Google lists: takeaway. > Easily a top 3 pie joint in Ōtautahi. Consistently nail the pastry, always perfectly crispy and buttery, never soggy or thick. Always have creative flavours on offer, but their legendary bolognese(with cheese) is the goat. They have good vegetarian options too. If you love pies, pop in, they're also a very friendly bunch., E.R Stewart, 5 months ago > Hands down the best pies in the Christchurch area. They are clearly made with love and have real fillings, different flavors from your typical bakeries. They are not your typical run of the mill pastry shop pies. Very much like home made pies. You can see the bakers working hard in the background., Joseph McNeill, 3 months ago > Arguably, the best pies in the Christchurch area. Open Tuesday to Saturday morning. Not stunningly easy to find, but once you know you know... My favourite has been steak and red wine, hands down. Excellent pastry!, Stephen McNeill, 5 months ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.6036541&lon=172.7217093) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.6036541,172.7217093,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=Hope%20River%20Pies) - [Lyttelton](https://www.chch.live/lyttelton), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/159974485), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is Hope River Pies?** A pastry shop in Lyttelton, Christchurch. **Where is Hope River Pies?** 10a Norwich Quay, Lyttelton (behind the fish'n'chip shop), Lyttelton, on [Norwich Quay](https://www.chch.live/street/lyttelton/norwich-quay).
