It’s easy to get tired of the typical late night snacks. Hamburgers. Pizza. Burritos. But it’s 3 a.m. and you want something a little more interesting.
A different late night snack has arrived in Lawrence: pierogies—though it is a new late night snack that takes some forethought.
A pierogie is a dumpling stuffed with a variety of fillings spanning from the traditional breakfast burrito to apple pie to a meat lovers pizza. They’re now made locally by The Pieroguys.
“We want to appeal to college students,” says Frank Gazella Jr., Pieroguys owner. “It’s different than any other late night food in town. We want to start a new tradition in Lawrence with this food.”
Buy them frozen, take them home, and then cook them in whatever fashion suits you—frying, boiling, baking or microwaving.
“Pierogies are a popular food in northeast Pennsylvania,” Gazella said. “I transferred here for school and was out late one night with a bunch of my buddies when I wanted something to eat. I said I wanted a pierogie. None of them knew what that was.”
This is not to label a pierogie as only a snack. They’re workable into most any meal. “They are good for everything. Great side dish, appetizer, late night food, snack or entrée,” said Gazella.
I had them recently and my only word of advice is to serve them with sauce. Otherwise they’re a little too dry for anyone’s taste.
