Te Kai Pie Bakery & Cafe is a bakery at 2/317 Pages Road in Wainoni, Christchurch, with a Google rating of 4.7 from 149 reviews. Reviewers mention the pies, especially the corned beef ones, along with the sausage rolls, mini quiches and soft pastry.
A good pie shop is judged on its pastry and its fillings. Pastry should be short and tender rather than tough, and fillings should be well seasoned and hot all the way through. Many regulars try several fillings over repeat visits, so a good range matters. When you choose a bakery, notice whether the savoury bakes are made fresh and whether the staff can tell you what is in each one.
For a pie or a sausage roll on the east side of Christchurch, this Pages Road bakery is a good place to start.
