Best pretzels ever!
Sep 15, 2023 | By Susan shekmar
Only if you grew up in the Philadelphia area would you recognize the great taste of these pretzels. Soft doughy delicious snacks that bring back home! Feeling and taste that you savor again and again. Can't be matched.

A tasteful home

Sent theses to a friend who used to live in Philly and is now in Tennessee who is recovering from surgery. She was thrilled and said the pretzels were just the "medicine" she needed.
I also had a question on shipping and emailed the company. As always, they were very responsive and helpful. Thanks, Kristen!

A Taste of Pennsylvania
Mar 12, 2023 | By Alan Rosen
Whether or not you are from Pennsylvania, you will totally love the foods from Pennsylvania General Store! The pretzels are true Philly soft pretzels!! Tastykakes, Zitner Easter Eggs and so much more. I'm a Philly boy and these foods take me back to my childhood. Go to pageneralstore.com and enjoy!!!

Philly Soft Pretzels
Feb 18, 2023 | By Cathy Grayson
The pretzels were the perfect addition to our Super Bowl party. We are transplanted to California from Philly, so this was a wonderful "taste of home." Delivery was smooth and right on time. We followed the enclosed directions to prepare the pretzels and they were delicious!!





Soft Pretzels- Mmmmmm
Feb 16, 2023 | By Cindy Bryan
Ordered the Philly Pretzel Factory Soft Pretzels for the Super Bowl. They arrived fresh and right on time, with instructions on how to freeze and defrost them for Super Bowl Sunday. Will order again from here!

Feb 16, 2023 | By Donna Vandenberg
Nothing like pretzels from Philly! Having soft pretzels from Philly made the Super Bowl game loss a tiny bit easier to take. Next year! Go Birds!
Thanks for the super fast service!





Just like home
Feb 16, 2023 | By Debzdesign
Really great experience -- touch of water, salt & heat. Tastes like home!





Great gift!
Feb 16, 2023 | By Pat
We sent these to our friends in Arizona who were from Philly and missing Philly pretzels. They loved them!





When you can't get into the City...
Feb 11, 2023 | By Linda S Schiffer
Born in Philly, raised in Wilmington DE - but always claim Philly as home. And what's more iconic to Philly than soft pretzels?? Nothing close to them here in the Green Mountains. But a quick online order allows me to grab a dozen and stock the freezer accordingly. Easy to fix without a long wait. One bite transports me home!





wonderful

SOFT PRETZELS BETTER THAN I REMEMBER!





Soft pretzels
Jan 11, 2023 | By Constance Pointer
Delivery was great. The pretzels were fresh. My sister, who lives in Spring, TX was truly surprised and enjoyed her pretzels.





Given as a gift
Dec 24, 2022 | By Katharine Pyle
I did not actually try these, as I got them as gifts for family. We are from PA, scattered across the country. My son said they were pretty good but wishes they were "closed" (ala Wawa) so he could slice and make a sandwich!
Owner Response: Completely understand the pretzel preference! That being said, fresh baked pretzels can come out in *slightly* different shapes--each one is unique!

Ordering was very easy. The shipping and packaging were even better. The recipient was impressed with the wonderful way the pretzels were packaged.





GREAT BIRTHDAY PRESENT!
Nov 27, 2022 | By judy Edwards
Soft pretzels have always been my son's favorite foods! I've been having some delivered the past few years for his birthday. This year, he will once again be thrilled when he receives soft pretzels for his birthday! YAY!





Great gift, excellent customer service
Jul 10, 2022 | By Kristen Young
I bought this for my boss. When she decided to take the day off, I contacted PA General Store customer support. Within minutes they rescheduled the delivery day to get here a day early. They arrived on time and tasted delicious. Birthday saved!

Delicious treat. I love how they come connected x5. Anytime I was in Philly, I would indulge. It's great to have access without physically being there.





Best soft pretzels.
May 19, 2022 | By Sandy Dottenwhy
I wish I could get them locally. One of my Philly favorites!





Good stuff
May 19, 2022 | By Tim Hal
Your pretzels are so good! I would eat them everyday if I could!!





