I was here with a group a while ago after a long walk that ended in Greenpoint. There were plenty of people inside during lunch, and our relatively large group was seated in their other room next door, which had some larger tables. It was bright and sunny, so the area was a tad hot, but we made do with a bunch of us, including me, getting a beer or soda to deal with the heat. The service was friendly and helpful with those who weren't sure what they wanted, I went with a special, which is only available from Friday to Sunday during the summer. This was the Harvest Grill Bowl, which came with six pan-fried pierogi of my choice served with grilled Polish kielbasa, roasted yellow/green squash, roasted corn, red pepper, caramelized onion, garlic, and rosemary. The price, which ranged from $16 to $20, depended on which pierogi were used, with the meat ones being more. I asked if I could do half and half like on the regular menu, and that was fine, so it was $18, I believe. My first choice was the recommended Pierogi Tatarskie along with the Sauerkraut and Mushroom. The former was filled with potatoes, eggs, dill, and scallions and garnished with sizzling bacon, while the latter was filled with sauerkraut & mushroom and topped with caramelized onions. Both of them were tasty with a good texture, and I had a slight preference towards the latter pieróg, which was earthy but also tasted meaty, as is pretty typical for the mix. The former was good, though I do wish there was a stronger dill and scallion flavor. Outside of the pierogi, the kielbasa added some smokiness, while the rest added some sweetness, earthiness, and other flavors. I liked the addition of the pickle in there for an extra flavor. Overall, it was very filling and delicious, and I would highly recommend it. Not much else to say here. Good spot, at least from what I tried. Would recommend the bowl, and others enjoyed their meals as well.
This is a cute spot, highly recommend the patio out back, there's way more seating back there. Was very interested to try a Michelin star Polosh restaurant. I'd say it lives up to the hype, but not the absolute best I've ever had. The kielbasa was smoky and delicious, also enjoyed all of the pierogi we tried (which was nearly all options). I'd say the fruit pierogi (strawberry and blueberry) were the weakest. Pretty plain, but I wasn't expecting anything crazy. The golabki with mushroom gravy had me envious, it was REALLY good and an interesting departure from the typical tomato sauce you typically get. The Bloody Mary was solid; love that it comes with a pierogi speared on. We really enjoyed the crepe to finish off the meal. Just a solid crepe, nothing super unique going on. Definitely a great option if you're looking to try solid Polish food, I can see why it's so highly regarded.
Two words. The best! Homemade pierogis, everything is from scratch, tastes like you're eating at you Polish friend's house. Make reservations.
Yummy yummy meal. We got the Meat Pierogi & Tatarskie Pierogi, Golabki (Stuffed Cabbage) / Meat & Rice, and Kielbasa Dish w/ Murray's Cheese Pierogi. The pierogis were my favorite. Food was ready slower than anticipated but wanted to give the benefit of the doubt. Inside was cute. I liked seeing the kitchen. I'll definitely be back to try more Pierogis.
Nice, narrow space with backyard outdoor seating, with delicious Polish fare. Portions are on the small side, with Michelin guide prices.
Four polish cooking moms came to Pierożek . Great place , great servis and awesome food we order most of menu all was soooo good . Really rellly need to stop if you in area. Samcznego
I can confidently say these are the best pierogies I've ever had! They are the most flavorful ones, and the wrapper is tender and not too thick and heavy. The potato and cheese one blew me away. For something so simple and traditional, it was executed so well and packed so much flavor! I also really liked the Murray cheese one, especially the crispy bacon pieces that come with it. I ordered takeaway, but the service was very fast and friendly, and I could tell the ambiance inside the restaurant was nice for those dining inside. I highly recommend giving this place a shot!
