Garlo’s Aussie Pie Shop (1010 Glendon Ave., Westwood, CA; 310.208.7773) will open its first American location in Westwood Village on September 15. Renowned executive pie chef Nathan Garlick and his famed brother and former Australian rugby league star Sean Garlick will offer a true taste of Australia with a variety of handheld savory and sweet pies baked fresh daily.

Garlo’s started as a small bakery in Maroubra, an inner suburb of Sydney, in 2001 and quickly became a hot with its unique, high-quality pies. Voted the best pie in Sydney by locals, Garlo’s quickly became available in supermarkets, hotels and cafes. With more than 25,000 Garlo’s pies sold every day in Australia, the family-run business has ventured to America to spread the Garlick tradition.
Menu items include Aussie favorites like Lean Beef, Chicken and Vegetable, Steak, Vegetarian and select breakfast pies and pastries such as Bacon and Egg as well as Mushroom, Spinach and Cheese. Garlo’s will also serve a variety of mini snack pies with American twists like the Mac and Cheese and the Sausage Roll.
Garlo’s Aussie Pie Shop has an energetic vibe inspired by the colors, sights and sounds of Australia, and features photos of the Garlick family lining the walls. With an open kitchen, you can watch Chef Nathan and his team baking fresh pies on the spot.
