Strawberry pretzel salad, the sweet, gelatinous, layered dessert, is a summer staple in western Pennsylvania. (Unfamiliar? Check out this video from Very Local Pittsburgh to get up to speed.)

If you want to make it yourself, there are plenty of recipes out there to try, including this fantastic classic one from Pittsburgh-based blogger Brown Eyed Baker, or this elevated option from The Splendid Table, which uses whipped coconut cream instead of Cool-Whip.
But, if you’d rather order it from someone else, you’re in luck – there are plenty of places to find strawberry pretzel salad in Pittsburgh (and the surrounding areas).Many of these places offer classic strawberry pretzel desserts, along with other versions of it, like doughnuts, cupcakes, or cheesecake. And, lots of them also will offer pans of it to go!
Note: For most of these spots, Strawberry Pretzel Salad is a seasonal item. Be sure to call ahead to ensure it’s available!
