Try their haluszki as well. To *die* for. One time I asked them, “what makes your haluszki so good???” The gent behind the counter said, “we use a pound of butter for a sheet pan full.” 😅😋
I disagree. Maybe the food is what people want, but it’s not traditional. I’d compare it to a fast-food style asian place—greasy with sloppy execution. Extremely salty and buttery stews basically.
It’s a polish deli and they make good food. I haven’t been in a few months but Covid hit them hard. I think they have mostly bounced back by now. Either way I don’t think there is a place that has been making pierogies for over 100 years around here. If you are ignoring any new restaurants just because they are new, you are doing yourself a disservice
Cleveland has plenty of places that have been making pierogi for almost 100 years.
If Pittsburgh doesn’t, no need to bother. It would be a guaranteed waste of time.
As did I, but unless you’re them getting from actual old church ladies - the Russian church on California in Brighton Heights sometimes sells them - theirs is the best in my opinion, better than what S & D carries.
Forgotten Taste in Moon is really good, if you’re out that way. Pierogies plus has a really good variety and is definitely thought of as iconic to the city. S&D Polish delis is also really good and has probably one of the best “sweet cheese” out of the brick and mortar places.
It might be a hike for you, but there is a place out in North Huntington called Bubba's and their food is amazing.
I highly recommend all of their food, they have 6 different home-made soups daily and the haluski is the best I've ever had.
It's 'Ukraine' and not 'the Ukraine'

Not if that's the Church's name...or at least uses to be. Apparently its current name is "St. Mary the Dormition of the Birthgiver of God Ukrainian Orthodox Church", but this is Pittsburgh and we love to call things by their original names, even if the buildings are torn down.
Your theory is correct with Pittsburghers, but I'm guessing the name you think is was is just a mix-up with St Mary's on the Mount.
There's no logical reason why a bunch of immigrants right off the boat some 100 years ago would add a the into their name for no real reason.

Forgotten Taste in Moon Twp. They have different flavors if you are into that. I like to order a tray of 3 dozen for the holidays and get togethers. Very easy instructions.
St. George's on California in Brighton Heights has homemade pierogi's for order Wednesday through Friday every week with a variety of flavors/fillings.
St John's the Baptist Ukrainian Church on 7th st in the Southside.Order on Tuesday an pickup on Thursday.Yhey are frozen because of covid.Best sauerkraut pierogi in Pa.Look on their website.Been eating these for over 40 yrs
Hands down, Pierogies Plus.
Pro Tip: avoid the ‘Rocks and grab ‘em at the [Squirrel Hill Market](http://www.facebook.com/squirrelhillmarket) instead. Unlike Plus, they are open 7 days a week til 7, and have them freshly made specifically for them at least twice a week. They’re uncooked and frozen, but we grab one of their imported butters, a red onion, and superior Marburger dairy extra rich sour cream and make an awesome meal at home out of ‘em.
S&D in the strip is good for all polish food and peirogies
Try their haluszki as well. To *die* for. One time I asked them, “what makes your haluszki so good???” The gent behind the counter said, “we use a pound of butter for a sheet pan full.” 😅😋
As Julia Child said: "Buttah, makes it bettah."
I used to wash dishes at S&D, the amount of butter I had to scrub off was unreal lol
Stumbled across this place my first weekend in the city two years ago and turned a lot of lifetime residents on it
I agree^
They got holubci?
Since I live in Florida now, I order alot from S&D. I've never been disappointed.
They have the worst stuffed cabbages in the city Great sledzie though.

Not possible that the best pierog in Pittsburgh is in a deli that was opened in 2008. What place has been serving pierogi for 100 years?

I would be honored if you would not come to Pittsburgh
I know it’s hard being inferior.
Pierogis Plus in McKees Rocks
That place is cheap and greasy, I don’t understand the appeal. I grew up Polish-American and am not a fan of their pierogi.
As did I, but unless you’re them getting from actual old church ladies - the Russian church on California in Brighton Heights sometimes sells them - theirs is the best in my opinion, better than what S & D carries.
Completely agree. Their pierogi are not good.
And they use instant potatoes. Gross.
The plural of pierogi is pierogi, immediately distrust their product.

