best pie in victoria

Ah, the humble meat pie—a true Aussie icon, especially in Victoria where the competition is fierce and flaky. You'll find that the top contenders often come from local legends like Harry's Cafe de Wheels in Melbourne, famous for its classic beef and mushy peas, and Baker D. Chirico, boasting a crust so buttery it practically melts in your mouth. For a gourmet twist, try the pies from The Pie Tin in Ballarat, where fillings range from traditional steak to wild mushroom and truffle. Prices usually hover around $5 to $8 for a single pie, with some places offering bulk deals if you're feeling especially pie-hungry. Used (read: reheated) pies are never the same, so fresh is king here. For a proper pie pilgrimage, check out reviews on Tradingpost or CarShowroom's food section (if you're into that sort of thing). Bon appétit, pie aficionados!
