Lisa Van der Spoel was born and raised in South Africa, where savory pies are a staple. Her weekend trips to the grocery store meant a hot pie for lunch, it was a tradition almost, so was getting a pie from the gas station in the early hours of the morning, after a night out with friends.

Fast forward and pies became a made at home item as they are not readily available in Hawaiʻi, but the love for them was always there. After 22 years in the culinary business, my husband planted the idea in my head of selling meat pies, it stuck! And The Tuck Shop was born. We are starting off with some of our childhood favorites, those that comfort and give you the warm fuzzies
