I have never had a bad pie from The Pie Commission, and I have never a better pie anywhere else. I'm serious. I've had all manner of sweet and savoury pies from many, many places, but I will purposely go out of my way to get one of these pies. I will drive from Oakville during my lunch break just to get one and have to eat it while working when I get back. I will leave the downtown core while it's rush hour and have to sit through traffic just to taste that flaky buttery crust. And if I'm so fortunate to attend a meeting or conference that is being catered by them (which I have), you best believe that I will carry as many of them as I can home. You cannot go wrong with anything on their menu, and their frozen take home pies come out amazing. Seriously, if you've read this far, you've wasted precious time that can be had eating their pies. I'm salivating thinking of the next time I'll get to have one. read more

Love the flakey pie dough! So buttery. The perfect indulgent treat. The sweet dessert pies are amazing as well!

A little hard to find at first. It's tucked away one street south of Queensway, east of Islington. About 5 parking spots out front, and street parking - I dont really see this being an issue. People either come for a quick bite or get a bunch of goods to go anyways. If it's nice out, there are a few high tables, muskoka chairs, and picnic tables to enjoy it fresh. But otherwise, you gotta take it to go - not an eat-in establishment. I came here Saturday morning, opened the doors, and this heavenly buttery waft just hit me in my face. I knew I made the right decision by coming here right after sweating my ass off at hot yoga to negate my workout. haha. Since it was my first time, I ordered their classic braised beef pie. Drizzled some sriracha on that bad boy and wolf'd it down. It was light, flakey, crisp on the outside, and warm, hearty beef on the inside. Had to convince myself to leave and not order another pie to save it for another time. However, I did buy one of their peanut butter jelly dessert pies to go. It was dense. Massive peanut butter cookie top over some jelly filling. Pie crust and pb cookie was good....but the jelly filling was too sweet. I cut the pie up into 4 pieces and will slowly eat it over the next few days because it's just too sweet. BUT, that will not deter me from giving the other dessert pies a try. Overall, I see myself doing more hot yoga, thus, resulting in more pie consumption. LOL read more

Delicious meat pies! I find it hard to find them. I was so happy when I found this place.

I always wanted to visit this place, and must say very very yummy. I tried the chicken cheddar pie that was the only one left. But hey I loved it. I am going back and will recommend it. read more

After following these guys on twitter, chatting with them via tweets about what pie I needed to have first, and then discovering that their storefront location is so close to me. I was more than a little excited to take my stellar friend/boss from Denver here for lunch yesterday (my first time as well). It's a tiny hidden gem, on the back end of a Queensway plaza, so follow the advice of Stephanie S and turn off of Queensway onto Canmotor. By summer the staff told me that they'll have picnic benches set up outside but as of right now (and today's crazy snowy weather) there is a wrap around bench with about 4-6 spots. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, able to make strong reccos and ease my FOMO, advising me which pies I needed to have. The main recco was the braised beef, but when they mentioned they had a special Jerk Chicken pie, I jumped at the chance! The cashier warned me that she can never finish one because it's so spicy. I scoffed and thought typical big man thoughts like, I can handle spice, I've got hairs on my chest - muahh ha ha ha!!! That was stupid... so stupid. The pie was unreal! The crust was incredible, easily the best 5 inch savoury pie I've ever eaten. But HOLY. SMOKE (and I mean SMOKE), that ISH was FU%^in HAWT!!! I tried to keep my chest puffed out like proud Manimal while i attacked it, but Jesus, I got 3/4 through and my brow was soaked, my mouth on fire and a tiny tear rolled down my cheek (thank goodness my boss didn't see - eek). Hot it might have been but the chicken inside was tender and the filling delicious! I had the option of pairing my pie with fires or salad, I went with salad, freshly washed and still crisp it took the balsamic based dressing you add yourself perfectly. Have to echo the comments of so many others, their unique packaging is what I really loved the most. The sliding drawer style takeaway package is unique and totally rad! I can't wait to come back and buy a bunch of their frozen pies to make at home. I'll be back soon! Eatcrest Out! read more

