A Sydney bakery has caused a stir among customers after selling a meat pie for $20.
Lode Pies and Pastries in Surry Hills has been selling this delicious treat for years and has become known for its unique and filling creations.
This tasty meatloaf takes three days to prepare, has layers of flaky pastry, a “chimney” on top to pour the chicken sauce over the wagyu breast, carrot and sliced shiitake mushrooms.
A debate started on Facebook about whether $20 is “too much” to pay for a humble pie; some think it’s “absurd”, others say it’s so tasty and filling it’s worth every penny.
Customer Chris praised the cake on a popular Facebook group, saying: “I think I found the most expensive cake in New South Wales.”

A heated debate broke out on Facebook about whether $20 is “too much” to pay for a humble pie. Many called it a “scam,” but others said it looks like a “work of art.”
However, the post was inundated with comments from those who believed it was a “scam” and others who said it was a “work of art.”
“I understand why it’s $20, the way you make all the dough would take a long time,” one commented.
‘This is my place and it is one of the best cakes you will have in your life. The perfection of the fluffy dough and filling is amazing,” said another.
‘Wow! He just looks at that beautiful thing,” one wrote.
Another noted that the price might be worth it if the cake is “filling” as it is a “meal.”
‘It looks good though! Considering you’re paying over $20 for a modern burger and a small side of fries, it’s actually not that bad. It depends on what you feel like!’ one said.
‘Wow. I went on their Instagram and these cakes are actually like a work of art,” one more wrote.
Another said: “It’s a spectacular cake, there is a lot of skill in the baking work.” “If it tastes as good as it looks, I think it’s worth it.”
The little pink bakery on Crown Street in Surry Hills has taken social media by storm thanks to its Instagrammable range of sweet and savory treats.
Although some were not so enthusiastic.
“I want the hand of God himself to have rolled the dough before I pay $20 for a pie,” said one.
‘Fools and money! It looks too burnt to me,” added another.
‘I tried it last year… it tastes pretty good, a bit fancy if I’m honest. I would prefer a chunky steak and pepper pie,” a third wrote.
“Dude, I refuse to pay that much for a family pie,” added another.
The chicken sauce is offered on the side to pour over the top of the meatloaf.
The high-end bakery was opened in November 2021 by LuMi Dining, and foodies still flock to it.
