Pierogies Plus

Another one of the Pittsburgh areas hidden gems. Pierogis Plus has cornered the market with their amazing traditional dishes from Poland and Central Europe, I’ve discovered lots of local restaurants carry them and serve them like Pirogies Plus or their own style.
Delicious pillow shaped pirogies are sold by the half dozen or dozen either hot or cold. Cold, are chilled but not frozen packaged to take home. Hot are swimming in butter steaming hot turns into instant comfort food.
Traditionally filled with potato, sauerkraut, cheese and minced meat, they also have hot sausage, jalapeño potato and bacon or great combos you can custom order like sauerkraut with kielbasa.
Other great dishes like stuffed cabbage, haluski noodles and lots of other items not on the menu is the result of a bunch of mothers and grandmothers are confined to a kitchen and creating great food.

Out and about at lunch… decided to stop and grab something to eat. There was a nice selection of hot and ready pierogis to choose from which was nice and there were a few available behind the counter «cold». Most of the specialty type pierogies require special orders (potato and meat etc.)
I had a meatball sandwich for $ 5.50 and it was tasty. It was the size of a half meatball hoagie. The woman that waited on me said that the meatballs were homemade. Of course I had to get some delicious Pierogies. «Potato and Cheese (submerged in butter and onions). I took them back to the office and shared.

We went way out of our way on a long road trip to stop here, and it was worth it. It’s just one of those funky little neighborhood spots that does a great job at its specialty. Ordering was a little awkward but we got through it. We didn’t mind sitting in the crappy little outdoor seating area – it was better than getting back in the car.

Decent pierogies but not the best I’ve had. I’ve eaten @ Pierogies Plus two times. Both times I got the potato & cheese pierogies. They are good however they come in WAY too much butter/​oil. They are probably soaked in at least a half a cup or more of butter/​oil. When I get them I have to take them out of all the butter/​oil b/​c it would make me completely sick if I ate them as is. Other than that the pierogies themselves are decent.
However, they are pretty pricey. About $ 12 for 1 dozen.
Recommend eating here if you’re passing through or nearby but I wouldn’t go out of my way.

I was very disappointed in the quality of the pierogies and the haluski at Pierogies Plus. I ordered them hot and I purchased enough so that I could have leftovers the next day. When I got home and opened the containers, something smelled odd. When I started to eat, it tasted just as odd. As it turns out, what is referred to as ‘butter sauce’ is a misrepresentation of what it really is — –margarine, which I eliminated from my diet years ago because of the trans fats and the fact that any way you cut it, butter makes for a better product. Sorry Allison B, ain’t no butter here. Margarine is used as a cost-​cutting measure, and it just can’t measure up. I rinsed off the peirogies and browned them in some butter and my own onions. The haluski got thrown away. For the prices being charged for these products, the proprietor can well-​afford to use butter.

Great food! I have been eating at Pierogies Plus since they opened. Great food all around! The Halupki and Halushki are awesome as well as the Pierogies.

The experience was not that great. The lady taking the orders was nice, but not helpful with what to order. The owner kept her back turn to us the entire time, based on the pictures and news articles I read about her I thought she would have been more social. To what really matters we got #2 sampler and order of jalapeño pierogies and the Ruben pierogies a lot of food for two guys. Really had no idea what to expect. Haluski was good, the pierogies came Luke warm and soaked in oily butter. Like the cab driver said you can find better. I’d pass on this spot.

Good pierogies, but after also having Szmidts in Greenfield recently, this place takes the backseat. Its also out of the way for me. However, if I ever happen to be in McKees Rocks, Ill make sure to keep this spot in mind.

This place was really good. Ordered the sampler plate with one small haluski, one stuffed cabbage, four pierogies. I have to admit the haluski was EPIC!!! OMG THE BEST I WAS LIKE WHAT AM I EATING! SOOOO FREAKIN GOOD! The pierogies and the stuffed cabbage wasn’t as amazing, but it was tasty. The crab cake was nasty. Yuck!!!

Best pierogies I’ve ever had. And, seeing as how I’m from Pittsburgh… that’s a lot. The apricot and cream cheese pierogies are amazing!!! GO.

Yummy! I’ve never tried Polish food aside from a sausage. I have to say it was really good. The ladies that worked there were very nice. The only down side it took a while to get my food. I think it’s made to order. Regardless, when I received my food it was streaming hot. Let’s just say for me it was worth the wait.

Have been getting pierogies from pierogies plus for over a year now. They are authentic and delicious. You can tell these pierogi makers are well trained! I have always purchased the standard potato, potato and cheese or potato and sauerkraut. They are all amazing! If I could remember to call ahead, I would love to try their specialties.
It does get crowed so plan ahead and order ahead before holidays.

This little former gas station makes some incredibly delicious pierogies. Order ahead for big holidays — we order several dozen every year for Easter and the take out line stretches out the door all day on Good Friday. I particularly like the apricot and cream cheese and the prune varieties. Potato and cheddar are great, too, of course!

This place has some amazing homemade pierogies! I had never eaten anything besides the usual Mrs. T.‘s potato types and boy, was I missing out! We stopped one night and got a some potato/​cheddar and some sauerkraut/​potato. You can buy them hot or take them home cold. There is a small table outside to eat, but only standing room to order inside.
They had special order pierogies that sounded amazing, but they suggest a 2 day advance order for those. They said sometimes they will have leftover specialty ones for sale, but it all depends on the day.
They also have haluski, stuffed cabbage and other things that I am looking forward to trying next time.

Apricot with cream cheese, who would have thought… love this place, love it so much. Print the 10% off coupon on their website before going in. Make sure u print it out, they will not accept it other wise.

Best pierogies in tahn!
I usually just go with the standard potato and cheese but I’ve also tried a few of the other pierogies and some of the plus. These pierogies can’t be beat. Made by hand with love in the traditional old world style, I have yet to find better.
It’s amazing to get there at 10:55am, 5 minutes before they open and see the mad rush of people getting pierogies. By 11am, the line is already out the door. Always a good sign. They serve their pierogies hot, cold or frozen. I always go with the hot because nothing beats pierogies bathing in butter and onions. And here at Pierogies Plus, they are definitely worth the wait.

Some great pierogies are expertly handmade with «tender loving care,» here in this once-​was-​a-​gas-​station. Quality, I tell you. They’re definitely worthy of a pierogi pilgrimage.
Order them hot if you want them right then and there because these nice ladies also sell them cold to take home too.
Hot and buttery, buttery, buttery, and covered in sauteed onions is how you’ll get them. So good. We shared the potato and cheese, potato and sauerkraut, and hot sausage varieties. Delicious, them all.

Update: Get. The. Italian. Sausage. Pierogies. Holy crap. It will change your freaking life!

Little ladies, sitting in the back of a renovated gas station perched precariously at the top of a hill, making pierogies and cooking them to perfection in butter and onions… it almost sounds like a strange Pittsburgher fairy tale, but this is no tale — the finest pierogies I’ve ever eaten emerge from the back of that gas station, and my Polish girlfriend even confirmed that these are better than some of her family’s goods.
While in line I met folks from Rhode Island, Kentucky, and North Carolina, who all had come to McKees Rocks in their rental cars straight from the airport before even going to see their families — that is dedication and commitment to some seriously delicious pierogies. After enjoying a dozen of these filling, savory, perfect pierogies, I think once I move away from here I will be making that same trip to Pierogies Plus myself.
