A good pie shop is judged first on its pastry, which should be crisp and flaky outside and hold a rich filling without going soggy. Freshness matters, so pies bought earlier in the day usually taste best. When choosing one, a quick look at the cabinet and a question about what came out most recently can tell you a lot.
For a steak pie on a drive through Ngongotaha, it is a bakery worth a stop in Rotorua.
