The Great New Zealand Pie Hunt

Let the Great Pie Hunt Begin!

As summer sets in and holiday road trips beckon, NZ Bakels has cooked up a delicious way to make your travels even more memorable. Introducing The Great New Zealand Pie Hunt — an interactive map designed to guide you to New Zealand’s most award-winning bakeries. Now, you can enjoy the scenic beauty of Aotearoa while indulging in the finest pies our country has to offer.

Head over to piehunt.nz and explore the ultimate pie-lover’s map. This easy-to-use interactive tool pinpoints the locations of bakeries that have been crowned champions in the 2024 New Zealand Bakels Supreme Pie Awards. Whether you’re heading to the beaches of the Coromandel or exploring the rugged South Island, this map ensures you won’t miss out on a chance to savour pie perfection.

NZ Bakels managing director Brent Kersel explains the inspiration behind the initiative: “After we announced the winners in this year’s Pie Awards back in July, people from all over New Zealand, even tourists, started seeking out the winning bakeries to taste their champion pies. But now that some time has passed, it’s easy for pie fans to forget where those bakeries are located.”

To solve this problem, NZ Bakels has made it effortless to rediscover these iconic bakeries. As Kersel says, “Food stops are an essential part of any road trip. When you see a bakery sign in town, you just can’t resist. But not all pies are created equal, and our Great New Zealand Pie Hunt map will lead you to only the very best — pies that have jumped through hoops to earn their award-winning status.”

Turn Your Road Trip Into a Pie Pitstop Adventure

Why not make your road trip even more exciting by challenging yourself to see how many award-winning pies you can tick off the map? Whether you’re a fan of steak and cheese, mince and gravy, or something more adventurous like a gourmet slow cooked Sumatra style beef pie, there’s a flavour for everyone to discover.

Get Social with Your Pies

NZ Bakels isn’t just stopping at the map. They’re inviting pie lovers to share the journey on social media. Be sure to follow Bakels New Zealand Supreme Pie Awards on social media as we highlight pie pitstops around New Zealand, inspiring your next delicious detour.
