About Raymons Pies

Raymons Pies is an established artisan bakery in Judea, Tauranga, handcrafting pies, savouries, quiches, cakes, and slices since 1988. Operating both as a dedicated wholesale bakery supplying dairies, supermarkets, cafes, and lunch bars across the Bay of Plenty, and as a welcoming shopfront for local visitors, the kitchen is driven by scratch-baking principles using locally sourced ingredients.

Every pie and pastry is prepared fresh on-site and never frozen, ensuring flaky crusts, rich traditional fillings, and distinct flavours ranging from classic mince and steak to Thai green curry and chilli cheese. Alongside their hot savouries, Raymons Pies supplies party food boxes and morning tea catering for local workplaces and family celebrations, with convenient counter pickup and local delivery options.

Raymons Pies: Tauranga's Trusted Handmade Bakery and Party Food Specialists

Operating from Cypress Street in Judea since 1988, Raymons Pies has built an enduring reputation across Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty for authentic, handmade bakery classics. While widely known as the wholesale powerhouse behind the pies, rolls, and slices stocked in regional lunch bars, dairies, and service stations, the bakery also maintains a bustling shopfront at the front of their premises where customers can pick up freshly baked morning tea shouts and lunch treats.

At the core of Raymons Pies is an unwavering commitment to traditional scratch baking. Every savoury item, pie, quiche, and sweet slice is prepared and baked fresh on-site using locally sourced ingredients. Unlike mass-manufactured options, nothing in their production line is ever frozen beforehand, yielding light, flaky pastry cases, rich gravies, and generously seasoned meat and vegetarian fillings.

Scratch-Made Pies and Savoury Classics

The pie oven turns out an impressive lineup of both Kiwi classics and creative flavour profiles. Traditionalists gravitate toward the mince, mince and cheese, potato top, and hearty steak and mushroom. For those after bolder spices, the bakery crafts a spirited chilli mince and cheese, a warming butter chicken, and an aromatic Thai green curry chicken pie.

Beyond full-sized lunch pies, the bakery is famous for its party-ready savouries. Their bite-sized savouries come in mince, mince and cheese, chicken, bacon and egg, potato top, and a vegetarian cheese and onion variety. Another perennial favourite is their signature egg cup—a pastry basket lined with savoury bacon, topped with a freshly cracked whole egg, and finished with a dusting of melted cheese before baking.

Catering Platters and Heritage Sweet Slices

Raymons Pies is a staple partner for office morning teas, corporate gatherings, and milestone birthday parties across Tauranga. Rather than full table service, the bakery packs their freshly baked treats hot into sturdy bakery boxes, making them effortless to transport, plate, and serve on arrival. Party hosts can order cocktail or regular sausage rolls alongside mini ham or vegetarian quiches for simple finger food catering.

No bakery order is complete without a box of classic New Zealand slices. The sweet cabinet features nostalgic favourites crafted from time-honoured recipes, including rich custard squares, chocolate caramel slice, ginger crunch, Louise slice, and apple and apricot shortcake. Raspberry cream donuts and chocolate lamingtons round out the bakery's traditional sweet selection.

Whether dropping by the Judea counter for a piping-hot lunch pie or organising a next-day catering order for the office, Raymons Pies delivers consistent craftsmanship backed by decades of Bay of Plenty baking experience.