Dangerous delivery
May 6, 2022 | By Jill Garner
Our son grew up in the Philly area but he and his New Hampshire-born wife now live in Ann Arbor, Mi. They both love Philly soft pretzels and make sure to get them whenever they come to visit us in West Chester. This year we decided to surprise them for their wedding anniversary by sending them a Philly Pretzel Factory gift box. We worried the pretzels might get stale in the shipping but not a problem! The PA General Store upgraded the delivery to 2 days and our son said they arrived fresh and delicious. He added, "it's almost dangerous to know we can get Philly soft pretzels delivered right to our door."





Fast and Delicious
May 5, 2022 | By Javier Ramirez
Received the pretzels a lot quicker than I thought!

Great Soft Pretzels from Home
Apr 8, 2022 | By Floyd Miller
Since moving out of state, there are a number of things I miss about PA. One of those things is the Philly Soft Pretzel.
These pretzels from Pennsylvania General Store are just as I remember and it's easy to finish their preparation. They can even be frozen to enjoy at a later time. I have ordered batches in the past but now this treat is even better -- they come with a jar of Philly Pretzel Factory's original mustard instead of cafeteria style packs!





Great Philly Soft Pretzels
Dec 23, 2021 | By Floyd Miller
I've enjoyed Philadelphia style soft pretzels since I was a kid. I missed them during the ten years I lived in Michigan and now living in Maine, I can enjoy them again. The Philly Soft Pretzel Factory has got the recipe down. They are easy to salt and reheat! They also freeze well, so I can enjoy a box for several weeks and share them with friends.





Delicious Pretzels
Sep 30, 2021 | By Georgetta Cloud
I received my order and these pretzels are so delicious! My family and I are originally from the Philly area, so we are thrilled we can enjoy these again!





Home again
Sep 30, 2021 | By Judith Springer
It's been years since I've been 'home' to Philly. Really missed some of my favorite foods. Your box of Philly soft pretzels took me back 65 yrs. to "Pretzel Day" at school. Everything came in great condition and I have been enjoying the pretzels ever since.





OKUUR!
Sep 11, 2021 | By April Brown-Lebron
I was born and raised in South Philly! When I am in the mood for soft pretzels, I will ONLY order from PGS. The pretzels are packaged well and handled with care. I always separate the pretzels and freeze immediately. When I want to indulge, I usually heat pretzels in the toaster oven. This allows for a crispy texture on the outside, and super chewy on the inside. I have placed in the microwave for a soft texture inside and out.

pretzels as health food
Apr 1, 2021 | By Michael
For people familiar with the unique taste, when they find themselves out of the area, PGS delivery not only satisfied the craving for the real Philly soul food (lets face it - it is the soft pretzels, not that famous sandwich) it also served as an emotional elixir, healing the wound of being away from the crispy soft, salt crusted, yellow mustard covered goodness that is the center of our shared universe, of everything we hold dear such as mom, apple pie and the Eagles. May the enterprise you are engaged in continue to spread the chewy doughy treats to lift us all up wherever life sends us in the pursuit of Happiness fortified as we would be in our mojo and spirit by your great deeds. As they say in South Philly, "Muy Excellente!"
Owner Response: Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We are so happy to be able to send you fond memories of home.

A taste of home
Feb 28, 2021 | By Bill
The pretzels arrived in two days. They were fairly fresh and tasty.
Owner Response: Thank you for your feedback! I wish they could be delivered to your door piping hot from a Philly street vendor. We do our best to get them to you as soon as possible and include directions on how to freeze and re-heat. Hopefully, re-heating them will mimic that fresh street vendor pretzel you remember. I'm glad you enjoyed your pretzels! Thank you for your business.

The soft pretzel order came fast and fresh! The pretzels went right into the freezer and now I just throw one in the toaster oven to warm up when I feel the need for a soft Philly Pretzel! Great service.

Very good, but a little stale.
Owner Response: I'm sorry to hear that the pretzels tasted a bit stale but am glad you still enjoyed them. That is certainly not the quality we are known for. I will reach out to you individually to discuss. Thank you for letting us know so we can continually improve!





Great!

Customer service was excellent. Due to storm, my order was delayed due to possible delay. I ordered soft pretzels for my friend. Order went out on different day, received the next day. My friend (who never had a famous Philly soft pretzel!) RAVED. Guess I'll be sending them via Pa. General Store from now on! Thank you!!

I usually am able to bring my son soft pretzels when we visit him in Manlius New York but because of COVID we cannot visit. He was asking for some soft pretzels for himself and my grandson and Pa General Store was the only place that would deliver. They came very quickly and fresh!





