Pierogi Factory

This place is just awesome! I came here today to celebrate my birthday and didn’t leave disappointed, for here I found the authentic Slavic cuisine I grew up with.
My husband and I both ordered borscht, followed by a combination platter consisting of a golabki, three potato-​and-​sauerkraut pierogi, and two potato pancakes. The finale was blintzes for dessert.
This has been the best place so far in the Russian Northeast for Slavic cuisine. So authentic that my Slovak grandmom would have given it a thumbs up!

Pierogi Factory is my new favorite restaurant! The employees are super friendly and treat customers like family. The food was excellent! We ate various kinds of pierogis, as well as potato pancakes, stuffed cabbage, gulasz, borscht, and pickle soup. Everything was served hot, fresh, and delicious! Highly recommend this restaurant. I can’t wait to come back to try the Nutella pierogi!

The best pierogis I tried. Very nice atmosphere and fast service. Owners are very friendly and will treat you like a family. My favorite is potato and bacon, cheesesteak pierogis. I always have a home made beat soup. A lot of specials, now they deliver seven days a week which is a big plus with the cold weather on the way.

Very nice place to eat. The staff is very friendly and authentic. The perogies are excellent. I like the Buffalo chicken perogies. Dine in or take out, I would recommend this comfortable family restaurant.

Czerw’s in Port Richmond blows them away. I have been to a bunch of pierogies places but Czerw’s is the best!

Stellar Find.
We came across this place on Unilocal as I’ve lately had quite a craving for Eastern European food, and this place had great reviews– and I can see why.
We arrived an hour before closing, and they were super busy– it’s a little bit confusing upon entry, because there’s no distinction between those who are dining in, and those who are sitting while they wait for a takeaway order. The whole restaurant has a mom-​and-​pop feel; according the owner, it’s only been around for 1.5 years, and it’s clear that it’s gaining in popularity. From the way the staff interacts with guests, it feels as though the restaurant has a steady stream of regulars, and newcomers are welcomed with open arms. The walls are beautifully decorated with posters and art depicting traditional Polish dancers– it’s super cozy.
We were prompted for a place to sit, assuming that we’d come to order out, and it was a few minutes before they realised we were waiting for someone to take our order for dine in. It wasn’t a problem at all, however, the staff were so genuinely friendly, and even offered to pay for our drinks for waiting!
We ordered the smoked sausage, two cabbage rolls, and two orders of pirogies: chicken & mozzarella (the special for the day), and spinach & ricotta. They were the ultimate comfort food; the pierogies were delectably fried, with a generous savoury filling. The cheese burst from the seems, and it tastes like my theoretical Polish grandmother’s comfort food.
We just couldn’t stop eating! By the time we walked out, I felt like I needed a cane just to get to the car! This is a top restaurant on our list, and we will definitely be going back. In fact, the next time we came back, the owner recognised us and immediately came over! Friendly atmosphere, great food.

Really delicious! Cheesesteak and spinach were my favorites! The owner was really nice and came and talked with us. Potato pancakes also delicious! I had the beet broth and enjoyed that as well but probably not something for everyone.

While I’m not exactly an expert in Polish food, I have had some experience over the years and this place sure seems authentic to me. Most everything is made in house, and the pierogi’s are made to order. There are a zillion options (maybe too many!) and customizations you can make to your order and combos, so allow 15 – 20 minutes or call ahead. I just wish the yummy food photos on the walls were labeled, or related to the menu in a more direct way.
Oddly enough, many locals still are unfamiliar with the word, «pierogi» and have yet to discover this treasure.

THE BEST KELBASI EVER!!! Loved the pierogies. Amazing place. The hospitality was like being home. Thank you Adam, Pauline, et el. I will be back again and again!!!

