The owner of Pierogies Plus touts that if you want more authentic pierogies, you’ll have to go to Warsaw or Krakow, Poland.

Helen Mannarino opened Pierogies Plus 16 years ago in an old gas station on Island Avenue in McKees Rocks, Pa., just outside of Pittsburgh. Pierogies are ravioli-like pasta filled with potatoes, meat, cheese or other stuffing.

Mannarino began making pierogies when she was a young girl growing up in Warsaw, Poland, and continued making the stuffed dumplings after immigrating to the United States more than 30 years ago.
