If you’ve ever found yourself craving Nigerian meat pies and wondering where you can actually get them around you, you are not casually browsing.

You’re hungry for something familiar. And you want it now, or at least very soon.

The problem is that finding Nigerian meat pies in Canada isn’t as straightforward as it sounds.

Some bakeries sell out quickly.

Some stores stock frozen pies that don’t taste quite right.

And some options only exist if you know someone who knows someone.

This guide exists to remove that friction.

It breaks down where Nigerians in Canada actually buy good meat pies, what to expect from each option, and how to choose the one that makes the most sense for you, especially if you live in or around Ottawa.

What Most People Want  And Why It’s Hard to Find

When Nigerians or anyone familiar with Nigerian pastries look for meat pies in Canada, they’re usually after three things:

• Something authentic
• Something convenient
• Something reliable

When the craving shows up, people already know what they want, something that tastes right, and something they can actually get without stress.

The real question is simple – Where can I get real Nigerian meat pies right now?

Option 1: Buying from African stores & local bakers

In some cities, especially larger ones, African grocery stores may stock meat pies or partner with small local bakers.

The upside

• Immediate availability if you’re lucky

• No waiting for delivery

The downside

• Inconsistent stock

• Quality varies widely

You often don’t know how long the pies have been baked or frozen. For many people, this works occasionally but not reliably.

Option 2: Cafés & food vendors, amazing when you’re lucky

Some cafés and food vendors sell Nigerian pastries fresh. If you catch them on the right day, it’s amazing.

But realistically:

• They sell out fast.

• They are location-specific.

• You can’t stock your freezer.

• Availability depends on their baking schedule

This is great for a quick fix, not for regular access.

Option 3: The option most people eventually settle on, and why it works

This is where things get much easier. Instead of chasing availability, more Nigerians in Canada are choosing ready-to-bake Nigerian meat pies they can keep in their freezer and bake whenever they want.

This option checks all the boxes:

• Authentic taste

• Consistent quality

• Convenience 

• No last-minute searching

This is exactly why Gee’s Pastries exists.