In a city with so much good food, it's a true testament to Pierozek that I keep coming back! These really are the best pierogis I've ever had. This time, we got the murray's cheese, tatarskie, and pizza pierogis, finished off with the raspberry and sweet cheese pierogi as dessert. Four orders was definitely a lot for two people, but we loved everything! I had never had the pizza pierogis before, and they were definitely a standout. Loved the hot honey drizzle!! I haven't been for happy hour, but the deal looks great!! $3 shots and 2-for-1 beer and wine.
Pierozek had been on my to-try list forever and I'm so glad I finally got to visit. It's warm and homey, with European-style cafe vibes, which I loved. I ordered the a combo of the pork shoulder and Murray's cheese (cheddar/bacon/potato). It's great that you can order a combo. Both were delicious, but I particularly loved the Murray's cheese. So much so that I got a second order, which was shocking for me. The pierogi are that good here. I was a bit rushed during this visit, but would love to return when I am not so rushed and with better company so that I can relax and enjoy the experience more.
Eating here was such a delightful experience-from the friendly staff to cute decor. Outside of that, the food was just phenomenal. We had some authentic, homemade potato and cheese ($14) and jalapeño ($15) pierogis which were great. Served with sour cream and onion and garlic dill sauce, these pierogis were perfect and we had to order more. Paired with a big glass of Zywiec, this was such a hearty meal.
The pierogies here were so good! Highly recommend the potato & cheese one. The pierogi tatarskie was pretty good, but not as good as a potato & cheese one in my opinion. Service is very quick. They have a good amount of seating inside with two separate rooms and outdoor seating in the back.
I was in the neighborhood and decided to try Pierozek. For a Saturday night, the wait wasn't bad at all. Once inside, I was surprised by how much space the restaurant had and it looks so different from the outside. They're known for their authentic handmade pierogies. I ordered the summer grill bowl mix which is only served on weekends. It comes with six pan fried pierogies of your choice, grilled kielbasa, roasted yellow and green squash, red bell peppers, caramelized onions, garlic, rosemary, and roasted corn. I went with three meat and three potato and cheese. I also tried the Murray's cheese as a separate order. Definitely worth it. They had run out of the Paulie Gees's Pizza Pierogies combo so have to come back for that. For dessert, I had the homemade waffles topped with mixed berries and homemade whipped cream. Everything was delicious. I would go back again.
Pierogis - such a staple in Polish / Ukrainian cuisine. If you don't know what they are, I hope you at least heard about them peripherally in Gossip Girl when Dan Humphrey and Vanessa Abrams frequently mention eating pierogis together. There's really a few key options for great pierogis in NYC: Pierozek, Karczma, Veselka, and Streecha. I rank the pierogis in that order exactly - with Pierozek being truly the best of the spread, and also with Michelin designation for a few year running - consecutively! The prices are very reasonable (not common in NYC restaurant scenes), and it truly feels like authentic home-cooking and comfort food. From the savory pierogis, beef stew (cabbage mix), and the croquette, it was all perfectly cooked. Tons of flavors, wonderful textures, and great service. I DoorDash from this place often, but the restaurant is also super cozy with a great ambiance! A true Greenpoint favorite and staple - I'm a frequent customer who will come time and time again.

