We built this ranking from each kitchen's own website and posted menu, checked on October 30 and 31, rather than from tastings. For every pick we compared the pierogi actually listed today: fillings, how they are finished, portion or platter size, posted price where one exists, and the hours you can order them. The order rewards places where pierogi are a named, house-made dish with a detail no one else on the list shares, and it ranks a bar side lower than a kitchen built around dumplings. Seven spots made it, from a Brewery District dive bar to a Westerville pre-order shop. We did not visit, call or taste for this update; anything we could not confirm on an owner page was cut.
Gresso's Famous Pierogies come from the owner's mother's recipe: potato and cheese pockets finished with sauteed mushrooms and onions, garlic butter and sour cream. The same dumpling also rides on top of the Huggie Bear Burger, a bacon, mushroom and Swiss stack the menu ties to the family's hometown of Wheeling, West Virginia. The bar describes 961 S High St as a historic building that pairs dive-bar energy with from-scratch cooking. Doors open at 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and at 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