The pies are good. I really enjoy the beef. I have used them at a birthday party and everyone enjoyed them. The meatless ones are also good. If you enjoy this type of food then I would give it a try. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to realized The Pie Commission was a purveyor of savory pies, kind of like pot pies but with a gourmet twist. Kris U took me here for an afternoon lunch and while we did sit inside and eat there we wouldn't have been able to do so if anyone else had been in the place because there were only about 3 stools at a counter. They do an awesome to-go business where you can even buy the pies in bulk and that definitely seems to be the focus. I chose the Chicken Cheddar Bacon Mash pie which had roasted garlic cheesy bacon mashed potatoes stuff inside a beautifully flaky pastry shell. It was quite filling and came in an adorable little brown box. I was also able to get a simple green salad on the side. It's easy to see why the place is so popular - the food is fast and delicious and with an interesting take on an old comfort food item. read more

*Beyond The Box Store: An Etobicoke Exclusive* I'm not too good to hit a chain for household necessities, nor am I above a strip mall crawl from time to time (get your nails done, party supplies and sushi in one stop? Glorious). However, I rarely think of this area as being good for much else. Yesterday, a buddy showed me the light. After a delicious lunch at Stoney's, I popped in here for some pies to go. Savoury pies appear to be the name of the game, but I went for two apple and sour cherry crumble pies. I didn't even heat mine up when I had mine for tea time later that day, and it was perfect. The delicious meat pie aroma of this place will live on in my dreams until I go back and try one. Better yet, I'll pop into their new Dundas W location because that's waaaayyy closer to me. Yessir, I've got eyes for pies. read more

Being a fan of meat pies, I made the trek all the way out to the Queensway for this spot. The decor certainly doesn't disappoint, with a very fun and modern design aesthetic. Cashier was also very helpful in answering my questions about all the pies. I got the Oka pie, with Oka cheese, chicken breast, and red peppers. The taste somewhat resembles a chicken pot pie, but is much better, with huge chunks of chicken and a cheesier taste. Crust was also exceptional. Compared to the Pie Guyz in Brampton, I would say the crust and price is about the same, and as for fillings it's up to personal taste. If you want a more South Asian and South African feel go for Pie Guyz, if you want more of an Anglo and Aussie feel, come here. I would personally go to both again. read more

After reading the reviews for a couple of years, I was in the area, on foot, and dropped in. i was the first customer at 11am. I tried the braised beef rib pie which was the most expensive on the menu (8.95+) so I thought it must be the best. I took it home and warmed it up for supper. The pastry was flaky and good. The inside had a few vegetables and sauce,and flavorful, but only a few shreds of beef. As I got into it, I kept hoping for chunks of beef, but no, only shreds. I was disappointed. I'll go back another time and try another type of pie read more

Never come across great meat pies like this anywhere. Irish pubs should outsource here.

This place is for hardcore pie lovers. It is a very focused set up. Very little to distract you from anything else except pie. Lets talk science here people. Pie is all about ratios. The most important is the crust to filling ratio. And by having hand sized pies, you are increasing the crust to filling ratio, compared to conventional sized pies. (Smaller circles have greater surface area to mass ratio than larger ones... Remember from high school science?) science is delicious! Speaking of crust... The sausage roll is nearly half crust! I ate 6 of them on my first visit... As an appetizer.... Before i ate 6 more.... I have a pie addiction. And butter. The damn thing is gloriously buttery. Thank you pie commision for providing the human race a way to stuff our faces with as much buttery crust in the most efficient way possible, and at a reasonable price. This is as close as I will be to my dream of having a restaurant that serves just beautiful buttery crust. read more

