Brings back some memories.... worked for Greenlane branch for about 2 years then moved to Hunters Plaza - left about 8 months before McDs shut it down.
@xpdnz oh dude i used to go to the hunters plaza branch every week after we were done grocery shopping right next door. Went almost every week until it was bought by McD, and i remember being sad on the that the McD sign went up lol
Georgie Pie was absolute shit. Dry powdered cheese. You've all forgotten how really truly bad they were. Go try a Big Ben pie and see how disgusting they are for a reminder.
Awesome video! Georgie Pie = Everything this dude said in the beginning of the documentary. YEAH Kelston Boys at 17:17. We were loyal patrons. Off topic....do any of you guys remember the drink ZAP?
Beautiful. I remember finishing primary school and travelling to the closest shop at Highland Park at least 3 times a week to indulge in the best pies I've ever tasted. Watching this had those family feelings flooding back, bringing back tears to the eyes. Love it!
Excellent, I remember the Georgie Pie in Dunedin North filled me when I was a starving scarfie at Otago at 95 and 96, two $1 pies a large fries would fill me for a day then.
Wow, I almost cried from the emotions of bringing back the George! haha! Shot Gareth and his crew! Wish u did the one day exercise in Auckland! But crackup that I used to work with Brian Popham at Air NZ! Now I will email him for the pie recipie!
Very sad this disappeared from the NZ retail food scene. I would love to see it revived so I could take my grand children to experience it. The Fish pie was one of my favourites. Cmon McDonalds bring it back or allow someone else too! :-)
According to the NZ Herald, McDonalds are now threatening legal action against this talented film maker because it shows an ugly truth about McDonald's intentions shut down Georgie Pie permanently.

I'm from the states, and we have never heard of Georgie pies here..Basically, what is inside..We don't use the term mince here, unless you're talking about mince meat pie, which is more of a fruit pie, with raisins, and other weird stuff in it, and is served room temp., or cold..Not very popular, but not too bad..Haven't seen it in years..I'm assuming mince is simply chopped beef, what we call chop(ped) meat, or simply ground beef. (Hamburger meat.) It sounds like Cheeseburger in a pie. Correct?
@cheezer57 Thats because it was a New Zealand only Franchise and yeah ground beef wioth gravy basically with cheese served in a short pastry casing and served hot
@cheezer57 Hi there, cheers for the comment, yeah you're right on it, hot ground hamburger beef with melted cheese in-cased in a hot crispy pastry.. sometimes they create different flavours with the mince, eg. curry mince, peppered steak, steak & cheese, thai chicken, butter chicken, bacon & egg, mince cheese and bacon.. yum. Getting hungry now
