    So good - kielbasa, cucumber salad, spatzel, cabbage. I love good Polish food and was excited to try this location. The Haluska platter is super good too. The decor took me back to my grammas house growing up. She had the same table with similar chairs and water glasses with orange trees on them. You get water self serve and variety of glasses to choose. The seating is cozy and it's a great place to try different options. They had many platter options and a few gluten free choices. The food was delicious and I truly pictured my gramma cooking and making all these foods we loved growing up.

    Platters!

    Look, I'm warning you now. They're busy. They're small. You will wait for a table. You will wait for your food. And you should NOT complain about it. This was a perfect meal - lattice cut kielbasa with perfectly smooth horseradish and mustard seed. Haluski with spaetzle noodles. Pillowly soft, yet gently fried pierogi. Tender and flavorful golobki (pigs in the blanket. And lemon poppy seed Bundt cake (special dessert). And more... Worth every minute in their quaint little restaurant.

    This place deserves 6 stars! We walked into the restaurant on a whim one Saturday afternoon and tried their sample platter and pierogis. Wow! Everything is mouthwateringly delicious and really fairly priced. My wife and I plus our toddler left stuffed all for under $50! We even tried a fantastic grape drink. I can't recall the name. Service was prompt and friendly. The restaurant is adorable inside with all kinds of kitschy decor. Very open and sunny. Can't wait to go back!

    Wow wow wow is the first thing that comes to mind! This place is adorable from the street and that theme flows right on inside as well. We were promptly greeted and all questions answered. After having eaten Polish food at various points through my entire life, I can say with great certainty that this was the best I ever had! The on-special soup was so good I immediately said I needed some to go. The food was so good, I immediately told multiple people they had to go. Best of all, the owner and staff were incredibly kind! Can't wait to go back!

    I stopped in for lunch on a weekday and found it popping! I had hoped to dine in and place Hub's order to go while I ate, but alas the tables were limited. The wait would have been 20 minutes for a table so I placed it to go, which ended up seeming faster as I got my food before the couple who was in front of me (who chose to dine in). I got the special that day which included pork loin (nicely cooked) and haluski (good mix of cabbage and onion with lots of flavor). Hubs enjoyed his kielbasa. The beet salad was fine but not let's order again. Overall, fun vibes in a small space. Friendly staff and solid food.

    Polska Laska is soo unreal. I went for the second time earlier this week and it was excellent. The kielbasa and spetzle were so delicious. The spetzle was really buttery and the cabbage was really flavorful. The kielbasa was cooked perfectly! The decor is elite polish grandma vibes. Such a good spot.

    Polska Laska is absolutely fantastic! Everything tasted incredibly fresh and homemade. The pierogi dough was perfectly soft and chewy, beautifully braided at the ends. They offer rotating weekly specials, and during our visit we tried the vegan Cowboy pierogi which was out of this world. It was filled with vegan cream cheese, peppers, and potato, and packed with flavor. I think the best option is to get the sample platter because you get to try a little bit of everything. The homemade golobski (stuffed cabbage rolls) were so good too. I could have had two whole ones myself. The service was quick and seamless. You order at the counter and they bring the dishes to your table. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but it's charming, cozy, and full of vibrant character. I can't wait to come back for more!

    Their pierogies are SO good!

    Small & quaint, Polska Laska is tucked away in the middle of Sharpsburg. When I arrived to the restaurant, there was a line out the door even though the restaurant just opened. All the seats were taken, too. The line went quickly and we found a seat right away. The place is small and cute and has the cutest mismatched decor. Most of us tried either the pierogies or the platter that they had, and everything tasted delicious. It's comfort food at its finest! I love that they have a Pierogi special, which makes me want to come in for my favorites but also try something new. You cannot go wrong with anything at Polska Laska. I will be back again and again!

    This place is seriously so cute and I love the pierogies here! The aesthetic is grandma cutesy and I love it. Love that they have vegan options since I don't eat cheese. The vegan golobki was good and all my friends loved their food! Great spot for lunch! Love that you can grab a coffee from Redhawk and come here for a bite. The owners and staff were nice and I like the system where you order at the counter and they'll bring your food out. It's so cozy and homey in here. They also do specials like soup and dessert too! Will have to definitely come back!

    One of my favorite restaurants in PGH - it's that good! You can tell love goes into the dishes. The old school feel transports you back to your grandma's kitchen. It's small so you will likely have to wait for a table or sit outside. These are the best pierogies you'll find in the city; I enjoy pierogies plus and these beat them by a mile! The haluski is TO DIE FOR. Keep an eye out for their special pierogies! I've had nashville hot chicken, butternut sage squash, and pot roast. The chicken ones were the best! You also can't go wrong with their classic ruskie pierogie with cheese and bacon.

