I visited this establishment on a food tour a few weeks ago and wish I'd had more time to try other things or visit again. Especially since another venue had served me some of the worst meat pies I'd ever had before... That said, The Pie Tin was a charming spot, inside and out. My tour group ended up at a large table with a ton of chairs digging into our meat pies. I shared a beef one with another person on my tour and let me tell you... The beef meat pies prepared by The Pie Tin are AMAZING! The crust was flaky and seemed buttery, and the beef innards were tender and well seasoned. I inhaled it so quickly I didn't take a pic. The Pie Tin restored my interest in beef pies! Definitely check them out. Get a sweet pie while you're there too, I bet those are awesome also! read more

Great spot to come to for pies, both sweet and savory. The crusts are well crafted, either flaky or crunchy, and the pies are baked fresh daily. The steak diane seemed to be a fast seller, and was a great choice with the scalloped potatoes, tender meat and crunchy crust. The bbq brisket was also very tender with a flaky crust and had natural sweetness from the carrots. The staff were quick and cordial, and the place had a homey feel with wooden seating. Great place to grab a tasty pie! read more

On Christmas Eve we picked up three full-sized sweet pies and 5 mini savory pies. The savory pies for lunch on that day were 2 pulled pork, 1 chicken with truffle, 1 mince pie, and Mac and cheese to share. I was not impressed with my chicken/truffle but everyone enjoyed their pies. We all enjoyed the Mac and cheese, which was shared by all of us. The sweet pies were pecan, apple, and lemon crème brûlée. Yum read more

My friend had been raving about The Pie Tin since the moment I have met her, and I am so excited that I finally had the chance to go. There were several flavor options to choose from, but this was my first Australian pie so I went with the classic mince pie. I also got a side of the ancient grain salad and a soda for 14 bucks! My pie was incredible , I loved the flakiness, I loved the mince, and I was so sad to see that I had finished everything on my plate. I'm just so disappointed that I was too full to get a slice of dessert pie. This place did not disappoint and I am so grateful for the visit. read more

It's ok. Service is non existent though. The Lime Pie looked great, but did not have enough lime taste.

What a range of pies and sausage rolls!! The pies are large and very filling, freshly baked everyday and are totally the right food when it is a cold winters day. The price of the pies drops at 9.30pm when they become 2 for 1. read more

Small place but a fun communal table in the Center! Amazing pies - both the savoury and the sweet! Seriously addictive. My only complaint is that it is too good and the pieces are too large for the dessert pies. It is hard to have a favorite but I think the peanut butter and chocolate pie wins but I need more evidence (ie more pies) to really make that call. The lime one I have had a bite of - yum! And my next one will be a sour cherrry pie. As for savoury, the pulled pork is amazing although it is a little weird with the apples in it. I liked it but weird. I have had the beef brisket (slow roasted deliciousness). Don't even try to have the 'pie meal' where the pie comes with two side dishes because then you won't be able to have the dessert pies without having your stomach pumped. Of course you can just sit there and have a glass of wine or two to digest. And they even have decent coffee, too. Yes, I have spent way too long for a nice lunch there. I am hungry again wriring this review. What an awesome place. read more

After reading Hannah D's post forever ago I bookmarked this place. Linda I's post tipped me over the edge last night and I had to go today. When you think of Aussie food one of the first things that springs to mind is a meat pie. I think most Aussie's don't understand the notion of pie past this (maccas apple pie maybe an exception... maybe) Then we have the American's who eat pies in all sorts of wonderful (sweet) flavours. Then there is Pie Tin, taking all these flavours on board to educate those lucky enough Aussie's to venture down to Newtown. FOOD I love pie and don't live near Newtown so if I was going to drive there it called for a pie party and 7 pies to be bought! 1. oreo cookie pie ($7.50) 2. gooey caramel & milk chocolate ganache pie ($6.50) 3. Southern style slow roasted shredded pork with apple and bbq sauce ($6.80) 4. slow roasted lamb with white beans in rich paprika & tomato sauce ($6.80) 5. mexican chicken with red kidney beans & sour cream ($6.80) 6. sicilian style chilli lovers sausage pie ($5.80) 7. bbq beef & creamy green peppercorn sauce ($6.80) I made my way around 5 of the pies and this is my verdict 1. I cannot pin point what but like Siri W. I just think something was missing. It was nice but just not as nice as I had hoped the gigantic slice would be 2. I love how the caramel oozes out of this pie. Both the chocolate and caramel weren't too sweet which makes finishing off a slice easy. 3. seriously dry with no trace of apple and bbq sauce 4. not as dry as the shredded pork but still would have liked the filling to be a bit more moist. paprika in the pie was awesome though. 5. awesome flavour. nice juicy pie to match the yummy pastry OVERALL With so many flavours on the menu but not all of them available each day you are taking a gamble when heading down. Whilst I wasn't 5 star sold kinda visit, I think I will go back to revisit soon to try out more of their awesomely sounding flavours. Please have the snickers pie ready for me next time!! read more

