Loved Gruyere, Leek & Potato pie. Subtle yet tasty. Definitely will order it again.
Awesome! Thanks Julie :)

Delicious
Cream of leek soup meets scalloped potatoes all in a delicious flakey pie crust. The potatoes were still slightly firm adding a wonderful texture. Once again you have delivered a winner.
Yay! Thanks so much Carol :)
Miranda said:
Great flavour!
I tried the potato leek and Gruyere cheese pie for the first time. The flavors were fantastic, although the potatoes were quite under done, which made it not quite up to the usual standard. Hopefully this was just a case with this batch. Overall, I love all the pies I’ve tried.
Thanks for the feedback, Miranda. Glad you liked the flavours all the same :)

Favorite Pie
The potato and Gruyer cheese and Leek pie is my favourite! If the potatoes were cooked a bit more it would be even better. This pie is delicious.
Thanks so much for the review Karen :)

Thanks Bev :)

Gruyère Leek and Potatoe
Great! Thanks for the review Brad :)
Dale said:
Gruyere leek potato pie
We LOVE this pie! Had it many times and it’s always delicious. Sometimes the potatoes are a bit undercooked, kind of a bit crunchy. Still delicious. Should be cooked a tiny bit more.
Thanks for the feedback, Dale! Will pass along to the cook. Glad you like the flavour :)

Comfort food for vegetarians
I enjoyed this pie and i'm not a vegetarian. I can see how this would be something like the equivalent of the chicken pot pie for vegetarians though-comfort food with the potatoes. It was a filling pie with some salad. My favorite vegetarian pie is still the moroccan chickpea pie though!
Hey. Can't blame a GLP for trying, right? Moroccan Chickpea is a tough competitor. Thanks for the review, Christina :)

Creamy & Delicious
My wife and I tried this pie roughly two years ago, found the crust to be dry and filling super-heavy. We're big believers in trying everything twice, so we went for round two to celebrate Pi Day this year.
This go was a pleasant surprise. Flavours were well balanced, and as the title says, we found it to be creamy and delicious.
The only bummer was that the pie tin was not sufficiently buttered, or there was a hole in the bottom of the pie shell, which caused some of the filling to ooze out and the bottom of the pie to stick to the pan. Unfortunately, this made it impossible not to mangle half the pie getting it out of the tin.
Would totally order again, and probably wouldn't wait two years to do it this time.
Glad the it was better the second time, Erik. Thanks for the review :)

Gruyere, Leek & Potato Pie
What a unique blend of ingredients that all come together so well to make a flavorful pie! I would continue getting this.
Thanks Tracy! Glad you liked it :)
TJ Tambogon said:
Different and tasty!
The sliced potatoes were fun to eat. The crust was the bomb, especially when you get to the bottom and it's all moist with gruyere goodness :))
Pie enjoyment from top to bottom! Thanks TJ :)
NL said:
Holy pie!
That Gruyere, Leek & Potato Pie was insanely good. Have it with a side salad and it's a perfect lunch or dinner!
Excellent! Glad to hear it, NL :)
Jenna said:
Amazing
I have been addicted to the Pie Hole's dessert pies, and this is the first savoury pie I've tried. You literally can't go wrong with any of their pies!
...and there is lots more where that came from, Jenna! Thanks for the review.
Robin Shipway said:
YUM!!
The pie crust is amazing and the Pecan Pie was THE best pecan pie we have ever tried! The Potatos in the Potato Gruyere Pie would benefit from blanching prior to assembly. We picked it up fully baked and then reheated it for 50 minutes in a 325 oven and they were still quite al dente
Firm taters?! Yeah, that's a no-no. Gonna talk to our cooks about that one! Glad you liked the Butter Pecan though! Thanks for the feedback Robin :)
Gabriela O. said:
Delicious pie!
I was worried the gruyere might be too strong but the balance was just right. My kids and meatatarian husband also all liked this pie, and THAT is an even harder balance to achieve! Bravo!
Yes! Finding a meal the entire table can enjoy is a real gem! Thanks Gabriela :)
Else Larsen said:
Potato leek pie
Really enjoyed, could have had a little more Gruyere cheese
Thanks Else :)

Gruyere, Leek & Potato Pie
I'm slowly making my way through the Pie Hole's savoury pies after having cut a swath through the sweet ones. Oh who am I kidding? Not very slowly...Love this one; the combination of potatoes, gruyere and leeks is heavenly.
lol I imagine you sitting at the dinner table, eating a salad with three different forks...then locking the restroom door so you can sit in the bath tub and eat a GLP with your bare hands. And that, Valerie, is why you are the best :) Thanks for the review.
Vanessa said:
Creamy goodness
I didn’t know what to expect from this pie but from the first few bites, it has become one of my favourites. The cream sauce combines with the leeks and potatoes just made this pie delicious. 5 chef kisses.
Gotta love those pleasant food surprises! I promise to walk through the bakery distributing your chef kisses in a dramatic fashion ;) Much appreciated, Vanessa.

