Cop Out Pierogies

Visiting from Los Angeles, got recommended this place from a friend. AMAZING! My favorite thing I ate all trip! One of those places I'll stop every time I come to Pittsburgh. Also, the staff and owners are so nice and friendly, makes it feel even more special to come in. Food here is made with love, and very special

4.5 stars. Cop Out Pierogies was founded about a decade ago by the former police officer Carl. The restaurant serves pierogies in a variety of flavors: potato and cheese, potato and sauerkraut, sauerkraut, potato-cheese-jalapeno, macaroni and cheese, breakfast, buffalo chicken, cheeseburger, lekvar, chicken marsala, chicken parmesan, cottage cheese, gyro, sausage, pepperoni pizza, pepper but, potato-bacon-sauerkraut, reuben, shrimp-grits-bacon, spinach-feta, sweet potato, a few dessert flavors, etcetera. The restaurant also serves other Eastern European foods such as haluski, stuffed cabbage, potato pancakes, and Chrusciki cookies. Customers may order hot or frozen foods either in person or through the delivery website Insider Eats. I ordered several of Cop Out's foods through Insider Eats. The hot foods arrived hot, and the frozen foods arrived frozen. I thought that everything--the Polish potato pancakes, the haluski, the sauerkraut pierogies, the potato-cheese pierogies, the lekvar pierogies, and the Bavarian-cream pierogies--were very fresh and tasted very good. Three of my grandparents were Eastern European, so I grew up eating pierogies, haluski, and stuffed cabbage. I enjoy my family members' foods a bit more, but Cop Out's foods are a solid choice from a restaurant.

I grew up eating authentic PA pierogies, smother on the butter & onions- stuff with classic & unique ingredients-serve crisped & crunchy- so when visiting Pittsburg, I was excited to discover they were known for their pierogis- we had actually planned to dine at a different pierogi joint, but when we arrived we were dismayed by the lack of stuffing choices & so decided to look elsewhere & discovered Cop Out; so glad we didn't miss out on dining here! the customer service was absolutely fantastic- overwhelmed by the choices, Carl helped make recommendations & even offered to mix and match some leftovers to give me variety- we opted for the classic potato & sauerkraut and pepper butt- (pay by cash or use a venmo QR code)the pierogies were huge! 14 in a serving they were cooked in butter, oil, onions-crispy crunchy charred outside, warm fluffy dough soft inside, stuffed with ample ingredients- after eating the first one I told my husband we are absolutely getting some to go! (we got more pepper butt & hellish-haven't tried yet)highly highly recommend- homemade, delicious, authentic (& well priced)

This place was good, I prefer my Pierogies to be a bit more embellished, crispy and more strongly seasoned, but they weren't bad. They have gluten free options which is pretty cool. One of the workers was handing out desert pierogies, I think they were strawberry cheesecake, and they were so freaking delicious! I do wish they had different sizing options and a more comprehensive description of what was in each pierogi. Bc on the menu some of the names were kind of vague. I was kind of disappointed that all the pierogies were frozen not fresh, especially for the price.

Love this quaint little well loved establishment. The owner and staff were all very friendly and welcoming. While we waited for our order of potato and cheese pierogies we were given apple salted caramel bourbon pierogies to sample. They were AMAZING!!! The person helping us said her favorite special flavor is the pumpkin pierogies and that they would be coming out again soon. We were just in town to see our beloved Steelers but now we have another reason to come back to the Burgh!!!

Our family of 7 was beyond happy and FULL (with some leftovers) by sharing 3 orders of pierogies and 1 order of potato pancakes. One of the workers generously let us sample the dessert pierogies.....(insert drool here). Most in our group had never even had pierogies before and these did not disappoint. Each of us had our favorites but there was not one style that didn't end up with a cheerleader. One serving is 14 pierogies and they were perfect- not too doughy and perfectly seasoned. For locals, they have all flavors ready in pre packaged frozen bags wirh easy to follow cookimg directions.They staff treated us as family and were so friendly. They gave us great tips for reheating our leftovers. I wish we had found the place sooner so I could come back to try more flavors! They prefer paying via cash but also offer Venmo, have an ATM on site or offer credit for a slight up charge.

The potato cheddar jalapeño pierogies are a must!! I loved all the onions it came with as well. The potato pancake was good from getting it to go though it was a little soggy. The haluski was also good.

Don't let the monochromatic nature of Polish food fool you, Cop Out Pierogies is delicious! I ordered a bunch of things from them and loved everything. The pierogies (both dessert and hot) were packed to the brim and the potato pancakes were delightfully crispy. I also really enjoyed how flavorful the stuffed cabbage and the haluski were! But if you're looking for healthy, be aware that this place is not the place for you. There was butter and/or oil pooled at the bottom of my pierogi container and leaking out into the takeout plastic bag but that made popping leftovers in the air fryer later very easy. I've been to the storefront itself once and it's a tiny hole in the wall place that can be easy to miss. You're definitely going there for the food and not the vibes. From what I remember, there's super limited seating and I would recommend getting everything to go and eating it elsewhere because of that. The service was friendly and speedy which is always a plus.

This establishment has great pierogies and you won't regret visiting during their operating hours....better hurry...when I was there the owner who cooks all the pierogies was planning to retire!

Excellent! We went for the first time after hearing about them for years since we moved to Pittsburgh. The people who own it are some of the sweetest people we've ever had the pleasure of meeting. They went out of their way to accommodate me, my husband, our 2 small girls and my cousin. We had ordered a lot of food so they brought over a separate small table so that we could put some of it on that and not have our table too crowded while we were eating. They gave us some of their delicious dessert pierogis and they gave the girls coloring books and a stuffed animal each. My 3 year old told them that "it was the best food ever!" and was so happy that she gave them hugs. The pierogis we THE BEST we've ever had and the experience was, by far, one of the best we've ever had. 1,000/10. HIGHLY RECOMMEND giving this wonderful couple your business.
