Salt Lake City, get ready! On September 21st, the renowned Seattle-based bakery Piroshky Piroshky will make a special appearance at Saltfire Brewing Co., offering a taste of its famous Eastern European-inspired pies. Known for their handcrafted creations that have caught the eye of culinary icons like Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern, to name a few, this one-day preorder pickup event is not to be missed.
Founded as a modest woman-owned enterprise, Piroshky Piroshky has grown from its humble beginnings at Seattle’s Pike Place Market into a nationally recognized brand. The bakery has thrived under the guidance of an entrepreneurial spirit, expanding its reach to multiple states and sharing the rich flavors of Eastern Europe with a broad audience.
Piroshky Piroshky offers a culinary adventure unlike any other. Their pies, a delightful array of savory and sweet options, are meticulously handcrafted, ensuring each bite tells a story of tradition and craftsmanship. Their unique approach has garnered a dedicated following; I’ve been known to go out of my way any time I’m in Seattle to make a stop, and led to features on prominent food shows such as Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations” and Andrew Zimmern’s “Zimmern List” on the Travel Channel. Furthermore, Smithsonian Magazine has recognized Piroshky Piroshky as one of “The 20 Most Iconic Food Destinations Across America.”
Thanks to a collaboration with Salt Fire Brewing, the upcoming event in Salt Lake City promises to be more accessible for bakery fans without the need to travel to Pike Place Market. This exciting partnership reflects a shared commitment to providing top-notch culinary experiences and will surely enhance the local food scene.
The event at Saltfire Brewing Co. has become semi-regular, with Piroshky Piroshky staging at Salt Fire once a quarter. Customers are invited to preorder their favorite piroshki to ensure they don’t miss out on this rare opportunity. There’s a pie for every palate, from seasoned beef and cheese to sweet apple cinnamon rolls. My personal favorite is the cabbage piroshky, but I have never been disappointed by any of their wares.
JD, the PR specialist at Piroshky Piroshky, shared his enthusiasm about the event, stating, “We are thrilled to bring our passion for piroshky to Salt Lake City. It’s an opportunity for us to connect with our fans in Utah and share a piece of our heritage through our lovingly crafted pies.”
JD also advises: “If you want to snag some piroshky, be sure to place your order at least two days before pick-up. We tend to sell out fast, so it’s a good idea to get your order in as soon as you can.” Orders can be placed through Piroshky Piroshky’s Salt Lake City event page.
The decision to bring Piroshky Piroshky to Salt Lake City stems from the city’s growing food scene and the warm reception to previous visits. “The community here has always been welcoming, and we’ve felt a strong connection with the city’s vibrant culture,” JD explained. This event marks a continuation of the bakery’s mission to spread joy and deliciousness wherever they go.
Piroshky Piroshky’s visit to Salt Lake City is not just a chance to try out some of the best pies in the nation; it’s an opportunity to engage in cultural exchange and celebrate the diversity of flavors that Eastern European cuisine has to offer. I’ve been known to travel for food; now it’s traveling to us. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a curious newcomer, this event promises to deliver a memorable experience. Don’t miss out—join us to celebrate a day of great food, culture, and community.
