Went there during the day and found parking just outside the shop. The Pie Tin is a little tucked away from City Road, but easy to find.
Staff were friendly and food was great! Large portion sizes, and great flavours.
Would go again!

Approximate cost: $7-12

I was looking for cookies and cream cheesecake for my birthday and not many places have this. So my sister recommended The Pie Tin at Newtown where she had been before for their savoury pies and they are excellent.

So, we ordered a Oreo Pie for $49 (approx. 14-16 pieces - medium to large size I would say) and not regretting a thing. LOVED EVERY SINGLE BITE OF IT!!!! Now I want more :D~~

The Oreo Pie was made onsite - behind the café counter, the pie itself had so many layers of oreo cookies with some sort of white cream cheese thing (sorry, really don't know what the white thing is lol). Presented very well in a box. First bite, I thought I was in heaven - it was that good....creamy, cookies crumble, fresh, you would have to try it :)

Enough about the actual pie itself, when I went to pick it up, there was a big deep pan apple pie which looked very delicious as well.

They have savoury pies, like chicken carbonara with bacon and mushrooms, korma styles vegies curry pies, duck pie, venison.

Here is the link to their menu http://www.thepietin.com.au/menu/pietin_menu.pdf

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE :) :)

I absolutely love this place! The fact that you never know what will be on the menu makes for a great excuse to frequent it often!This evening we shared a savoury and a sweet pie. We were there around 7 and found it surprisingly busy - lots of people eating in. The place is so small and cozy that my sister and I felt totally comfortable leaving our bags on the table while we went and had a peek on what was on offer.Savoury: we had the creamy chicken with hot seeded mustard & mushrooms with a side of leafy salad and potato salad. DELISH! The servings are quite generous so sharing a pie was a good idea so we could fit in a sweet one. The Dirty Granny cider was really nice too as was the ginger beer with lemon.

wow .... i am very impressed. this place sell the best pie ever.... even it cost around $8 per pie but the pie is so big it will fill you. the meat was chunky and generous. the dessert pie all are very mouth watering. my fave is the oreo pie but my husband over their pumpkin pie. also i bought the whole snicker pie for $49 which is not that expensive as birthday cake for my friend and she is very pleased. if u are looking for the best pie in town, u can now relax as you just find the right place.

This place is so good! They have sooooo much variety with their pies. Savoury: I've not had a bad pie, they get the gravy to meat ratio down, and it is not too much liquid contained so that when you bite down, it makes a mess. I recommend the chicken, leek and white sauce, and slow roasted beef brisket pies, because they are amazingly flavourful, well worth it.
Sweet: the one pie you can't miss is the enormous apple pie. It has so much apple in it, which does overshadow the overall flavour of the pie. I wouldn't recommend this unless for novelty value. The caramel and chocolate ganache pie, however, is utterly delicious. If you have a bit of a sweet tooth, this is right up your alley.

The service was also polite and friendly, and they had plentiful cutlery and a delightful, quaint ambience. If you're in Newtown, check them out!

Wasn't as good as I was expecting. Their sweet potato mash was yummy but the pies weren't juicy enough. :( Maybe it was just the one I tried. Sweet (apple) pie (served cold) was also rather lackluster.

Arguable the best pies in town... Pie Tin gets crowded at lunch time but you shouldn't have to wait too long for chair space at the big communal table. Pies are incredible - different range every day but the classics are always there. Love my beef and mushroom pie but really they all look good - never met anyone to be unhappy with their Pie Tin pie! Make it a meal ("pie plate") by adding chips or hot/cold sides (the kumera mash and homestyle baked beans are almost better than the pie itself) and good luck finding room to fit in one of those sweet pies afterwards!

Approximate cost: $11-12 pie plate

So yum! beef birsket pie is the best pie ever I have eaten.
There are lots of pie and sweet pie too. it was hard to choose one thing.
and I love milk shake (especially the mount of milk shake)
price is resonable. kk :-)

Yum yum yum yum yum.

Amazing pies, amongst the best around. I love chips or mash with my pies but to be honest, I can't manage that as these pies are monsterous.

Just off the main road so you could easily miss it, but trust me, you'll be glad you sought it out.

Approximate cost: $7
