Famed Seattle piroshky bakery pops up in Houston as part of Texas-wide tour
A Seattle bakery is coming to Houston for a special pop-up: Piroshky Piroshky Bakery, which specializes in handmade piroshki, (aka Russian hand pies), will stop in the Bayou City as part of a national tour.
The bakery will be at Elks Lodge, 10150 W Airport Blvd., Stafford, this Saturday, October 7, from 5-7 pm, with luscious offerings, both savory and sweet.
Piroshkis are small pies of Russian origin, made from an enriched yeast dough, with savory fillings like meat, vegetables, or cheese, the most traditional being meat and rice or potato and onion.
Piroshky Piroshky Bakery was founded in Seattle in 1992, and offer their pastries in all sorts of delectable fillings: from beef & cheese to cabbage & onion to vegan-friendly mushroom & potato. They make other pastries, as well.
Their piroshky are individually made from scratch and hand-formed into unique shapes that help differentiate the flavors and fillings inside.
The company has five locations across Seattle, and also sells their products online. Their original location at Seattle's Pike Place Market serves more than 20 varieties.
But they also make annual tours, just like a rock band, to bring their goods to towns across the U.S. They last came through Texas in November 2022.
The tour features options such as:
- Smoked salmon pate piroshky
- Beef & onion piroshy
- Impossible beef & onion piroshky
- Ham, spinach, & cheese piroshky
- Potato & cheese piroshky
- Veggie chipotle piroshky
- Chocolate cream hazelnut roll
- Cinnamon cardamom braid
- Pumpkin toffee braid
- Caraway cheddar cheese stick
- Poppy seed cinnamon roll
The full menu is online, and pre-ordering is required. The cutoff order date for Houston is October 5 at 4 pm. There's a minimum of $50; individual items run between $5.25 to $7.25.
In addition to Houston, they're also making three other stops in Texas:
