Pretzels near Dover, PA

“A long time favorite for many locals for a very long time! Great, FRESHLY baked (on site) soft pretzels. In addition to the "standard" pretzel shape, Smittie's offers large pretzel "sticks" and bite-sized as well. (Also miscellaneous items like soda/ non alcoholic drinks).The location is a renovated, roadside type stand, (look for the white "lighthouse" on top) and has very friendly staff. Smittie's is well worth the time to stop in and enjoy a local, traditional treat.Smittie's is in the northern, rolling hills of York County, PA. The road (PA Route 74, just north of Dover, PA) is often used by area residents in the Autumn for good fall foliage viewing. The nearby Gifford Pinchot State Park is worth visiting for pretty views any time of year!NOTE: Parking is a bit tricky at times (just depends on random timing, space for a few cars) and is just off a well paved roadway (PA Route 74), northbound side. (The road is not divided, so you can access the parking lot from southbound or northbound).“

“Visited for the first time today and loved it. Ordered an Italian pretzel sandwich with lettuce, onions, & banana peppers, and it was delicious. They did not skimp out on the meat and cheese, because my sandwich was packed full and every bite was satisfying. Highly recommend!“

“I ordered online from their site thepretzelcompany.com. I was worried by a shipping delay of several days by UPS to get these to me on the west coast, but Philip let me know that they should still be shelf stable when they arrived and indeed they arrived fine as far as I can tell.The pretzels themselves are lighter in appearance than I expected, and they looked just like the frozen super pretzels from the supermarket. But after heating them as recommended they darken more and are definitely a step above the supermarket pretzels. The flavor and texture reminds me of pretzels at ballparks. They aren't quite as tasty to me as fresh German pretzels from Oktoberfests and German restaurants I've been to, but they'd be a great treat for guests at your next super bowl / event watch party.“

“The Pretzel Stromboli, that's all I need to say. It's amazing! Very small on the inside and usually hot from the ovens so I've only ever ordered to go. Right in the middle of a neighborhood with houses all around it. One day I might try something else but as long as they have the pretzel boli that's all I need. The staff are always nice.“
