Napier bakery wins Supreme Pie Award for 2015

New Zealand's best pie was revealed at last night's 19th annual Bakels New Zealand Supreme Pie Awards in Auckland.

Out of 513 entries, the potato-top pie from New World Greenmeadows bakery in Napier took out the supreme award.

Judges described the pie as a "perfect ratio between a flavoursome filling, a super creamy potato top, and a delicious pastry shell."
