If you have ever driven by and wondered if you should stop, let me encourage you to stop. Yes, parking is difficult. Yes, the line is long. Yes, they move people through very quickly. Yes, it is the best soft-serve ice cream I have ever had. Drop the My wife and I decided to celebrate the final task in exiting an apartment and moving to The Flats. We were able to find parking and got into the line. Along the way we both chose what we wanted until we got to the window. The flavor we decided to get was a limited time one: cookie butter crunch. It was so good! Their menu is massive. You could visit every day in a three month window and never repeat the same order. Their soft-serve is exceptionally creamy. Their flavors are very real tasting. I am planning my next visit! Oh, and all the folks gathered around are kind, friendly, and you will make a new friend. Don't delay...they are not open year round.
I was having a real "Pittsburgh Proud" moment at this ice cream spot. I loved reading about the history of the business and looking through all of the vintage advertisements and memorabilia outside the shop. My first thought after visiting was that I should have come here sooner, and my second thought was already deciding what I want to order next time. I am already planning to order the peanut butter soft serve with warm fudge and a warm cookie after being inspired by their chocolate chip cookie sundae advertisement and will need to ask about what the strawberry shortcake situation is all about as well. For years, I watched the long lines outside and wondered what all the hype was about. Sometimes you don't get it until you "get it" - and now I get it. Fortunately for us, there was barely any line when we arrived even though it was a hot summer day. Even better, it's only about a one-hour walk from my house. The service was also fast and friendly and the employee who helped us was pleasant the whole time which added to the overall experience. I was especially impressed by the peanut butter soft serve. The flavor was rich and pronounced without compromising the smooth, creamy texture of the soft serve. It was everything I would want peanut butter soft serve ice cream to be. I was also surprised by how many soft-serve flavors they offer. Most places have only a few options, but there was plenty to choose from here. That said, it's hard for me to order anything other than the peanut butter soft serve now that I know how much I love it. One thing to know is that they do not offer free samples because the flavors are made to order. Something else to know is that the small sized cone held noticeably more ice cream than the small cup despite being the same price - so if you can I suggest the cone over the cup if you want more ice cream for the same price. I originally chose the cup because my hands weren't clean, but I later realized the cones come with a plastic protector around them anyway. All in all, this is one of those places that lives up to its reputation, and I highly recommend coming here if you are an ice cream aficionado.
Came on a rainy Sunday and the line was not too long! It moved quickly and the workers were really fast and efficient in trying to get everyone's order. I got the strawberry shortcake sundae and it was huge! I did not expect it to be so big so if you're looking to share something this would be it! It's a staple and delicious. I will be coming back to try to different flavors they got going on.
Simply the best. The only ice cream I can remember having that was better than this was the now-defunct Tastee Freez in Coraopolis from the 70s-90s. Page's really has taken things to the next level.
Hands down the best place in the Pittsburgh area for ice cream, sundaes, and other delicious indulgences! The staff is quick, patient, and friendly. Be prepared to wait in line, but it's worth the wait and you'll have time to decide what to order...
Pittsburgh favorite ice cream shop is opened for the season!! One of those ice cream shops where if someone mentions it, you have to go. With so many creative flavors, desserts, and toppings there is something for everyone here. On warm days, wait time can be up to an hour but I promise it's worth the wait. There are informational walls on Page's backstory as you get closer to the ordering wall and a huge menu to look at as you get closer as well. In additional to ice cream, they also serve quick American diner-esque bites, coffees, and drinks. The highlight is the ice cream but these options are not bad as well.
Great ice cream. Huge menu with tons of options and lots of flavors with big portions. The line was long but moved pretty quick. Huge history here and there is obviously a good reason they keep going 75 years later.
Best. Ice cream. Ever. Everything about this place is unforgettable! You won't find another ice cream spot like this- literally under a bridge, lol. The ambience, the vibes, the super friendly service... all of it is impeccable. And the ice cream? Actually delicious. I recommend the ice cream nachos as well, but you can't really go wrong with anything you choose. I love trying new flavors, and so far my favorites have been any of their fall specials and Cookie Monster. Pages Dairy Mart is hands-down the place I miss the most in Pittsburgh. If you haven't tried it yet, you are seriously missing out- go immediately!
Wow, what an incredible staple of Pittsburgh! The history is plastered all over the outside, which you will have time to see as the line can get very long, but trust me, it's worth it. Their specialties are incredible, love that they use so many products from other local businesses, like the famed Nancy B Chocolate Chip cookies. They are somehow even better in their sundae, filled with warm chocolate syrup and soft serve. Plus the energy and vibes are super great, especially in the summertime! Really can't go wrong with anything here, just make sure to try it at least once!
Long long long time fan, first time reviewer. I typically order the same thing but switched it up this last time I went. The Nancy B arctic swirl was so delicious, and I asked them to make it with peanut butter ice cream - definitely the move. This was from opening day this season, so I waited in line for about 30 minutes. This is the only dessert place I care to wait in any crazy line for. No matter how crazy busy this place gets, the staff always has high spirits and genuinely seems happy to be there. I've been coming here all my life and I'll keep coming as long as I can :)
6/28/25 Ate List: Cookie Dough Arctic Swirl - 9.3 Ice Cream Sandwich - 8.2 This might be the best ice cream (as a whole experience) I've ever had. You think ice cream and you want an old school shop, the neon lights, the ice cream that tastes like childhood. This spot checks all the boxes and somehow the ice cream tastes like the best one you remember from childhood. Arctic Swirls, blizzards, flurries, whatever you call it - their cookie dough Arctic swirl was amazing. One of the best I've ever had. The ice cream sandwich was perfectly chilled - not falling apart, not leaving the hands sticky. Flavor was perfection. Costs were a steal and frankly anything I've tried on the menu here makes me want to both explore the menu and never deviate from the amazing dish I know. The best problem to have. This institution is worth all the hype. Isn't summer in Pittsburgh without a stop here.
This is my favorite thing on the menu. There are so many great things to choose from but Potomac bakery has the best brownies in the city. Refroze this and ate it for a few days. Wish they were open year round!
One of the best ice cream places in Pittsburgh by far. The service is amazing and quick. It's very old fashioned location but reminds me of ice cream places past. Very nice place.

