This gem found in the coastal town of Moore Park Beach clinched the honour for its scrumptious chunky pie. Quite the leap from their win for the Best Gourmet Pie in 2021, this time, they focused their efforts on the plain pie title.

'It was really a surprise for us,' Nguyen said.

'We (were) all crying.'

Emotions ran high as the bakery, which only started in May 2021, saw a huge victory along with the support of its customers.

'They support us... we feel so happy, it's like (a) family,' Nguyen added.

Paradise Bakehouse also recently opened its second store at Innes Park, Bundaberg.


Bakeries that joined the competition were allowed to submit three kinds of pies for the plain pie category—chunky, mince, or a combination of both—and were all judged for their shape, colour, size, meat quality, flavour, and the pastry’s quality in both hot and cold temperatures.

Joining Paradise Bakehouse on the podium were other esteemed bakeries:
  • Best Gourmet Pie went to Rolling Pin Pies and Cakes from Ocean Grove, Victoria;
  • Best Plain Sausage Roll was bagged by Jack's Bakery in Mandurah, Western Australia;
  • and Best Gourmet Sausage Roll was snatched by New York Cakes in Miranda, NSW.
Over 1,500 pies were tested and tasted during the competition, which ran from September 11 to 14. The culinary fest, which has been a staple since 1989, was hosted in Sydney at the Fine Food Australia exhibition.


In a similar competition, Country Cob Bakery—a humble establishment in Victoria run by Cambodian migrant brothers Chan and Ryan Khun—took out the top spot at the Baking Association of Australia’s (BAA) Best Pie and Pastie Competition.

The brothers’ Cambodian-inspired Fish Amok Pie won the hearts of the judges with its scrumptious fish curry pie crafted using fresh Australian barramundi—a tribute to one of Cambodia’s national dishes.

‘Fish amok or Amok Trei is a Khmer steamed fish curry with a mousse-like consistency,’ the bakery said on social media after their win.

The best pies on the Gold Coast are from the Yatala Pie Shop, Exit 38 Yatala North, Pacific Motorway - 7 days per week. There is always a queue but it is worth waiting for their pies and cakes. They have been selling since 1914 but I wish they would open more shops across the Gold Coast. I was so disappointed with a match cake I bought at a Mudgeeraba Bakery I sent them a photo of the giant matchcake I bought at Yatala Pies. Yum!

I grew up with the best meat pies surrounded top and bottom in flaky pastry none of this shortcrust hard crust rubbish on the bottom. The only pie I ever thought was close to that pie was made by a small pie shop in Campbelltown NSW called Stockade Pies long since gone never had a better one since so now I make my own!
