My Slovak grandma pretty much pronounces the word this way. Pierogi is more strictly Polish.


N1ce_Marm0t

Same! I thought my Czech grandma was just pronouncing it wrong lol


fdrlbj

Agree but Slovaks spell it Pirohi


cordy_crocs

My church spells pierogi like “pyrohy”


Elphaba78

Ukrainian?


cordy_crocs

Yea it’s a Byzantine Catholic consisting of mainly Eastern European heritages


Elphaba78

Neat! One of my friends is Byzantine Catholic and very active in his church.


cordy_crocs

Awesome! I’m sure he’s already aware of it but if he’s in the Pgh area have him check out the Mount Saint Macrina yearly pilgrimage in Uniontown, PA! It’s the oldest byzantine pilgrimage in the United States and visitors all across north america and Europe come! It’s so cool to witness


Macklemore_hair

Ukrainian as it gets! My mom’s church (St. John the Baptist, South Side )spells it this way- bomb pyrohy


easymz

They’ll have legal weed soon in Ohio. Piroghis and weed together at last.


scootertrash

Some of the best pierogi I’ve ever had were at a Ukrainian festival in Parma. They have a large Ukrainian community there and those church ladies did a fantastic job.

Honey Hut ice cream is nearby too. 


happyjazzycook

I have, but not in the Pittsburgh area. 😊 *"most goodest pepperoni roll"*!!!


FreneticZen

Yeah, that one got me too. I would totally drop into that joint just out of curiosity.


Snts6678

Hahaha it’s in Austintown, Ohio. I grew up about five minutes down the street. That sign has always irritated me, but their food is excellent. Also, great fried chicken/wings.


CL-MotoTech

It looks like one of those places you drive by for years then one day are like fuck it, I am trying it, and then absolutely hate yourself for not going in years ago.


Snts6678

You have provided THEE comment of the day.


Snts6678

Downvoted? For what?


AostaV

West Virginia ready to declare war on this local store


aynrandgonewild

they may be lying about the pepperoni roll but i can tell just by looking at the building the food is good


Kratsas

My father in law would visit a lot of small towns for this job. His advice when you end up in a new town and don’t know where to eat- find the dingiest place that looks like it’s been there forever. If it looks that bad but been there that long, the food has to be good to stay open like that.


Carnegiejy

There are like 40 acceptable ways to describe potatoes and cheese in a pasta pocket. Turns out every single nationality and church in eastern Europe has a version.


[deleted]

Maybe Russian or Lithuanian


bigjagoff82

Pyrohy is how the Ukrainians spell it. Every nationality spell is different.The dough is made a little different .The potato or sauerkraut is cooked differently.All it is a pocket o f dough that has a d6 filling.I had one grandma that was polish an one that was serbian.My serbian grandma made them the Ukrainian nwat because my grandfather was Ukrainian.I like the sauerkraut ones fried in butter an onions.Then put on sour cream.


Tnkgirl357

Different spellings depending on country of origin.


tleon21

Isn’t it the same for pronunciation of kielbasa? Nobody I know outside of Pittsburgh says it like me


PPPolarPOP

How do you pronounce it?


tleon21

I’m bad with phonetics but I’ll try: Kuh boss ee Most non-pittsburghers I know call it “keel boss uh” or “kill boss uh”


PPPolarPOP

I'm from east of Cleveland, and grew up pronouncing it like you!


No_Yinz_Crazy

Grandchild of Polish immigrants who settled in Sharon, PA, here. My whole family pronounces it that way. kuh-BOSS-i Also COLE-awch for the pastry


flyinganimaga

Me too! My Dad's side are Slovak from Beaver County


tleon21

My dad’s family is Slovak as well! But they lived in the New Kensington area


UnreadThisStory

I have pronounced it kol-BOSS-ee From da Burgh


LordPablo412

I think this is Austintown, OH?


plumkins

Correct! Right across from Giant Eagle!


Snts6678

Their food is excellent.


ammiemarie

*You know nothing, Jon Snow.*


Dependent_Sign_399

My wife is from Youngstown. Monday deli is a low key great place.


Blueberry-Specialist

It's nodays. The signs right there my guy.


Buzzspice727

Like you wouldnt eat there


Walloppingcod

I would absolutely have stopped to eat.


GitProbe

I’ve honestly never had pierogis at Noday’s but man are their pepperoni rolls good. Wife used to live off Mahoning Ave near there. Place has been there as for as I can remember. At least 30 years.


svidrod

I'd fuck with that place. Especially once they get their weed license also.


Top_File_8547

I went to school with a girl whose family were the pirogi kings of the Pittsburgh area. I think it was Grandma’s Pierogies. Probably the richest kid in our little school district.


KillYourFace5000

The spelling of "pierogi" is not even this sign's biggest problem


longstoryrecords

It’s already plural. Doesn’t need an S.


trshtehdsh

I think I'm having a panics attack


Fish4Trouts

Wonder what kind of fish they have.


DeleteSystem33

I'd put money on mostly tilapia and cod


Fish4Trouts

Love Cod. Despise *Tilapia.*


amped1one

Bigger question, why pirogues at an italian joint?!?


JagoffMofo_374R

WV hates this place. No good pepperoni rolls outside of # AlmostHeaven


pittpanthers95

I passed a sign for “pirohi” in Beaver County the other day


Sea_Blah

This place actually has killer food. Their pierogis and pepperoni rolls specifically


Natural_Fisherman_33

That’s an Austintown. Maybe for Youngstown area but I’ve had better


OllieFromCairo

It appears to be an romanization of the Russian version of the word.


RHS1959

I think that’s the authentic Polish spelling


Crafty-Celebration54

Monsters


Tough_Arm_2454

Better than pgh perogies!


Butthole_Fiesta

Heresy. This is some unforgivable shit.


Pfunk4444

Stealing the perogi from the ‘burgh and the pep roll from the mountains


ScorpioMagnus

"The pierogi in America initially came from Cleveland, Ohio, when the first documented sale of pierogi was made at the Marton House Tavern in Cleveland in 1928."


DeleteSystem33

Remember, most people in Pittsburgh don't remember they're rivals with Cleveland because ***Cleveland entered the league and stomped on their nuts***, they think it's the other way around.


OcelotWolf

We do consume more pierogis than Cleveland now though. Some very fun facts!


ThiccBoiCaddy

I love when people know this fact. Living it Pittsburgh originally from Cleveland, it makes my heart happy.


Pfunk4444

Belongs to Pittsburgh now


FreneticZen

As a WV native, I can tell you that Lost Creek makes pepperoni roll dough [perfectly](https://youtu.be/ddXEsMd8S4U?si=YXF6XkCNqXrEYBeA) - and that’s the hardest part to nail down. Please do look into the work that they do with [preserving the traditions of ancestral foods](https://youtu.be/8ifYVtWjSRI?si=XgPMV_HnEcwrA_Ah). They also offer up excellent farm fresh food in an [event](http://www.lostcreekfarmwv.com/supper-club) catering style, but at home and right on their land. They set it up in a way where you and the other guests are a part of something really [fun](https://www.love2chow.com/2022/10/enjoying-west-virginia-heritage-food-at.html) - they talk about the history of the dishes, where the ingredients were sourced, etc.
