i don't trust people who don't like pie. What's not to like? They're awesome. And this place sure knows it. Tucked away down Brown Street in my neck of the woods is this adorable little shop that, anytime I've been by, day or night, is always packed to the brim with people gorging themselves on pies. The decor is pretty minimal, but bright and open. There are individual tables as well as one big communal table in the middle, during which, on my visit, there being no other place to sit, the boyfriend and I were obliged to occupy. The display counters are filled with every delectable looking pie you can imagine, dessert pies on one side and meat pies on the other. You go up to the counter and order. Staff was half and half. The first girl who took our order was a little chilly, but the girl who wrapped up our leftovers (after about half of each pie slice we got we soundly admitted defeat) was very sweet. But let's get to the important stuff. The pie dammit! After careful consideration, the boyfriend chose the Coconut Pie and I chose the Oreo Pie. Both slices were absolutely massive (as I said we couldn't finish, but I didn't have my eating pants on so don't judge me too harshly). As to the quality...I wish I could say they were better! I really do! I wanted to love this place, but the flavour just wasn't there for me. Both pies were a little bland, to my utter disappointment. I like to think I just chose poorly in my pie selection - maybe the savoury pie is where it's at in this place. I did kind of drool over the idea of the pulled pork and apple pie. So...initially Pie-Tin didn't impress me too much...but I definitely want to give it another shot. So many people can't be wrong. I will be back to try their meat pies and earnestly hope they're as good as everyone says! read more

Just got back from The Pie Tin. Six of us entered excited at the prospect of the variety of pies on the pdf menu. I like the place, relaxed and cosy. Unfortunately only 9 types of pie are available daily. May be best to call and check on the day. Undeterred I choose the brisket and mushroom pie, mash peas and gravy. In fact six of us chose the same pie because of the lack of appeal of the alternatives. So how did it rank? Mash-great, peas- dry, gravy-nice but as for the pie- average, even though you could tell more effort had been put into the pie they still weren't as tasty as Garlos or Harries. The pastry as with most Aussie pies is just a vessel for the filling. Here the promise of something special was not full filled. I will return and give it another go hoping it was just an off day. read more

BEING SURROUNDED BY PIE SHOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY... SHOULDN'T IT?? A little upsetting dealing with this place. My wife is from the U.S and misses home so i got her a couple of pumpkin pies for halloween that we could share with the family. They were a little on the expensive side but you don't see pumpkin pie a lot in Australia so i think that makes a bit of sense. Called in the day before to make sure everything was fine for pickup the next day... everything ok to go. Next day i call in to the place and am greeted by a short blond grumpy looking woman looking all dishevelled. She doesn't look happy to see me... I'm guessing she's having a bad day so i'm bubbly to try and compensate and lighten the interaction. She can't find the pies. No reciprocation of friendliness, no smile; just terse service for expensive pies... and then it turns out... the pies aren't even that great. I can easily forgive mistakes, over priced pies, even incompetence... but to treat your customers with such contempt... no thanks. read more

The pies are delicious! I tried the malteser and flourless brownie pies. The brownie was my favorite, but they're both delicious together. 100% recommend going here with friends so you can share several pies. read more

We loved this place so much, we went back again during our vacation. It is a hipster place for pies. The savory duck pie, along with their selection of beef pies, were all delicious. During our second visit, we splurged and got the Tim Tam sweet pie and wow! It was super rich and dense. Not great for those on a diet, but good for anyone looking for a sweet treat. read more

Pies pies pies! Savory pies, sweet pies, chocolate pies, meat pies, so many pies. Decided to check this place out cause pies are just the most delightfully fulfilling foods I've ever enjoyed in my life. Pies are solid forms of soup to me. And I love soup too. My friend and I split a Belgium white chocolate gauche pie and a savory pulled pork and apple pie with a side of Kumera chips. Everything was easily prepped and served in a jiffy so it's good for those of us who work at RPA. It a small place, so don't expect to go here in a large crowd and find a spot to sit. They also have a variety of different pies that changes daily. They have a 2 for $1 deals 15 minutes before closing so if you're in the area at 7:45PM stop in for a quick grab and go. read more

This place is heavenly. The savoury pies are very good (love the slow cooked pork and apple, the lamb and rosemary and ALL the pastry rolls) but the sweet pies truly shine. You haven't lived until you've tried the Oreo cookie pie - the Snickers pie and the enormous apple pie are also sublime. A must-try! read more

