Pietrzyk Pierogi

"Located in Detroit’s Eastern Market, this establishment specializes in small-batch paczki and pierogi. It faces challenges with rising egg prices but remains committed to tradition." - Ashok Selvam

"The Pierogi Queen’s signature paczki — strawberry jalapeño — strikes a balance between sweet and spicy, offering a bold twist on tradition. Preorders are now open on their website for singles or mixed dozens, which also feature classic flavors like blueberry, raspberry, vanilla custard, and lemon curd." - Courtney Burk

"Pietrzyk Pierogi is accepting online pre-orders for paczki in options from single to four flavors for mixed dozens. Classic flavors of raspberry, blueberry, lemon curd, and vanilla custard are on the menu, in addition to the spot’s signature strawberry jalapeño." - Courtney Burk

"Pietrzyk Pierogi serves both traditional and creative Polish dumplings, snacks, and other food inside Gratiot Central Market. Visit the shop during lunch hours for carryout boats of classic pierogi and more unique pierogi with fillings such as cheeseburger or jalapeño cheese. Pietrzyk Pierogi also has a packaged retail section for customers who want to take some dumplings home." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Owner Erica Pietrzyk is known for her nontraditional takes on Polish dumplings, like the Holiday Special, a pierogi packed with turkey, potatoes, stuffing, and green beans. It’s those kinds of fun flavors that turned Pietrzyk Pierogi into a hit pop-up restaurant and now a food stall inside Gratiot Central Market in Eastern Market. Pietrzyk offers in-store shopping, curbside service, and shipping with an online shop, where customers can order packages of frozen pierogi, join the Pierogi of the Month Club that delivers a dozen frozen pierogi each month to one’s home, and even pay-it-forward meals to help people experiencing food insecurity. Pietrzyk is also available at 20 local retail locations." - Serena Maria Daniels