Craving some homemade ice cream? Maybe some shaved ice? Nachos or a hamburger? Page Dairy Mart has it all covered! Homemade blueberry ice cream is delicious! With pieces of blueberries in it. Not too sweet but completely enjoyable! Coconut shaved ice is just what you need on a hot sticky day! The place is a small restaurant for take out only. People wrap around the building on most days. If you taste this ice cream you will understand why. It has so much fun foods too! Hot dogs, nachos, hamburgers and steak sandwiches. All at a great reasonable price too! This is a great little gem and has been in business since 1951! You come here once, you will be back again, and again, and again... read more

When I was a kid I used to come here all the time, but it's been about 50 years and it's still here. Every time we visit the City and drive by there is a line. In the middle of a weekday, it wasn't so bad so we stopped. I had a blizzard type treat and their ice cream is the real deal, not that ice milk garbage. My husband had a milkshake and it was so thick, it was yummy. Thumbs up for continuing to run a successful business for so long. read more

Page's is a Pittsburgh ICON. I've been eating their ice cream since before I could walk or talk. The creamy cones are synonymous with summer in Pittsburgh. During the summer, you can expect to wait to get your dessert from Page's, but it's always worth it. They have such a huge selection to choose from, most using their thick soft serve as a starting point. Personally, I find it refreshing from time to time to order just a vanilla soft serve cone. Get back to basics and really enjoy the extra cream that they stir into their mix. I do recommend the dirt sundae. It was my go-to growing up. What's better than finding a rock hard gummy worm nestled into your crunched up Oreo's?? Aside from ice cream, Page's also serves a small menu of hot food. I can remember stopping by during the day with my gramma to get a 35 cent cheeseburger. They are always made fresh on their grill inside next to the banana split station (odd combo, I know.) I was ALWAYs tempted to get the nacho's because you can see them from the ordering window, but always had stage fright going up to that little window. Page's has been around for decades, and it's clear that it will be around for decades longer. If you're looking for an authentic Pittsburgh experience, it always ends with a cone from Page's! read more

