Frequently asked questions
What is a Pierogi? Pierogi vs Pierogis?!
-First of all, fun fact: “Pierogi” is plural. The word “pierogies” doesn’t actually exist. The singular form of the word would be “Pieróg”, but no one uses that either because NO ONE EVER EATS JUST ONE- you have several Pierogi. :)
-Now for our WGP definition:
Pierogi
/piˈrōɡē/
Noun
-
Small pockets of love stuffed with savory or dessert filling, cooked by boiling first and (if preferred) pan frying until crispy.
-
Polish dumpling best served w/ onions, sour cream, and a smile. :)
What's the difference between FRESH and FROZEN Pierogi?
FRESH Pierogi as listed on our menu means fully cooked, (No need to boil again!) cold, REFRIGERATED Pierogi: pick them up and reheat within the next couple of days.
FROZEN Pierogi are also fully cooked (No need to boil again!), packaged in our lovely silver bags, ready to be thawed and reheated at your convenience!
Short answer: FRESH = COLD. FROZEN = COLDER.
Why is it called Wheelie Good Pierogi?
Christina’s original vision was to create a mobile Food Truck with her Pierogi - during the hunt for a commissary kitchen to supply the goods for the truck, she came across the location in Rahway. Too good of a spot to pass up, the decision was made (after branding commenced) to open the store front location first and have the truck roll in later! Also, we’re Wheelie corny.
Is the owner Polish?
Yes- Made in the US with 100% Polish parts.
Do you offer Vegan/Gluten Free Pierogi?
Our dough is 100% Vegan so choose based on filling flavors for that category.
We do not currently carry Gluten Free however it is on our long list of future things to do!
Do you use real Potatoes/Mushrooms?
Always! We prefer Golden Spuds. & truthfully, we wouldn’t know where to buy pretend mushrooms anyway.
