AMERICAN tries SERVICE STATION PIES in NEW ZEALAND!!!

[@bombiee5037]

Can’t believe Brock only has 4k subs. His videos are great! He definitely deserves at least 100k. Keep up the awesome work!

[@GlobetrottingBrock]

I appreciate that! I hope some day I'll have a channel that big! Thank you for watching!!! 😊👍

[@howardkip99]

I've been watching and enjoying these videos for the last few months and you can definitely see a progress occurring as each video seems to be a little better than the previous in terms of Brocks confidence and getting more professional and slicker with the edits etc, so I am also surprised that he hasn't accumulated more subs than he has, he definitely deserves more.

[@SweetTuiRose]

I just subscribed, this comment made me check. Can't believe it's so low! Brock's videos are awesome, I love the chilled out tone and his descriptive honest reviews.

[@Syncop8rNZ]

He's a Brock Star!

[@mpf_agundipsht3619]

Gave him one about 3 weeks ago

[@benjaminsmith5525]

Nice to see you blowing on the pie!!!! Your transition into a full blown kiwi has commenced 😅

[@nixsta]

😆😂'Always blow on the pie, safer communities together'

[@JoshuaBakerSheridan]

as a Z service station worker I'd recommend the butter chicken or NYC Pepper Steak my personal favs from the gourmet range next time you visit :)

[@ThiefOfBaghdad]

Our pie culture in new zealand is so real This is so entertaining lol every kiwi loves a good pie

[@goosegoose4603]

Hahaha. As a Z employee it was nice to see you rate our pies higher than the BP, though they have their good ones on occasion too. Good tip to follow is if you want the more "fresh" option of a pie try and grab any that are loaded at the back behind the ones in front. Not always a 100% guarantee simply due to popularity and how often people buy X flavours but always good to keep mind. Cant speak for all sites but usually between 6am - 10am is prime time for when they should be their freshest. The Meat/Cheese pies are a staple so good chances they tend to be the most fresh with the morning rush and baking new quantities to keep up. Hope you're enjoying your time here. Maybe do a Round 2 and compare us to Mobil? Love their Chilli Con Carne pie. Wish we sold it.

[@TheGunatungas]

As a Z employee myself, i agree with what you're saying :)

[@ApriliaRSV4F]

What happened to the Z potato tops? They were awesome.

[@TheGunatungas]

@@ApriliaRSV4F There is a Lamb & Mint PotatoToppa starting next week at all Z stations. Pie month, started last week - runs for a month. Stations will continue to sell till stocks run out. Drop in :D

[@allanahbolton2553]

It's always great knowing our pies at Z are better than BP pies. Also, the square shape of the Pepper Shroom pie means that it is vegan. The circle pies are our gourmet range, and the oval are our classics. I recommend trying some of our sweet stuff, especially our new pastry range. I love the cinnamon swirls, pain au chocolat and crodots.

[@richardcaldwell9160]

This could become a reality TV blockbuster - I would much rather watching you reviewing food outlets than say watching, Love island. or Shortland Street. I am hooked !!

[@Matt-x3y]

Great videos Brock, keep them coming. A few suggestions; 1. Tomato sauce is compulsory on a mince or steak and cheese pie. With your testing rate you could justify a bottle in your glove box. 2. Try Patricia’s in Island Bay, not to be confused with Tricia’s in Kilbirnie. Consume pie on the south coast. 3. Try Salut pies in Victoria St, CBD. 4. Try Nada in J’ville or Tawa. Raspberry slice for dessert.

[@saltmansimon5128]

If the crust is brown it's not burnt. My favourite from Z store is the butter chicken. Haven't been to a bakery that does it better!! Keep it up Brock.

[@stevekoroharris8748]

Hey brock Burger on a plate wellington is about to kick off..you will get some great choices

[@mpf_agundipsht3619]

A company called "Dads pies" makes the Bp pies. They have a Bakery in Silverdale where they sell boxes of pie's for $25. They are better cooked at home 2 minutes in the microwave and 4 minutes in the air frier to crisp them up lol

[@soonny002]

Have you tried New Zealand lamb shanks? It's a must try IMO. Love your vids, and love from Christchurch.

