I live in Greenpoint and barely eat Polish food...that's going to change. I had the borscht and sour kraut croquette. The soup was amazing, bright and hearty broth. The croquette was way better than I expected. Fried but not heavy, just really tender. It all feels very fancy in an old world way that feels really good! read more

Very cute place! With best pierogies in the city! Last time I had pierogi this good, was in Warsaw. Service was on point, super quick. Highly recommend it! read more

Pierozek - Blueberry Pierogi Raspberry & Sweet Cheese Pierogi - Polish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here with my gf and her parents in search of good pierogies, and it certainly did not disappoint. As soon as we walked in, we noticed how cute and clean the inside was, and that the server was very friendly. We ended up sitting out in their back patio, which had heaters too since it was a little chilly. We all opted for the kielbasa dish which came with three pierogies each, and then also decided to split an order for the table. Everything was cooked perfectly. The kielbasa had a perfect crisp on the outside, yet juicy and flavorful inside. All the pierogies were incredibly soft, nearly melted right in your mouth. We tried the jalapeño, ruskie (cheese and potato), Murray's cheese, and then a special of the day the Buffalo chicken (surprisingly great). We all enjoyed every one and left completely full. All for a reasonable price. Will certainly be back. read more

Very good pierogies, probably one of the best places in New York. They serve them in plates of six and they're quite sizable. Cute decor and outdoor garden area. Wait staff is very professional and personable. They have some traditional pierogies (Ruskie, meat), and also some innovative new ones made with local ingredients like Murray's cheese. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a pierogi fix. read more

Delicious selection of pierogis and sauces. Quaint vibe and loveliest service. I'm not a dessert person in the slightest but I would absolutely go back for the blueberry pierogis and tea. read more

Pierozek - Polish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is fantastic, and I'm a huge fan. I've gone here twice, both for takeout, and everything has been delicious. My husband, who has hated all pierogis he has had up until this point, also loves them. I've always enjoyed them and have dragged him to multiple pierogi spots in the city and NJ, and he'd always say the same thing - not impressed. I finally set my foot down and said I want to try this place and if you want takeout from somewhere else, fine, but I want pierogis. We picked these up and he went oh, these are actually good! I've gotten the jalapeño (without bacon), spinach, sweet cheese, and sweet cheese with raspberry. The sweet cheese and sweet cheese with raspberry have the right balance of sweetness with fruit. They're fantastic. The jalapeño and potato packs a kick, but still, delicious. It's not pickled jalapeño - the jalapeños are fresh and crunchy, and they pair well with the potato filling. The spinach filling is full of flavor, as it's mixed with onion and garlic, and is tasty. My 15 month old son will scarf the spinach ones because he also finds these to be delicious. I highly, highly recommend this place! read more

The pierogi are amazing and the decor is super cute. My go-to spot for lunch in Greenpoint.

Bland and expensive-bland. The blueberry dumplings were just blueberries wrapped in dough with no other flavoring. The meat croquette was also bland as the day is long. After eating, I feel sick so it must be all the butter they boast of... so beware. Sweet cheese was ok tasting. Props for the speedy delivery. read more

Pierozek - Blueberry Pierogi and Sweet Cheese Pierogi - Polish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is phenomenal, the food is delicious, we ordered a variety of pierogis , the savory mix, ( potatoes and cheese and the saouerkraut and mushroom) and then we ordered the sweet pierogi mix (raspberry and sweet cheese, and strawberry). SUPER DELICIOUS. My first time trying red borscht with Mini pierogi, Amazing, ( this place remind me of the foodie I am,, LORD!!!) I chose mushroom with the red Borscht. lastly the sweet cheese crepe and mixed fruit on top. Everything was super delicious, i just have no more words!!! outstanding!!...we waited a bit long for the food,but it was worth it. The guy who assist us with the food apologized for the waiting, but ITS FRESH, i know things like this happen... definitily coming back. read more