This is hands down THE best pie shop I've ever visited. Although it is of course a café. The eyes boggle from the moment you look at the gourmet selection staring right back at'cha. There's something to tantalise everyone's taste buds. At $7.95 they are value for money. The pies are the thickest in town and I'm not saying they look stupid, but they are insanely thick! I chose the butter chicken with green beans pie. To make it a meal you get 2 choices of salad for $13.95. Served on canteen metal plates, characteristic of the feel which goes with the name. There's a cool open plan dining area with open windows so you get a nice breeze. There is an awesome selection of dessert style pies on offer. I look forward to trying a few of them over a period of time. I would have given The Pie Tin 5 stars even on my first visit. My one disappointment though is that this café only supplies forks for dine in. What well deserving 5 star café doesn't have knives as part of their eating utensils? Overall, that is my only criticism and you definitely should create your own experience and pick up your mother sized pie with your hands. This is the way they were made to be enjoyed, right?! read more

The Pie Tin has that 'Inn' feel, old-fashioned and somewhat homely. Feels similar to a pie shop that you would find in rural areas. There are a selection of savoury pie, sides and great selection of dessert pies that are available from opening time.The most annoying thing is the time taken to serve the pies after ordering. It's all ready-made, yet it took more than 15min to be summoned to collect the meal at the counter with the place only at half capacity. Yes that's right, there's no table service. SLOW ROASTED SMOKEY BEEF BRISKET & MUSHROOMS + 2 SIDES $14.50 (Sides of leaf salad and potato salad) The size of the pie immediately stood out. It is quite big, one pie should be enough for two if you are going for something sweet afterwards. The pie is made up of a thin but dry pastry, I have mixed feelings about it. It is perhaps by design to hold up with sides such as pea/potato mash and gravy. I personally find it too dry and prefer the pastry of Bourke Street Bakery and Lorraine's Patisserie's better. While the filling of brisket was chunky and generous, it lacked depth of flavour and fell behind the two competitors mentioned above. The uniqueness of The Pie Tin is certainly its sides, the potato was good, served from the fridge and it did feel 'homemade'. The salad was standard and the serving was not as generous. The plate used was too small for two sides so you are better-off ordering one side instead of two in terms of value as they use the same plate size for one or two. BLACKFOREST MERINGUE PIE $7.90 to $10.90 The meringue is very rich and thick, thus very sweet. This heavy meringue looked like it would bring lightness to the base layers, however it was quite the opposite. It was the chocolate mouse on top of the crust that made it light and somewhat enjoyable. I am quite the sweet-tooth and even I could not down half of the meringue. The base was nice, crunchy textured and flavoured but not balanced when eaten with that ratio of meringue to base. Conclusion Considering the high rating on Urbanspoon, I was very disappointed with the service and technical execution of the pies. The pie pastry is way too dry for me and the sweet pies are unbalanced. The staff need to wake up or have a couple of espressos on the house to speed up their service. There is potential here for The Pie Tin to become a house-hold name with its image of generous and wholesome food. On this visit, it was not an experience to remember. @thesydneynoob read more

As far as a good pie goes this place has the atmosphere, the pies but certainly not the service. Pies and sides are great, which also comes at a pretty good price. The missus and I were very full and had a mediocre glass of wine each for sub $50. Now this place is doing well but that doesn't give you the right to be rude and arrogant. On numerous occasions when we asked for anything they barked back. "Can I have a knife please for my massive pie you have just served" ... no we don't do knifes (I looked around to see if we were on a plane or to see if there were kids around) OK. Im in a place the serves food but no knife, and tells you with attitude. Like I should have known. Then I asked for a spare plate... they said we don't do that. I offered to pay to rent a plate and the staff said "it's against the rules"... WHAT @$-72!? RULES??? Anyway the food is great, not the best pies in sydney but they are good. The service is what I imagine peasants were treated like back in the day so we won't be returning anytime soon. read more

