I found this place on accident and thank god I did. I stumbled upon this gem of a pierogi establishment. Forgotten Taste specializes in takeout and catering, geared for people to stop by on there way home from work. You can purchase either hot & ready to eat or frozen. I know the pierogies are made in the shop, but I wasn’t sure if they are all frozen first, or the hot & ready are truly fresh.
Filling Options
The twelve pierogi options on their menu were available, and range from potato to pork to prune. I don’t think I will ever eat a prune pierogi. I selected potato & cheese and potato & bacon to take home in their frozen state. Still no love for my spinach & meat. The prices range from $6.75 – $9.25 per dozen with the average around $8.00. In my opinion, anything over $8.00 is too high, so the pricing average to a bit disappointing and they lose a point for that. Overall, the filling options were solid, but not terribly exciting. The potato & cheese flavor is above average because they use colby.
Accessories
This is where they shine. Do you want butter & onions or tomato sauce? no problem…. How about haluski, goulash, glumpki, kielbasa, desert, or any combination of the above? Did you want that frozen or ready to eat? Did you want that catered? Perfect.
Taste
Nothing in particular stands about when it comes to the taste or texture, this is a solid package. The filling has perfectly blended and proportional to the dough. These pierogies are one of the best, without a doubt. I don’t know how better to word this, but I would say its a pierogi with a universal taste.
My favorite so far with Pierogies Plus right behind.

just purchased a dozen cheese/potato, and 1/2 doz sauerkraut frozen. When I got home and opened the bag, – first the perogies were in mere zip lock bags, (not professionaly wrapped) and they did not have the freeze date on them. One of the sauerkraut had freezerburn and 3 of the potato/cheese were likewise freezerburned. If I had lived closer, I probably would have taken them back, but due to distance, it wasnt worth the trip. Thumbs down. The product actually smelled “old” frozen. What a dissapointment. I would not recommend these. I think they sold me “old product”. The date they were frozen really should have been on the bad. I never thought to inspect the product , do should I have had to – especially from expected a small local business.

If they havent sold, there should come a point where the product is checked, or disposted of – not passed off as fresh frozen.
