World Vegetarian Day
Did you know that approximately 10% of the world’s population is vegetarian?
October 1st is World Vegetarian Day. This special day promotes vegetarianism’s joy, compassion, and life-enhancing possibilities.
So what are the benefits of being a vegetarian? For one, you get to eat delicious food like Piroshky Piroshky!
Our bakery is famous for its meatless pies, and they’re worth celebrating on World Vegetarian Day. But that’s not all – being a vegetarian can also be good for your health!
Studies have shown that vegetarians tend to have lower rates of heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. So if you’re looking for a reason to try a meat-free diet, October 1 is the perfect day to start!
Pierogi Day!
October 8th is World Pierogi Day! It’s not like we need a special day to enjoy these undeniably delicious dumplings, but it doesn’t hurt. 🙂
The Russian word pirogi and the Polish word pierogi are homonyms. Despite the phonetic similarity, the words describe different types of cuisine: pirogi can be baked or fried pie, while pierogi are boiled stuffed dumplings.
The Russian word for dumplings is “pelmeni,” and the Ukrainian word for dumplings is varenyky.
Pierogi are boiled, delicious stuffed dumplings. The semicircular dough is often stuffed with savory fillings before being boiled. After boiling them, the cook will either bake or fry the dumplings in butter to finish cooking them.
However you choose to spell it, these dumplings of unleavened dough bring a delicious and comforting meal to serve at any table. You can also order them on our site.
I don’t live in Seattle but whenever I travel close enough to grab some of their awesome baked goods, you better believe I stop and stock up! I hope this place can keep this place going for another 30+ years. I would be sad not to have their wonderful tasties anymore.”

Labor Day
September 4th is Labor Day, an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements that American workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.
The holiday has its roots in the late 19th century when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday so they could be recognized for their many contributions, which helped make this country what it currently stands as today.
While we take time to relax from our hard work, let us all take a moment to remember the workers who helped paved the way for a safe and regulated workplace. Happy Labor Day!

