Respondents were asked to rank pie brands based on taste, texture and consistency, value for money, variety and range, and packaging.
The most satisfying brand of pie was I Love Pies, which got a full five stars from Canstar Blue. It was followed by Couplands, Dad's Pies, Maketu Pies and Ponsonby Pies, which each picked up four stars, and Big Ben, Irvines, Pams and Westie, on three stars.
The survey involved 1360 people who had bought and eaten a savoury pie in the past three months.
