Why Choose Pie in the Sky?

Pie in the Sky is known for fresh, daily baked pies with generous fillings and flaky pastry, backed by a strong local reputation. The Old Pacific Highway location offers a scenic setting with outdoor seating overlooking bushland, and they cater to a mix of appetites with meat pies (beef, steak, curry beef and more), fruit pies, sausage rolls, breakfast items and quality coffee. Gluten-free options and good accessibility make it a welcoming stop whether you're passing through or sitting down to eat.

About Pie in the Sky

Pie in the Sky is a pie shop in Cowan that has been baking for around 30 years, and it sits on the Old Pacific Highway looking out over bushland and the valley. That setting is a big part of its appeal, and plenty of people will tell you the view is half the reason to stop.

The pies are the main event. The range runs from classic steak and pepper steak to curry beef, lamb, chicken and mushroom varieties, and there are sweet fruit pies too, including apple and rhubarb and apricot. The kitchen bakes daily, and the grass-fed beef pies and handmade pastries are what the tagline, "Great Aussie Meat Pies", is all about. Locals mention the pastry coming out flaky and the pies fresh from the oven, and the sausage rolls get a regular mention alongside them. Gluten-free options are available if you need them.

It works as a proper sit-down stop as well as a quick takeaway. There's a good run of outdoor tables, some sheltered and some open, with a smaller indoor area, and we hear the bush turkeys wandering around add to the charm. Coffee, breakfast and a fuller lunch menu are on offer, along with smoothies and sweet treats. The staff are friendly, even when it's busy.

Busy is worth planning for. Weekends and mornings draw plenty of cyclists and motorcyclists on their runs, and by early afternoon some favourites can sell out, so go earlier if you have your heart set on a particular pie. Opinion is a little split on the food itself: most people rave about the pies, though a few find the fillings just good rather than outstanding, and some feel the prices run on the premium side.

Parking is free, with a car park and street spots, and accessibility is covered with a wheelchair-accessible entrance, car park and toilet. Cards and mobile payments are accepted. Hours are a little longer on weekends, but it's worth checking before you head out.
