Muzzas Gourmet Pies

Really 4.5 stars. I don't give 5 stars easily Muzza left some years back but passed the torch to the current baker who has kept the gourmet flame burning. I must say that the pastry is outstanding. There seems to be about 20 different kinds of pies. Today it was chicken and mushroom was was good but my fave so far is tandoori chicken. For me it must be washed down with a Bundy ginger beer. I hear the sausages roils are special but so far I can't go past the pies. The pies are $7 a throw so you would expect a quality article. The service is very friendly and I would walk an extra kilometer to get a Muzza pie.

Went on a little pie crawl and our first stop was Muzza's (Gourmet) Pies in Coorparoo. Their best sellers are reportedly the various chunky steak options, but we were also recommended the chicken, brie & asparagus pie ($6), and that's what we went with. The boy wanted a party pie ($2) so we got one of those too. Verdict: kinda wished we went with a chunky steak option instead, cos this chicken pie, whilst an ok choice, wasn't a real standout. The brie wasn't too obvious, but then again I guess it's not a strong cheese to begin with. The pastry itself was pretty good - flaky top and sides/base not too dense. With all pies at $6 or less, I'd be happy to return and try some other flavours.

Good pies seem to be really hard to find in Brisbane but the pastry used here is fabulously flaky. The mince/cheese and cheese/steak are a hit in this household but for me, the chicken and mushroom wins every time. The broccoli and cauliflower triangles are so good too - they may sound odd but are so enjoyable. Yum. I also like that you can buy frozen pies for $3.00 and packs of pasties or sausage rolls for $5 too they make for a low effort dinner or delicious snack.

Not being local we visited Muzza's for lunch today. I had a ham and salad roll which was very nice, the coleslaw was a pleasant surprise. My husband had a chunky beef and mushroom pie. He said the pastry was lovely and the filling was really tasty. The guy that served us was friendly. Definitely recommend.