I recently ordered a catering order of pierogies (30 per tray) and the process could not have gone more smoothly and the pierogies could not have been more delicious. We had the jalapeno, sauerkraut & mushroom, meat (pork), and sweet cream and raspberry, and the catering order comes with ample sour cream, sweet cream, and garlic dill sauces. All of the pierogies were tasty but the jalapeno and sweet cream/raspberry really hit it out of the park. The contrast between the tart raspberry and the sweet cream hit just the right balance. And the jalapeno adds a nice kick to the traditional potato and cheese pierogi. The ordering process was smooth and easy over email, and they helpfully provided us with a large serving spoon for each tray. None of my guests had tried Pierozek before and all were very eager to try it again following our feast! read more

Fantastic pierogis, so clean, nice design. Really nice staff. Pierogi are delish, especially the potato ones. Kid friendly too (they have high chairs) but it is one of those rare places that you can take kids but still feel like you are going to a cool place in Brooklyn. We ordered the special Valentine's day pierogis (chocolate flavored, heart shaped, some with sweet cheese and orange) and they were so cute (PERFECT for kids). My parents are from Poland and this place is very authentic. In general, when you order pierogis, look for very thin delicate dough, which Pierozek does very well. This restaurant manages to preserve old traditions but make it modern and show what it means to be Polish today. I didn't order the borsht with uszki but they looked really good and very authentic. read more

Oh my lord. Friends, neighbors, strangers: these pierogi are incredible. My mother is Polish and I spent every summer there and know the real deal, and these are that except somehow even better. I'd been hankering to try them but of course they opened after I moved away from Greenpoint, so I'm not around as often. Anyway, I finally tried the meat ones today and they were as delicious as friends had promised me. Perfect texture and flavor. And dill in the sour cream is a great touch. I will be trying all their flavors in the weeks/months to come. So happy to see a new spot in the neighborhood that honors Greenpoint's Polish heritage. They're open for take-out and delivery during the quarantine. GO! read more

Absolutely delicious! The potato and cheese were top notch and I really liked the unique sour flavor of the mushroom sauerkraut as well. But the real winners here were the dessert pierogis. The strawberry somehow tasted like a blend of fruit snacks and Australian licorice-which is crazy because when you look inside, it's just strawberries in there! The raspberry cheese pierogi was perfection, a fruit cloud. Just sent directly from heaven to your mouth. We also were sent a crepe from the host on the house which was a lovely treat filled with light-as-air cream. Everything was on point and very delicious. I can't wait to go back! read more

The pierogies were the best I've had since I was in Krakow. We had the meat, the potato/cheese mix, the sauerkraut/mushroom, the strawberry and the raspberry cheese mix. Each one was amazing. So amazing that I ordered 2 orders to go. The raspberry cheese was absolute perfection. read more