This place is pie magic. We had heard whispers of delicious sweet and fruit pies at the Pie Tin, so we made a special trip to Newtown to visit. We had the coconut cream pie and the Snickers pie, both of which I adored. Huge slices and super rich. I am excellent at finishing my plate and we were struggling by the end. I took home a slice of the apple pie (which was the largest pie they had) for my flatmate and had a sneaky taste of that one as well. AMAZING. I think all of the slices are around $6-7 dollars. You can also pre-order whole pies. I'm thinking this will be a great idea for an upcoming birthday or party. I can't think of anywhere else in Sydney that does a nicer sweet/fruit pie than these guys. They had a whole case of tasty looking savoury pies too. I think I'll be back to see if those measure up. Drool. read more

Did you know they have a 16 kg giant apple pie called the "Pie that ate Newtown"? Well now you do. Tucked away in a side street, Pie tin is pretty much the epitome of deluxe-o gourmet things in pastry. Try the Lamb sausage roll, most of all try the Pulled pork and apple pie. It's like having your cake and eating it too. Pulled pork Yes! and dessert all neatly served in delicious flaky pastry goodness. If you go in at brunch time, on a Monday youll pretty much get the pick of the litter. Other times, Bam-so-busy. Go really late before close and get 2 for 1. Lemme go on a cleanse. Pork and lamb and beef served in a carb cup. #nomnom read more

The decor is great, with communal tables and fresh flowers & magazines but the pie I got was just awful. I ordered the steak, smoked bacon and cheddar pie. It had about 3 pieces of steak and the rest was bolognese sauce and bacon (and not in a good way). I actually had to stop eating it, it tasted and looked so bad. If you're going to make a bolognese pie, call it that. My friend got the pulled pork which tasted okay but was very very wet inside. By "wet" I don't mean saucey - I mean wet, water, moisture etc. Not so nice. Salad sides were fresh & yummy. I don't know if I'd come back for salad though. read more

One of the best pies place in the land of pies.. Their savory pies are exceptional, we tried the duck confit and the beef brisket. The pie is filled with well seasoned fillings. They also have the bigger than your head Apple Pie which my cousin tried, we all tried to help but it was hard to finish. If you are in Newtown, this is a great place to spend some time. The washroom is located at the back of the building, ask the counter staff for a key. read more

This place is amazing. I could honestly just leave it at that, because that's what it is, but I shall elaborate. I heard good things about the Pie Tin from a friend, and being the pie lover that I am, went on a little Newtown expedition to find it and give my 2c. WHOA. I wrote a text to my friend that same night to let her know I had been to pie heaven and never wanted to come back down. I unfortunately wasn't that hungry that I could fit in an entire meal, so I just ordered the pulled pork pie with apple and it was so good, I cherished every bite. You wouldn't think pulled pork and apple would go that well together but Pie Tin hit the nail on the head with that one. I shared half of my friend's chocolate ganache and caramel pie, then regretted not ordering a slice of sweet pie all to myself - it was probably the best sweet pie I've ever tasted, but not for the faint hearted, you definitely need to be a chocolate lover to appreciate the richness. I can't wait to go back and go all out...get a meal with the kumera mash and all. And try to fit in a sweet pie too...good luck with that, the meals are huge. An absolute must for pie fans. read more