This place is really, really good. Being an American I have high expectations for a pie shop since great sweet pies are a part of American culture. The people here deliver excellent pie that I can highly recommend. Personally, I can't get past the Peanut Butter & Chocolate pie, excellent. A few of their recipes could be tweaked a little, ( I am looking at you Apple & Chocolate), and the service seems chaotic, like they could do with a bit more order and structure to handle their worthy popularity Personally, I can't get past the Peanut Butter & Chocolate pie, excellent. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, especially since it is so hard to find great pies like this in Sydney. read more

The pie tin is the perfect place to go with friends for a casual catch-up. The pieces of sweet pie are definitely large enough to share between two people. With a cup of coffee each, you've got yourself a perfect afternoon tea. As far as dinner and lunch go, the savoury pie selection is unique, interesting, and delicious. Have a beer with (quality and kinda pricey range). Again, finish up with a dessert pie because these are really the star of the show. Families, tradies on lunch break, uni students, people on dates: a versatile crowd can be expected. As everything is made on the premises at such a high quality, this can only be expected. After all, there aren't many places in Sydney to get a good pie. read more

As an independent pie place goes, this one is pretty fantastic. Tucked away in Newtown, this little pie shop provides tasty savoury and sweet pies- and alcohol! Now, I am being a bit picky here. I am a fan of everything this establishment has to offer, except for their pastry. A pie with a soft, yet strong, flaky and tasty pastry. That is what I am after. Unfortunately the pie tin cannot offer me this. Their pastry is stiff, crunchy, and requires an entire bottle of Bulmers to wash it down. My partner loves it- sometimes I worry about his judgment. The dessert pies are to die for! Although, one slice shared as dessert is most likely more than enough. SO SWEET! Give it a chance and be the judge of the pastry. Whatever you do, don't expect fine dining. This is a little independent pie shop with uncomfortable chairs, and comfort food. The perfect place for a quick meal and catch up with a friend or two. read more

Huge range of pies both sweet and savoury. Snickers pie and shredded pork are both must try. Lovely atmosphere, very comfy Newtown place to hang out. Great coffee and artisan beers. I come a long way to visit this place and it's worth it. Highly recommend!! (And it's also got a nice clean loo!) read more

The Pie Tin - Coffee, fluffy and strong - Restaurants Near Me - Newtown, NSW

Firstly let me say I'd like to give 3.5 stars but the rating doesn't let me. I came here after a couple of friends raved about it so much. Being a non meat eater I was assured they had a good selection, however there was only a pumpkin & feta available, so got it. The pie didn't disappoint. The pastry was good & there was loads of filling! Went a second time and was met with a line up and packed but thats ok it's popular. I waited in line probably too long to get to the front of the queue to find no veggie pies at all. But if I waited they would be ready in 5 mins so I did. Fresh from the oven. Sadly no choice but Pumpkin again, which I already knew I liked but was hoping for a different flavour ( I still don't know if they have an assortment at all now) Note: I found the staff friendly but a lot of the patrons sour, probably if they smiled a bit at the people working there they would get better service. I'd just like to see more variety for us non meat eaters. read more

You can imagine my absolute joy when I discovered that Aussies love pie ALMOST as much as this Floridian does .. Dutch Apple brings smells of summertime picnics, beachside barbeques and Fourth of July festivals. Pumpkin and cloves signals the longing for a fall that South Florida will surely never see. Bundles of berry pies are the perfect compliments to a winter of mulled wine and bonfires. And Key Lime, the "Sexy Spring Breaker" of the Phylum Pie, invites pool parties and margaritas into my daily routine. Circular crusts of joy we know as "pie" are everywhere in this city, making it difficult to know who to trust in the world of taste. TRUST ME, Pie Tin is your one-stop-shop for all things savory and sweet! AND, to top it all off, it's cheap. Really cheap. Between $5 and $7 for homemade goodness. In the heart of Newtown, P.T. keeps it fun with tons of rotating flavors and fillings, ranging from lamb and rosemary to chicken and leek, and apple pie to passion fruit custard. They also have at least three vegetarian options, but no vegan options, which is still fantastic in a world of meat pies. We elected for the cauliflower and broccoli with cheesy white sauce, which was delicious! It could've used a bit more "spice explosion," but it was flaky and perfectly cooked. They also have vegetarian curry pies and lentil pies which sound too good to be true! Our journey then led us to a berry cobbler of sorts, which was MASSIVE and just divine. The cinnamon was explosive, the nutmeg was just right, and the smells alone were out of this world! For a few cents more, you can have it with icecream or cream, but we elected for au natural. If I wasn't trying to shake my tail feather for summer, I'd be there daily. Really. OH .. and if that's not enough, they also have cider, beer, and bubbly to wash it all down. Maybe shaking can be postponed until the weekend; I'm craving pie. read more