Etobicoke has very little in the way of redeeming qualities; after all it is the land that brought us Rob Ford. BUT in the back of a strip plaza off Queensway lies a little pie shop, making savoury pies so delicious that they are penance enough for all of Etobicoke's sins. For the love of all that is holy get yourself to this god-forsaken land to try these pies, it will be worth your while, I promise. Being in the area I decided to pop-in for lunch. The place is so hidden that I drove right by it, even with my GPS, so keep your eyes peeled for a small sign pointing you to the back of a plaza. The place is a hole in the wall with only three stools to sit and eat and some picnic tables outside. They serve a vast array of savoury pies, on this day I was feeling a little more conventional so I opted for the beer and beef pie with a side salad ($10 all in). Within one bite this became the best pie my lips have ever had the pleasure of tasting (savoury or otherwise). Crust so flaky and butter filled it will take years off your life, beef filling so flavourful, craft beer infused veal stock so rich without being too heavy, all in all the perfect lunch. Side salad was uninspired and probably came out of a box but with pies this good who cares? Despite the amazing buttery dough and meaty filling I did not feel gross or heavy afterwards, it was the perfect lunch portion. They sell pies fresh or frozen so if you want to pick up and take home some pies for another day that is an option. Their menu consists of an eclectic group of pies ranging from pulled pork, butter chicken, all the way south for a jerk chicken pie. They do have a couple of sweet options too but these guys are keeping things savoury for the most part. In short don't walk to Etobicoke, RUN! And don't forget to bring me a pie ;-) read more

The Pie Commission - Beer and beef pie - Fast Food Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The Pie Commission is an Etobicoke faithful. Tucked away behind side streets at the intersection of Islington and Queensway, it is worth the hunt! I have tried many of their pies. Some of my faves include the butter chicken, steak and cheese, and their chicken pie. The crust is buttery and flaky, and they are always hot out of the oven. On occasion, I will pick up a few frozen ones to bake at home. They are typically 7-9$ for each pie, however if you buy 4 unbaked, you end up getting them for about $7/pie and you can choose any one! I will try the dessert pies in the future! Note: Hardly any seating for dining in, the place is tiny! Take your pies and eat em' at home. They stayed warm during my trek to Mississauga. They recently opened a second location on Dundas St .W in the Trinity Bellwoods area. read more

I've been here a couple of times before they renovated so that patrons could actually get inside the building and order. It used to be just through a window on the wall where transactions occurred. And when the pies used to be two times the size they are now. This was 2-3 years ago. They weren't even discreet about reducing the size of their pies. It's not just a little smaller; it's a LOT smaller. See, if they made them cheaper that would've been justified. But it was still around the same price as before. I felt cheated to be honest. Not going back. read more

There are literally no words for this place, I tried it when it first opened and it was literally the best thing I've had in a while. There is nothing ordinary about their pies. As they say in their motto bloody good pies! Dessert pies, savoury pies, and even cookies! Bless their little hearts for this hidden gem of a place. read more

Fresh buttery and flaky pies with a wide variety of fillings both sweet and savoury. Hidden gem tucked away beneath a hair salon. Food is incredibly fresh (or can get frozen for later if you prefer!) generous sides of salad or fries and super yummy gravy. Definitely try the house made pork and rosemary sausage rolls and the butter chicken pie, two of my faves! Lots of sweet pies for dessert too! :) Staff is amazing and friendly and I look forward to going again soon! read more