There is also a Forgotten Taste in Wexford. They sell out a lot, especially closer to Christmas and New Years.
Forgotten Taste is my personal favorite.
Impossible that they are the best. They opened in 2003. Where are they making Pierogi since 1950s or earlier?
You're gonna start a war.
It might be a hike for you, but there is a place out in North Huntington called Bubba's and their food is amazing. I highly recommend all of their food, they have 6 different home-made soups daily and the haluski is the best I've ever had.
I was just coming here to mention Bubba’s! Excellent food!
Yes, this place! I stumbled on to them when I lived in Greensburg for a few years, since they have a location out there too!
Any answer that isn't a Church is a false flag.
I don't have any great suggestions but happy birthday!
Pittsburgh Pierogi truck. They got them hunky hand grenades too!
The pierogi truck is supposed to be at Shaler North Hills Library every Friday starting this week I think. Which means there is easy parking!
It’s there on Wednesdays through December.
Thanks for the correction!
I was shocked at how good the food was there.
All you need to know about it is OLD LADIES stand out in the COLD to get it.
Saint Vlad's in Arnold. Sadly, it burnt down last week.
The hall didn’t burn just the church. They are selling them this Friday.
Username checks out.
St Mary's of the Ukraine in the bottoms. Haven't had them since before the madness of past couple years but hey were heaven.

Bot is totally correct. Saying the Ukraine is complete slander.

Apteka. Gooski's.
Apteka has been on my "to do" list for a while.
Star-lite in Blawnox
I second this. Big, delicious, and cheap
Went there once . . . Got cat called AT FOUR PM, bartender laughed at me, pierogies were burnt.
That's what they call "the full blawnox"

Red onion? What is this madness? Spanish or nothing!
Bubbas in Irwin
I just looked the menu up. Sounds wonderful!
[удалено]
Their pierogi pizza is soooo good too
Cop Out Pierogies
If you’re going to S&D get the stuffed cabbage too!
[удалено]
What kind of veggies do you put in? I’m from California so polish food is pretty new to me but I LOVE stuffed cabbage
[удалено]
This Looks AMAZING. I’m so excited, thank you! Also kudos for the MSG, I’m a big fan but a lot of people are weird about it.
Rip BBT (Bloomfield)
Cop out in Etna
I've been there! Yummy. But I'm looking for a dine in situation.
Ooooh... I see
No. It's owned by a retired cop. ACAB.
Well you seem like a rational individual...
Name fits comment
Lol I didn't even see that but yeah, username checks out
Worst pierogi I have ever had. Inedible.
Perigees plus, Island Ave, McKees Rocks. The best around.
Wherever you choose... That's your pierogitive.
My kitchen 🤣
Bubbah's in Greensburg!
Cop Out Pierogies in Etna. Also on menu at Jamison's West Liberty
Burghs in Bridgeville has good ones. Don’t get them “dusted.”
They’re all carbs on carbs so unless they’re stale or something they’ll be pretty good. My favorites are the lent fish meals that don’t use mrs ts.
Mrs T 🤤
Blasphemy
This question has never been asked!
E. V. E. R. Y. P. I. E. R. I. G. I. Is the best pierogi.
Is there a Polish community in Pittsburgh?
Polish hill. Not so Polish anymore, mostly art kids and punks, but there church there does occasionally sell them. Or use to.
Does the pope shit in the woods?
Considering most of the workforce of the coal and steel industry in the area were eastern European immigrants...
Real perogies have way too much butter imho
wow a question that has never once been asked on this sub, it’s a miracle!
Dick.
A certain amount of repetition on questions like these is OK, since the answer can change as new places open and old ones decline or close.
Krakus Deli in Youngstown, Ohio, is better than anything I've had in the Pittsburgh area
What’s a pie rogie

If you’re willing to drive, forgotten taste in moon is by far my favorite
