    Was in the area, and my wife used to live in Philly (and may or may not have lived off of pretzels and soup), so she insisted we go in. The place is takeout, with a variety of pretzel options. For relatively cheap, you can get Philly-style pretzels a la carte. They also sell nuggets (both salted and cinnamon sugar), dips, and hotdog pretzels. A woman was walking out with a giant party tray of pretzels, so that's an option for your next get-together. The service was fast and friendly. Like I said, I don't have a major nostalgia connection to Philly-style pretzels, so to me, they were just okay. But if you want to go big on pretzels for a good price, this place is a good option.

    Always ready when I pick up my orders. I usually get the pretzel rivet trays, but the full size pretzels also slap. Casual. Exactly what you'd expect. Price is cheap. Why get any other pretzels??

    I had a great experience with Philly Pretzel Factory! I was hosting an event next door at Necromancer Brewing and knew I wanted to provide some light snacks that would pair well with beer. These soft pretzels were perfect! I tried to place the order online, but for some reason it would not accept my order. I called and did it over the phone and it was super easy. 100 soft pretzels is only $68?! What a deal. I called when I was on my way to pick them up and the employee notified me that they would be coming out of the oven in about 10 minutes. They were hot and ready right on time. The employees were super friendly and the pretzels were great! I added honey mustard and cheese, but should have remembered to ask for spoons for the cheese sauce. The pretzels were soft and smelled/tasted fresh! The employees were so friendly when I picked up the order and even helped me out to the car with them. I would absolutely recommend these pretzels and this location especially.

    I was in the area and did not even Know about the Pittsburgh Pretzel Factory until I drove past it. I swore on my way back I would stop and check the place out. The place is pretty big and they do all there own baking right on premises. I got 3 pretzels to go. I did not even make it to the car before I started eating the freshly made hot pretzel. The pretzel was totally delicious. They make all sorts of platters and other types of pretzel type items. The guy behind the counter was very nice and super helpful. Great customer service. The prices are great as well. This is definetly my go to lace for great fresh hot pretzels. You can be sure I will be going again and again.

    PPF is one of my favorite places to stop to get a quick bite. Each and every time I come here, I'm greeted with nothing but smiling faces. There's always so much to choose from- regular pretzels, cinnamon, rivets, trays, pretzel dogs, etc. The list goes on an on!! I love that you can always see someone in the back making fresh pretzels. This ensures that the pretzels aren't sitting out all day long and are made frequently. My personal favorite is the pretzel dog. It's always cooked to perfection and warmed just right. You can never go wrong with the classic pretzel though. And the cinnamon one.... actually who am I kidding they're all fantastic. Each pretzel has a unique dip that pairs perfectly with it. They even sell big containers of the dips if you're really feeling it. Oh! I forgot to mention they have coffee in this location as well!! They offer French vanilla flavored or a breakfast blend. The coffee is always fresh as well and is amazing. You definitely have to try a cup! Lastly, this establishment is always so clean. For how much they're cooking in the back, I would think there would be salt everywhere and little pretzels hiding everywhere. That's certainly not the case here. It's kept so nice and clean which is very important in the food industry. Did I mention they can bless your party/ gathering with the most delicious trays of pretzels? I've gotten a full size tray of rivets so many times and I feel like they never go bad for the whole time of the event. You even get 3 big dips when you get this tray! Seriously the perfect addition to whatever you're catering. I am seriously so obsessed with this place. I stop each time I'm out this way!

    Hard as rocks Rivets, tiny Hot Dogs, $1 Cheese, .50 Hot Mustard and a bottle Tea for $10.50 and all the regrets...blah

    Pretzels are good. Get stale real quick. Shops are run by kids. They have weird hours close to early.

    We popped in on a rainy day and got two drinks and pretzels. What a delightful little place! I got…read morethe raspberry mocha and I have no other way to describe it than graeter's berry chocolate chip ice cream. I think we came at a kind of off time of day because the pretzels were cold and kind of hard, but they still tasted good and the dips were what we expected. I'd suggest making a trip towards the beginning of the day!

    Amazing pretzels!!!…read more Super friendly and polite customer service with warm, comforting pretzels and the most amazing dips ever. In addition to being organic and vegan I also appreciate the fact that they aren't too salty like many other soft pretzels are. These pretzels also reheat well in the toaster oven which is great when you are already stuffed but want to take a pretzel to go. I especially recommend the cinnamon butter dip which has a very unique flavor. I've never had anything like it. It is reminiscent of cinnamon ice cream in texture and flavor without actually being cold or too sweet. You also don't mind using a lot of it as it is light and fluffy in mouthfeel.  They must never take the tasty cinnamon butter away!!! They also have a tasty mustard dip which is a condiment I often recommend to people as a Dietitian due to its many health benefits. As the only local pretzel place in Pittsburgh to serve both organic and vegan pretzels this is the *perfect* vendor to any local party you are having - particularly events that have the need to be vegan and/or organic as people become increasingly concerned with their health and the environment. I highly recommend contacting Connor today or ordering a pretzel from him if you see his pretzels at an event! :)

    I always find this restaurant to be great with a side of historical nostalgia. It feels connected…read moreto the history of the area - especially to the Germantown/Deutschtown neighborhood on the northside. There is a large menu here with a lot of German specialities. I got the fish sandwich this time. It was good, but needed a little more spice. The sides here are great -- I'm particular to the einlauf soup (similar to Jewish matzah ball), the homemade chunky applesauce, and the potato pancakes. I have had a stuffed cabbage entree here also when it was offered as a special. This might be a harder restaurant to come to if you are a vegetarian, as there is a lot of meat on the menu -- also a lot of pork and pork sausage, etc for anyone who doesn't eat this. I found there are many other options though for those who eat chicken, fish, or beef. There also is a full bar here and the bar itself is the most nostalgic looking element to the restaurant. Prost!

I got reminded I wanted to try it one more time after the last review Their hostess needs some training. We got there, she said that they had tables but she was "trying to give the servers a break." I kept asking how long of a wait there would be and she said, "I don't know." We took our chances and waited for about 20 minutes watching her braid her own hair and 3-4 tables leaving before another wait staff finally came out and asked hostess, "have you given them a time?" She told her no and then the woman said, "it's going to be 45 minutes to an hour." We left after having wasted enough time. This place used to be great and we went about once every other month, but now their staff doesn't seem to know what they are doing and we didn't even get a chance to try the food it again.
