Pioneer Supermarket

I'm a huge Pioneer fan. We moved into Manhattan from the suburbs recently and I was wondering where I would do all my grocery shopping. I tried Pioneer on Columbus and 74th and now I'm hooked. Their selection and range of products is amazing. They always seem to have exactly what I need and the store is very clean. The meat and fish are first rate and always super fresh. It's well managed and the cashiers are nice. It's a great place to shop.

Pioneer has groceries the other chain supermarkets (Gristedes, Key Food, etc.) don't. They are well known for a huge selection of beers, they also offer excellent imported Italian delicacies at great prices. They have *every* type of flour there is. There's a good selection of meats. The fresh produce department is pretty basic. Prices seem to be lower than the chain supermarkets.

This store is pretty decent. I wish it had a self checkout. The cashiers put a damper on things.They act like you don’t exist as they ring you up. They just talk to each other and ignore you. Everyone has bad days and customer service isn’t exactly enjoyable...but damn. It’s like Groundhog Day. (There are 2 nice ones though).

An amazing store operated and staffed by the most remarkable group of people. We loved the place from the time we first moved to the neighborhood a few years ago but the effort the managers made to stay open and safe during the pandemic cemented the relationship for eternity. The managers work hard to keep up with the neighborhoods ever changing population and its tastes. The prices are fair. They can't be as low on every single item as Amazon or Trader Joes. Remember it is an independent business, not a national or international corporation. Nonetheless: Before and during Passover I noticed the OPPOSITE of price gouging: several essential ingredients, including walnuts and Concord grape juice, were on sale. The men working in the produce section regularly tap me on the shoulder to point me to a more perfect pineapple or bunch of bananas than the pineapple or bananas I've chosen. The women who work the registers are among the most intelligent, the friendliest, and the most good humored -- you can see their smiles right through their masks -- New Yorkers you will ever meet. Pioneer Market Forever.

good place. some stuff a little pricy but great prices on others. very limited if any energy drink options so would love to see improvement there. Especially full throttle energy would be nice to see but really just anything
