The Pieoneer has done it again.

Now I had thought that a small café in Palmerston north had the best lasagna, smooth and delicate pasta covered in rich, creamy cheese sauce layered between a delightfully flavourful mince meat filling.

Yet again I was wrong. 

Every week The Pieoneer creates a flavour of the week.

Now it's been a few weeks since my last visit and this may have to become a weekly lunch spot.

If you want to find out what the flavour of the week is, go like and follow The Pioneer on socials to stay up to date. 

Now lets talk about the temptress of pies, seductive in the way that one pie just might not be enough, in fact it was so good I had two!

As always the pie bottom paste was delightful, holding its shape as I devoured this tasty treat with every bite.

The top flakey pastry simply divine as the crispy wafers of puff melt between your lips.

The pastry is one of the most important parts to a pie, visually stunning in the pie warmer, glistening in the light.

At this point I wanted to buy them all.

“The ultimate comfort” Olivia says as she tried her first bite.

They really are, from the first bite you feel at home surrounded by family and friends fighting to get the last piece from mums pan.

The pie filling is everything you could want in a lasagna.

I personally liked the hint of tomato overtones tip toeing over the pallet while the herbs and infusions complement and caress your tastebuds!

The velvety and smooth texture of the pasta covered in the rich creamy cheese sauce, surrounded by a delicate meat filling.

These pies are filled to the brim, they are weighty and you can feel the quality as soon as you pick up the custom stamped paper bags.

On the Tommys Tummy Test ‘The Pioneer’ reaches for the top rung yet again with a 10/10. 

Do you have a pie that’ll make it to the top of the Tommys Tummy Test?