The Pie Tin - Anazing dessert pies - Restaurants Near Me - Newtown, NSW

Whilst I was devastated that my favourite Newtown dress shop had disappeared (you'll be sorely missed Pretty Dog), I can't think of a better replacement than The Pie Tin. The Pie Tin sells pies. Pretty simple. They sell giant wedges of sweet pies for $6.50, including an amazing Berry Pie with criss-crossed pastry strips, American Pumpkin Pie and Lemon Meringue Pie with a dollop of fresh double cream. Their savoury pies are just as delectable, and on this occasion they have three different vegetarian options, including a korma pie and lentil and vegie pie with a potato top - my DREAM pie. There's also the option of traditional pie sides, including kumera mash, potato mash, mushy peas, gravy, mustard, tomato sauce and a bunch of salads. And sauce is as free as it ought to be! The shop rocks the industrial chic look that is so popular these days, with rustic exposed brick walls and swinging red steel light fittings. But despite its chic shop, there's nothing pretentious about the Pie Tin, who advocates a hands on approach to pie dining, as outlined in their suggested pie etiquette on their menu: "We encourage you to embrace the simplicity of the humble pie and eat with your hands!... if you must, knives are available from the counter." The rest of their menu is not so much a menu, but a step by step guide to their shop, from how to order, info about their pies, an open invite to suggestions, info about their take home pies and their coffee, 100% arabica 'eureka' coffee grown in northern Australia and roasted in Melbourne. The Pie Tin also offers kids pies and offer big sweet or savoury family pies (feeds 4 hungry adults) for $29 - $39. Plus, all pies are hand made in the shop. Delicious, affordable and lovely. read more

Being a Canadian, pies aren't as extravagant here than they are in Australia. So when I came here, I obviously had to buy two pies to have to myself. I got their duck confit and their short rib pies. For around $7-8 each these pies were definitely worth the money. These are more elevated than the typical fare you would get at an average bake shop, but they are thoroughly enjoyable both warm and even cold the next day. If you're in Newton, give this place a try you won't regret it! read more

Doesn't take much convincing to love this place. You're greeted with an easy going atmosphere and a system of being allocated a number and collecting your pie when it's called. The dessert pie cabinet glistens as you walk in, but if you can resist savoury pies with sides are just as good! Kumera mash is my side of choice followed by one of their rotating salad choices. It's all in the pastry people. Hearty home style pies in a no nonsense comfortable environment. Keep doing your thing Pie Tin! read more

The Pie Tin - Cauliflower pie and mac and cheese pie. - Restaurants Near Me - Newtown, NSW

When I was in Australia with a friend a couple months ago, we ventured out to the Newtown district, where I hear it's kind of like a mix of the Upper Haight and the Mission neighborhoods in SF. The neighborhood did have a little grit to it, but it's a cool area anyway. My friend had stored this place in her bookmarks, and it seemed like a good place to get some dessert. I ended up going for a slice of gooey caramel with belgian white chocolate, and complimented it with a 4 Pines Hefeweizen. The pie was a tad rich but delicious nonetheless. Caramel was indeed gooey, but I enjoyed the taste of the white chocolate. I also sample a savory pie, and it was just ok. A little dry, but it's my first time having a pie of that caliber. As for the Hef, it is a solid local brew. I'm more of a beer person, but they have wine there if that's what you prefer. The ambiance is pretty cool. The place was full, but there was a spot available by the time I finished ordering. It wasn't even that noisy at all, so it's a great place to meet up with people and catch up over dessert and such. The workers are nice too. I will remember this place because it's the the first time I've ever had pie with beer in the middle of the day for no good reason. Vacations are great, people. read more

Go to the pie. GO TO THE PIE! If the pie is calling don't fight the urges. Satisfy those pangs with a trip to The Pie Tin. If all you want is a boring ol' plain pie, they've got you covered. But you might have trouble turning down a mac n cheese pie, Mexican pie or Sunday roast pie. Yeah, these ain't your average pies. And there's a meal option too that comes with a drink and a side or sweet potato chips or peas and mash or salads. But wait, you've got a sweet tooth, right? No problem-o! There's probably too much to choose from. Chocolates, caramels, cheesecakes and tarts. My favourite by far would have to be the lemon brûlée pie. There's nothing like a little bit of citrus to cut through a hearty meal. Don't deny your hearts desire. Follow the light to pie heaven! read more

The Pie Tin, a lovely cozy place, might be overlooked because of its off-street location. Thanks to yelp, I can find my way to this one for the first time. This is the place for PIE and only PIE (alright... there are tarts too). A piece of savoury pie and two sides make it a meal. In term of portion, it is about right to fill-up emptiness in the ordinary hungry stomach. If there is enough space left, they also have wide variety of sweet pies as you might expected. I ordered a sweet roasted duck with potato and greek salads; everything is fresh and delicious. No chance to taste the sweets yet so I plan to go there again sometimes! Since space is limited, groups of more than 4 people are not recommended. read more

By accident while in Newtown one night did we come across this place and they were closing - while considering Christmas Day dessert I decided to try and order a pie from here. The menu alone is mouth wateringly (I know not a word - but deserved here) full of every pie you can imagine. For those of you who have experienced USA pie selection and taste - this is the place to get that and more! We had the s'mores Pie for Christmas and that was very good, but I still cannot get rid of the craving I have for the lime pie I grabbed as a snack on pie pick up day. The tang, fluffy soft filling and crust was better than any pie I have eaten and now I am finding any excuse possible to return........ can't wait to make my way through the menu!!