This place is well hidden. It's off the queen sway near some residential and industrial buildings. I came here because I saw all the great yelp reviews and was looking for something different to try with my boyfriend before we caught a movie at the queensway Cineplex. I ordered the butter chicken pie with coleslaw and my boyfriend opted for the traditional beef pie with fries. We had water for drinks and the peanut butter chocolate pie for dessert. For all three pies and drinks it came to about $35. The good: The pie crust was flaky, not overlooked, and not too thick The butter chicken was nice and saucy and had a good kick to it. The flavour was interesting to try at first but it worked in the pie crust. The pie sort of reminded me of a very buttery naan. The beef pie was also to standard as it was not too dry and still had a lot of the juice retained from cooking and being kept warm Service was quick, but mediocre. Nothing to hate but nothing to love. The bad: There is no where to eat inside so if it's winter and you're here you're shit out of luck unless you want to freeze outside while warming your belly up with pie The coleslaw was too creamy for my liking and the cabbage was not shredded thinly enough so it made it awkward to eat. So go for the fries. There is also no parking. I think there was a totals of 3 spots. All of which are taken. And if you go in the winter, guess what? People are gonna park their bottoms and eat their pies in the comfort of their cars! So you have to park across the street at the industrial building or illegally on the side near a oddly placed residential neighbourhood. The purchase area is really small, so you might have to wait outside in the cold for you pie when it gets jammed with people. Our peanut butter pie was too sweet and didn't really suit the crust it was in. This filling I salute but not in combination with the crust. Overall, good homemade pie, bad location, no seats. And If you're adventurous try the different flavours! read more

The Pie Commission - Lamb pie with coleslaw - Fast Food Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Where do I start?! The Pie Commission offers ultra premium cuts of Canadian meat, fresh produce and homemade beef, chicken and vegetables stocks, all enveloped in a dangerously delicious all butter crust. What's great about The Pie Commission is that you can enjoy a personal pie on the go or take home a frozen one for dinner. It's a great option that I will definitely consider the next time I stop by. The prices are fair for the quality of the food. Around 10 bucks including the optional choice of sides (Fries, Salad, Coleslaw). They also have dessert! From what I remember, they had a S'mores pie, Coconut pie, Lime pie and some type of Streusel pie. It was tempting but I had to hold myself back this time. I would of loved to see more seating inside but unfortunately it's a tight space. They have a few Muskoka chairs laying around outside to make up for the lack of seating inside but that's about it. read more

Ive been here in the pouring rain, hot summer days and cold freezing days... all ends well with a nice hot pie. I've turned my whole family to the pies from here. My brother stocks up the frozen ones for his late night nibbles. The braised beef is flavorful and the beef is tender. The butter chicken is one of his favorite. The chicken cheddar bacon mash is delicious and has chucks of bacon in it. I've had their steak and cheese plus a bunch of their dessert pies. The insides are all good but lets get down to the main attraction: the crust. Flakey, light, buttery, and doesn't get soggy. The frozen ones you bake at home comes out just as flakey and delicious. Their smores dessert pie is great, I just ask them to pop it in the oven quickly and the marshmallows are melting on top :) They have another location in toronto's west end. read more

After Pie Commission's first year anniversary, I finally stopped by to pick up a beer and beef pie for lunch. What more can I say except the positive reviews speak for themselves. I know it seems a tad expensive for an individual pie but, trust me, it is so worth it. Years ago, when I worked in the Financial District, Acqua would occasionally offer a short rib pie and I always remember that being the best pie I ever ate until Pie Commission came along. The crust is flaky but not messy flaky. It's very flavorsome but doesn't have a rich lard or buttery type texture or taste - it's really something you have to experience yourself. I could really taste the flavor of the beer coming from the pie as well. One pie is very filling as they don't scrimp on the meat. Quality is second-to-none - wouldn't be surprised to see another location pop up. Just to note if you're not familiar with the area, there is NOT a lot of parking but you can easily park on the street and be in and out. P.S. couldn't agree more with Christine C.'s review about all the good eats popping up now in Etobicoke. I'm so getting a Tahiti Treat next time! read more

Good pies, heavy, but kind of satisfying at the same time. The takeout pouch, which has a flap and made of cardboard is extremely well designed and made eating the pie on the go a dream. If you are looking for an adventure, get a pie here, put it in your murse, or purse, whatever you store your keys and stuff in, and trek to the theater across the street. Remember, keep a straight face and if someone can smell your pie, pretend it was your natural smell, or a fart. Beware, you will make the whole theater jealous because all they can eat is popcorn and candy and nachos. BONUS: having tried all the pies now, I'd say my favourite ones are the beef ribs, minced beef, and vegetarian. read more

