General Information
Our pretzels are made in historic York, Pennsylvania. Since 2014, we've been hand-crafting the world's best pretzels from our bakery in the heart of York City.
We weren't designed in a corporate board room, we're the real deal. We come from Central Pennsylvania, pretzel country, where we've been making great pretzels since 2014. Over 80% of all pretzels produced are made within an hour drive of our bakery. Our pretzels have been enjoyed up and down the Mid-Atlantic and are considered by many to be the best pretzels ever.
You caught us. We aren't robots. Our products are handmade and, as we like to say, "perfectly imperfect." Our products are hand-twisted by humans, not machines. This means each one is unique and beautiful in its own way.
Believe it or not, most pretzels that you buy at a grocery store or online are made with million-dollar machinery. We prefer to do things the "hard way," with good old fashioned people power.
Shipping
Most orders ship within 3 days of being placed, but this can vary depending on weather and temperature delays, carrier notices, and production schedule.
All orders shipped to AZ, CA, ID, NV, OR, TX, UT, WA will be shipped Monday, Tuesday, and in some cases Wednesday. These orders are shipped using UPS 3-Day Select or FedEx Home Delivery.
All orders shipped to the rest of the continental United States are shipped Monday-Friday.
We will send you another email as soon as your order is shipped.
Please refer to the tracking information that was sent to you in your confirmation email. In many cases our tracking emails come 24-48 hours before your package is actually shipped. FedEx and UPS may generate "estimated" delivery dates prior receiving your shipment. Please ignore those dates. After FedEx or UPS actually picks up your package, the carrier in question will generate an accurate delivery date.
First. Take a deep breath. We have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. It really will be okay.
We can't control shipping carriers like FedEx or UPS and we don't know what they did with your box. Please call them before emailing us and see if they can help you out. Once they take the package from us, the delivery is in their hands.
If they can't help you or they can't locate the package, please email us. We'll take care of you.
Our goal is to get pretzels out the door as quickly as possible. Some orders are shipped within hours of being placed, some take 3-4 days due to production schedules. We make every effort to get our pretzels into people's hands as quickly as possible.
If you would like your pretzels to ship on a certain date, please contact us using the form on the website or whatsup@thepretzelcompany.com. Please note these are just requests, not guarantees.
Product And Handling
Nope. Never. Our pretzels are baked and shipped the same day to you. However, we absolutely recommend that you freeze your pretzels into individual bags within 24 hours of their arrival.
For best results, eat or freeze pretzels into individual bags within 24 hours of receiving them. Once frozen, they will keep in the freezer for about three months. They’re best kept at room temperature until heating.
2) Using your fingers or a spray bottle, lightly moisten pretzel with water until surface glistens
3) Apply salt (about 1 tsp of salt per pretzel; or more. or less. we won’t judge.)
4) Place pretzels on cookie sheet or directly on rack
5) Heat pretzels 3-4 minutes or until hot and crispy
Flour, water, salt, yeast, brown sugar, butter. That's all.

No. Sorry.