First things first, they make a decent pie. Their slow braised beef is like a warm hug on a cold night, there's no need for nanna to knit you a beige wool scarf. So they got the 'Pie' in Pie Tin ok. But that's where the party ends. The staff are run by a bunch of trolls destined to make a simple pie experience a painful one. 1) The tables were so filthy, diners had no choice but become janitors and bring their own spray'n'wipe. 2) The place ran out of forks. When i got up asked for a forking fork, I was directed to find plastic ones in a shelf that did not exist! I HATE you!! 3) We saw people who ordered similar pies well after us get their food first. Do you know how it feels to have people munch pies in your face whilst your hungry, cold and in the rain? DO YA? It hurts bro. 4) When we followed up on the case of the missing pie, we were met with a momentary spark of brilliance by the waitress who suddenly remembered that we weren't here to play monopoly, but to eat pies with metal forks. I was met with a cold "it's coming.." Sure girl, I'll sit my ass back down. 5) When our pie orders were clearly visible and ready to pick up on the counter, they decided to troll me even more by not calling out our order number. Thanks girl, now I really want to smash a pie in your face. I'm certain the possibility of just that was in their job description. After picking up the food on my own, the troll remembered to say: "oh yeah, that's yours." Thanks captain obvious, you floor me with your powers of deduction. 6) Oh yeah, was still waiting for a fork which had to be followed up again. Yes I do realise that it's perfectly acceptable to eat a pie with my hands, but I ain't getting my fingers dirty scooping mash and gravy with em. Needless to say, I've never felt so much pain to witness a fancy Pie Face outlet operate like a flock of blind pigeons searching for a hot chip. If you must come here, buy a cream pie and hurl one at the staff because they need to wake up and smell the fresh pastry. read more

If there was a definition of authentic Australian, the Pie Tin would be at the picture. Being in Sydney for a while, I've come across many different restaurants but nothing I would say was really Australian. My girlfriend kept begging me to come here and the dude abides. The pies were extremely delicious and the sides make you want to factory produce their garlic mash until that's just the diet. I also had a box of loaded fries but I could not finish that, it's very filling too. It's a comfortable space to be in. You get a selection of salt, pepper, ketchup and bbq sauce which is nice (I would personally want more sauces (but that isn't enough to bring it to a 4)). They don't skimp out quantity or quality. I'm going back there. Just an amateur reviewer here, hope you enjoy read more

Pies, pies, pies, omfg pies, like everywhere pies. How are you supposed to choose? Like srsly. Sweet or savory? I could see these thoughts passing through my partner's eyes such was the impact of this place. I glanced at the pie counters, made a quick decision and abandoned him to find a table because for some reason at 9pm this place was packed out, people were late night pie craving that didn't involve defrosting prepacked four n twenty pies from Coles. No, this was a proper restaurant dedicated to pies. Now that I've explained how pied up this joint is, I can describe how scrumptious my gooey caramel & choc ganache pie choice was...holy heaven, eat that slow else you'll be sick, it's so rich. We also gorged on the banana nutella pie and a classic mince pie. I was interested in trying the apple pie that ate newtown but it looked so good in counter display as a whole pie it seemed like such a shame to slice it up... If you can manage it, come here post dinner on the occasion you skipped dessert, you won't regret it. read more

I absolutely love this place! The fact that you never know what will be on the menu makes for a great excuse to frequent it often! This evening we shared a savoury and a sweet pie. We were there around 7 and found it surprisingly busy - lots of people eating in. The place is so small and cozy that my sister and I felt totally comfortable leaving our bags on the table while we went and had a peek on what was on offer. Savoury: we had the creamy chicken with hot seeded mustard & mushrooms with a side of leafy salad and potato salad. DELISH! The servings are quite generous so sharing a pie was a good idea so we could fit in a sweet one. The Dirty Granny cider was really nice too as was the ginger beer with lemon my sister had Sweet: we had the choc mint volcano pie with no sides. Sweet mother of God. It was so soft and light and not overly rich that it was a pleasure to eat. It didn't leave you with that sick feeling in your stomach. Although if we hadn't shared you probably would feel sick! We grabbed some coffees to have with our desert - the coffee there is amazing. I don't know what they do to it and maybe I don't want to know but it's GOOD! It's so great to see a local business that supports other local businesses (breweries etc) thriving in Newtown. It has such a warm and cozy feel to it that you can't help but feel welcome. read more

