The Pie Man is a local bakery on Bledisloe Road in Maraenui, Napier, holding a 4.6 Google rating.
A neighbourhood bakery is often the heartbeat of a community shopping strip, especially when it comes to the morning tea run and lunchtime rush. The mark of a reliable pie warmer comes down to crisp, golden pastry that holds together without turning soggy, paired with a rich, well-seasoned filling. Regulars usually judge a bakery by how fresh the cabinet looks early in the day, from flaky sausage rolls to classic sweet slices. Getting in before the midday trade is always the best way to catch the hot warmers fully stocked and items fresh from the ovens.
