearty gravy – just how a pie should be. She’s also not opposed to reinventing the wheel, with flavours such as ‘lasagna pie’ gracing the menu.
It’s tough finding a pie with the right balance of flaky pastry and sauce, but not so at Miles Better Pies. With a consistently perfect pastry to filling ratio, and a menu that features all the classics: lamb and mint, venison, egg and bacon, this pie place lives up to its cocksure name.
Tripadvisor says: ‘I lived in Welly for 4 years and renovated my house on Trisha’s Pies.’
Tripadvisor says: ‘Better pies than your mum’s.’
