Heaps Is located down the street from the DeKalb Farmers market and across the street from the Avondale MARTA station. This little hidden gem sells pot pies as we know it but on a whole another level. They have so many varieties of pies to choose from for the vegans to the meat eaters. I usually patronize this place on the weekends for their fish and chips. The service is always excellent. The inside has bench style seating so you may have to share a table with some unknowns which is okay. There is also outside seating. Let's get into these fish and chips though.. On Friday, Saturday and Sundays, they have fish and chips and the fish is Haddock and it is so good! The fish is battered and deep fried and served with fresh french fries and special dipping sauce and a small side of slaw.

On 10/23/26, I had the pleasure of enjoying my first New Zealand meat pie thanks to my lovely coworker/friend picking up from here for our work lunch. I chose the "nz mince & cheese" and was extremely happy with my choice! It was hot and flavorful, and a good size as well! I'm pregnant and ate the entire pie. I can't speak on service or ambiance but I'd love to come in soon to try more!

The ambiance here is super cute and cozy. The employees were extremely hospitable and friendly. The icing on the cake was the 90s r&b playlist. Such a cozy, cute place! I ordered the chicken pot pie. It was super fresh, as it was just out of the oven. It was delicious! Great flavor filling with a crispy, flaky crust. It had a decent amount of meat and veggies throughout, but I do think the pies are a lil pricey for what you get. I'd still come back to splurge and try more pies.

Heap Pies is a New Zealand inspired treasure serving savory meat and veggie pies, plus a rotating seasonal menu alongside a few classic staples that never leave the building. Everything is locally sourced and made from scratch, by hand, in house, which honestly explains why this place has people lining up like it's giving out free happiness. Important housekeeping, before you go their hours are limited and they're mainly open for lunch. Translation, don't "wing it." Plan your visit like you actually want to eat here. Also, the fish and chips only make an appearance Friday through Sunday, featuring either a whole 12oz or half 6oz haddock or cod filet. I found Heap Pies while hunting for lunch on a Friday around noon and immediately stopped scrolling when I saw the unicorn of Yelp ratings 5 stars. Rare, suspicious, required immediate investigation. The Decatur location is their main spot, right off E. Ponce de Leon Ave, drive slowly or you'll pass it and spend the next 10 minutes questioning your GPS. Parking is free and plentiful, which already put Heap Pies in my good graces. When I pulled up, folks were eating outside in 50 degree weather like it was patio season, and honestly, that level of commitment told me everything I needed to know. Inside, the space is quaint, casual, and cozy, with communal seating. The line was long but calm, no sighing, no eye rolling, just people patiently waiting for their turn at joy. It gave me plenty of time to stare at the menu and debate life choices. I came for fish and chips, but those pies were definitely whispering, "Next time." The young woman taking orders was friendly, warm, and genuinely hospitable. She took time with each customer, answered questions, and made the whole experience feel personal, rare these days and very appreciated. Now let's talk food. My 6oz haddock filet was massive, fresh, and perfectly flaky, clearly not playing around. The fries were seasoned just right and didn't even need sauce (but let's be honest, I used it anyway). The house remoulade paired beautifully with the fish and brought everything together. I was impressed across the board,from the service to the food quality. One thing to note, if you're in a hurry, this might not be your moment. The fish and chips are cooked to order, so patience is required, but trust me, rushing greatness is never a good idea. I'll absolutely be back, and next time I'm finally committing to one of those pies.

Wow wow wow, I didn't know pies could be so good! My impression of pies for the longest while was that they tend to be quite bland. I was blown away by how good and unique these pies were! I heard their fish and chips are amazing, and the table behind us even commented "these are the best fish and chips I've had outside of London", but for me I'm really not a fish person, so it was only pies for me. My boyfriend and I ordered their Thai Chicken Curry, and the rotating Special pie (Roast Beef Dinner). I really liked the Thai Chicken Curry one for the flavor - strong flavor, perfect amount of heat, and the consistent, flaky crust! We also had their Raspberry Lamington for dessert which was nice, but not quite my preference for dessert. It's a small restaurant and seating is a little limited. I will absolutely be returning when in Decatur - there's more pies that I'd like to try, and the owner couple is so nice! Even when they were short staffed and swamped, they still served with smiles

Oh man, I dream about how awesome their fish and chips are and it's totally worth going back for this alone. Location is small, with several places to sit communal style like in a beer garden. Sadly, many of the pies were out so If you're looking for the savory pies, try to come early in the week. I think my trip might have been on a Sunday. Service is counter service and they will bring out the food to you. The staff are super friendly and they came out to check on us. Definitely a place I would regular.