Excellent Pretzels
Nov 6, 2020 | By J.Q.
These pretzels are GREAT! I have placed several orders and the pretzels have always arrived here to me in Florida like right out of the oven. The shipping and packaging is fast. If you live out of State and love these pretzels, order here you will not be disappointed!

A Taste Of Home
Oct 31, 2020 | By Lynne Raboy
Wow! So glad I found you!! I ordered several things, Philly Soft Pretzels, Sweetzels Spice Wafers and Tastycake Dark Chocolate Kandy Kakes. Born and raised in Philadelphia and now living in Florida, you are a Godsend! We cannot get these down here. Everything arrived fresh and in two days. I was a little leary about ordering the pretzels but we microwaved a few right away and they were just like we bought them fresh at the store. We froze the rest. Thank you for being there for us former Philadelphians!
Owner Response: We are so happy to be here for you! Thank you for your continued business and we look forward to assisting you again soon.





Soft Pretzels Arrived Fresh!
Oct 29, 2020 | By Lisa Digiacomo
I was concerned about sending these pretzels a long distance- that they would be soggy or dry. But they weren't! My niece and her dorm buddies loved them. I wish you had included my gift card though. She couldn't tell who sent them.
Owner Response: I'm so glad your niece and her friends enjoyed the soft pretzels! We do include the gift message on the packing slip which is inside of the shipping box. My apologies if that was an oversight on our part. I often hear that folks may throw out that piece of paper without noticing there's valuable information on it.





Pleased with pretzels
Oct 22, 2020 | By Anthony Cirillo
While admittedly I used to buy these for a nickel in grade school, these are the genuine article. They are a treat every once and a while. Heat up well and bring back the memories. Keep baking my friend.





Just OK - not as good as the last two times we ordered them
Oct 12, 2020 | By George
I do not know if the producer of the pretzels has changed, but these were definitely overcooked (dark brown) and a bit on the dry side. Not up to the same specs as what we purchased here in the past.
Owner Response: Thank you for your feedback. Having over-cooked pretzels is certainly not normal. Thank you for letting us know so we may address this concern with our Pretzel vendor. I'm so glad I was able to email you a discount for your next order with us.





Love our Soft Pretzels
Oct 9, 2020 | By Isabelle P. Gibson
We loved the arrival of our Philly Soft Pretzels for my husbands birthday. They were not disappointing in any way! We highly recommend this gift pack. This is our second purchase of the gift pack and will continue to give as gifts for family and friends.

Recently I sent the 15 pretzel package to a friend in Pensacola, FL. While she is a sports fan, she is not a Philadelphia sports fan. This "gift" was a nudge! And it was terrific. She loved the idea, devoured the "best pretzels" ever and did allow that the Pennsylvania General Store was a Winner! Thank You, PGS!





Wonderful!
Oct 5, 2020 | By Tom Bulger
Memories of buying these pretzels from street vendors. These are the real thing! Excellent packaging and fast shipping.
Owner Response: We're so happy these bring back great memories for you! We hope to help you again soon.

Pretzels they are not philly pretzels I am from south philly
Owner Response: Thank you for the feedback. I am sorry the soft pretzels were not as you remember from South Philly. There are a handful of pretzel vendors in the city and each certainly have their own recipe and density. The pretzels on your recent order are from the Philly Pretzel Factory. We can certainly look into offering a variety of vendors in the future.





Philly Pretzel
Oct 1, 2020 | By Micheal Randolph
I don't have access to philly pretzels here in the Midwest. I usually buy them from WaWa when I'm home in NJ. The pretzels I ordered were good but unfortunately the mustard packets opened in transit and made a mess inside the box. The pretzel salt also opened and was all over the inside of the box.
Owner Response: I'm so disappointed to hear that the salt and mustard broke open in transit. My apologies. Thank you for letting us know. I will reach out to you via email with a discount for your next order. I've also notified my production team to make sure we are packaging the pretzels in the best way possible to help prevent this from happening again. We appreciate the feedback; this information helps us to improve.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience! My customer service agent went above and beyond to get the pretzels overnighted to surprise my mom. She exceeded my expectations, wrapped the packaging in a bow as a surprise, and was so kind and communicative. Awesome job!
