Philadelphia is more than simply cheesesteaks. For over 40 years Center City Pretzel Co. has been making a distinctively Philly-style soft pretzel that has locals lining up at dawn to purchase them by the bag.

  1. the philly soft pretzel is like a full meal. so soft but so filling. i moved to the west coast and i miss even getting a mediocre one from a wawa.

    1. Wawa pretzels would be amazing if they didn’t wrap them in those bags. They sweat too much, and the pretzels absorb the taste of the bag 🤢

  2. I wish I had a place near me like this. I’d go there every day. Looks delicious. I love a great soft pretzel with mustard.😍

  3. I had pretzels in Germany and I was disappointed. Nothing beats a Philly soft pretzel.

    1. Comparing some random german brezel, probably by some train station chain, with an almost unrelated product like a “philly soft pretzel” with the dough being different, actually lacking 1-2 main ingrediants, is a wild stretch, my guy.

  4. Any affiliation to the Philly Pretzel Factory? Looks like they both sell the same shape of pretzels.

  5. In the fifties, my mom could buy them 2 for a penny, and she would sell them on the streets for a penny.Each. when I went to saint joseph’s catholic school in the sixties, they were a nickel apiece, and they saved my life. They really filled me up. What great memories

  6. I used to get these at like 3 am in college cuz they were only open like midnight to 6am. So baller lol

  7. What a great business model and attitude. There’s so much pressure to increase pricing and there’s so much junk food out there. $0.70 for a wholesome, good tasting and filling homemade product is a real service to the community.

  8. Hello I once lived in Philly, but now I’m living overseas in Taiwan.
    Any chances I get ur products from overseas?

  9. These people are the literal embodiment of the city… I was raised on their competitors in the northeast, but these ones hold it all up✊🏾
