The Good Food guide rounds up ten of Melbourne's best bakery pies (pub pies excluded), spanning old-school classics to inventive modern fillings. Highlights include Pieman's Son in Heidelberg Heights, where Pat Cremean carries on his father's Boscastle Pastries legacy with a standout chunky beef and mushroom pie; Falco in Collingwood, known for its sandwiches but also its Big Mac-inspired Rockwell pie; Pie Thief in Footscray, with its creamy Thai red chicken curry and party-pie tasting paddles; Tokyo Lamington in Carlton, offering pan-Asian creations like a wasabi-spiked cauliflower cheese pie; Bread Club's internationally flavoured options such as beef bourguignon and mushroom stroganoff; the vegan pies at Shannon Martinez's Smith and Deli; Drom in Bayswater, prized for its rustic, often sold-out savoury pies; Raymond Capaldi's Wonder Pies, whose multi-layered lasagne pie uses vegetable lard for sturdier pastry; Baker D Chirico's premium $14 beef ragu pie; and A1 Bakery, whose half-moon halloumi cheese pie is hailed as one of the great Melbourne snacks.