My husband and a friend discovered this place last summer and just love it. The woman who owns it and works there with her family and some other employees is so extremely nice and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is happy with their dining experience. We went once a week in the summer after all swimming together, and it was just delightful to come here afterwards. No one ever rushed us and everyone who works here is courteous and always concerned that we’re all happy with the food we ordered. My favorite is the wonderful potato pancakes. They are just like my beloved grandmother used to make, and they are served with your choice of sour cream or applesauce (or both, if you wish). I do love the pierogis too, especially the spinach and the philly cheesesteak, but every time we go, I always find myself ordering those potato pancakes because they are just so good. Sometimes I get the combo which is also great. The soups are also wonderful. My favorite is the Dill (Pickle) Soup. My husband loves the Polish Soup. My friend made it her mission to sample everything on the menu before the summer comes. We’ve been only meeting there once a month since the summer, so I’m not sure if she accomplished this yet. We have also included many friends that come now, too, due to our rave reviews. I hope everyone who had a negative experience try it again. It is unique and a real treasure in the Northeast.

As an extremely time constricted student, I was very excited when our instructor gave us an extended lunch and this place was recommended to us. Unfortunately after my 3 friends and I were promised our food in 10 minutes, we ended up waiting almost a half an hour of our 45 minute lunch. After trying to get the woman’s attention for another 10 minutes even after she saw us at the counter, we asked when our food would be finished, she again recited «10 minutes». She then turned around and told her staff to start our order. At this point we were beyond frustrated and out of time so we had to leave. Going off this experience alone, there is no sense of order in their kitchen and no one is attempting to hustle to make food at all whatsoever. There customer service is unsatisfactory too. FYI: It’s a Wednesday afternoon.

So I was just driving past this place and was very intrigued. I told a friend about it and we decided to go for dinner.
we both went for the combo platter with the potato pancakes which gets you 3 pierogies of your choice, 2 potato pancakes, and a stuffed cabbage with either tomato or mushroom sauce.
every pierogie I had was delicious (the cheesesteak, the Israeli, and the original). the pancakes were also really good. the only problem was the stuffed cabbage-I’m sure it would have been delicious, but it ended up being stuffed with a mixture of pork and chicken, and my friend and I don’t eat pork. the owner of the restaurant came up to our table and offered us each two pierogies of our choosing to replace the stuffed cabbage. I really wasn’t expecting that, but we both took her up on her generous offer and tried the Cajun pierogies. two thumbs up!
we ended it with the cookies she (I’m assuming) was giving out to everyone.
all in all, my friend and I had a really good experience and we’d definitely go back/​recommend to others.

We went a few weeks back to check out this place. It was yummy. I would definitely recommend doing take out, just a bit less awkward because I don’t think anyone there is really trained to be a server. But really, the food speaks for itself!
I grew up eating Pierogis made by my mom and grandma and these were so good! The fried in butter, with onion, took me back to Ukraine. Their golubtsi are nice too, the tomato sauce really adds to it.
I hope this place survives, it’s got such a nice feel to it and the service is good too. If you’ve never had real Pierogi, go here and try them!
Oh also, their dessert with sweet pierogis was very nice.

This is my first bad review and I hate that is has to be a family owned and operated restaurant, but here it goes:
The Pierogi Factory is a relatively new spot in the Northeast that I’ve wanted to try it for some time now. We walked in and ordered 3 different types of pierogis; Israeli, broccoli & cheddar and an original potato, with 2 of them being fried and one boiled. They were made fresh, which was definitely a plus. They were good, but not great. We had a hair in our food and the restaurant itself was very hot due to the open kitchen. The staff was friendly and there was a cool live-​feed of what we thought must have been somewhere in Poland.
Unfortunately with the food just being OK and nothing special, the hair in our food and the restaurants uncomfortably hot temperature really made our experience lack-​luster, forcing me to leave this review.
I’m not going to tell people to avoid this place, but I certainly don’t plan on coming back to the Pierogi Factory anytime soon.
Not exactly sure how all of the reviews are 4 & 5 stars.

Pierogies! Get in mah belly! So good.
The potato pancakes were crisp and flavorful, too.
Only four tables in the sit-​down area though.

