    Being originally from Philly, I know a thing or two about soft pretzels. And the fact they need to be like a rounded rectangle shape with a big doughy center in the middle. Now that I'm in LA, I can find places for Cheesesteaks, Tastykakes and Hank's (aka Frank's) Soda while I'm watching the Flyers and Eagles but haven't really found a great authentic Philly soft pretzel. Sorry Wetzel's. You're good but you're closer to those crappy J&J Superpretzels in the Target than the real Philly stuff.

    So who knew you could find real Philly pretzels.....in San Diego?!

    Yep, the GM in Philly through and through and while SD Pretzel has the more standard pretzel design, they do now have a Philly style and both are great. As good as they are, they also do an amazingly good chocolate chip cookie that is larger in diameter than a hockey puck. Seems they have a cookie venture on the side.

    You can mail order them but I'm hoping they'll hit up some events in the LA area or get into some place like Philly's Best, South Street or the Shack and offer them there! Then I don't have to bug people to buy a bag of four near Philly Int'l Airport.

    I'm from NY, which has got to be one of the pretzel capitals of the world,
    but I still like San Diego PRETZEL Company the most. It is DEFINITELY
    the best drunk food ever! Your pretzels have prevented many a hangover.
    Thanks and keep the delicious coming.

    because we're in America, i have to give them 5 stars... it's not their fault they can't get secret German ingredients that make those pretzels from southern Germany so damn tasty.
    yes, it's true, i do love me a pretzel (blame it on my German husband) and since i can't fly back to Speyer (his hometown) every time i want one, i make do with these fabulous doughy knots of joy.  sadly, they are not sold fresh up in L.A. yet -- you can only get 'em in S.D. -- but they do sell them online and you can pick them up in stores around S.D.  do not be frightened by their frozen-ness -- when properly heated, they taste fresh and delicious -- not like those nasty heat-lampy kind you get at movie theatres.

    When you think of pretzels, do you think about the hard snacks at the grocery store?  You know, the ones in the chips aisle with various forms coming in sticks, twisted, small, medium?  Well, San Diego Pretzel Company is going to change your mind about everything you thought was a pretzel.  I LOVE SD Pretzel Company.  Their pretzels are soft, warm and large; it's making me feel all warm and cozy just writing about them.  Harris and Bill offer great prices for bulk pretzels.  They supply most of the pretzels for local Oktoberfests and offer other products such as the pretzel wrapped hot dog.  Not only that, they have a whole wheat pretzel and flavored pretzels.  Harris has been in the business for over 16 years starting out as a small kiosk at local malls and now has become the only pretzel company in San Diego.  Bill even arranges free tours for kids where they can learn to roll their own pretzels.  The kids are so excited, it feels like they are in Disneyland.  What a fun thing to do for a kid's party.  SD Pretzel Co. is AWESOME!

History

Established in 1995

On January 1st, 1995, I leased a location in Ocean Beach which was formerly a small bakery. With no entrepreneurial experience and limited funds, I knew starting a new business would have to be a family affair. With my wife's help, we opened up our first pretzel cart in Fashion Valley mall. I made the pretzels in the early morning hours just before sunrise, and my wife and I sold them off the cart well after sunset, seven days a week. I also traveled from one farmer's market to another selling the twisted treats. As the pretzel cart business expanded, my kids spent weekends and summers selling pretzels, and helping push and shove carts into various locations. In time, the cart business shrunk as our wholesale and online business expanded.

Now, we own a larger baking facility in National City, and work with a terrific crew. I'm very proud of our products which are all about quality, and I can honestly say they rival the best soft pretzels in the world.
