History

edit

The bakery was established in Pike Place Market in 1992, by Vladimir and Zina Kotelnikov. A few years later, son Oliver took over with Olga Sagan. Sagan became sole owner in 2017.[7][8]

Between 2014 and 2017, Sagan and Oliver Kotelnikov opened three locations (Northgate, Southcenter and Columbia Center.) There are four locations in Seattle, as of 2022.[6]

The Pike Place Market location appeared on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations in 2007 and Andrew Zimmern's The Zimmern List in 2017.[6][9]

By 2018, Piroshky Piroshky had opened its fifth location in Seattle and planned to launch a food truck.[10] The bakery began offering four vegan options in 2019.[11]

The Century Square location closed for over a year during the COVID-19 pandemic in Seattle, but reopened in September 2021.[12] Owner Olga Sagan announced in February 2022 that the location would be temporarily closed, citing an increase in violent crime near the store on 3rd Avenue.[13] Piroshky Piroshky is opening a fourth location in the newly opened Seattle Convention Center (SCC) expansion.[14]