[@ozymandiastheking2139]

There is a pie shop in Ellerslie (Auckland suburb) called Richoux Patisserie. Most delicious pies in NZ. The Creamy chicken and Mushroom pie is to die for.

[@PantherFox]

seconded. i personally love their steak cheese and jalapeno.

[@B1g_Salad]

That creamy duck and mushroom is top tier too. Give it a try next time if you haven’t already.

[@JamesKylieMerton]

Richoux Patisserie is really good!!

[@Psi105]

Agreed, Richoux is awesome

[@skorpiogrl]

Is that one of the places that won awards recently?

[@cathyahchong9168]

Blue Rose Café in Sandringham, Auckland has excellent pies. I recommend the boil up and palusami pies!

[@paulcarter7445]

Great vids. Try a takeaway roast dinner from BayCourt Roasts in Kilbirnie - the roast spuds are excellent. A nice hot filling meal in winter.

[@Far_Que]

Gas station pies are only edible at like 4am on your way home from a night on the piss lol love watching your channel btw mate if your in Auckland try Dairy flat bakery, or pioneers bakery in Albany village. Bit expensive but they’re the actual definition of gourmet . Chur

[@slimjong-un5743]

Love to see some NZ pie appreciation 😂

[@InvaderZim2189]

If/when you come to Auckland, you need to try Big J's takeaways, their weekly special burgers are amazing, I have been going there for 10+ years, Jason the owner is the man in the kitchen and creates some wicked flavors you won't find anywhere else. You also need to try The Flaming Onion, just because their burgers are stupidly massive but also taste pretty good.

[@johnteniteni8423]

Good morning 🌞 from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@zoeevans2288]

Definitely try Couplands...custard square, big breakfast pie and caramel dounut ❤

[@rangercoast63]

Hi Buddy" I dont know if you have noticed but there are a lot of roast takeaways shops around that sell roast meals ......might be worth a look?? Cheers Rick

[@hayleythekid]

My man I have a Wellington recommendation for you - Bogarts Pizza in Brooklyn!! Big Shot is my fave chicken pizza, waaay better than Hell!

[@deepdooper3441]

My guy, if you're in Wellington. You HAVE to try duck island Icecream. There are two in town and it is easily the best icecream in NZ (if not the world...)

[@skorpiogrl]

Hey Brock! Love your videos. Just want to say if you haven't already tried the Palusami Pie at Blue Rose Cafe in Sandrigham, in my opinion it's a must. SO delicious 😋❤

[@David-wn4pi]

Usually pies from BP service stations are good. I ask over the counter if pies are fresh or how long they been sitting in pie warmers. Steak n cheese or pepper steak are best. Your videos are awesome. Oh Zed stations pies getting better. They use to be super salty and hot😂I mean gravy use to run out of pie.

[@maryenglish999]

Keep up the great work love you're videos 😊

[@marshallteech8946]

You should try cheese rolls! They are a New Zealand classic, you have to check them out. :)

[@chriskeentechnician]

[@JamesEricGardener]

What a time to be alive

[@nixsta]

You NEED to try Nada Bakery in Johnsonville or Tawa! Award winning pies! 🥧🥰

[@AbstractReaIity]

Have you had one recently though? Last time I went they gave me a dogwater steak and cheese that was mostly just cheese and gravy. That was from jville

[@nixsta]

@@AbstractReaIity Yes I have had one recently, sounds like you got a rare dud? Though I don't go for their steak n cheese so I can't really comment on those personally but those ARE their gold award winning pies so weird you had a bad one. Their mince n cheese are divine and my usual go to 😊

[@AbstractReaIity]

@0nixsta0 yeah, maybe you're right. It could have been. But we got two, and both had no meat. We haven't been back since tbh. Surely, quality control has a place though? Idk I think they fell off

[@Slimnz-89]

Caltex some, maybe all do jesters pies, they're pretty good. But yeah you'd probably be best going mid morning at the latest

[@AbstractReaIity]

Nah they high key fell off

[@brettyoung6356]

It's a shame I'm watching this now after you filmed/released it. But I have been hooked on one BP Wild Bean pie 🥧 for the better part of 25 years. The Thai Chicken Curry pie. It is amazing. Wish I could have recommended it to you. You most definitely will want another one.