My Grandfather was the pastry chef in a very small country town and so my family have a very high standard when it comes to pies and sausage rolls, no joke. Dad has yet to find a pie that could match his own fathers' Tumbarumba pie. (Bryants Pie shop in Goulburn comes close) Needless to say my dad was impressed, so I take that as a bloody good indicator of the standard of these pies. Being one of simple tastes we ordered just the classic meat pie and the classic sausage roll (with fennel) and were suitably impressed by the deepness and perfect flakiness of the pie's pastry. The sweet pies looked amazing, but there not being enough gym time in the world to take on a meat pie and a sweet pie in one sitting, so I definitely need to make it back for dessert one day! I love the instructions on how to order, it wipes the confusion from people's faces when they read that there is no table service and no knives (sporks or hands only!). I also love the fact that you can get a beer or a cider with your pie, and they even make suggestions on how to match up your pie to your brew. Also the coffee is amazing!!!! (I try not to use this many exclamation points, but seriously, the coffee is so good!!!!!!) Not quite pops pies, but lets say the best pies in Sydney ;) read more

This is an epic Pie shop! It's burnt into my memory like a childhood home it's that good! The pies come in all shapes, sizes and varieties. Savoury pies are served in the cutest little traditional tins and have a lovely pie crust. The sweet pies will have you salivating for more once you've finished your savoury pie. I've dined in and also had take away. Tried a couple of varieties and never been disappointed, so don't be afraid of trying something new. read more

Hands down THE BEST PIES in Sydney! Amazing pies for great prices. Their fries are great too and if you can manage, you can even finish with a sweet pie as dessert! read more

Best pies I have had in a while! Large portions, delicious range of both savoury and sweet, great selection of sides. Definitely a must for pie lovers. read more

The Pie Tin - Restaurants Near Me - Newtown, NSW

Amazing cakes, with some good gluten free options. Friendly staff as well.

The Pie Tin is one of the newer venues in Newtown and I had the pleasure of having my first meal there the other day. They serve great savoury and dessert pies in a comfortable open setting. My wife and I chose the potato pie for main and a pumpkin pie for dessert-both were great and good value. The potato pie was very meaty and the gravy had more of a full flavour than your regular pie. The free homemade sauces were also an added bonus-smoky bbq, rich tomato and mild mustard. The pumpkin pie with a cinnamon hit, was also delicious-I forced myself to finish it all even though I was already full. The savoury pies are around the $5 mark, you can also choose to have the meal deal for $10 where you get two sides with your pie (a choice between kumera mash, mushy peas and other accompaniments). For seating, you can choose from the small tables on the side of the shop or a large share table in the middle. The place feels very welcoming and looks like a rustic bakehouse; the exposed brick work, the steel stools and the vintage ad pillows on the side tables all add to the pie tin's charm. Definitely come here if you're in the mood for a pie with a twist! read more

I have the Pie Tin to thank for making my birthday complete. I just so happen to love American-style pumpkin pie. While you can't walk down the street in the States in October without tripping over a pumpkin pie or two, the chance of finding one in Australia is comparable to the chance of getting hit by a speeding meteor. That's what I believed, at least, until I found this darling little pie shop. 24 hours after placing my order, I waltzed through the doors of this Newtown eatery to collect my little orange love. As I waited for the pie to be fetched from the back, I stood transfixed by the pie case, with single slices of up to 12 varieties available. From berry crumples, to heavenly lemon merengue, to various chocolate delicacies, I felt like I had truly hit the jackpot. Best of all, obviously, was the pumpkin ($39). From the buttery pastry to the creamy, spicing filling with a hint of citrus, it wasn't quite like mum read more

This is pie heaven - whether you have a sweet or a savoury tooth, the Pie Tin will have something for you. It's excellent value - $10 for a freshly made pie with two sides (the mashed potato is delicious) and free homemade sauces. The fillings are great - generous chunks of meat, a rich gravy and crisp pastry. It's also good to see an interesting range of vegetarian flavours - not just the normal boring fillings. However, the sweet pies are the reason I am a regular visitor to the Pie Tin. Any pie you can think of, they'll have (and more). Malteaser, Oreo, Creamy Coconut, Gooey Caramel and Chocolate, Black Forest Meringue and Pumpkin to name a few. The apple pie is mind-bogglingly big, absolutely crammed with apple, delilcately flavoured with cinnamon and wrapped with a rich pastry. The slices are very generous and if you've gone for the full-blown pie experience, a slice between two is ample. The shop has a very casual feel - chunky wooden tables and blackboards, free newspapers and comfy seats. It's always busy, and you only have to taste one of their pies to see why. Pies are an Australian institution, and the Pie Tin makes the best pies I've had since I've been in Australia. I am definitely a regular here. My only criticism is that they close far too early - 4pm - making midnight feasts impossible. read more

