The Pie Shop Is Brunswick East's New Pastry Haven
Stick this new venture from Pope Joan's Matt Wilkinson and Movida's Steve Rogers in your piehole.
Ah, the humble pie. It's the quintessential Aussie dish that's stuck by you through footy games, birthday parties and family dinners. And now, it's getting top billing at a brand new venture from chefs Matt Wilkinson (Pope Joan) and Steve Rogers (ex-Movida, Circa), as they open the doors to The Pie Shop today.
Taking over the Brunswick East space next door to Pope Joan and most recently home to Wilkinson's Hams & Bacon produce store, The Pie Shop is a veritable pastry wonderland. Located on Nicholson Street, they're offering covering the sweet, the savoury, and plenty of milkbar-style extras like dim sims and hot chips.
The pie lineup sounds almost as Aussie as The Castle's cast list, featuring produce-driven creations like The Shazza, with its filling of cauliflower cheese and caramelised onion, a chunky beef and veg number named The Allen, and The Bruce, which encases spag bol in pastry.
Little tykes are sure to delight in their own miniature Bruce pie, while sweet tooths will go nuts for the two seasonal sweet pies, available by the slice. Right now, there's a strawberry balsamic beauty, and another teaming Alphington Rooftop Honey with buttermilk.
You can even grab a family-sized version of The Shazza or The Allen to take home for later. You can nab a sweet one too — they'll just need 24 hours notice.
You'll find The Pie Shop at 75 Nicholson Street, Brunswick East, from 11am-3pm, Monday through Saturday. For more info, visit thepieshop.com.au.
