Superior Pasties

Eat here. You will not regret it. Locally sourced, homemade, old world, deliciousness. And the guy behind the counter is a gem.

Pasties in Livonia! Say «YA»!
Was in the area for a class and put ‘fast food’ into my GPS, saw Superior Pasties and thought I’d give it a try.
I had the combo for $ 6.?? out the door, or dine-​in as I had it. Had the steak pasty combo with a Vernors, Better Made BBQ chips and side of slaw — I like to think of it as a «Total MI» combo!
The pasty was very tasty and the crust was very good. It was quick and easy and quite a nice lunch stop.
Enjoyed talking to Monty, the owner. He asked why I don’t have pasties too often and my reason was there is not one near where I work (Downtown Detroit) or my home so I never think of getting one.
Way better than a McD lunch!

Most Michiganders can attest to their love for pasties. Every time I make it up north to the U.P. a pasties stop is essential to my mental health. I stopped by this place after my visit lovely visit at Procam Photo & Video Gear across the street. I was famished after my shopping spree; I needed something quick and easy — this place popped up. I walked in and the owners were very pepped and welcoming, it’s the same Yoopers friendly attitude I’ve come across. Very friendly bunch! I ordered the traditional and it was great! I can’t complain. It was comfy food for me and the first bite took me back to my first visit at the U.P.
Keep up the great work!

Stopped in on a whim. We were craving some homemade comfort food, and boy did we find it!
The owner was very welcoming, and we had a great conversation. The pasties reminded me of the u.p.
The dough was perfect, not to thick and not paper thin. The filling was great! We got a couple different kinds with gravy on the side. Super yummy!

Sorry to say I did not enjoy my meal from here.
I grew up eating pasties. I get meat and potatoes type of food isn’t necessarily going to be jam packed with the most exotic or spicy flavors but it shouldn’t be bland and tasteless either.
I had a traditional and it was the blandest thing I have had in ages. I dumped the too dark brown to be real watery gravy over my pasty and it made it look better but it still tasted like almost nothing. I almost dumped the vinegar from my 3 bean salad on it to get some kind of flavor out of it.
The crust was very dry without being crispy. The contents were pretty dry and shrunken away from the outer shell. The whole thing just oozed not being freshly made but rather frozen then thawed.
Sad to do this to a Mom and Pop place but I do not recommend.
Ordered 5 pasties for a group and they were all the same.

Very nice experience here. Its a little place with friendly lady helping and a hands on type owner who will make sure you get everything you need.
The regular pasties in here are quite respectable but the shepherd’s pie varietal is by far the best thing going in here. Better seasoned and moister than your traditional versions, possibly my fave pastie type ever. Pop it into an oven for a half hour, then flip it open and add a bit of fresh ground pepper and you are good to go. Add a side salad and you have a super quick full meal.
Good for a cooler summer night, I can see this becoming a fall go to dinner. Side of gravy was appreciated with the traditionals, the shepherd’s pie did not need it a bit though. I was the only one who went outside the box a bit and once the doubters tried my pastie they wanted to swipe it.
You will find Ashby Sterling ice cream here which is not as handy if you are buying your stuff to go. They also carry some homemade type baked goods that are better for that situation. The lemon poppy-​seed mini loaf I sampled was tasty and the husband seemed to enjoy peanut butter and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Huge too.
We will return soon, some people are whining about my hogging the good stuff… Try it if you are at all into meat pies. My Fox half off has a deal going for 20 bucks worth of pasties for 10 bucks. Yum and bargain to boot.

Very good pasties. The best place to get pasties is in the UP (Upper Peninsula) but this is close. They have several different kinds but get the traditional. The Traditional is beef, potato, carrots, and rutabaga. It is the only way to get a pastie. A lot of places in the UP only serve one kind.

I saw the sign for Superior Pasties last November as I was looking for my car rental place to arrange to keep it another week, so of course I had to stop in. Thank goodness my motel had a nice little frig so I could put stuff like this in it. I stopped here twice and got a good pasty each time. The first time I also got a huge and delicious rice krispie treat. So good I wanted to get it again but they didn’t have any on my second trip. I think I would be in here frequently if I lived in town. Hey – you guys want to open up a shop in San Diego? I miss my pasties! For those who don’t know, a pasty is a meat and vegetable (including rutabagas!) pie, popular in Canada and Michigan. Mmmm. I bet most of you Californians don’t even know what a rutabaga is! Your loss.
