 “The production process is very interesting” notes Nicholas Kuhne, Marketing Manager for King Pie. “This is a wonderful opportunity to reward our most loyal supporters a little peak behind the scenes, something that is generally not accessible to the public”. Winners will collected and transferred to the King Pie factory in Midrand Johannesburg, where they will take an exclusive tour behind the scenes of how King Pie uses the perfect ingredients to make the perfect pie. Lunch at a leading Johannesburg franchise will then be served to complete the King Pie experience.

The King Pie process is one of standard, integrity and best practice.  84 Layers of the finest puff pastry allow for a flawless crust.  The use of ‘A-grade’ meat fillings and top quality fruit and vegetables allow for the perfect nutritious and flavoursome filling.  Spices and ingredients are’ Green Label’ which indicates organic quality to the delicious flavours without any chemical additives, and perhaps notable is that all pies are baked fresh in store to allow for the ideal meal and customer experience.

The infrastructure around the making of the perfect King Pie is one taken seriously by the leading brand, with a modern factory adhering to quality standards and testing, and all Franchises being meticulously trained and monitored monthly to ensure the experience never fails.

King Pie is a well-known South African household brand and opened its first franchise outlet in December 1993.