Gimme, Gimme GLP
GLP (gruyere, leek, potato), of all the savoury pies I’d had from TPH-Burnaby, is my favourite. I’m giving the hand pies a go Mathis order, and hope they stand up to the delightfully mild flavour I enjoy with the 5” and 9” pies.
uh oh, someone found their favourite! Now remember, Charmaigne, we can only make so many at a time ;) Appreciate the review.
Emma Gray said:
Good crust, filling meh
The crust from Pie Hole, never disappoints, and this is no exception! Filling is ok - preferred this pie served cold. Fave vegetarian pie is definitely the mac n cheese from Pie Hole!
Thanks for the feedback, Emma :)
Graeme Fell said:
Good but
Saw this as a comfort food pie..something for a cold rainy day; which it was. Great crust, soft and tasty, the filling was plentiful and moist but I needed more flavour to feel truly satisfied.
Glad you liked it, Graeme. Perhaps a tweak is in order hmm ;) Thanks for the review.

Delish
Excellent! Great for breakfast.
Pie for breakfast?!...darn right!! Smash that mold like a cream pie in the face! Thanks Holly :)
Stacy Wang said:
My Irish hubby loves it
My hubby is Irish and loves potato, he loves this pie and doesn’t mind that it is vegetarian :-D The 9 inch pie has plenty of cheese but the hand pies didn’t (don’t know if it was just that batch that didn’t). Please add more cheese to the hand pies :-)
Hey Stacy. Glad your husband liked the GLP. Sorry for the cheese skimping on the hand pies! Your comment is noted for the next batch. Appreciate the feedback!
Barbara Phillips said:
Very satisfying!
I served the chicken pot mini pie and the potato gruyere leek pie for a luncheon and it went over very well. I ate the gruyere pie and was very full with only half a pie. All guests only ate half pies so they go a long way. Very tasty.
Thanks Barbara! Glad everyone got their fill :)

Slowly Resuming Traditions
My 3 friends were delighted when I surprised them with the Moroccan Chickpea pie last night. It has become a birthday tradition for our group and we’ve just started to resume our birthday gatherings (with Physical distancing) after many months. As usual it was delicious and the convenience of getting together and not having to cook makes it more fun for this band of seniors. Thanks very much
So glad you guys are able to resume the tradition, Laurel! Happy birthday to your friend and thank you for the review :)

Great Pies from a Generous thoughtful company
I was introduced to The Pie Hole by way of an email that was sent to the care facility I work at. Jenelle was offering free pies to our residents to brighten up their days during these dark COVID19 times! I have to let you all know that both myself and my supervisor wept with gratitude from Jenelle's sweet and kind offer. In return I ordered a cherry pie and some leek and potato hand pies and wow was I blown away from the taste and quality of your products. Firstly, I recognized every ingredient listed on the box and in fact I had them already in my own kitchen; that was reassuring. Secondly the taste was fantastic the spices in the cherry pie was just right and size of the hand pie was satisfying for a meal. I thank you all for your great social conscious for remembering our Elders and how tough they have it right now. and of course for great pies!
Best Wishes
Susan Harvey
Director of Care.
My heart is warmed, Susan, no two ways about it :) The 'Bake a Difference' initiative has been truly rewarding and I am both grateful and humbled by your kind words. Thank you so much for the support, the review, and for letting us send some pie love your way. Best wishes back at ya ;)

Amazing
I had this pie a while back and fell in love with it. Great balance between flavours and I am so excited to have my hand pies at home. Can't wait to enjoy them!
Ah yes, the 'rainy day' pie strategy. A wise choice Rashna ;) Thanks for the comment.
Catherine said:
Favourite veggie pie
This is my favourite savoury pie! Buttery, delicious crust combined with a creamy sauce. This one isn't always on the weekly menu - but when it is I snap it up!
Yes! The GLP is a real sleeper! So glad you know to grab it when it's around ;) Thanks Catherine.

Excellent lazy dinner
Loved our hand pies. Tossed them in the oven whole we were all busy and by the time we were done dinner was ready. Tasty real food that satisfies.
No doubt! Savoury pies = a break from cooking + a delicious dinner. How can anyone argue with that? Thanks Megan ;)

I LOVE YOUR PIES!
My most favourite is the Blueberry Goat cheese and Basil Pie! I only bring pies from your store now for parties and family gatherings. I also love what you guys are doing for the community. I support you guys 100% and I’m sorry to see Fraser store close ;(
Thank you!!!
Connie :)
...and suddenly, Connie started getting invites to ALL the parties in town. Thanks so much for your support. You'll just have to start coming to the Kits store now ;)

Amazing pi day pies
The gruyere potato leek was amazing and so were the fruit pies we had for dessert. I pre-ordered our pies which was good because pickup was very busy. People picking up and people buying in store were in the same long line up. Separating the two lines would have cut down the wait times and crowding.
Thanks for the review, Oliver. So glad you liked the pies! On Pi Day, we typically do not formally separate a pick-up only line as the majority of people want to snag a discount 4' pie as well. As the day grows in popularity, we will consider it though. Thanks again :)