Pierozek - Strawberry Pierogi and Raspberry & Sweet Cheese Pierogi - Polish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I am a Greenpoint native, born and raised. My mother is from Rzeszow, my step-father, from Gdynia. All of us were with my younger siblings over the weekend for dinner, ready to scope the place out. We've seen our neighborhood change a lot over the last 5 years, and we were really ready to loveeeeee this place. Service~~ As a Polish WOC, I got some weird looks from our server (yes I'm used to the weird looks in Greenpoint by now, but I'm also a familiar face in the neighborhood, so I really only expect them when I visit Poland). My family noticed it too, as we've dealth with this for years. Perhaps she was new? We asked her for extra plates for our "family-share" style meal, and got them 15 minutes after we asked, when we were done with our meal of course... She was a bit scattered and seemed very impatient with our family when we were ordering. Perhaps no experience serving a family with kids, ages 10-13? Her body language yelllllllled of "please finish your order so I can move on to the next table." Getting her attention was a bit tough, and being friendly with her seemed like it wasn't in her interests. I mean, I'm not here to be best friends with you but my fam and I are locals and we came with love and were met with a lot of cold feelin... Water was not refilled, updates weren't said (as she placed one dish, to be able to say "I'll be back with the rest of your plates in a minute!"), and yallllll just bad energy... We left a large tip anyway because it's all love in the end~ I think my 3 star review moreso reflects the feelings we were left with at this place, because as a fam we all agreed the energy from her was cold and really unconcerned about us... Service: 4/10 Food~~ The red barszcz (barszcz czerwony) was on the sour and thin side. If you're into that, cool! But I was raised on a heartier taste, and so this soup reminded me of some concentrate from Biedronka mixed with water. **The pierogi dough was STELLAR. YES! For those of you new to polish cooking, this is TOUGH to do. They achieved some beautiful work, but they go real thin on the stuffing for what you're paying. There are other spots in Greenpoint that will stuff your pierogi with thicker scoops and thin dough as well~ The stuffings, though, were WELL seasoned. From the ruskie to the sweet to the cabbage and mushroom and the blueberries it was VERY well prepped. But the prices don't correlate with the plate all too much, and I thought it was a little thin. :/ The food for the most part is great! I wasn't a fan of the barszcz (I'm used to my own and my mom's prep) but the pierogi stuffing tastes were excellent. I am ticking off points moreso for value, because there are definitely ~divier~ places that exist that give you better value for your dollar. Food: 7/10 All in all, I'd come here with an American friend to give them the cute intro to my Polish heritage. The place has cute vibes and in the end I think that's what we payed for. I did not feel the "warm love" of a place serving the true heart and center of Polish culture. Is this the real deal? Not yet. Can it be? Oh totallllllly. If they've got their dough down, they can manage to stuff their pierogi a lil more. Natives will appreciate it~ I will repeat again, the dough is impressive. I know all the mamas and ciocias and babcias be coming up to this place comparing their own to the restaurants, can't fight that, but the least that can be done is to stuff them a lil extra because the end product felt thin on thin. Decor and visual feel is a 10/10. I super appreciate the layout of the restaurant, the space between tables, the traditional polish dress, and the small relics scattered around to give a traditional polish feel. This place is CLEAN, CUTE, and very date appropriate ;) :) TLDR: The experience was super cute, super clean, and I love the restaurant's decor (although the LOT WOC poster made me a lil uncomfortable combined with the service from our waitress) and I would totally come again if someone was in need of a cute backdrop. Better service could have boosted our experience. Food left something to be desired with price and value for a Polish native, giving me the feeling that this is catered moreso to the newcomers moving into the neighborhood. read more

We come here for comfort food and that's what we get. They have a small menu but everything on it is worth a taste. I highly recommend the Bigos and the Summer Grill Bowl (they're only served on weekends). Raspberry & Sweet Cheese Pierogi are also good, for dessert. They've got a covered backyard patio for warmer days. read more

New little spot that is super cute with delicious pierogis and borscht! They give you blankets to keep you warm in the back garden area.

I've lived in Greenpoint for seven years and these are the plumpest, juiciest, most divine pierogis I've had. Ever. Also a must-try is their delicious sipping borscht! Lastly: adorable decor. 100% read more

These are the best pierogi I've ever had outside of Poland, hands down. Had the ruskie (potato and cheese) and meat pierogi on opening night and was blown away by how good and authentic they were. The ruskie were perfectly seasoned and the meat pierogi were so moist and tender, both topped off with perfectly caramelized onions. Had to come back the next day for the sweet pierogi because of the current soft opening hours and they were just as delicious. The blueberry pierogi were filled to the brim with tart and sweet blueberries, and the sweet cheese pierogi had an incredible sweet cheese filling, topped off with breadcrumbs and butter. Also took some borscht and mushroom dumplings to go as well as a meat croquette. Borscht was not the best I ever had, but still good--however, the dumplings and croquette were incredible. Overall, such an awesome, welcome addition to Greenpoint's restaurant scene! read more

As authentic as it gets! Pierozek is bringing Polish culture back to the heart of Greenpoint with their delicious variety of handmade pierogi. Beautiful space, full bar and the kindest staff. Highly recommend! read more

Pierozek was the perfect dining experience. We went in for lunch and the place had such a great ambience for any occasion. The menu was nice and simple yet still had a good selection. My friend and I got pierogis and they were amazing. I recommend the potato and cheese ones but the meat one is also good. We also got a crepe to top it all off which I enjoyed very much as well. Great food, great service, great place. read more

