Eggs are not explicitly on the menu, but standard Polish pierogi dough sometimes includes egg. HappyCow lists the venue as 'Lacto' (dairy, no egg), and multiple vegan reviews confirm egg-free pierogi. However, no source states an egg-free kitchen policy. The best approach is to ask on the day for egg-free dough, especially for the sweet pierogi.
