Best American Dumplings in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh—if you like our savory hand pies and meat pies, we think you’ll absolutely love our authentic American dumplings! THE best. 🇺🇸

These are NOT trying to be Asian, Italian, Polish or other dumplings. These are quite literally American chicken and dumplings, beef and noodles and such, just in a different form. I have a whole slew of Southern stews I will be dumplifying as well, so stay tuned!

Southerners are the kings and queens of hand pies and biscuits—so if we can stuff it in a pie crust or a biscuit, it can also be stuffed in a dumpling.

Chicken and Dill Dumplings

Cajun Chicken and Dumplings, with the stew sealed inside the flat rolled dumpling dough (to make what Southerners call “slicks” for “chicken and pastry”—the term for that dish).

In the South, we make leavened, fluffy dumplings as well as flat dumplings/slicks that resemble noodles, which we simmer in the stew; these stuffed dumplings are made using that dough.
