review no. 133 of 2024nWonder PiesnnSo it was a short walk from Coburg to Coburg North passing through the old Pentidge Prison.nnI was invited down to Wonder Pies by world renowned chef Raymond Capaldi and his partner Jodi to sample some of their products and a tour of their bakery which is located in Coburg North. Ray has worked at some of the best restaurants around the globe.nnThey started in 2018 in Bulleen. Ray wanted to put a different spin on pies and make gourmet style pies affordable. Then covid hit, the Andrews government covid laws hit them hard as well as many Victorian businesses, but they've come through the other side stronger than before. Since then they've moved to a larger location in Coburg North in Dec 2022.nnThey have a dedicated small team of employees that work at the bakery that can produce up to 25,000 hand crafted pies a day. Other pastries and cakes are also baked on the premises.nSome of the events they supply their products to are the Australian Tennis Open and the Australian F1 Grand Prix. They have various pop up locations around Melbourne, supply pies to, Brisbane, Darwin, Perth and Jenny's Bakery in Adelaide.nRay has also had involvement with Meals On Wheels, developing a nutritious and healthy menu.nThey've developed a slightly cheaper product but just as good, under the name Nana Fraser's.nAll the produce is locally sourced, veg, fruit and meat. The meat is locally sourced too and all handled by a mobile slaughterhouse that's Victorian owned. The fact they've kept everything in house is supporting Victorians for Victoria.nThey've also developed another venture called - The Newlands QuarternThere's a large space within the bakery you can hire out. Some of the key features are - Seating for 80 guests, Chef's table for up to 18 guests, sit down cocktail events, conferencing, private screening and film studio hire.nnSo.... at last I've met someone with the same thinking as me, a pie should be able to be eaten one handed without the pie falling apart.nGenius nIt was great to have a look around at the wonderful bakery at Wonder Pies.nEnough of that let's get to the good bit, the food.nnBeef Cheek PienOn the menu, Beef Cheek Pie, Mash Potato, Peas, Salad and for Dessert Apple Pie & Ice Cream.nnThe pie....nOh my god did it look fantastic ! I can't get over the sheen on the lid of the pie. Photos don't do it any justice. Wow I was just blown away with the presentation. The sides and base were of a uniform colour. The bake was spot on all the way around, the pastry was of an even thickness around the pie too. The pastry was slightly crisp, with a slightly crunchy texture on the palate. A+ in the pastry department.nnBeef cheek is a cut of meat I haven't tried, so this was going to be an interesting experience. The pie looked full, you couldn't fit anymore in. The meat to gravy ratio was spot on as was the consistency of the filing. The pie stability, excellent. You could ride a bike one handed and eat this pie with ease The serving temp spot on. How did it taste ? Amazing, shredded beef cheek in a flavoursome gravy. It was mouthwatering delicious. The filling was seasoned nicely, I could taste woody notes in the filling which was wrapped in a delicious pastry with buttery notes, I was totally sold. I never score pies but if I had to it's a solid 10/10.nAccompanied with the most creamy, velvety and buttery mash potato and fresh peas was certainly a meal fit for a king, except he was sick at home. Ray did send his apologies.nDessert consisted of apple pie and ice cream. This was how an apple pie should be made, with fresh apples You can certainly taste the difference. Had the right amount of tartness on the palate served with the most amazing ice cream i've had in my life !nThe bakery has an outlet below, selling all of Ray's amazing creations. And has indoor and outdoor dining areas.nnI can't thank you and your staff enough for having me in and showing me around. Special thanks to Jodi.nnJoin my group on Facebook the -nMeat Pie Appreciation Group
Love this new addition to Coburg. It’s really cool to be able to witness the detail that goes into each pie. There are so many options to choose from and all are great, but the lasagne and breakfast pies are real standouts. And definitely try some pastries while you’re at it.
Food I’ve tried:n• Cheeseburger Pastie $? 9/10n• Shepherd’s Pie $? 9/10n• Lasagna Pie $8 8/10n• Steak, Onion, & Ale Pie $7.50 7/10n• Scallop Korma Pie $12 3/10 too fishyn• Beef and Mushroom $? 7/10n• Braised Lamb Shepherd’s Pie Family Size $25ish? 9/10n Croissant $? 3/10 Dry and didn’t have the crispy crustnn Price: Average. Slightly on the pricier end.nnService: Friendly and attentive.nn Venue: Sleek. Plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Clean and well kept. Water and cutlery available. Clean bathrooms.nnWas I full? Content. Normally need two pies for lunch. May add an extra snack if hungry.nn Overall: 8.5/10 There’s more selection of pies and other eats on weekdays than weekends. If pies in the display aren’t available in the warmer, the display pies can be heated up ~5-10 mins wait. Lovely service. Excellent coffee. Pricing on plaque is a little difficult to see because the display stand covers it. Lost points because some items were a miss.
The owner should really learn to be nice to customers. After all it’s us that keeps them in business.nnReplying to reviews threatening people with empty threats and trying to scare them is not the right thing to do.nnTake this review as a lesson to be better in all aspects of your business including food quality, customer service and most importantly being a humble person.
As someone who recently organised an event in Melbourne and was on the lookout for the best catering services, I can confidently recommend Wonder Pies Catering as a top choice.nnThey offers a diverse menu that caters to various dietary preferences and requirements. Whether you have guests with vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free preferences.