Found this spot when searching Yelp after newborn pictures and the 5.0 rating with over 40 reviews was enough for us to spot it. It took me two tries to win me over though my wife was a believer after the first time. Ordering is at the counter and they will have pies ready to go and pies you can take to go. The reheating instruction are easy. There is also a fish and chips special on Friday. Seating is long benches and there is a TV always playing rugby. My recommendation? Let the server help you decide. Clear winners for me have been the bacon, egg, and cheese pie plus the steak and ale. My wife and her cousin swear by the thai chicken green curry pie. They like it so much I've only been allowed a single bite. The fish and chips is pricey but worth it. Light batter and flaky cod. I recommend coming with someone and splitting a two piece and getting your own New Zealand pies. So Heaps Pies well deserves its reputation. Spot in for a casual lunch and experience a slice of New Zealand cuisine.

Heaps Pies? Heaps good mate! This little pie shop down the street from Downtown Decatur is a must try, especially if you've never had a meat pie before. As an Aussie, these pies are the real deal. New Zealand is bang on serious about their meat pies and these have been brought to you right from the source. These pies are on the fancier (and slightly expensive) end compared to the fast-food pies you'd get down under, but pack a serious punch and are made fresh to eat every day. The menu of pies rotates around depending on the day, and they do fish and chips on Fridays and the weekends which we'll definitely have to come back for. Beer and wine, both local and from New Zealand/Australia are also available for purchase with your meal. They also sell pies to take away and bake at home, if you want to save for later. Usually frozen pies bake out remarkably well and keep everything intact. The shop is small, with only a few long tables to sit on and a little lounge area. Staff are extraordinarily kind and helpful and service really went above and beyond for such a little, casual place. A TV in the corner has a constant loop of Kiwi sports on as well. Parking is plentiful in the lot outside and most of the people we saw were coming in and out quickly to pick up take away orders so it turns over pretty quick.

Service was welcoming and quick. This is a nice, cozy neighborhood spot. The fish and chips were incredible. Can't wait to return!

Finally made my way to Heaps and it did not disappoint. It is located in a small plaza next to Publix, plenty of parking in the lot. I visited on a perfect sunny day, the side of the restaurant completely opens up which was really cool. I was greeted by who I believe was the owner, and a case of delectable looking pies in front of me. I asked him which flavors were best, he said they were all pretty good. I decided on the beef & cheese and it was served with a homemade tomato chutney which the gentlemen said he'd been making since he was a kid. I love homemade recipes and was excited to try it with my pie. First glance of the pie - a beautiful golden brown flaky crust, it looked so fresh and yummy. First bite in and it was delicious! The beef was ground, great flavor and comforting. The tomato chutney have a nice subtle sweetness. I can't wait to come back to try more flavors! They also have a lunch special (I believe it's Wednesday- Friday) where you get a pie, a side & a drink for $17.

Thai, chicken pot pies, and fries are great. Liked curry sauce for fries. It was clean.The Thai chicken pie is a little spicy slightly.

I'm a big fan of meat pies and had been meaning to try this spot for a while. It's a little off the beaten path, not in Decatur proper or Avondale Estates proper but nestled between the two, which in my opinion is a plus as parking is free and ample. My wife and I have been three times as of writing this review. The pies are delicious and substantial. They change up their menu regularly but keep it updated on their website. I would suggest getting there earlier in the day if there's a specific pie you're craving, as they can get low near the end of the day. On the weekends, Fri-Sun, they do fish and chips and here's where they truly surprised me. The fish filets are huge and perfectly breaded and fried, but the fries are PHENOMENAL, maybe the best I've had in the greater Atlanta Metro, if not the US as a whole. Adding to the delicious food; the fantastic and enthusiastic customer service makes us feel welcome and leave you with the expectation that they expect you back. And we will be back. PS: when they have Lamingtons, GET THEM

This is a super cute little place. Very casual, great place for a quick lunch. They sell hot pies to eat there, but the pies can also be taken home and frozen to have later. We didn't try the fish and chips this time. The Thai green curry chicken pie was delicious, probably our favorite thing of the day, but the curry fries were also really tasty. The chili beef and cheese pie was also solid, just not as much of a standout as the curry. We'll be back to try more.
