Had this place bookmarked for some time as BF has been on the hunt for a comparable place to his beloved meat pies from England.
We were able to stop by for weekend lunch. Parking in this plaza can get crazy because Sidecar Donuts is in this plaza, right next to Pop Pie, and is pretty popular. For the time we were here eating our items, we saw quite a lot of people arriving to get some donuts next door.
Anyways, onto Pop Pie! We wanted to eat our hot items right then and there, so it was good that they had some counter seating by the window. There's two tables outside too, but it was easier to dine indoors. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they bring you the items on a metal pan that they take back and that they offer metal utensils for you to dig into their pies! They also offer a large water jug with non-single use cups, so that was another bonus.
BF and I ordered 4 items to share:
* sausage roll
* steak and ale pie
* classic chicken pot pie
* aussie meat pie
We had asked for the difference between the steak and ale versus the aussie meat, and it was that the aussie meat pie is a bit sweeter (think sorta like a sloppy joe kinda taste and consistency). I liked both and one would stand out over the other depending on what you're in the mood for (e.g. the aussie meat pie would speak to me if I was craving a sweeter savory pie that day, and the steak and ale would taste the best if I wanted a savory hearty pie). The chicken pot pie is a really solid pie here, with tender tender chicken, soft vegetables, and an excellent creamy sauce, wrapped in flakey goodness. I think out of it all, the sausage roll might be my least favorite since compared to the others, it was not as moist, but I do like the taste of the seasoning in the sausage.
Even though we shared the items, I was sad I had no room to try their desserts. The key lime pie sounded really good.
