Be prepared for a line and difficult parking! You know this place is good when there’s a consistent line of people out the door. I had a classic lox on marble bagel, iced apple pie latte, and a blueberry and brown sugar pastry. Bagel and coffee were soo yummy! I wished they had bacon/sausage available on the menu but otherwise loved it!

Great bagels smears and sandwiches. Hot from the oven.
Excellent bagels, simply no question. But the shmear called “Carrot Lox” was very misleading. It was brined carrot, not a trace of lox. Had I known it was smoky, brined carrot I would not have bought it. Otherwise top notch!

Really good bagels

A good bagel is not nothing. It’s something! The rugelach was fine, but not as memorable as the bagel. Got plain, sesame, and garlic sea salt … all excellent. Reasonable pricing too.

We’ve been to Pigeon about 10 times and every time we’ve been pleased with the customer service, price, and quality of food. We love the friendliness, atmosphere, and culture created by this being where it is.

On a visit to Pittsburgh, our eight-year-old daughter was craving a bagel. Yelp brought us here and we’re so glad they did. Our daughter loved their plain bagel and plain schmear.
My wife ordered the plain bagel with strawberry schmear and I the sesame bagel with fig and honey schmear. The bagel had good texture, but the scmears lacked flavor. Both tasted like plain, which makes me think they accidentally gave us plain.
We also ordered a poppy pastry, which wasn’t put in our takeout bag.
The cinnamon honey latte was tasty!
I did enjoy seeing so many people in line. It seems like a true community spot.

Great bagels and tofu schmear. Carrot lox is especially good, but veggie sandwich depends on what veggies are in it (changed by day). Their coffee is also kind of bad (over pulled/bitter espresso in iced americano). But it’s not that expensive, so drinkable if you let most of the ice melt

Great bagels and coffee! Such a cute little place! Even waiting in a long line, it was worth it!
Waited 30 minutes to get the wrong cream cheese on my over done bagel. If you want anything besides fish on your bagel, go somewhere else. No eggs, no bacon, ham, cheese, sausage, scrapple, potato, 🤮

As a native New Yorker. I am pretty particular about the bagels I enjoy and these bagels were delicious. The line to get in was pretty long. I did not love the cream cheese on my bagel, but that could be personal preference. Additionally, my coffee was tasty but not made correctly. Staff could use a little bit more training in this area. The staff was very polite and helpful. Line was long but I think that that is just a testament to how good the bagels are here. The only thing that could have improved the atmosphere was the placement of some tables. All in all a great shop.

Caught a slightly shorter line on a rainy day so I was finally able to check this place out. Even with a shorter line it was about 35-40 until I had my order. I was super excited to try the vegan lox, price was surprisingly reasonable. The bagel was delicious, the vegan shmere was perfect. But I gotta say I wasn’t a huge fan of the vegan lox order as a whole. The carrots were very thickly cut and very acidic. I think it would majorly benefit from deli style, super thinly sliced carrots. But even still the flavour of the vegan lox was largely off putting and the quarter inch slices just overwhelmed the whole thing an unpleasant taste. After a few bites I just had to take the carrots off, and thankfully I did because boy was it a treat to consume without them. If I came back I would stick solely to a classic bagel with vegan schemer. But the question remains, was it so good that I would wait in line another 40+ minutes to have that? Probably not, but I very glad I tried it!

Absolutely the most overrated bagels in Pittsburgh. Overpriced and taste terrible. This is coming from a New Yorker who knows his bagels. To be fair, there are no good bagels in town so if you’re going to get some, save your money and get them somewhere else…they’ll be just as mediocre but for half the price.
Also the absolutely pretentious attitude of everyone who works there is very off putting.
