Are the holidays just around the corner? Or maybe you are hosting a get-together or party and you are trying to come up with a meal that could cater to a large group. If so, then a pie will be one of your best options! The good thing about pies is that you won’t have to settle for the same ingredient over and over again. Yes, you can experiment! Who wouldn’t want to be surprised with what kind of pies are in front of them?
With that said, here are 25 classic and savory pie recipes everyone will love!
25. Spanakopita Recipe (Greek Spinach Pie)
Now’s the perfect moment to experiment with the intriguing art of phyllo pastry!
This recipe’s filling – a blend of spinach, feta cheese, garlic, and onion – yearns for the unique crispiness that only phyllo can offer.
The key lies in keeping it beneath a moist cloth, which helps to ward off dryness.
Each individual sheet that you lay in the dish needs a brush of oil or butter.
Ensure that you squeeze your spinach to eradicate surplus moisture, and if there are any leftovers, warm them up in the oven to maintain the pastry’s crispness.
24. Pastelitos de Carne
Originating from the vibrant country of Cuba, these small meat-filled pastries are an ideal munch.
They utilize puff pastry, which not only trims your preparation time when using ready-made, but it also introduces a delightful texture and flakiness in every mouthful.
As you peruse the list of ingredients, you might pause in surprise near the end.
Raisins? Believe in the culinary journey!
Their subtle sweetness harmonizes flawlessly with the savory olives.
23. Cheese and Onion Pie
This is a widely enjoyed dish across the UK. It’s a universal truth that cheese and onion are a culinary match made in heaven.
I would advocate for using robust mature cheddar in this recipe, as it’s effectively the main attraction!
Ensure to gently sauté the onions before merging them with the cheese, and don’t hesitate to incorporate a bit more mustard.
22. Tourtière (French-Canadian Meat Pie)
Incorporating mashed potatoes into your meat pie is a fantastic strategy to consolidate the mixture and introduce a rich creaminess to the filling.
I appreciate the combination of ground beef and pork, but I might also consider incorporating some pork sausage meat for peak flavor.
Owing to the mashed potatoes, this pie will yield the quintessential slice.
21. Easy Italian Cheese & Tomato Pie
Technically, the divergence between a pie and a tart lies in their depth. Pies are traditionally deep-dish, while tarts are more shallow.
So, in strict terms, this could be a tart, but I’m including it regardless because it’s irresistibly tasty.
And it’s incredibly straightforward to prepare!
Begin with a pre-made pie crust and fill it about halfway with your preferred cheese.
Mozzarella is an essential ingredient in my opinion, but feel free to pair it with your preferred cheese!
Crown it with sliced tomatoes and a sprinkle of oregano and basil for a fresh, pizza-esque tart.
20. Savory Pumpkin Hand Pies
Recognized as ‘pasties’ in the UK, handheld pies are delightful bite-sized morsels when enjoyed solo or perfect for a substantial meal accompanied by a generous serving of veggies.
You’ll encounter an array of types in UK bakeries, ranging from chicken, ham, and leek to cheese and onion.
However, these pumpkin gems are truly unique.
Use ready-made vegan pastry and a diverse array of herbs and spices for these pies – they’re perfect for vegans or those observing Meatless Mondays.
Roasting the vegetables prior to stuffing them into the pies enhances the depth of flavor and ensures that everything is fully cooked once the pastry turns a golden hue.
19. Steak and Mushroom Pie
Steak pie stands as a perennial favorite in traditional pubs.
Simmered until the beef reaches a stage of fork tenderness, complemented by hearty vegetables and a plethora of mushrooms, it’s robust, satisfying, and scrumptious.
Carrots, celery, and onions form the indispensable trio in soup and stew preparation, providing an excellent base for the pie filling.
The real experimentation begins with the mushrooms!
Venture out and experiment with a variety of mushroom types, introducing diverse flavors and textures to your dish.
18. Beef and Guinness Pie
While poultry and seafood dishes have their own allure, a hearty beef stew or pie exudes an unparalleled sense of comfort.
The combination of dark meat, vegetables, and rich, savory gravy makes for a perfect dish to combat winter chill.
The pie filling in this recipe is essentially a delectable stew, prepared with beef chuck and robust stout beer.
I prefer to cook a larger quantity and portion it into three distinct meals.
Follow the recipe to create a pie, top it with mashed potatoes, or retain it as a basic stew with added potatoes and an assortment of vegetables.
17. French-Canadian Salmon Pie
Salmon offers a delightful and light pie filling option.
Although it may not be as prevalent as beef or chicken, it certainly presents a more visually appealing dish!
Being a fan of a classic fish pie, I fondly recall consuming a dish akin to a seafood pot pie, featuring a creamy sauce with shrimp.
The zesty lemon and dill sauce brings the entire dish to life, and I would recommend incorporating some into the filling.
16. Irish Potato Pie
The simplicity of this pie allows you to have it ready for baking in less than a quarter of an hour, requiring less than ten ingredients!
If there’s a trio that surpasses potatoes, onions, and bacon, it remains unknown to me.
I admire the use of frozen puff pastry, which introduces an appealing flaky texture to the crust, and cooking the potatoes in bacon fat is pure brilliance.
As a final touch, I would suggest grating a generous amount of mature cheddar over the top immediately after removing it from the oven.

The reason this Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon Pie came about was all down to Tristan (Louise’s Husband). We were having a chat about what we could make this year for the Christmas main. We’d done a beautiful Chestnut, Squash & Mushroom Wreath Pie made with filo pastry last year and stuffed squash twice, once with Chickpeas & Sage and once a whole pumpkin filled with Chilli. All of which are amazing in their own right.