Wow! Jason, thank you so much. It was awesome to read this- people…
I've seen this place on many Pittsburgh tv shows and I've always wanted to stop. There always seems to be a big line. We went on a Saturday night and found a decent line, but they keep the line moving quickly. The prices were very fair, less than DQ. The servings were huge! My wife ordered a hot fudge sundae with warm Nancy B cookies (Nancy B's are amazing!!). I ordered a medium blizzard style treat with Nancy B cookies mixed in and on top. Both came rather quickly and were enormous. So big that neither of us were able to finish them. They were so darn good. They have a ton of variety to choose from as well. Huge menu, decent prices, lots to choose from and all delicious. read more
Page's is good! Such a big selection of ice cream/desserts! The line can get long, and it's a little confusing after you order as they just shout out orders to the crowd. Overall though, would definitely recommend! (cash only!) read more
WOW, what a delicious, historical ice cream spot! This has been on my bucket list for a long time because all of the locals recommend this place for ice cream. There is usually a REALLY long line during the summer, wrapped around the little building. Luckily, I went there around 3 PM on Saturday and there was barely a line. I got the coffee soft serve with their crunch topping which is basically oreo crumbles. There are SO many soft serve flavors, about 20! They don't only sell soft serve. My boyfriend got the "yinzer sundae" which I wish I got. It had blondies, caramel, whipped cream, and all of the deliciousness you could imagine in one bowl! There are also milkshakes, smoothies, cookies, brownies, and other scrumptious sweet treats. I think they are well known for the smooth, rich cream they use! Also, there is a huge timeline of their history and they date back to the 1800s! You can't beat that! read more
What a wonderful little place. I heard it was a Pittsburgh "Must Do" experience and I'm glad I went. I already know how I felt about Nancy B cookies (a spot that deserves it's spot on that list twice over) and was delighted to see all the reviews about the Nancy B chocolate chip cookie sundae, so I had to get it. Do not be fooled by the pictures: this can easily serve 2 people and was not meant for 1 excited Yelper on a hot summer afternoon. read more

I wouldn't compare this to an ice cream shop, it's really just great for the soft serve. Like an elevated Dairy Queen. Cool vibe too with the outdoor under and bridge setup. Would go again for an Arctic Swirl. Friend got the oat milk soft serve and thought it was delicious as well. read more
We stopped by Page's for our last meal in Pittsburgh before starting the drive back to Baltimore, and I'm so glad we did. It's a traditional, old-fashioned, retro ice cream stand/burger spot. You'll probably come for the soft-serve, sundaes, or milkshakes, but don't skip the food. It's a to go or enjoy in your car place (no inside seating). We had a cheeseburger, hot dog, extra small vanilla sugar cone with chocolate dip, and another dip cone (can't remember what flavor my husband got)! They offer more than 25 soft serve flavors! They have everything from the traditional to the modern (vegan oat-based soft serve, cold brew milkshakes)! The cheeseburger was a classic - classic burger with American cheese, ketchup, mustard, onion, pickles, and mayo. The hot dog was classic too. And the soft serve really hit the spot on a hot day. This place is a classic. And I 100% enjoyed my meal and my soft serve, the service, and the retro vibes. I would absolutely come back. I might even get exactly the same thing. Is there anything better than a classic cheeseburger and chocolate-dipped soft serve sometimes!? Definitely a place I want to return to on a future trip to Pittsburgh! read more

This place came highly recommended to us as a local gem but we were warned that the place always has a wrap around line with no parking to be found! Well, we drove by and there was no line!!!!!!! We slammed on the brakes and took the chance that fate had allowed us and man it didn't disappoint! We spent a long time reading all the history on the back of the building while enjoying the incredibly delicious ice cream!!! The staff was incredible! Let us take our time figuring out what we wanted and they were very understanding when the 5 year old changed his mind right as we paid! Thank you! Most importantly is they use the 90s/2000s McDonalds water cup as the cups for their freezes and they bring back all the childhood nostalgia read more