On August 17th, the historic Pike Place Market turns 116 years old. Together, let’s celebrate the Market’s unique characteristics and history!
Pike Place Market is one of Seattle’s most popular tourist destinations and is renowned for its fresh seafood, produce, flowers, and artisan-crafted goods. It also happens to be the location of our flagship Piroshky Piroshky bakery.
On August 17th, the historic Pike Place Market turns 116 years old. Together, let’s celebrate the Market’s unique characteristics and history!
ABOUT PIKE PLACE
On August 17 of this year, Seattle’s Pike Place Market turns 116 years old. In that time, it has grown from just eight farmers independently selling their produce from wagons and carts to a thriving community of over five hundred farmers, craftspeople, buskers, shops, and restaurants. Pike Place Market is now among Seattle’s most popular and recognizable destinations, referred to by many residents as “the soul of Seattle.” In celebration, let’s reflect on the Market’s unique characteristics and history.
BEFORE THE MARKET
Celebrating Pike Place Market begins with recognizing Seattle’s real need for it in 1907. Before then, established local farmers had to use middlemen to distribute their products within the rapidly growing city.
These “commission houses,” many of which were concentrated along Western Avenue, were notoriously deceitful. They would wildly inflate customer prices while aggressively undercutting farmers, cleverly shielding themselves from accountability with elaborate legal fictions. Their dishonesty prompted farmers and customers to petition the Seattle City Council for a change.
Pike Place Market Initiative 1917
That change came in 1907, when Councilman Thomas Revelle introduced an ordinance to establish a farmer’s market along Pike Place, a small street running parallel to Western Avenue just up the hill. It passed, giving farmers the freedom to sell directly to customers; twelve days later, the Pike Place Public Farmer’s Market was officially inaugurated.
“The Market is yours. I dedicate it to you, and may it prove of benefit to you and your children. It is for you to protect, defend, and uphold, and it is for you to see that those who occupy it treat you fairly.”
– Thomas Revell.
EARLY YEARS AND EXPANSION
In the early years, the Seattle ordinance limited Pike Place Market’s hours of operation between 5:00 AM and noon. However, demand for the Market was extraordinary. In 1909, the Athenian (which is a restaurant today) opened as an inn for travelers, making the Market an early destination for tourists.
By 1910, the city doubled the number of vendor stalls and opened the newly constructed “sanitary market,” an area that did not allow horses. Further expansion of buildings and infrastructure would continue until 1922, by which time the Market looked much like it does today.
The Pike Place Market circa 1917
Pike Place Market has faced several close calls with dissolution or destruction throughout its history. Interestingly, the Great Depression was not among them. In fact, the Market expanded during the 1930s, albeit slowly, by opening a dance hall in the Economy Market Building.
The Market was a critical public resource during the worst of the Depression era and into the 1940s, ensuring that residents retained access to affordable goods and produce despite shortages and rationing.
The first serious threat to Pike Place Market came in December of 1941 when a massive fire gutted the sanitary market. Wartime paranoia prompted an arson investigation, but the cause was never determined. Ultimately, the fire caused over one hundred thousand dollars in damages (over two million in today’s dollars).
A second, even greater threat came shortly thereafter, with the internment of Japanese-Americans. At that time, three-quarters of King County’s produce and half of its milk came from Japanese-American farmers, whose presence at the Market was unmistakable.
Internment, and the difficulty Japanese-Americans experienced re-establishing themselves in its aftermath, brought the Market into a deep decline. The composition of its farmers changed permanently.
Blue Bonnet Sue Wagon – 1960’s
It wasn’t until 1963 that Pike Place Market faced a sustained, organized effort to dissolve it entirely. Backed by both the mayor and the city council, several large real estate developers proposed the total demolition of Pike Place Market in favor of the “Pike Plaza” urban renewal project, which would’ve erected seven large towers including a hotel, apartments, office buildings, a hockey arena, and a parking garage.
Fortunately, Seattle architect and civic activist Victor Steinbrueck opposed the project and founded the Friends of the Market organization in 1964. The two sides battled over the fate of the Market until it was finally added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, protecting it from development and ensuring it would remain in public hands.
The Pike Place Cinema – Circa 1970’s
In 1973, Seattle created the Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority to run the Market. Over the next decade, all the Market’s historic buildings were restored and renovated using the original plans, blueprints, and appropriate materials.
Pike Place Market announced a 74 million dollar expansion for its centennial anniversary celebration, adding more than 30,000 square feet of space and 47 new stalls for local businesses. The expanded market offers stunning views of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains, ensuring Pike Place Market remains the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee or a bite to eat for tourists and locals alike.
THE EMERALD CITY’S CROWN JEWEL
Pike Place Market is a collective space where diverse people come together in celebration of food, life, and community.
Since its founding, Pike Place Market has been a cherished local landmark. From the Pike Place Fish Market (where staff famously throw fish from display to the cashier) to its many annual events like the Chowder Cook-Off, the Taste of Pike Place Market, and Sunset Supper, the Market remains a vibrant community center for downtown Seattle.
Housing nearly five-hundred residents between eight different buildings, the Market also ensures Seattle’s artists, craftspeople, seniors, and low-wage workers have a stable, supportive home. Its founding values of quality, creativity, and affordability are alive today.
Pike Place Market is a collective space where diverse people come together in celebration of food, life, and community. With its convenient location, an abundance of amenities, and perhaps a bit of luck, the Market will surely remain a top destination for locals and tourists for another 115 years. It’s more than just a place to buy groceries – the Market is the very soul of Seattle.
It’s more than just a place to buy groceries – the Market is the very soul of Seattle.
PIKE PLACE MARKET FACTS
The daily rent for any stall in 1911 was $0.20 a day.
The oldest business at Pike Place Market is the Virginia Inn, a restaurant on 1st Ave & Virginia St, opening in 1903 and still serving guests today!
Three Girls Bakery was the very first Seattle business to be owned solely by women. It opened in 1912.
The iconic neon sign and clock were installed in 1937.
Over a dozen languages are spoken and written at the market, including Spanish, Chinese, Hmong, Vietnamese, Hindi, Tagalog, Turkish, Russian, German, Japanese, French, and Arabic.
The Market Theater, Bead Zone, and Kells Irish Restaurant are among the locations in the market with a long history of hauntings.
Victor Steinbrueck was the individual who helped prevent the Markets’ destruction in 1971 and is also one of the three architects that designed the Space Needle. There is also the Victor Steinbrueck Park adjacent to the market.
The Gum Wall is a 15 feet brick wall covered in used chewing gum since 1993. In November 2015, the Pike Place Market Preservation & Development Authority decided to clean the wall; it took 130 hours to complete, with over 2,350 pounds (1,070 kg) of gum removed and disposed of. Within 24 hours of completion, people started placing gum on the wall again.
There are 13 locations throughout the Market where performers can entertain Market shoppers for an hour at a time. Painted musical notes mark the sidewalks where they stand, and the number painted on the note corresponds to the number of performers that can play there at one time.

But it’s a very efficient operation, so the line moves quickly. Look at the posted menus while you wait, so you’re ready to order as soon as you get to the counter.

