| - It took us a long time to finally get around to coming here. This location is a bit tucked away off the main thoroughfare that is the Queensway, so unless you're looking for it, you could miss it easily, but it's really not hard to find (one block south, and one block east of Queensway and Islington).
I now wish we had not dragged our silly little feet for so long, these pies are worth all the hype. The crust on these things alone makes me love them, very buttery and flakey. But then you get into the ample fillings and they are all incredible, never too dry or too wet (a failing of many other meat pies), and seasoned well.
Those dessert pies, though - OMG. Why isn't everyone just talking about those! We got a couple to split the first time we were there, thinking they'd be great to just round out the meal. The second time we were there, that's all we purchased!
One very important note to the proprietors and new customers, if you do buy any of the dessert pies with toppings on them, DO NOT put them into the standard pie boxes, they aren't high enough, and all the filling sticks to the top of the box (we learned this the hard way, and after about an hour on the floor bawling in existential crisis, contemplating the nihilistic nature of the universe, we vowed never to let that happen again).
Also, have longer hours!