Amazing!!! Cheesesteak pierogis are the best! Seriously so good! All of the people who own and operate this restaurant are from Poland and take great pride in what they do! It shows in their product! Delicious! I’ll def be getting them again, maybe even for a party!:)

Tonight we had takeout from The Pierogi Factory. Driving by on Bustleton Ave, I kept thinking about how great it would be to have amazing Polish food in Northeast Philly.
We ordered a bunch of the Potato and Cheese, Ukrainian, Cheese steak pierogis, Golabki, Kielbasa and Potato Pancakes.
Let me first say that I am ½ Polish and I’ve been eating Polish food since I was a baby. My family would make all the standard foods every Easter, Christmas, etc, so I know what good polish food is. This is a far cry from good polish food.
Pierogi Factory — more like Pierogi Unsatisfactory. Let me provide the specifics.
The Kielbasa was overly crisp and flavorless. You can pay $ 8 and go to Krakus or Czerwas in Port Richmond and get more kielbasa and have a better experience cooking at home.
Golabki tastes terrible. I am not sure which animal they got the meat from, but it didn’t taste like beef, pork or veal. The tomato sauce was not good and came in a side container.
I was really excited to try the pierogis, because what person would name their business «Pierogi Factory» unless there pierogis were out of this world. We tried the Ukrainian, Cheese Steak and Potato and Cheese pierogis. The Ukrainian pierogis were not that bad. They could use a little more sauerkraut. The Potato and Cheese had ricotta and farmers cheese. If I wanted a ravioli I would have went to P&S. The Cheese Steak pierogis were all hype and tasted like a sub-​par cheese steak. If I wanted a sub-​par cheese steak I would go to Wit or Without.
The Potato Pancakes were saturated in grease. I love potato pancakes and drive to a festival in Doylestown every September to get the best of the best. Good potato pancakes are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and come with sour cream or apple sauce. The Pierogi Factory’s Potato Pancakes were none of that. They only offer sour cream and were wet dripping with grease.
At the end of the day my recommendation would be to not spend your cabbage at the Pierogi Factory.
After all of this, I wish the grease from the potato pancakes would make my heart fail so I would stop feeling disappointment.

Score. Best Polish I’ve had in ages. Delivery coming soon. Open 2 months. Get in before the place gets crowded– only 4 tables for dine-​in, rest of the business is carryout.
I had the Combo #1, with stuffed cabbage (we got the mushroom sauce), 3 pierogies (got the Israeli ones, mushroom and potato). ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would do again. Ordered the pierogies pan-​fried not deep-​, and came out yummtastic.
Borscht was ok. I had to skip the sour cream, might be more exciting with.

I’m Italian and I love pierogies. After ordering on a very busy election day. I wondered if they would be your regular run of the mill pierogi. Far from it –They we absolutely delicious. The potato pancakes as well. Guys don’t miss this spot for a change of pace you will not be disappointed. Friendly staff that cares about your meal and how it was. One of the staff asked if I wanted them fried so I said boiled for health reasons, she talked me into fried and wow they were lightly sauteed, not fried. How long can they keep up homemade pierogies made to order I wonder. Awesome…

Saw the Pierogi Factory while driving south on Bustleton Avenue and was excited for it to open. I stopped in for a menu earlier today to find a nice and clean establishment with a few tables for an eat-​in experience with waiter service or take-​out.
Being Polish, the only place to get some good authentic food means a trek down to Port Richmond. Not anymore. This place hits the spot. We got 4 different types of pierogi — buckwheat and farmers cheese, meat, Spinach with Parm, Ricotta and Farmers Cheese, and Mushroom and Sauerkraut. Choice of Pan-​fried or boiled. Big fan of the Meat and Spinach.
With the order of pierogi, you have the option of getting a side of Red Beet Broth soup for $ 1. With the combo we ordered, we received 3 pierogi, a golabki with choice of red or mushroom sauce, and 2 potato pancakes. The golabki was delicious with a nice combo of rice and pork. The potato pancakes were great, with onion and a nice crisp edge.
Will definitely be heading back to try the white or smoked kielbasa and am really excited to have this great addition to the Northeast.
