Pączki (pronounced poonch-keylisten)) is a Polish donut-like dessert filled with pastry cream, buttercream, or assorted fruit fillings. It is a special treat that is traditionally enjoyed on Mardi Gras as a way to treat yourself before the start of Lent. And while it’s usually available for most of February, the city’s bakeries see long lines for the decadent treat every year.

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite places to pączki in Pittsburgh, and the best ways to order ahead to ensure you get your pączki fix this Tuesday.
