Serving Douglas County & beyond—this isn’t just a pretzel, it’s THE pretzel.

A lot of people know the story about why and how Pretzelly started, but I still get asked one question frequently: Okay, but like, WHY pretzels?

The thing is I have always fu***ng loved pretzels. Soft. Hard. Sweet. Savory. Traditional shape. Bites. Bun. If it’s a pretzel, I’m in.

I attribute a lot of this obsession to the coupon books we used to get as a part of the school fundraisers. Specifically, the 3 free Wetzel’s Pretzels coupon. My dad used to flip games at GameStop and the pretzel was our reward. So going to the great mall (RIP) meant getting a pretzel and I never grew out of it.

Go to the mall? I’m getting a pretzel. Pretzel as an appetizer? Yes please. Ball game pretzel? Always. Bags of hard pretzels? There is ALWAYS at least one bag in my car and one in the pantry.

They are, without a doubt, my favorite food.

So when people ask me why I decided to start a pretzel business, I guess the answer is actually pretty simple: I am trying to save money.

Unfortunately, people didn’t take 900 pictures of their children every day when I was growing up, so I don’t have a collection of baby Allyssa photos documenting the MANY pretzels I have consumed.

So you’ll just have to settle for a picture of one of my own little pretzel-obsessed kid. The obsession must be genetic.

And the weather has decided to be a GIANT BUZZKILL yet again.

Unfortunately, Forest View Elementary has cancelled their fall festival for tonight.

We’re keeping our fingers crossed that things clear up, because assuming the weather cooperates and Wellsville Days doesn’t end up being cancelled, WE’LL BE THERE TOMORROW!

Kansas weather: can we PLEASE just behave for one damn weekend?!

Someone sent me this picture through the window and it has me screaming 😂

But I guess since they already caught me, here’s a TINY glimpse of what we’re doing in here.

I’m still keeping the big reveal under wraps though. But trust me, it’s going to be VERY pink in here.

OTTAWA, WE’RE COMING TONIGHT! 🚨

OCTOBER IS FILLING UP FAST and I am working on FINALIZING our October schedule!

Where do you want to see Pretzelly in October?!

Comment your city, business, neighborhood, favorite event, whatever below. If there’s somewhere you’ve been waiting for us to come, TELL ME.

I am trying to be a little smarter about where we put the truck this month. If you’ve noticed diesel prices lately… yeah. that hurts.

So if you’re thinking “WHY DON’T THEY EVER COME HERE?!” this is your chance.

One little reminder: We still cannot operate on the Missouri side for regular public stops. We can come over for catering/private events, but otherwise we’re sticking to Kansas for now.

October is already getting busy, and we’re excited to see where the truck ends up!

My brain has been running with 429 tabs open lately, so I have absolutely nothing profound to say today.

I met Sully, snuggled him for a bit, and briefly experienced inner peace. 10/10 would recommend.

I learned yesterday that Cinnafluff is the most popular Fave this year.

Cinnamon sugar + marshmallow + Nutella?! That’s a pretty dang good combination.

But what is YOUR favorite Fave?

S’mores? Churro? Sweet & Salty? Caramel Cloud? CINNAFLUFF?

I wanna know which one you’re picking! 🩷

35,000. WHAT THE ACTUAL KNOT.

I swear I blinked and we went from celebrating 15k to 35,000 people.

When I started Pretzelly, I never imagined that 35,000 people would care about what we’re doing enough to follow along. And it’s not just the number, it is the people behind it.

The people who:
-drive across the state for a pretzel
-tag their friends
-bring their friends and family
-share events with us
-get us to cater their companies
-encourage us when we feel low

The people who helped us turn from a little food trailer into, whatever it is we are building now.

You guys have watched me figure things out in real time: wins, disasters, ugly boxes, weather cancellations, construction, new trucks, new kitchen, the very questionable business decisions, literally everything.

Thank you for being here, truly. I cry a few times a week at the reality of getting to live my dream. I genuinely wouldn’t be standing here holding funny balloon numbers in front of a pink truck without you.

WE’RE BACK OUT IN THE WILD!

After last week’s burst private catering, we are SO freaking excited to get back out and see all of you!

We have a full week and we cannot wait to see your faces, feed you pretzels, and cause some knotty chaos.

We are working our butts off to make sure we have enough drinks stocked because you guys are going through SO. MANY. MORE. than I ever imagined!

So grab your friends, come say hi, and get a Pretzelly fix! If this is YOUR city, tag the friend who NEEDS a Pretzelly pretzel now that the fall air has officially landed!

WE SURVIVED ART IN THE PARK! And what. a. weekend.

Yesterday, the heat got one of our employees, so I ended up running the afternoon by myself. Then we had a call-out today (absolutely no hard feelings, life happens!) so I was back at it running the afternoon solo.

I’m not a huge fan of thinking about how old I am, but my body is filing some complaints tonight. But I would do it all over again.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out this weekend. Every person who bought a pretzel, said hello, congratulated us, told us how much you love Pretzelly, we appreciate the hell out of you.

And a special thank you to the couple who drove from Texas to Kansas City for the Chiefs game and went out of their way to come find us because they’d seen Pretzelly online. I will never get over stuff like that.

So tonight, I’m celebrating surviving the weekend the only way I know how: birria eggrolls from el zocalo!

Cheers to another crazy weekend in the books!
