What does just about every Pittsburgher love? Pierogies! If you’ve not yet had a pierogi meal from Pierogies Plus, make it a point to do so this year. Founded and run by Helen Mannarino from Poland, the restaurant promises pierogis made from scratch. Opt for the traditional pierogis, such as potato and cheddar.