What a great find. Stumbled on this place while out on one of my Brooklyn walks. Who could pass up homemade pierogis?! So glad that I decided to get a couple of orders to go. These pierogis were on point. So tasty and flavorful. They surely don't skimp, the dumplings were nice and full. I got the meat and the sauerkraut and mushroom. I can't wait to go back and try the other flavors! The staff was so welcoming and pleasant too, which made the experience all the better! read more

Good service, great food, and reasonable prices. Fast and fresh pierogis. We tried Murray's cheese, sauerkraut and mushroom, Kaszanka (blood sausage), and potato & cheese. All were delicious. We highly recommend all of them. read more

The food here is made with love and care, and the staff are very fun to be around as well. I love both dining in and taking out of Pierozek, knowing that the food will be fresh regardless of which I choose. I enjoy all of the savory pierogi, especially the sauerkraut/mushroom and spinach filling. As far as sweet pierogi go, I have a penchant for the raspberry and sweet cheese pierogi. The borscht is also so full of flavor and hearty, especially if you can drink it while it's hot. I also want to shout out the owner who, when an Uber Eats order went wrong (they never picked up my order from the restaurant), called me and offered to drive my order over to me in Long Island City. When you care about your customers enough to do something like this, your business deserves to thrive. read more

Polish restaurants are quickly disappearing from Greenpoint so I am glad that Pierozek opened up. It's a cute place with Boleslawiec pottery as tableware. It's new, fresh and clean interior albeit a little narrow. It's definitely not too for large groups. The menu is small but that's all you need. A few soups, a few croquettes and crepes and glorious Pierogi. Because the menu is a small, they churn out huge quantities of dumplings that you can watch being boiled though a glass window in the dining rooms. The quality of food was excellent. We loved the potato and cheese Pierogi, sauerkraut Pierogi, mEat croquette and the barszcz. The portions and sufficient to fill up. The prices are low. This reminds me somewhat of the old school "bar mleczny" that you can still find in some Polish towns. They get our seal of approval. The only minus was that the Pierogi are only served boiled - no fried ones. That is just a minor minus aaa the boiled Pierogi come with some caramelized onions on top. read more

Went here for dinner tonight with my husband and baby. The restaurant is beautiful- very modern, but with nice Polish details. Service was friendly and quick. I had the cup of red borscht and pierogi ruskie and my husband had a bowl of red borscht with mushroom pierogi and a plate of meat pierogi. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. The pierogi ruskie were the best I've ever had, as were the meat pierogi. I also loved the garlic dill sour cream they were served with. We will definitely be back! read more

Excellent borscht and dumplings. Good service. Cute backyard. Stick with the classics and you can't go wrong. Good plateware read more

Wonderfully authentic pierogis, croquettes and borscht. This place just opened two weeks ago and now is one of my favorite go-tos. Favorites are the spinach pierogi, borscht with meet pierogis, warm blueberry sweet pierogi and the Bloody Mary topped with a mini pierogi! read more

We had a delightful lunch at Peirozek this past weekend. I'm used to Polish restaurants that serve immense portions of hearty food for reasonable prices in generally wood-filled spaces. Pierozek is not that kind of place (although their prices are reasonable): it is a lovely, light-filled space and the food that we tried was definitely on the lighter side. My friend and I both ended up ordering the same thing: borscht and pierogis, but we got different types of pierogi. The borscht was a nice surprise- I'm used to cold soup with chunks of beets, topped with sour cream. We got a hot almost consommé that tasted richly of beet, which was delightful on a chilly, rainy day. Fortunately, Pierozek allows diners to mix and match 2 types of pierogis (total of 6 per order) because we were having trouble deciding between meat filled, potatoes and cheese, mushroom, spinach, and more. We picked different types and shared. The casing was light and the stuffing on each was delicious. I think the potato, cheese, egg, scallion and bacon was my favorite, with the spinach and garlic a close second. All came with sour cream and a tangy dill sauce. Unfortunately we had an appointment in the area and couldn't try any desserts. I'll have to save that for another visit. read more

delicious and delicate pierogis. today we sampled the russian, mushroom, and tartaskie-potato, egg, dill and scallions. very good, but the overall favorite was mushroom. had to order the borscht and the summer salad was very delicious too. highly recommend. if weather allows sit in the back garden. read more

