Why Choose Upper Crust?

Upper Crust is known locally for fresh, generously filled pies with a crisp pastry that keeps locals queuing on weekends. The range spans classic meat and steak varieties to more adventurous options like Mexican beef, chicken and brie, and an excellent vegetarian selection, all made to order.

About Upper Crust

If you're after a proper pie in Collaroy, Upper Crust is the name that comes up first. It's a takeaway pie shop on Pittwater Road, serving the Northern Beaches since 1948, and it has the kind of old-school, by-the-beach feel that locals clearly appreciate.

The pies are the whole story here. The range runs from classics like meat pies, steak and mushroom, and chunky steak to more adventurous fillings: Mexican beef, chicken and brie, beef and burgundy, butter chicken, and massaman. There's a good vegetarian run too, with roast veg, spinach and fetta, and a pesto fetta and pumpkin pie all getting a mention. They come in single and family sizes, and the sausage rolls and a breakfast pie are popular add-ons.

What people notice most is the filling: generous, chunky and full of flavour, with pastry that holds together well for eating on the move. Pies come out fresh from the oven, and it's the sort of place where staff take the time to label each bag, even when the lunch rush hits. The queue moves along quickly.

One local found the pastry a touch underwhelming next to the fillings, another found a pie on the greasy side, and the sausage rolls get a lukewarm response from some. A few also feel the prices sit toward the higher end for a pie, though most reckon the quality justifies it. This isn't a sit-down date spot, more a grab-and-go stop on the way to a hike or the beach.

Parking on the main road can be tricky at peak times, though there's free street parking nearby, and a few outdoor seats if you want to eat on the spot. Coffee and breakfast are available, and they take cards and mobile payments. Check the hours before you head in, as they differ slightly between weekdays and weekends.

If you're in Collaroy and fancy a hearty pie, one local recommends it highly.
