Piroshky Piroshky is returning to Cincinnati by popular demand for a pre-order-only pop-up at Rhinegeist.

One of Seattle's most popular bakeries is coming to Cincinnati — but only for one day.

Piroshky Piroshky, famous for its Eastern European-style pastries, is taking a road trip across America for a pre-order-only pop-up. And it's making a stop at Rhinegeist on Thursday, March 16. You have until Feb. 14 at 5 p.m. to place your order, and you must spend at least $50.

​​Opened in 1992 at Pike Place Market in Seattle by owner Olga Sagan, the bakery specializes in the titular piroshky — what its website describes as "hand-held pies."

Sagan wanted to bring a taste of Russia to the Pacific Northwest, according to the website, and her piroshkies are "individually made from scratch and hand-molded into their very own unique shapes." Fillings range from sweet to savory, with popular options including potato and cheese, smoked salmon pate and chocolate cream hazelnut.

The pastries have received widespread acclaim, with outlets like the Smithsonian calling the bakery one of the 20 most iconic food destinations across America and TV shows including The Zimmern List and Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations paying a visit.

The Piroshky Piroshky tour is also stopping at Elks Lodge #58 in Dayton, Ohio, on March 15. Orders for this location can be placed until March 13 at 5 p.m.