Pies are fruits of the...bakery? There's apple pie, pumpkin pie, cherry pie, mud pie, meat pie, potato pie... I dig their sweet pies mucho! From mud to banoffee to pumpkin to cheesecake (pie?) once you try it you will suffer from pie-tin-pie-itis (or is it lack-of-pie-itis?). Their savoury pies however, are a little dry for me...not saying there's no moisture, it's just not saucy enough for my liking. As my husband say 'they probably think they're too hip for gravy cos it's messy...but no one is ever too hip for gravy' and he's got a point. They do make up for it though with a good selection of sides, or if you're around the area 15mins before they close every night they do a takeaway BOGOF deal (showing my age here...google if you don't know). Service wise...it's a bit of a hit and miss, but then again so are most hipster/newtown joints. Either way it is well worth a go! read more

This place is as good as it gets! What a delicious idea to have a shop full of amazing pies. Tucked just off the main drag in Newtown you can't miss this place for a relaxed lunch or dinner or snack or dessert.

You have a choice of sides including cold salads and hot sides like mash Kumera and chips. Snack or Dessert: Just looking at the display case you get to understand the passion for pie making these people have.

The Chai tea is also very very lovely indeed :) read more

After reading all the positive reviews about this place, I was excited to try the pies.....but it was a disappointing experience. Why? #1 - I did my research beforehand. I had 3 different pies in mind (in case one was not available or something). To my disappointment, none of what I wanted was available...and in fact, there were only 4 savory pie choices (Really?? like really? With the extensive menu you have online, you only have 4 choices left at 1pm?) #2 - I panicked.....and perhaps because of that, I picked the wrong pie. The "sweet roast duck with seasonal veggies" was a BAD BAD BAD choice. The maple syrup was overpowering and the veggies (mushroom and something else) gave a slimy texture to the filling. BLEH #3 - No A/C. Scorching aussie sun shining into the store + eating a hot pie = ARGH The only positive is the pie is pretty big (for over $7, hell ya, it better be a big pie). I might give it another shot if Im around the area..I might... read more

On a cold winter's day you want something to warm you up. This was the place for a group of us not too long ago. The interior of The Pie Tin is industrial looking and there are individual tables or a big communal table in the middle. The pie selection is more than just your meat, steak and kidney, veg etc and is sure to have something for all lovers of pastry coated goodness. The ability to have both sweet and savoury eats is sure to impress as well. I can recommend any of the Duck pies and couple this with a cider or two and you have your remedy for any cold-day blues. Try the a slice of the huge apple pie if you are really hungry... That thing should be nicknamed the Big Apple! read more

I love me a pie. But being North American I sometimes miss sweet dessert pies, because they're not nearly as common here in Oz as they were there. The Pie Tin is where I come when I need that sweet pie fix. Hidden around a corner off Newtown's King Street you probably won't find it unless you go looking for it (or are circling looking for a parking spot). It's a small, cozy shop, with a few small tables and one large central shared table. Their savoury pies are varied and fancy, and I'm sure - judging by the other reviews - that they're quite good. I've not had them. What I have had is their Brown Butter Pecan Pie, their Mississippi Mud Pie, and their Apple & Mixed Berry Pie. While they're not going to make visitors from Virginia or Saskatchewan forget about their mum's pies back home (especially between $7.50 and $10.50 per slice) they are quite delicious. They're now licensed too, and if you fancy a glass of wine with your pie instead of coffee you can do that too. read more

After a change in ownership, the pies are as fantastic as ever but the salads on the side have gone downhill. It's as if The Pie Tin is trying to cram as much goop into its customers as possible, drowning its potatoes in mayonnaise and hiding cucumbers and leaves under a massive pile of cheese. I just want a nice refreshing side to my delicious pie! Providing forks and knives rather than sporks does make for a nice change... but please return the sides to how they were in happier days. read more
