A bakery known for its pies is judged first on its pastry, which should be flaky and hold the filling without going soggy. Popular pies often sell out later in the day, so an earlier visit gives the best choice. Many bakeries in Auckland blend cooking styles, so fillings can vary a lot from one shop to another. When choosing one, a quick look at the cabinet and a question about the day's bake can tell you a good deal.
For a pie at lunch or a paua pie in Mount Wellington, it is a bakery worth a visit on Panorama Road.
