Originally from the south island of New Zealand, Jamie – the pie man himself – travelled to Canada on his first OE (overseas experience). From the day he left NZ, he longed for the comforts of a hot, savoury, traditional NZ meat pie. Once settled in Edmonton with his Canadian wife, he realized there were no down-under-style meat pies to be found.
It was time to put that famous kiwi ingenuity to use and create his own homemade meat pies. After years of making meat pies for friends and family and fine tuning his recipes, the South Island Pie Co. came to life. Jamie wanted to share a little piece of NZ and his love of savoury pies with the fine folks of Edmonton – and that’s how South Island Pie Co. began!
The Arvo is our number one selling pie. Arvo is a kiwi slang for afternoon so forget afternoon tea. This is the classic pie to get you through the day. Tender stewed steak in a flavourful mushroom mixture for all the mushroom lovers out there!
You can’t go wrong with this classic meat pie. Packed full of locally sourced beef in a rich gravy and topped with aged white cheddar – they have been around since yonks ago.
Our kiwi founder’s family favourite. Combining tender chicken breast and our delicious in-house made cranberry sauce, topped with creamy camembert cheese, and we end up with this beauty! The chook is kiwi slang (pronounced like brook) for chicken.
A simplified version of our classic Old Faithful. Locally sourced lean beef mince in a lager gravy – but no cheese on this version. Simple as.
Hop across the pond to the Greek Isles for this scrumptious ‘Spinach Pie’, made with heaps of spinach, ricotta and feta cheese. This pie is a vegetarian and meat lovers dream. It is one of our top sellers at vegetarian markets as well as at our standard farmers’ market.
