Across the world, pies, in one form or another, have long been a source of comfort—but here in Australia, they’re an icon.
Whether encased in all-butter pastry, delicate filo, shortcrust or puff, there’s nothing quite like cracking through flaky layers into molten, hearty filling.
And while country bakeries will always be in a league of their own, Perth’s pie scene is proving it measures up. From old-school butchers serving rustic family favourites to new-wave bakers applying a fine-dining touch, the city is brimming with worthy contenders.
We’ve mapped out the best pies in Perth right now, so consider this your guide to flaky, golden comfort at its finest.
Angelwood Pies
One of Perth’s most exciting new openings this year, Angelwood Pies has quickly built a loyal following. At the helm, Richard Overbye—whose fine-dining résumé spans Wildflower, Restaurant Amuse, three-Michelin-starred Maaemo, and Amaru—brings a fine-dining lens to the humble pie.
On an ever-rotating menu, find standout fillings like Keralan snapper curry, or lamb shank with black olive and polenta. Follow your pie up with one of their nostalgic sweet specials—think melting moments, musk sticks, and lamingtons—and you’ve got a midday meal with serious clout.
663 Newcastle St, Leederville
Nieuw Ruin
Nostalgia runs through the menu at Nieuw Ruin, with timeless CWA-inspired recipes elevated with old-school European flair and the best seasonal produce—and the cauliflower pie shines as one of the best you’ll find in any restaurant in Perth.
A filo pastry rose-shaped pie perches tall atop a pool of French onion gravy, and that alone is an impressive site. But break through the layers of filo to reveal a molten cauliflower and cheddar filling—because that’s where the magic happens. Despite seasonal changes, this pie has remained on the menu for good reason.
12 Norfolk St, Fremantle
Edward and Ida’s
Blaze and her team don’t just showcase their pie skills at Nieuw Ruin, Northbridge’s Edward and Ida’s is another stage for their talent. A rotating selection of pies stars alongside counter-meal classics, all baked fresh to order.
You might find a braised lamb shepherd’s pie with roasted garlic mash, or a leek, cheese and chive—but it’s hard to go past the beef and Guinness pie, crowned with a bone-marrow chimney, which never leaves the menu and will have you coming back time and time again.
269 William St, Northbridge
Rottnest Bakery, Available at The Good Grocer
A visit to Rottnest Island isn’t complete without a stop at Rottnest Bakery for an Island pie, but now you don’t need to board a ferry to get your fix. The Good Grocer East Fremantle stocks its range of classic Australian pies. Among the traditional favourites, their luxe crayfish-filled number remains the undeniable showstopper—available hot so you can get one on the run.
Maley St, Rottnest Island
Olsen Butchers
Since 1989, Olsen Butchers have been a trusted part of the Roleystone and South Perth communities. Beyond their paddock-to-butcher meats—many of which make it to the grill at their neighbouring restaurant, Nextdoor—their pies stand out among their range of homemade ready-made meals. Chunky, rustic, and packed with filling, these pies deliver the comfort of a homemade pie without the laborious effort. Available hot to go at the South Perth outpost.

Fussy Meats
Having been on Perth’s butchery scene since 1975, Fussy Meats has earned a loyal following for its old-school service and paddock-to-plate, ethically farmed meats. That same commitment to quality flows into their award-winning pies, each packed to the brim with premium fillings.
The pepper steak has a citywide reputation as one of the best you’ll find, while the pulled beef and jalapeño, and the lamb and rosemary, are just as worthy of attention.

Goods Bakery
While the queues at Goods Bakery often form for their signature crullers and ever-changing weekend specials, the pies here deserve just as much fanfare. The chunky beef and stout serves those after a classic, while vegetarians are well looked after with the eggplant curry pie that’s become one of the standout vegetarian pies in Perth’s pie scene.
11 Oxford Cl, West Leederville
Georgee Pies
A fresh addition to East Fremantle’s George St, Georgee Pies specialises in handmade “proper English” pies with a menu that’s always on the move. One day, you might find a Reuben pie, the next, a goat and potato curry or hoisin duck. Of course, they’ve also got the classics like pork bolognese and steak and Guinness. Sweet tooths aren’t forgotten either—the apple pie is worth saving room for.
131 George St, East Fremantle
Big Loaf
The Big Loaf group have cemented their place in Perth’s bakery scene, from the iconic North Street Store in Cottesloe to Little Loaf in South Fremantle and the Big Loaf Bakehouse, with their goods also found in neighbourhood delis and grocers across the city. Their pies carry the same reputation, taking on the flavour and spirit of Aussie classics—think chunky beef or chicken and leek—all encased in flaky, buttery handmade pastry.
7 Zeta Cres, O’Connor
Butter Crumbs
What began as a weekend market stall at Mount Claremont Farmers Markets has grown into a thriving bakery on Beaufort Street. The beef rendang and mushroom ragu pies remain favourites from their market days, while a rotating selection of specials keeps things interesting. Across the board, local producers shine in the fillings, while the pastry crafted with puff pastry from Empire Pastry in Darlington is consistently top-notch.
669 Beaufort St, Mount Lawley
Grain Bakery
Grain Bakery takes on the persona of a country bakery in the big smoke, with fifth-generation baker Shane Pallot at the helm. Time-honoured recipes are a given here, with pies made from scratch every day using recipes unchanged for more than 40 years. Among the range, the steak, cheese and jalapeño has carved out a name for itself.
