Pierogies are much more common in the northern part of the state near Pittsburgh - so much so that there was actually a small restaurant dedicated to them in Wheeling.



For the Love of Pierogies opened in Centre Market, slinging the Polish dumplings, as well as fresh pasta, sauerkraut, kielbasa and more. Unfortunately, they have closed since my visit, but I wanted to share a little bit about the food anyway.



The main flavors they offered were potato and onion, potato and cheddar, and potato and sauerkraut. I opted for the onion, and they were quite tasty. A nice little golden brown crisp, a thick, whipped filling = a satisfying bite. Though I do wish there was some sort of dipping sauce to go with it. Sour cream? Applesauce? Both? Just a touch dry, so a sauce would've helped it out.
