Salut Pies

Good ol’ pies with modern twists! They’ve perfected the art of pie flavors and for that, Salut! We only got one each at first (salmon and braised belly) but ended up getting another when a freshly baked buffalo chicken was displayed! Everything was heavy in flavor and meat (in a really positive way) and we loved every full bite of jt! Definitely some of the best pies we’ve ever had.

After a night out had to take my colleague here for a recharge to start the day. I just needed a trusty goodie to get into. So mince & cheese. OMG, was just what I needed. Pastry was fire, the mince was so tasty and the cheese was plenty of it. Service always with a smile, the team here really do a great job, coffee is always great. If you love pies, not just basic pies but well constructed works of perfection, then Salut is a must visit.

I was reserving 5 stars for the best pies I could find as I travelled around New Zealand tasting pies at highly recommended pie places. These pies are absolutely outstanding, and hands down the best pies I have found. I love the size and shape of the pies, which look both gourmet, but also lovingly homemade. The pastry is cooked to perfection, and there is an amazing range of original flavours. I tried the teriyaki pork belly, the meat was cooked perfect, the gravy/sauce was flavourful and not too salty. My son had a classic mince and cheese pie and it also looked amazing and he said it was “loaded” and the best mince and cheese pie he’s ever had. The cafe itself is lovely and open where you can eat in if you want. What I love about this place is that they’ve kept it simple. They do pies, and they do pies extremely well. It is a true pie shop through and through. I would love to see a place like this become a franchise so long as it stayed true to the amazingly well done pies. We’ll definitely be back.

Probably one of the best meat pies I have had in New Zealand, definitely would recommend.

Possibly Wellington’s best pies — and the coffee’s great too. I’ve been twice and both times the pies have been brilliant: big, hearty, and packed with flavour. The Chinese BBQ pulled pork is a standout. Great range of flavours, friendly staff, and seriously good coffee make this a must-visit.

If you have a sweet tooth, get the braised pork belly. So good, the highlight is definitely the pastry.

I’ve been eating pies religiously for many years around the country. Already been twice since I found it and this would have to be my favourite place in NZ for pies so far. Thanks to the lovely staff and owners for helping us organise our babies formula bottle and serving up a real pie 10/10. I’ll be back with backup to devour some more!

Our Pie club ventured to Salut after a recommendation. I'd say more about that, but we don't talk about pie club. Salut pies blew us away. I tried the brisket with jalepeno and bacon relish pie, which was fantastic and very good value at $11. Would happily have paid more as ot was packed with brisket. There wasn't a really strong jalepeno flavour, but a very small complaint for what was an excellent feed. Staff were friendly, and it was a nice place to sit and eat. The line was out the door but moved quickly. Definitely recommend. Friends had the teriyaki pork belly and loved it. I'll try that next.
