Move over mince and cheese: a vegan pie has hit service station Z's stores, where it will be in pie warmers for the next month.

Following a July competition where punters got to come up with their own vegan pie recipes, the Mexican-style pie will be in select stores across the country from Monday.

The pie was picked from 4000 other recipes to be crowned Z's ultimate vegan pie, consisting of spicy tomato, sweetcorn and onion.

LAWRENCE SMITH/FAIRFAX NZ Z Energy's new Mexican-style vegan pie features spicy tomato, corn and onion.

Judges selected the recipe from a top five contenders, ultimately picking Aucklander Gemma's recipe because the spicy flavours would appeal to a wider market.

It received the thumbs up in our unscientific test of people out and about in Ponsonby, the majority saying they'd choose the spicy treat over Kiwi favourite mince and cheese any day.

The pie will be in select stores until January 28.