Firstly let me begin by saying I LOVE PIE TIN FOOD! It's so good. Fresh pies, delicious sides and the desserts!! My fav is the mac cheese pie with kumera mash, mushy peas and get the kumera fries side, you won't regret it. However I must say my last interaction with pie tin was disappointing. I called up to see if I could order over the phone, pay and send someone in the pick everything up. The staff seemed to think it was fine however the "supervisor" had a very different attitude. An over excited arrogant male took the phone from a female and said it was not policy and rambled on for another 2 minutes in an over the top tone before I could say "that's fine was just asking, you should look at maybe online ordering" to which he went on another ramble and then proceeded to hang up on me. I still went into pie tin that night and ordered over $70 worth of food - only because it was my best friends favourite and her last night in Sydney. Dear Pie Tin you better chiggity-check yo self before you wriggity-wreck yo self. Your pies be good but your 'tude stinks. Food - 5 star Supervisor - read more

Overall, a good experience. The space itself is aesthetically pleasing. The customer service is there. The servings are generous; however, the filling of both mine and my guest's savory pies were under seasoned. The pastry, whilst it looked incredibly flaky and golden, was a tad chewy. Lastly, the pumpkin pie tasted closer to that of a pumpkin cheesecake. Not a fan of this twist on the American classic. The base of the pumpkin pie left a lot to be desired. The crust edge on the other hand - perfect! The sweet potato chips are a favorite. read more

I've really enjoyed the few times I've been here and the different pies on offer. Their whipped lime cheesecake is amazing and has left me thinking about it more than six months after I went! Will definitely go back and enjoy it again when we get the chance read more

The long line was worth the wait (weekend lunch time). Had a delicious spiced lamb pie with kumara chips. Also tasted my partners Mac n' cheese pie and it was delicious. We topped it off with a whipped lime pie which was lightly tart and sweet. Everything was delectable! We will be back. read more

I love the idea of pie tin. I ride there all the time, different pie each time. Yet, yet, despite great pastry and lovely sides (coleslaw a great treat) the pie fillings (savoury) always fall down for me. The classic meat pie was over flavoured with what felt like a store sauce, the lamb and rosemary - lamb was tough and pie under seasoned, the steak/Guinness with potato - again tough and not as flavoursome as it could be. The Veggie broccoli and cauliflower with cheese didn't have a cheese/white sauce, more just a layer of cheddar on top of veggies... Today I had a new beef brisket and mushroom, and the meat was in big chunks, of which 50% was fat, and not meat, and the mushroom around was watery. I WANT SO HARD to love the pies, but always i am disappointed. I feel the store needs to embrace more spices and fresh herbs, and choose slightly better cuts of meat. The sweet pies are always a winner and coffee and sides always delicious. For a place called Pie Tin - they need to work on the hero of their store, the humble pie. Also - since becoming licensed, the three times i have been in its no longer self serve table water - I suppose to encourage you to buy a cool beer if you are thirsty. you can still ask for table water... but the change is noticeable to me. read more

Been here a few times, always reliable. Not heaps of vegetarian options but I'm told the meat pies are great. The sweet pies are the highlight for me! read more

Disappointing experience. I had the beef and beer pie - Dry tasteless pastry with chewy beef chucks. Not good. Didn't finish it. Sweet potato fries were good but came 10 minutes late. If you do one thing like this place does, you should do it well. read more

Coffee was good but their pies didn't live up to the hype. All in all it was fairly average

So good! I've only tried their sweet offerings but imagine the savory are equally tasty. If I'm out to dinner in Newtown, I try to save room for the pie tin for dessert read more

Wow. This is sheer indulgence. Don't come here looking for diet food. Although I did have a little laugh at the number of people gobbling down gorgeous pies with a can of Coke Zero . A delicious selection of sweet & savory pies at reasonable prices for excellent quality read more

Good value, larger sized single savory pie with two sides for $13. They didn't have all of the menu items, obviously, but enough variation to make it difficult to choose. I will be back, often, very excited for the sweet pies which I was sadly too full to try. read more