I absolutely am obsessed with the variety of pierogi and how amazingly delicious every single one of them really is...don't tell grandma. The Ruskie is most common and what I grew up eating: potato and cheese with loads of sautéed onions and sour cream. Yum. Pierozek is as traditional as it gets. I usually don't enjoy that kapusta pierogi and yet these are beyond divine. I love the borscht with uszka stuffed with mushrooms and can often be found taking soup to go when I need a little self love because it reminds me of the food that fixed everything when I was a child. I never had sweet pierogi until coming to Pierozek and the sweet cream with raspberry is just simply amazing. I love how their soft and yet firm so they insides don't come bursting out. The owner pays so much attention to detail and ensures that all CDC recommended guidelines are strictly adhered to if you sit outside...while we still can. I literally drive from Nassau County at least one or twice a month just to bring these amazing pierogi. Also, try a shot of the raspberry vodka...it will warm you up perfectly while sitting outside!!! read more

Came here with my Dad to show him what Polish food in Greenpoint is all about. Honestly the best pierogies I've had in the neighborhood. Really enjoyed the salad entree that came with three pierogies of your choosing. The spinach pierogies are the best in my opinion. Lowkey though, not the best drink selection. The bartender makes great cocktails that are on the menu, but deviating from that list doesn't fly. Regardless, a great place. read more
2nd time having pierogies so I'm still no expert, but these were far better than the first (sorry pierogie boys). Rather than being too thick and doughy, the wrapper was nice and chewy and the perfect thickness. I got the sampler with the mushroom sauerkraut and the meat, both were delicious and full of flavor. The onions on top were beautifully caramelized. I'm not sure what the white sauce other than sour cream was, but it worked wonderfully to cut through some of the oiliness and add an herbal flavor. Would definitely recommend! read more

What a wonderful find in the neighborhood. We waited about 30 minutes for a table, which is normal in this area. But the food was well worth the wait. Pierogis perfectly seasoned and cooked, with dough thin and also delicate. Meat croquet is to die for and sweet cheese blintzes brought my wife into orgazmik state. All that coupled with a shot of ice cold Zubrovka and great service and and you have two bevouted customers. We will definately come back. read more

Fabulous fresh homemade pierogies. We shared the mushroom sauerkraut, spinach garlic & potato cheese w/bacon on top. They are fully stuffed & you can actually taste the fresh filling. Also shared a stuffed cabbage w/rice & meat. The mushroom sauce was a first for me. I could have just had a bowl of the sauce. Super friendly service. Very cut space & nice outdoor garden. Can't wait to go back! read more
Love this place. It was my fourth time here this past week and i tried the buckwheat croquette with mushroom sauce for the first time and holy smokes, polish comfort food jackpot. The ruskie pierogi used to be my favorite thing here but i think i found a new favorite... Also the sweet mix is a must have: the sweet cheese and fruit is bomb! read more

My grandmother was from Poland and I grew up eating authentic pierogi, and I can say that these are the real deal! They are so delicious, the best I've had in Brooklyn and NYC! Everything is amazing-- the food, the service, the team, and the inside of the restaurant is so charming and has a great ambiance. Whether you're Polish, or not... you're going to LOVE Pierozek! read more

The pierogis are by far the best I've had in NYC. The savory ones are delicious and then you have to try the raspberry pierogis as dessert. They have a back patio that is usually available and a great place to eat right now. Highly recommend. read more