Connect to Page's FB or IG and be sure not to miss the fresh, seasonal blueberry soft serve. It's my absolute favorite soft serve and I look forward to it every season. Blueberry is so popular that they'll only sell it in the small and medium sizes. The ice cream is more on the creamy side and Page's is generous with the toppings. The line is always wrapped around the building but moves quickly. The employees are friendly and efficient. Cash only. Parking is a nightmare but doesn't deter my visits. Happy 70th Birthday Page Dairy Mart! read more

The best tasting ice cream ever! Flavor and texture is all there! It's creamy and just the perfect texture. They collaborate with Nancy B's ( the BEST chocolate chip cookie ) on a hot fudge chocolate chip cookie ice cream sundae it's SO good! I also love the drinks with Big Dog Coffee! Love coming here every summer & fall! read more
I am SO hooked on this ice cream! I had the blueberry soft serve a few years ago with a friend, and loved it! I hadn't been back until a few weeks ago when I was bike riding on the trail nearby. Over the train tracks I spotted the Page's ice cream cone sign. I couldn't figure out how to get off the trail and over to the ice cream shop until I saw a man cross the railroad tracks eating an ice cream cone. Apparently other people had the same idea as I did. I left my boyfriend with the bikes and ran across the tracks and over to Page's. I got him a blueberry soft serve and I tried the toasted coconut. OMG the toasted coconut is unreal. It tastes like a toasted coconut donut. I am obsessed. When I posted photos, I got so many responses asking if I got the dairy free. I didn't even realize they had that! When we went yesterday, I ordered the dairy free (oat based) made into toasted coconut and dipped in chocolate (shoutout to Angie C. for the suggestion). My boyfriend tried the raspberry cheesecake arctic swirl and my brother tried the warm Nancy B's chocolate chip cookie sundae. Everything was great (and huge portions). The warm cookie sundae was enough for 2-3 people to share. The dairy free ice cream I got was perfect. This is absolutely my new ice cream order. We waited in line for about 20 minutes, and when we left the line was much longer. Side note- they do accept credit cards now. This place is worth the wait! read more

It's hotter than blazes outside so naturally I needed to try the ice cream place that everyone raves about. I was told by many people to try the chocolate chip cookie sundae so that's what I did. And wow! First off it's huge. Definitely was not expecting that. I knew right away that I would not be able to finish it all at once. Second, it was less than $7 which is awesome in my book especially because it's too big to eat in one sitting. Third, it tasted like heaven. I know how busy this place can get so I tried to go closer to opening time and there was still a line. Will definitely be back and can't wait to try more things! read more

Thank you, Courtney!
Decided to stop by Page Dairy Mart for the first time ever last night after a Riverhounds game and WOW am I glad we did - it completely lives up to the hype! We arrived and parked in their unassuming parking lot and got in (the very long) line. It was pushing 10pm and we were nervous about whether or not we'd be served before they closed. Amazingly, he incredible staff in PDM served every customer until the line was over. They were SO gracious and kind and they deserved every tip on the planet for being so awesome, in spite of the late night and the long long that remained at 10! By the time we reached the front of the line I decided to try the famous chocolate chip cookie sundae with pecans. When I say this was the best ice cream treat I've had in SUCH a long time, I mean it - an incredible warm cookie, delicious custard-y ice cream, hot fudge, and salty nuts? It was every bit as delicious as I hoped for, and again, the staff put their all into making great quality products despite the lateness of the evening. I'm so impressed and truly cannot wait to return. My husband (who enjoyed an enormous soft serve cone) said "it's a good thing we don't live closer, otherwise we'd be there every day." He's right - but that doesn't mean we won't be back as soon as possible! read more

Thank you so much Renee for taking the time to write us this amazing…
I've driven past here several times and have seen it with literally 100 people wrapped around the side, so it has to be good, right? Yes. My first experience having something from here was on my special day. I had requested an ice cream cake for my birthday and my friend Jash was all like no it's going to melt in the sun. We compromised and had it indoors instead of at the picnic. I said I wanted a Dairy Queen cake and he decided to order from here instead. I was so mad, like, it was my birthday and should get what I wanted. Either way, he got me one from here and boy was I surprised. It was so much better than Dairy Queen (still love you), but it was richer, creamier, and did not leave me disappointed. Will absolutely return here again. Jash, if you're reading this, please buy me another cake. read more
This is my second time at pages and I can't wait to come back again. Not only do me and Pages dairy mart share the same name they also have amazing ice cream and so many flavors to choose from. They also have dairy free options like oat milk ice cream. This time I got butter pecan soft serve on a sugar cone. It was wonderful! They also have blueberry soft serve that looked intriguing I'll have to try that next time. read more