[@carolemartin4513]

Oh, did I mishear, or are you really heading away from New Zealand. Great videos. Always makes me hungry! 😅

[@traceyjoan-nicholls1568]

You are such a delight to watch. Especially when I know the places you eat. And I agree. Z pies are great. And it's two for Tuesday up here at Z in Kawerau, BOP. 😊😋🤤 And if I ever get an opportunity to meet you, it's awesome to know I'm welcomed.❤

[@zarzob]

You really really need to try the Roast Pork pie from Patrick's Pies in Tauranga. Hands down the best pie I've ever had in my life. Roast duck comes close, too.

[@petermay1528]

Going out on a limb here but the pies you are buying from service stations were absolutely made in a bakery. I literally made millions over a span of 50 plus years and service stations were part of our customer base for many of the bakeries I worked in.

[@eggsbox]

brock, you *gotta* go to currizza by the basin reserve maccas and ora toa pōneke. also surprised you didn't get some pies from the night 'n' day lol

[@jacksoncampbell1953]

Fuck they sell gas do they?

Not sure why the vegan butter chicken pie you got wasn't good, it's usually pretty enjoyable. That said, I've not had one for a year.

[@andyfrizzell4352]

I'll subscribe. Missing Kiwi pies. The humble service station pie has obviously come a long way

Try the blue rose bakery boil up pie and corn beef and palasami pie 💯

[@O_Dingo77]

If your still in NZ, a mate of mine recommends the Fergburger. He said it legendary.

I reckon youi should do a review on Chinese food at the fish and chip shops (Pork Fried Rice ,Sweet & Sour Pork)

[@fionac4008]

Shoreline Bakery in Petone has amazing homemade pies, and the limoncello slice is reeeeally good too!

[@csletica]

Please please please go to Pie Rollas on K’rd. Probably the best pies in NZ. The pasty and filling are made by a Michelin trained chef. Happily meet you there and pay for them and introduce you to the owner.

[@KourtneyTrego]

Would love that thanks maybe we can schedule a time and I can meet you there 😂💀

[@BlindfoldSniper]

You were right about BP pies: That's the typical pastry outer and like you, I much prefer a good flaky pastry that is quite standard fare amongst the best bakeries in this country. But as much as I prefer those, you won't be able to find one at 3am when you're done for the night. 🥴

[@NatashaPetterson]

Interesting video! I'm a kiwi, and I absolutely love BP pies. They are my go-to place for a great pie. I'm not a fan of the Z petrol station pies.

[@AbstractReaIity]

Dude low key the best pies in Wellington are found at the New World Thorndon (no other NWs have a bakery like it). If you want to do another pie vid try: potato top, mince and cheese, and pepper steak. I think they are the best flavours on offer. You have to hit it up before 12 weekdays, they are usually gone by 1

[@Siri4got]

Part of the reason I like the service station pie is the harder pastry

[@nathanbeckham702]

Another epic video Brock though I agree with your initial comment, bakery pies rule better than a Service Station pie though it is hit and miss as you discovered when you visited BP and the pies there clearly had been sitting too long. Note for next time, use the tongs to press on the pie and if too hard walk away as it has been sitting there too long or they have the heat up too high on the warmer. Oh I also heard you on Mai FM this week, that was cool. If I ever see you in public I would certainly want a selfie with you. Keep up the great content and please stay away from the Vegan lol...p.s. you will have picked up by now that our spicy in NZ is very mild because not everyone can handle the try American Spicy Buffalo whatever (",)

BP pies are always hard no matter what time it is or how long they been sitting. Yeah sometimes it might not be so hard but even so compared to any normal pie it’s still hard

[@jaygee5693]

It's also a bit of a lottery on how long they've been in the warmer. If the thermostat is set at the legally regulated temperature the pies keep slow cooking, drying out the pastry and eventually the filling. When you're hungry though, even a dry, overcooked pie can be pretty good.