I have not actually been to the physical location but my dad always buys pies from this place. He has described it as sort of a hole in the wall set up but I will go and see for myself. So the review is only for the food: Basically he buys four pies at a time. The types are unique and delicious. butter chicken pot pie! does that qualify as fusion? chicken/mash pie is great. the crust on the pies is flaky and savoury. I wish to try a fresh pie from them, so far we bake it at home (reheat?) Absolutely amazing. I like. Will visit soon. read more

I ordered the braised beef short rib pie with fries and a Tahiti treat combo. (Less than $12) Finally a really good meat pie. The crust was amazing...so flaky and buttery. The filling was delicious and they didn't skimp on the meat which was so tender. The takeout box creates a perfect package to slide out your pie and side. Such a busy place at lunch and seems like they sell out of flavours fast...so come early for lunch if possible. The fries are really good and not greasy...goes well with the pie. I washed it down with a Tahiti treat...I can't find that anywhere else! The owner was talking about his pies and he seems really passionate about his food. I will definitely come back and try the beef and beer, butter chicken and jerk chicken pie. I could really see these guys opening up multiple locations...I want to buy a franchise and get a piece of the pie:) read more

Lovely pies. Best pies I've had that rival hand held favourites from Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Warning, delicious pie juices will seep through the flimsy pie-holders they give you onto your pants. From the walk-up window I tried the warm-from-the oven beer and beef and the butter chicken ($7 each). Both excellent , though the butter chicken could have been spicier. Happy to see that they had HP sauce for the beef pie. Bought fries which were nice enough but got cold as I filled up on delicious pie. read more

$10 for a pie might seem like a lot, but wait until you eat one (let alone try to make one!). This is perfectly hot, flavourful, with a flakey crust. There is science and love in these pies that is not replicable for $10 in your own kitchen, let's face it! We ate the butter chicken, and a prime rib ones. It was like a warm hug on a cold day. Except it was summer, and we were just starving. read more

After my mouth scorching encounter with the beef rib pie a few weeks ago, We happened to be in Etobicoke on a rainy Saturday and right near the Pie Commission and I was ready to have another go at their delicious pies. I'm taking one star off for the fact that they have raised the price of the beef rib pie to a 50 cent premium. Come on, guys... you have a great thing going and I can't see how raising the price by 50 cents per pie is a kind thing at this point in the game. These guys are about to get BIG and make A LOT of money through franchising. I can see (and taste it). Frankly, I'm not sure I love the beef rib pie the best. Not only because it's hot steamy inside burned my lip making it look like I had a cold sore for a week, but the sweet potatoes are just mushy and add no texture. It says that there are mushrooms in the pie, but I found none last time. Anyway, back to this time: My boyfriend had the Beef and Ale Pie for the second time and it was spot on. This is hands down, my favourite pie so far, I had the Chicken Bacon Cheddar Mash, which I had avoided ordering previously as I thought it would be too carby with the pastry and the potatoes on the inside. I was happily surprised to find that the filling was a wonderful creamy mixture of all good things. The chicken was tender and delicious, enveloped by soft mashed potatoes, just a smoky hint of bacon and pockets of cheddar. This is what a chicken pie should be! This in now my second favourite pie! They really have the delicious buttery pastry cornered. I see a Queen St West location within the next year. One good thing about Etobicoke is that the hipsters haven't discovered this place yet. But it's coming.... read more

Best pies and now that they moved across the street, they have a place to sit down and enjoy your food. I have yet to try a savoury pie here that I didn't like and their fries are amazing. Never ever forget the gravy!! I always take a four pack of frozen pies home to stash in the freezer and they bake up beautifully. Their butter tart pies are fantastic. read more

Awesome meat pies. We've picked up hot and fresh a few times, and they are delicious. We also just recently bought some to take home (uncooked), and served them to family. They are just as delicious this way too. Beef and beer is a personal favourite, followed closely by the delicious and unique butter chicken. I find that the fries are done very nicely, but are almost too much. Funny little location, but it seems to work. They should start staying open late on Fridays & Saturdays - they can capitalize on the movie-going crowd! read more

