[[Meat pie]]s with fillings such as steak, cheese, [[steak and kidney pie|steak and kidney]], beef and ale, lamb and mint,  [[minced beef]], or [[chicken as food|chicken]] and [[edible mushroom|mushroom]] are popular in the United Kingdom,<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |title =Pie |encyclopedia=Encyclopædia Britannica |location=Chicago |url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/459681/pie |access-date=12 September 2008}}</ref> Australia, South Africa and New Zealand as take-away snacks. They are also served with [[French fried potatoes|chips]] as an alternative to [[fish and chips]] at British chip shops.

[[Pot pies]] with a flaky crust and bottom are also a popular dish, typically with a filling of meat (particularly beef, chicken, or turkey), gravy, and mixed vegetables (potatoes, carrots, and peas).  Frozen pot pies are often sold in individual serving size.

Fruit pies may be served with a scoop of ice cream, a style known in North America as [[pie a la mode|pie à la mode]]. Many sweet pies are served this way. Apple pie is a traditional choice, though any pie with sweet fillings may be served ''à la mode''. This combination, and possibly the name as well, is thought to have been popularized in the mid-1890s in the United States.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/texas/entry/remember_the_a_la_mode_pie_a_la_mode/ |title="Remember the à la mode!"