“Three words: WORTH THE WAIT. We finally stopped by on our last day in Seattle and were not disappointed. The line for piroshki was very small (1-2 min wait), and they just had a tray of rhubarb piroshki set out. We immediately scarfed down the beef & onion piroshki and a cheddar garlic roll. Both are so yummy, very substantial, and enough to share for lunch. Doubled up on those and then got a few more before heading to the airport: chicken curry, beef & cheese, rhubarb. Needless to say, they traveled well, and we feasted on all the yumminess, and all was well in the world again.”

Piroshky Piroshky started with a simple dream: to bring the flavor of Eastern European baking to the Pacific Northwest. We opened our doors in 1992, and from the very beginning, our pies were a hit.
Blending traditional recipes with local flavor, our selection of piroshky offer a wide array of choices, both savory & sweet and are individually made from scratch then hand-molded into their very own unique shapes
People lined up out the door to get their hands on our piroshky, and soon, we started to catch the attention of food critics and pie-lovers from all over. As word of mouth spread, Piroshky Piroshky has become celebrated worldwide.
In the years since, we’ve expanded our operations to include FREE local delivery, locations throughout the PNW, Catering, Food Trucks, and Events across the USA! We’re proud to have become a beloved staple in so many homes, and we can’t wait to see what the next 30 years have in store for us
For now, let’s take a look back on the first 30 years. Thank you for being part of our journey!
Our Roots
Kotelnikov Family – with award from the Pike Place Market
Immigrants have always been a vital part of the fabric of America, and the story of Piroshky Piroshky is a perfect example of the American Dream in action.
Vladimir and Zina Kotelnikov were two immigrants from the Soviet Union in their 40s and 50s working their way through entry-level jobs before Piroshky Piroshky first opened its doors in the Pike Place Market in 1992.
The success of Piroshky Piroshky is a testament to the hard work and determination of its founders, and it stands as an inspiration of the American Dream at its best.
Once upon a time…
Tallinn Bakery in Estonia
Our Estonian roots trace back to a bakery named Tallinn, where Vladimir learned the baking trade from his teacher Masha.
Masha and Piroshky Piroshky founder Oliver Kotelnikov
Our Beginning
We first opened our doors on October 24th, 1992 in Seattle’s famous Pike Place Market, started by the Kotelnikov family, with just $1,200 to invest in the bakery.
The bakery opening was accomplished with the help of friends and strangers many of whom were immigrants of Russian descent. a very basic business plan – (see below) and the dream of bringing a taste of Eastern Europe to the Pacific Northwest.

Our Pies
Beef & Cheese Piroshky – A best seller!
By blending traditional recipes with local flavor, our selection of piroshky grew to offer a wide array of choices both savory and sweet.

Our Experiences
Piroshky Team Members stand in line for a change
A company can’t grow unless its people grow, too. That’s why we empower our team members to do their best work, develop lifelong skills, and have some fun along the way!
“I started in 2005 at Pike Place Market. One day of work entailed a full shift with both owners, Olga cashiering at my side and Oliver in the corner baking away. I never imagined we would grow to the extent that we did.”
– Bryan
“I have great coworkers and customers from all walks of life that make my job an interesting place to work. People from all over the U.S. and the world work and eat at Piroshky Piroshky, so I’m often learning something new every shift.”
– Jesse
“One of my favorite Piroshky memories is probably when Usher tried to cut my line and I told him no!”
– Maryam
One of our favorite old moments at Pike Place Market: A man proposing to his girlfriend, with a ring and a few Oscar’s Star piroshky.
“When little kids are up against the outside window, I like to toss a little flour at the glass where their faces are. They usually flinch and then laugh. A few times it has resulted in some tears, but it was never something a puff stick couldn’t remedy.”
Josh
“One evening as we were getting ready to close a large group of sailors came in dressed in uniform, and just about wiped us out of piroshkies. They were so excited and many knew who we were even though they were not from Seattle. It was amazing.”
-Jamie

Bonus Facts:
Piroshky Piroshky owns a trademark on the shape of our Smoked Salmon Pâté Piroshky. Only a few other companies, who were producing salmon piroshky of a similar shape before we secured the trademark, are allowed to duplicate our pattern.
Piroshky found its way to America with the surge in immigration among Russian Jews escaping religious persecution in the late nineteenth century.
The phrase on the back of our t-shirts (вот такие пироги) is pronounced “vote teh-KEE-yeh pyer-oh-GHEE” and translates as “These are the pies.” The phrase is colloquial; if declared confidently, it conveys strong confidence in the quality of our product.
Although potatoes make a satisfying filling for piroshky today, potatoes were not commonplace in Russia until the mid-nineteenth century. Before that, turnips and rutabagas were the primary root vegetables.
Available starting June 1st for a limited time only.
