| - Pittsburgh is rife with pierogies. If you walk outside for any reasonable length of time, somebody will throw a pierogie right in your mouth, and charge you a quarter. That's just part of living here.
We had family in from out of town, and they had never had pierogies, so I did the laziest internet search in the world, and found that Szmidt's not only had pierogies, but was the closest location on google maps!
Much like the other places along Greenfield Ave, I've been driving past Szmidt's for at least two years, never even considering whether it was a place I would ever be inside. But fortune conspired, and I found myself there on this glorious day.
It's a tiny place with very little seating, but once I smelled whatever delicious mystery meat they were cooking, I lost all sense of space and time. We ordered some sandwiches, and some old world pierogies, but...what's that other stuff? New world pierogies? Are you mad? Who would ever want one of those...I'll take 6.
You will probably have a similar thought process.
The sandwiches are huge, and messy, and quite possibly the best I've ever had in the city. Each sandwich is special, because the final step in its creation is that a unicorn with a sparkling tail gives each sandwich a gentle kiss as it leaves the kitchen, thereby rendering said sandwich magical.
Or at least that's what I imagined as I ate my sandwich so hard that I only paused to gasp for air.
Oh, right, and we got pierogies. Some traditional potato and cheese, and some buffalo chicken ones as well. If anybody wants to challenge me to a pierogie eating contest, let's do it here, because Unicorn Kissed Pierogies (tm) are amazing.
So everybody who loves sandwiches, pierogies and magic should come to this place and just go to town. I honestly don't even know if this place is real, so I didn't check the hours.
