Reviews for The Handpie Company in Albany, PE
When I first heard of the Handpie Company and people?s comments of how good they were I had to try them. I stopped by the ... retail store/factory (absolutely beautiful) and went to pick some up and was shocked at the price, $9.00 a pie, wholly cow!After a bit of contemplation, I bit the bullet and built a box of 10 and saved a $1.00 a pie. I love ?meat pies? and inreflection, I don?t think that the Handpie Co. is any more expensive than the various bake shops, but the huge different is thequality, THESE PIES ARE AMAZING. I?ve now eaten 2 of the 10 pies and if the remaining pies are as good as the first (I?m surethey will be) the price was well with it. The pastry is light and flaky, the pies are stuffed full (most regular bakery meatpies are 1/2 full at best) of the most amazing ingredients and flavours. After trying them, I can tell you our freezer willnever be without a box. Now my only quandary is, which one is my favourite. Thanks, Sarah and team, your products areincredible. Read more
Wow!! How did we not know about The Handpie Company before now?? We placed a large frozen order (60+) handpies and picked them... up before leaving the island. We also got 4 strawberry Rhubarb pies to go and ate them in the car. We were all blown away by thedecadent & fresh flavour, the flaky and tasty pastry and the perfect cook! Staff were very friendly & helpful and we felt likewelcomed customers from the moment we walked in. This place is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! I was so excited to get our order that Itotally forgot to take a photo of the sweet pie! You'll just have to go and see/taste for yourself. Update 8/28/2022: Todaywe tried the All Day Breakfast ???????? and it was AMAZING ???? See added photos . Flaky & tatsy pastry, sausage, scrambledegg, cheese, maple baked beans....

If your headed over the bridge in either direction you?ve got to stop here. Best hand pies in Canada. And friendly faces too!... The PEI Pasty is a work of magic. The sweet pies are great too. And comfy places under the trees to sit and eat, if you want. Wewill be back! Read more
This is now on our must-stop place for PEI. We noticed this place when we arrived on the island and decided to stop in as we... were about to leave and it was around lunch time. So happy we did! What delicious bundles of flavour! We bought a fewflavours plus the potato salad and it was all so good that we ended up buying 14 frozen ones to take home. We popped them inthe air fryer for about 20-25 minutes and they were just as good at home. Read more
Visiting for the week and stopped by when we saw the sign. Who can resist pies. I went in with no idea what they had or style of... pie. The staff was awesome and provided great information. I ended up buy a half dozen different kinds of savoury frozen pies.We cooked them up this evening and they turned out perfectly. The bottom didn?t get soggy, nice and crispy crust. The bluecheese and steak, beet and corn and chickpea Currie were are favs from what we got. But they were all great. Worth the visit forsure! Read more
I?ve sampled Handpies sold direct from the bakery, and frozen. The fresh ones are best, but the frozen ones are available at my... favourite gas and grocery stops, can easily be tossed into the freezer and pulled out for a lazy meal any time. The air fryer isideal for this as I find that 325 for less than 20 minutes is perfect for reheating the pie and making the crust just crisp as Ilike it, top and bottom. The pastry is wonderful, flaky and savoury. When I think I?ll have scraps for the dogs, I have toapologize to them as I?ve cleaned the plate. I love the meat pies, PEI Pasty, BBQ Pulled Pork, Tourtiere, and their breakfasthandpie, but tonight I enjoyed their Braised Beef & Mozzarella that set a new bar for meat pies! I?ve made my own at home andcan?t quite match their quality and taste, but I?m working on it! ;) If you grab a pair for the you and other half when you payfor your gas, one of you is going to smile? maybe more. ;) Read more
The handpies here are DELICIOUS. They are fresh, flavourful, and filling. However they are quite expensive ($8 for frozen/$8.50... for take out) and the location is quite a hike out of Charlottetown. I?d like them to offer them out of the CharlottetownFarmer?s Market and have a deal for buying multiple frozen pies at once. Read more