Yum. Flaky, buttery, savoury. I really enjoyed our quick dinner here. There's 5 main flavours to choose from, seems like the Braised Beef is the most popular and was sold out by the time we got there at 6pm on Wednesday. The Veggie and the Chicken & Cheddar looked amazing. But we opted for one of the 5 other seasonal pies - Beef Brisket. Each was about $7-8. You can get with side dishes like fries, salad or coleslaw for an additional dollar. We shared a pie, got a full sized salad and side of fries and was enough for the 2 of us. The Beef Brisket was super yummy. I would go there again to try the other types. We also took home a TripleBerry pie for dessert. Very good too. There are 3 seats here, at a bar area, and only fits really 2 people. I would recommend taking it to go (comes in an efficiently packed box), or on a nice day probably can eat in front of the store. I'll be back. read more

I've been here many times trying each and every pie and I must say that none of the pies disappoint. My personal favourite has got to be the braised beef rib. It's like eating a beef stew in a pie. The thing that sets these pies above from the competition is that crust! It's all so buttery and flaky goodness and it holds very well. You got to check out this place if you're ever in the queensway/islington area. read more

Tried the braised beef, beer and beef, and butter chicken pies. The braised beef was my favourite. Not sure I would order the beer 'n beef, but that's only bc the braised tastes heartier and I'm not as big a fan as the ground beef arrangement. Butter chicken is also another one I'd keep ordering again. Will look forward to more visits ... so happy that we're finding more and more good eats in Etobicoke!! On a side note, it's great for kids because across the street is this park that kids can always play at! Oh yeah, we also ordered fries ... amazing too!! What a great combo. Last but not least, for anyone looking for Tahiti Treat soda, they sell them there too. Brought great childhood memories :-) read more

I am Australian so have some idea when it comes to pies. They definitely get the pastry right, not too flakey not too heavy, kudos. My big issue with this place is the menu, too many weird pies and missing staples. Just want a regular meat pie or a steak and kidney but instead they have butter chicken or seafood or some other concoction. Also, where's the sweet BBQ sauce, all they have is north American Smokey BBQ sauce which just does not work. Would give my left teste for fountain BBQ sauce. Worth a try but a little too fancy pants rather than just good pies. read more

Yep... The others were all fantastic too... Chicken... And I can't remember the other names! Highly recommend!

For pie noobs like me, don't be fooled by the diminutive size of this pie. You will start feeling your stomach shrink with each delectable bite. The beef rib and smokey beef pies were baked to perfection. I join the chorus of majority of reviews on this place, the filling is Scottie Pippen to the crust's Michael Jordan. In other words, the combination will take you to the culinary Promised Land. :) read more

Delicious pies of all types. They're great to have in reserve for this days you don't want to cook.

Nice small little place a little off the beat and path (just off The Queensway) in Etobicoke. Fantastic variety of meat (and veg) Pies made fresh daily. Only negative is there is no inside seating but there is some outside seating which is great for warmer times of the year. read more

It was ok. My bf who loves meat pies thought it was great. He would go back. The french fries are good. The pies are small but then again, you do pay for the "made from scratch" and baked fresh daily. The packaging was really nice. The place is small, there were only 3 bar stools. This place is more of a pick up and take out type of place. There are some seats outside. It was quite busy when we went at 1:30pm. There were about 5 other people in the line up ahead of us. We were lucky to get a table and while we were eating there, there was always a line up. One customer mentioned that he goes there every single saturday. read more

So much flaky, buttery goodness. I wish they had more vegetarian options, but the Vegilicious pie was pretty damn fantastic. Goat cheese inside a warm, flaky crust? You can't go wrong. They're a bit hard to find, but there is signage everywhere to help direct you. Can't wait for my next visit ;) read more
