Making a meal from scratch requires quite a bit of time, and we don't always have that time. We don't have to worry, though, because living in a foodie state like Pennsylvania means finding whatever we're craving not too far from home - especially when it comes to pierogies. Feast on some of the best handmade pierogies in Pennsylvania at The Pierogie Kitchen, and grab some for later, too.

A stroll along Roxborough Avenue in Philadelphia will lead you straight to The Pierogie Kitchen, an adorable shop that's known for its delicious Eastern European eats.
The main attraction of the shop is, of course, its homemade pierogies, which are made from scratch each day. That's no easy feat, either, as the pieorgie-making process includes 16 steps.
Founder and owner Marie Thorpe follows the pierogie recipe her grandmother once used, ensuring all of the ingredients are the freshest possible.
A takeout-only restaurant, The Pierogie Kitchen dishes up meals you can just take home and eat. Or, choose the frozen hand-pinched pierogies that require heating up once you're home.
Once you've decided what size (6, 12, or 24) pierogie dish to order, you might have a bit of a dilemma. What flavors will you try?
The menu features all of the classics, including potato cheddar and farmer's cheese. If you're up for a flavor that's a bit more daring, try the Philly cheesesteak, the loaded baked potato, or the mushroom potato horseradish.
The Pierogie Kitchen also dishes up several other Eastern European favorites - haluski and homemade stuffed cabbage, for example.
Be sure to stock up on frozen traditional and gourmet pierogies, too, which are available by the half dozen or the dozen.
Find days, hours, and a menu on The Pierogie Kitchen website. Or, stop by its Facebook page.
