About Pie Thief

Pie Thief reengineers bakery staples on Barkly Street with golden, butter-laminated dough and inventive fillings. Regulars head straight for The Big Thief—a sesame-topped homage to a classic fast-food burger served with its own side of burger sauce. The kitchen holds its own across the board, folding chunky chicken into Thai red curry and wrapping spiced pork and fennel in flaky pastry. Rotating bakes bring weekly drops like truffle mac and cheese, backed by dialed-in espresso and outside tables along the footpath.

  • The Big Thief: A sesame-topped homage to a classic burger served with a mandatory side of burger sauce.
  • Inventive & Classic Fillings: Inventive bakes like Thai red chicken curry and lasagne, plus pork and fennel sausage rolls.

  • Flawless Flaky Pastry Craft

    Pies deliver expertly baked pastry structures with flaky, crunchy lids that hold substantial fillings effortlessly.

    The pastry was pretty well baked, top sides and base, all of a similar thickness. The lid was nice and flakey and had a slight crunch to it when you bit into it.
