I have been eating sausages from this particular shop since I had teeth. It was started in 1940, and my grandparents were friends of the founder. This was once a respectable working class neighborhood (not anymore), but they will never move because they still use a lot of the original equipment. The old Polish ladies who spent the day chopping everything by hand are long gone, but the kielbasa and krakowska (smoked Krakow-style sausage) are as delicious as ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek-771x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek-771x1024.jpg 771w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek-1157x1536.jpg 1157w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek-1542x2048.jpg 1542w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek-scaled.jpg 1928w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Polish Falcons club was nearby (in early days my parents would go to dances there), but it closed many years ago as  people moved out when the neighborhood changed.  But they still carry some Polish items and people still drive in from the suburbs to shop here, especially for the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"794\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek1-794x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek1-794x1024.jpg 794w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek1-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek1-768x991.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek1-1190x1536.jpg 1190w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek1-1587x2048.jpg 1587w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/piek1-scaled.jpg 1984w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this was what put this family run business on the map.  The Pope came to town and the family sent some of their kielbasa and Krakowska over to the diocese.  The Pope himself said that this was the best Krakowska to be had outside of Krakow.  This statement got picked up by the media, and a popular National morning television show came and did a live broadcast from the store.  So I must say I agree with him, I&#8217;ve tried what other delis call Krakowska and it&#8217;s never as tasty.  I brought some home on the plane (after it baffled TSA) and it will soon be gone.  \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this is always at least part of the reason that I choose to go back to the hometown, so I expect that I shall visit again (it&#8217;s also available to be shipped \ud83d\ude42 .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I had to go back to the hometown for a wedding recently, and I got to revisit some of my favorite places.
