About Tony's Pies
Tony's Pies is a family-owned bakery in Essendon, Victoria, and pies are what it does best. The tagline says baked fresh in Essendon since 1984, and the trade shows in the range. Pastry comes out hand-made and baked daily from early in the morning, so you can grab a pie hot or take it home cold to heat up later.
Locals who know the place talk about the steak varieties in particular, with steak and mushroom, steak and cheese and pepper steak all getting a mention. There's also a chicken and vegetable pie, plus sausage rolls, pasties and quiche. One person who dropped in for lunch found the pies delicious and the woman at the counter welcoming, and friendly service comes up often. It's a tidy little shop, with a few seats outside and a reserve a short drive away if you'd rather eat on the grass.
On the sweet side, the French vanilla slice has a following of its own, rich and creamy, and the donuts and pastries tempt anyone with a sweet tooth. One local found the sausage rolls on the small side, though solid and nicely made. As with any pie shop, taste is personal.
Tony and his son are known for running pie drives for schools, kindergartens, netball clubs and workplace fundraisers. People who have organised one praise the communication and the way the pies sold. If you're planning a family gathering, they make family-size pies and quiche to order, and a sandwich bar handles sandwiches. Custom cake orders and catering are also on the list.
For a quick stop, they offer takeaway, in-store pick-up and delivery, with coffee and breakfast on hand.

They also run a second shop in Kingsville. Check the hours before you head in, as the shop is closed one day a week.
