Salut Pies

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.

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.

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.

Had a few pies from here. They’ve been decent, no complaints from me. The coffees and matchas here are crap though. They use a lot of syrup for the flavour and it’s far too sweet. Matcha is chunky. Embarrassing to even sell it lol. If you get anything iced, they will put a HUGE chunk of ice in it so you’re left with only 100ml of actual liquid. The staff are rude. Overall nothing spectacular but worth trying the pies if you’re passing by and don’t mind a little stink attitude. You’ll be spoilt for choice if you’re in early enough!

I’m not usually a fan of savory pies, but when a friend introduced me to this place, it quickly became my go-to lunch spot. There’s always a queue when I arrive, but the staff is quick and efficient. My favorites are the beef brisket and the burger—both are delicious and keep me full for hours!

Salut Pies so glad I got to try these guys before I went back to Australia and the myth is real New Zealand pies are absolutely banging I love the party pies you could try here everyone was just gas 🔥

So far I've tried 3 pies and all of them are outstanding. This is going to quickly become my work lunch most days Safe to say I'm now a PIE person

Hands down one of the best pie I’ve had in NZ. The other being Milford Coffee Traders, in Milford. Quality pastry and meat - the beef brisket and cheese pie was awesome. 10 / 10!!