I've never sought out pierogis but I heard this place was incredible by many neighborhood families. My husband and I loved, we got the mushroom ones and potato/cheese ones, both were so filling and delicious and MY GOD that garlic sour cream sauce on the side. So delicious, although my breath is definitely kicking from the fresh garlic but well worth it. And THE VALUE, 12 bux or so for 6 super filling dumplings. My husband had a cup of the borscht and loved it. Plus they had a high chair, was very accommodating and even offered a free glass of Prosecco for international women's day today. Loved that. My husband and I can't wait to put this place in our regular rotation! read more

Stopped here for lunch yesterday and highly recommend. They are following guidelines for dining in (temp checks, spaced tables, contact tracing info documentation), and they also have a cozy back patio WITH HEATERS. Besides feeling safe, the food and service was perfect. The interior design inside also feels open and clean. My friend and I shared potato and cheese pierogis, and each got an order of galobkis. Both hit the spot and satisfied my craving for Polish food. I definitely plan on eating here again and soon. read more

I never write reviews but these were sooooo good the world needs to know. Most delicious soft, thin skin and tasty fillings. I had sauerkraut mushroom, meat and potato cheese jalapeño. Going back tomorrow... read more

Amazing food and service! Will definitely come back! Highly recommend. Authentic and delicious.

Pierożek - what a pleasant experience. Homemade food is excellent, made with care and delicious. We had red borsch - so rich, summer grill bowl - which was flavorful and filling, and all kinds of pierogies. For me, the best, are sauerkraut and mushrooms. But the sweet pierogies, blueberries and raspberries with cheese just magnified the good experience. Besides that, the decor is superb, the restaurant and bathrooms are neat, and most impressive- the dishes are served on beautiful Polish pottery, which I know is expensive. Party of 4. read more

Amazing amazing amazing pierogis. I had the cheese and potatoes and they were everything I wanted and more. The dough was perfectly chewy, the potatoes fluffy, and topped with caramelized onions. Also had the borscht which I would recommend every cold day out of the year. The atmosphere was extremely homey. The china looked like my grandmothers and there were cute plants everywhere. Service was amazing and prompt. Truly felt like a part of their family. read more

We saw the article in The NY Times and decided to check it out. The pierogis were really good. We tried all of the savory ones. The savory cheese and mushroom ones were our fave. We also tried the sweet cheese and blueberry ones, also yummy. The restaurant is really cute and bright. The staff were great. Highly recommend! read more

Now THIS is what Greenpoint is all about. A nice, warm,clean, brightly lit, spot serving mostly delicious ethnic cuisine at fair prices. Sweet young couple own and run the place. The owner runs over comp shots of delicious Soplica infused vodka to those waiting for tables.The pierogis and borscht here are first rate. The borscht comes with either dumplings or a ginormous croquette, outstanding. The pierogis are handmade, served fresh steamed, savory or sweet. Savory would be Russkie (potato and cheese) sauerkraut and mushroom, or spiced meat. Another pierogi option would be sweet, and that would come filled with fresh fruit. Both savory and sweet: superb. The only thing that needs work would be the Nalesniki (aka crepes or blintzes) which were undercooked and overstuffed with runny liquid cheese. The servers could also use a little training on setting the table and running the food etc. I'm sure these issues, commonplace in a brand new spot, will be worked out. I would advise treating the place as a "Polish Tea Room", a place to hang out and grab a snack in the "in between" hours. It would be nice if they decided to expand the menu and their hours of operation. There are certainly enough bars and clubs nearby to support that. read more

I came here after reading the article in the NYTimes. Definitely worth a visit. My date and I each ordered a savory mix so between the two of us we were able to taste the meat, spinach, sauerkraut and mushroom, and potato and cheese varieties. They were all fabulous. We started with the borscht which was also tasty. We were both stuffed by the time we left. The service was adequate. I found it to be very reasonably priced. read more
