Philadelphia Soft Pretzels, Inc.
Started in 1968, our small family business has taken great strides to produce the highest quality soft pretzel and the cheapest price to our customers. Today, our third and fourth generation family members continue this practice on a daily basis. If you ever wanted to know more about our pretzels and what goes into baking these delicious treat, this page will give you a quick introduction.
High Quality
At Philadelphia Soft Pretzels, Inc., we only use the highest quality ingredients to produce our pretzels. We always use an enriched flour, which has a better taste and offers better nutrition. All of our other ingredients are of a similar quality. When you combine this with our mixing, twisting, and baking processes, our pretzel truly stands out when compared to the competition.
We use no added sugars or eggs to make our pretzels. They are also dairy free and fat free! This makes them a great snack between meals. Another added benefit of our product is that it is Kosher/Parve certified! |

Hand Twisted Daily
|
True to the history of the pretzel bakers in Vienna, our crew is up way before dawn to make the delicious product our customers crave. Every morning the crew comes in and makes the dough from scratch. Then they hand twist each and every pretzel to the well known 'Philadelphia' shape, longer and stretched as opposed to the rounded traditional pretzel shape.
These pretzels then go through a proofing process so that they raise to the correct consistency. Once proofed, they get put onto our oven line, go through a soda bath, get salted (if they are to be unsalted, or 'baldies', the salt is turned off), then bake in our almost 50 foot oven for 5-7 minutes. |
When the pretzels come out they have gone through a beautiful transformation and are now a gorgeous, shiny, golden-brown speckled with bright, white salt! The pretzels have centers that are soft and fluffy with a great bounce, while retaining a great shell on the outside for that added protection in travel as well as a great texture.
They are arranged on boards in sets of fifty to cool and set. The pretzels are then either bagged up for our retail walk-in customers, or divided into larger amounts for pick up orders or deliveries. They are at last enjoyed by generations who grew up with them as kids, to the current generation of children.
Our pretzels are baked fresh each and every day! We do not try to sell day old or older pretzels to our customers, as this would diminish our tradition of putting out the best quality possible.

Pretzel Enjoyment
Our soft pretzels are made to stay softer and last longer than our competition. They have been and continue to be enjoyed by children and adults for decades here in Philly. Many pretzel lovers enjoy mustard on their treat. Other toppings that have become popular recently are cheese sauce, cream cheese, chocolate sauce, cinnamon sugar, and much more. We offer a wide selection of these toppings to all of our customers.
Another way to enjoy your soft pretzel is as a sandwich. Either open faced or sliced in half, add your selection of meats, cheeses, etc. to the top of your pretzel or in between your sliced pretzel. You could also throw the combination into a toaster oven set around 350-400 degrees for just a couple minutes for a hot and toasty sandwich!
