I’ll never forget the first time I bit into a perfectly crimped pierogi in Delaware. The buttery potato filling melted in my mouth, and I thought, why doesn’t everyone know about this place?
Turns out, Delaware hides some of the best pierogi spots on the East Coast, tucked away in church basements, food trucks, and cozy kitchens where grandmothers still roll dough by hand.
These aren’t your frozen supermarket sad sacks—these are the real deal, made with love and secret family recipes that have been passed down for generations.
Pure Pierogi (Lewes)
Walking into Pure Pierogi feels like stepping into your Polish grandmother’s kitchen, except she’s selling her creations to the public. Owner Chef Danusia hand-makes every single pierogi, and you can taste the difference immediately. Her potato and cheese variety is legendary, but don’t sleep on the sauerkraut and mushroom option either…