I've been to Page's multiple times, and it's one of my favorite places to go in Pittsburgh for dessert at night. The custard/soft serve is to die for. The menu is huge, and I generally get something new each time I go, but there is still so much to try. I recently got the peach sundae. It was sweet, but refreshingly so because of the fruit. (I highly recommend). I also think their burgers are good for the price (under $3!), and the fries are great too! Overall, Page's Dairy Mart is a great experience for a great price! read more

This place is busy every time I go! Before I moved to Pittsburgh, I remember going on an air bnb date with my partner, driving by this place and seeing the line. "WOAH, what's going on there?!" "That's Page's Dairy Mart-- I'll take you there next time you visit!" Little did I realize, they completely close down in the winter. It became a goal of mine to go there after a good date night. Yesterday, after seeing a $5 Monday movie at the south side works cinema, we went to Pages. We've been a few times together now, and I think on it fondly. They have a classic soft serve, very tasty, with almost every flavor I could imagine wanting. I become overwhelmed at the menu. I find that going with a peanut butter sundae with whipped cream, a chocolate dip cone, or a butterfinger shake is always good. Parking can be a bit sticky... but it does have its own lot. Order at the front and then pay CASH ONLY when you pick up. Make sure to lick at your treat as you read the history of Page's Dairy Mart, which can be found on the wall opposite of the ordering window. read more

Thank you, Jenn!
How is it possible that I have never reviewed Page's (how any proper Pittsburgher refers to this spot)? It's a Pittsburgh institution and most definitely the first place I think to take an out-of-owner when it comes to Pittsburgh ice cream spots. The soft serve is delicious, but what really makes this place is the collaborations with fellow Pittsburgh small businesses like Nancy B's chocolate chip cookies, local cinnamon buns, blondies (try the Yinzer sundae!) and banana bread. Look for the "Made in Pittsburgh" marker on the little banner ads they have hanging on the windows while you wait in line, and those would be the go-to items in my opinion. I can honestly say I've never had a bad item here. The Nancy B's (best chocolate chip cookie in the city) and Yinzer are two favorites, but one day they were out of both toward the end of the season and I got the cinnamon bun sundae which was surprisingly light with crunchy pastry pieces. The seasonal soft-serve flavors are also a big favorite; try the blueberry (a very fast melter so get eating quick), during summer, and pumpkin and apple during fall. They were briefly accepting cards via online ordering/curbside pickup earlier during Covid but are back to cash only, so bring your cash unless you want to pay an onsite ATM fee, and be prepared for some long lines and challenging parking during peak summer evening or weekend hours. It's worth it. read more
If you see the line wrapped around the building, you should still stop because it is absolutely worth the wait. Got the Nancy B's cookie sundae & it was amazing. The cookie is warm & the ice cream is delicious. They have a ton of dairy free options as well. Everything I've tried here has been good & the prices are affordable. read more

This place has amazing soft serve! I'm always on the lookout for good soft serve when I visit a new city and this didn't disappoint. Great soft serve should be smooth, creamy, even buttery in texture--not like the icy, grainy, watered down powdered stuff you'd get at the big fast food chains. I'd compare the texture to Carvel, but Page's has so many more flavors to choose from. It's like licking a fluffy dairy cloud. Absolutely perfect. read more
I've heard so many great things about this ice cream shop and I finally got a chance to check it out. This place is super popular, we ended up waiting in line for maybe 15-20 minutes but the ice cream is worth the wait. I got the butterscotch sundae and the ice cream was so incredibly creamy. Probably one of the best soft serves I've ever had in my life. The parking situation here is pretty bad though so be prepared if you make the drive over and try going earlier in the day to avoid a huge crowd. The ice cream here is so good though that it's worth the trip! read more