    I've heard such great things of Polska Laska and finally had a chance to visit on a Friday off. Nestled in a corner in Sharpsburg, the restaurant is small but very cozy and inviting. I ordered the farmer's cheese pierogies, haluski, and cucumber salad w/dill and they all couldn't have been more delicious. The haluski in particular was by far the best I've ever had. Don't wait like I did to get here!

    This adorable Polish diner lives up to the hype! I got the Polska Platter with potato & cheese pierogis, kielbasa, haluski, kapusta, pickle, and I added a side of homemade applesauce! Everything was insanely good! Definitely the best pierogis, haluski, and kielbasa I've ever had! I tried one of my family friend's farmer's cheese & herb pierogis and loved it! Also it was a HUGE amount of food, so I had leftovers for later! You can really tell how much love goes into making the food. 10/10 recommend this spot. FYI definitely try to get there right when they open. We got there 2 min after they opened and there was already a handful of people in there! It's a small space so tables fill up quick!

    A friend who was visiting for the weekend had never had pierogis. A Yelp search led us here & I am so glad it did. The small cafe was bustling with activity and seems to have quite the take out business, too. We had to wait a bit for a table, but it was worth the wait. The staff was apologetic and friendly, hospitable and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious and the platter was plenty of food for two.

Fantastic vibe in there as well, cool lighting (although something from up above kept falling). It's a highly acclaimed place for a reason. I got to try their beet soup (borscht), tea, potato pancake, and rice pudding dessert. The menu changes decently consistently I believe, and I did visit a little while ago, for notice. The food was very tasty. Huge potato pancake that was cooked perfectly with a nice topping of what I can only describe as vegan sour cream and some sort of very flavorful vegetables. I quite liked it, surprisingly tasty and creamy topping. Now the borscht, which I tend to be picky with, was just okay. The number one detractor for the borscht was the salt level. The food is just far, far too salty (the pancake was pretty salty too). Other than that, quite good. Love the side of rye. The dessert was very good. Surprisingly light. Came with a little caramelized baked fruit on top (apple/pear, something like that). Rice was reasonably creamy and very flavorful. So good! All in all, a nice spot for a nice dinner. Especially great for vegans. However, the food did taste too salty for my liking.

The owner (the lady) sat with us and talked to us and all the other diners, making jokes and just generally having a good time. She was very cool. The ambiance is so very nice, very Hungarian. Now the food: I tried the goulash, Lagos, chicken soup, chicken paprikas, and a cherry strudel. Most of the food was excellent. Both the soups were outstanding. Well seasoned. The chicken soup was filled with interesting noodles and was very warm, and the goulash had tender meat and flavorful broth. The langos was pretty interesting and well made too, but not my favorite. It's a street food, like a fried bread with some toppings like sour cream and cheese. It tasted a little bland and a tad oily, but the sour cream was a nice addition. The main course, the chicken paprikas, was also quite good. The chicken was pretty tender, I believe a mix of dark and white meat. The sauce is quite nice, and again the sour cream works really well here. The noodles are also very well made, very authentic. Finally, for dessert, I had the cherry strudel. I absolutely loved it, so much so that I almost forgot to take a picture (ate immediately)! Filled to the brim with cherries, soup, sweet, and perfect. Good size and fair price. Highly recommend.

For apps we tried the langos ($10) and potato pancake ($12.95). You really can't go wrong with fried dishes here... each dish was so crispy with the toasty aroma that deep fried foods have. Even though they were topped with only 1 ring of red onion, it was the perfect amount to add a zesty kick without overpowering the dish. We got the chicken paprikas ($16.95), stewed beef ($18.95), and puszta steak ($18.95) for entrees. This is when I realized that our dishes were super similar. The chicken paprikas and stewed beef had a similar texture and flavor profile, and were both served with dumplings. The puszta steak was covered with the potato pancake and fried, so it had a very similar vibe to the apps we had earlier. No complaints about the dishes, though-- I'd recommend the chicken paprikas or stewed beef if you enjoy tomatoey, bell pepper-forward flavors. The dumplings were tender and absorbed a lot of the stewy sauce. If you enjoy fried foods, or want to try the potato pancake and an entree but are limited on stomach space/budget, the puszta steak is a perfect choice that will give the same crispy vibe as the potato pancake with an added protein bonus.

Flavors of pierogies include potato, potato cheese, potato bacon, potato sauerkraut, sauerkraut, lekvar prune, potato cheese jalapeno, cottage cheese, spinach ricotta, spinach feta, roast beef, sausage, cheese pepperoni, buffalo chicken, and some seasonal flavors.

Many of the foods are available as either hot/ready-to-eat for dine-in or cold/frozen for takeout. For over a decade, I have bought foods from their location in Wexford, and I recently tried this location in Moon Township for the first time. Two employees spoke little English, but they promptly and politely served me. The interior of the restaurant has no seating, and the outside has one small table with two chairs, so this restaurant is mostly takeout. I rate the potato-cheese pierogies and the kielbasa as 5 stars. I rate the haluski, stuffed pepper, and stuffed cabbage as 4 stars.
