The Pretzel Shop

I was born and raised in Pgh. I moved to Ohio in 95 thinking nothing of it (me being a pretzel lover as a kid there was a guy who walked all over Carson st. Selling them out of his buggy /cart ) I go to one of the Malls see a pretzel booth (Aunt something) looking at there menus with a weird look on my face asked for a plain pretzel got what looked like one of those freezer looking pretzels (super pretzel) and it was greesie with butter i said to my friend THIS AIN'T A REAL PRETZEL . so now when I go visit my Mum (in MT Oliver ) the pretzel shop is a routine stop. And I usually buy about 75 (I got my kid's and nieces and nephew hooked on them) to take to Ohio and share.

Wow! How have I missed this gem before now? The shop is reminiscent of those kinds of small street shop bakeries you see all over larger cities like NY, Philly, Boston, etc. but the star here are the pretzels. I stopped around 3 in the afternoon. There were two guys ahead of me who seemed to have been here before and they ordered everything in the place. I bought a cinnamon sugar pretzel for the wife (which she claims is the best cinnamon sugar pretzel she’s ever had) and 4 regular salted pretzels for the rest of us. Later that night we popped the pretzels in the microwave for 30 seconds to warm them up, and they were soft like they’d just come out of the oven. Nice doughy bite and bready aroma with a hint of salt made for a deliciously pleasant snack. These are better than any soft pretzels I’ve ever had from Philly (and I’m originally from there!). So good! I will be back!!!

This place just keeps getting better and better....Pretzels are still Amazing...Also, plenty of options to go along with your traditional pretzel if need be....Please dont change a thing.....South Side Pretzel Shop is the BEST!!!
