Pierogi are Eastern European, while ravioli are Italian. They use the same dough but contain different fillings and are differently cooked. The traditional ravioli filling is ricotta cheese, and pierogi are filled with potatoes. Both come in many variations. Both ravioli and pierogi are delicious, but they are different in taste and texture. courtesy of JBC
They are both delicious, but considering I am an Honorary Italian (neighbors bestowed that on me years ago), I pick ravioli as my favorite.

I’ll take this. This is the beef raviolis that I’ve known my whole life 😊
I've seen so many people use so many different fillings for both ravioli and pierogi that I consider them to be the same thing except for how the filling is enclosed by the pasta.
Their shape, in other words.
The sauce traditionally used on ravioli sets it apart, but the same sauces, red or cream, could be used with pierogi depending on their filling.
I like ravioli and pierogi equally.
I can't say that I've ever had pierogi. I've had ravioli with various fillings. Lobster filling is wonderful.
I'd love to try pierogi, though. Sounds delish.
Do they ever use meat fillings? I'm thinking ground sausage. And do they ever use sauces?love both but prefer ravioli. i feel like it's easier to find decent ravioli whereas, despite the ease in making it, a good pierogi generally is harder to find. especially outside of certain areas
I've never tried the second one, so I'd have to pick ravioli. But tortellini is a nice pasta next to ravioli. But next year I might try some pierogi from a food truck.
Ravioli
I had no idea or have ever heard of pierogis before in my life, till I saw this question
So in addition to not using the worlds most awful cheese the Polish have gone with double carbs and as they haven't wasted time making the edges frilly i can't have more of them for the same money?
No brainer.
I love both but I'm slightly partial to ravioli. Pasta is my weakness :)
Being from Georgia, we eat Pierogi more often. So, Pierogi.
Love me some pierogi, especially when it's golden brown with butter.
I like potato and cheese pierogis and have them far more often than ravioli. So my choice based on my real life is pierogis.
I like Pierogi with Hamburgers (mixed with egg and Italian breadcrumbs.)
Both. Depending on the recipes and how well they made 🥰😋
I love pasta I want both and some stuffed manicotti