We have left on vacation for two weeks and meanwhile a new place popped-up in our neighborhood (not necessarily always a good thing). However, in a predominately gentrified neighborhood, it is nice to see a new place calling back the roots of Little Poland. "Pierożek" (a singular, sweetened way for a "Pieróg" is a Pierogi (already plural) place. "Pierogi (/proi/ pih-ROH-ghee) are filled dumplings of Central and Eastern European origin, made by wrapping unleavened dough around a savory or sweet filling and cooking in boiling water, or pan-frying." - Wikipedia. As my boyfriend is a big enthusiast of Pierogi, we could not wait to check out this place. So arriving at the airport the night before, we have decided to lunch there the next day at its soft opening. Classic looking clean-cut storefront reads the name of the restaurant, displays an adorable graphic of pierożek and states "Authentic Handmade Pierogi". Walking in one feels the warmth of the interior. Light green-white walls and sections of brick composing well with light, wooden wainscotting gives the place a very homey feeling. Nice and subtle fixtures visible on the wall share space with traditional Polish Paper Cuts. Colorful patterns also seep onto the pilows located on the window-seat. Taking a peak towards the back of the restaurant one can see right into the pierogi-production plant :) Which I would say, is just one more part of an exciting eating experience. Although currently closed, this joint also has a backyard. But let's get to the food. After a lengthy debate on which pierogi to pick (totally our fault, as we did appreciate a positively-basic focus of the place on the most typical of Pierogi types), we have decided to go with 3 portions: 1 portion of Meat (as per the recommendation of our uber-nice waitress, who was a sweet-heart), Savory Pierogi Mix (Sauerkraut & Mushroom and Ruskie) and Sweet Pierogi Mix (Blueberry and Strawberry). My boyfriend decided to go with a cup of Red Borscht for a drink and I went with a Latte. We have inquired whether the pierogi come boiled or fried and we were informed that currently, they are only available boiled, which I was not too excited about as I prefer them fried when savory. Since I went with the sweet type for the majority of my portion (which actually taste better boiled) I did not get too grumpy about that fact. Coffee and borscht arrived first. Borch had a very traditional flavor and a pleasant fruity twist. Coffee tasted nice and strong, basically, "authentic". Just a few minutes later the waitress brought over two plates with the savory-type of the "dumplings" which came with a side of sour cream and garlic sauce (delicious!!!, if you like garlic, and I love it). Food came on beautifully and traditionally decorated authentic Boleslawiec table-setting. You can check out some of its examples here: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/48132289744661852/?lp=true Soon after we got our serving of fruity pierogi with a side of sweet creamy sauce and we were ready to enjoy our treats. They were all nicely filled and fluffy. Meat, which I usually take out (I know, I know I am an adult...) was delicious, soft and melted in your mouth (50 point to the waitress for her recommendation). I also tried these with the garlic sauce and it was a hit (Receiving a judgemental look from a connoisseur across the table, who summed up that there is no need for a sauce. I agreed, but I also could not resist to try it.) Sauerkraut and mushroom (my favorite) were nicely spiced up a flavorful. Ruskie, which is the least of my favorite types, was nice, but not overwhelming. Summing up the savory set the only request we would have is to add some fried bacon to the onion & butter dressing. As for the strawberry, I greatly enjoyed it with the sweet sauce. They contained full fruit chunks, which I saw for the first time, as I always had them "ground", but it was a pleasant surprise. Blueberry pierogi turned out a little sour, it was good to have the sauce for balance. As soon as the pierogi appeared, so they were gone. Wrapping things up... We were more than content with our experience. Food was delicious and authentic, people working there sweet and decor sweetly-pleasant. Being polish I can attest to the place being ethnically correct. So I highly recommend for anyone who is Pierogi-curious or Pierogi-hungry to visit this place. And most importantly it is Tom-Approved, and he knows his pierogi. I don't think he would go as far as saying they are as good as his mom's... but they come as close second ;) read more

As a Polish-American that was brought up on Polish cuisine my babcia made, I gotta say Pierozek lives up to the standards of my childhood. The menu featured many staples such as pierogi, croquettes and naleśniki and the borscht was divine. I ordered the borscht with mini dumplings and a mushroom and sauerkraut croquette. The borscht with mini dumplings was just right, the dumplings were firm and the soup wasn't too salty. The croquette was light and fluffy yet still crunchy which was amazing. The mushroom filling for the croquette and mini dumplings was divine, the taste of every mushroom isn't overpowered by vinegar, it's woodsy and savory. Overall the service was very friendly and wonderful and I'll definitely be back! :) I loved it here! read more

The mission to find great pierogies in Greenpoint was hugely successful when we chose Pierozek. The place was bright and clean, and the staff was very friendly. I enjoyed the Summer Grill Bowl that included Kielbasa and vegetables along with the absolutely delicious pierogies. Loved the pierogie pillows, they were a great touch. Highly recommended! read more

Absolutely delicious hand-made Polish pierogi. Their excellent half-moon boiled dumplings are filled with spinach, potato and cheese; mushrooms and sauerkraut; or pork, and served topped with sautéed onions. Borscht with little dumplings, croquette and sweet pierogi are also on the menu - can't wait to try. A great addition to Greenpoint! read more

Amazing food and incredible service! I couldn't recommend this place enough! Our server Petra was so incredibly sweet and made us feel so welcomed. They even have little handmade pierogi pillows made by the staff that you can buy and I just couldn't resist getting one. If you're in the area you need to stop in! I'll definitely be going back very soon :) read more
