50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Penn Hills

“Very tasty ice cream and all kinds of flavored gelatos. All kinds of combination. The fruit flavors are very good true to the fruit flavor. I like peach which tends to be a soft flavor. and can easily taste fake. But not at Rita’s Same with the mango.“

“Our favorite!! Never disappoints!“

“This is a special place. Liege waffles are very different than anything I've ever had. They are made from a yeast dough, with caramelized brown sugar inside, smallish, and served warm in a napkin so that you can take it with you while window shopping. Please note: these are not meant to be served with ice cream on top. The ice cream and waffles are both very good by themselves. The owner only serves them together because people ask for that, but I think they ask for it because they think that's how it's meant to be served. (At least, that's what we thought!)“

“Chelsea & her crew are the best! We love Dari Delite as our neighborhood ice cream spot, it’s got such a feel good vibe & tons of great flavor choices. Highly recommend!“

“best fruit parfait ever.“

“Everything in the city is overpriced… EXCEPT this spot!! I got a full cup with tons of toppings and it was well under $10. Speaking of toppings, they had fresh and juicy fruit alongside plenty of other sweets or crunches. The place is small, with around 8 froyo machines, but the flavors are delicious and it works wonderfully. Don’t walk, run for froyo here!!“

“Best local ice cream shop this side of the river“

“Always great ice cream and the girl serving was very kind and hard-working!“

“My wife and kids (9 + 5) stopped in a couple of times on our recent vacation to Pittsburgh. Millie's was busy but moved quickly, and the options were plentiful. Everyone enjoyed what they got... well, my wife got a Shirley Temple and didn't enjoy it but I ate it, so it was enjoyed. Very comfortable and family-friendly environment. Or just a nice place to hang out on the sidewalk and have an ice cream.“

“This delightful little shoppe needs to be on your Can’t Miss list! The Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream is some of the best in the world…but it’s the PEOPLE that make this place special! Yvonne and her crew really make you feel welcome and take service to the next level! I’ll be back…again and again…“

Joe's has an extremely polite staff and courteous that catered to my needs when all I had was my debit card. They fixed my family with their needs as I drove to the ATM.“

“Great local family owned ice cream shop. The owners and employees are friendly and the Perry's ice cream selections that are constantly changing are delicious. I am always checking what flavors they are offering, looking for my favorites. They now offer grab & go pints, ice cream sandwiches & ice cream pies.“

“Single scoop custard in a cake cone was delicious and generous portion! We tried pistachio, and purple cow. Both were excellent, and our ice cream scooping young lady was very friendly and did a great job. Definitely will head back there.“

“The best chocolate ice cream I had ever tried here! I love Edwards Ice Cream it is the best ice cream shop I had ever been too except like Joe Zeppi's and other ice cream shops it is so good it is near my grandparents house like 2 minutes away from here and you can walk to it from here it is the best ice cream I had ever tried! Let others eat this good ice cream.“

“The lavender lemon cake and founding flavors are incredible. Probably my two new favorites!!! Highly Recommend !!!“

“We discovered this place as we were walking in New Ken for the first time seeing what kinds of stores they had. We decided to come in the Lucky Duck, because it’s summer so why not have ice cream before noon . The moment you walk in the store you feel like a kid again with all the different kinds of candy to pick from and the smell of the fresh baked waffle cones . As soon as we walked in we were greeted! They have penn state creamery ice cream and I have never had that before so I orders the Death by Chocolate. Best ice cream I ever had ! The price is great for the amount of ice cream you get !“

“Great staff! Gooood ice cream!“

“Yummy! While on our June summer road trip with our kids, we were in the mood for something sweet and decided to try out The Meadows for their famous custard. We were not disappointed! The building is very welcoming from the outside. All painted with ice cream cones and Adirondack chairs sitting around. In the front, you have tables where you can sit outside and enjoy the air. Inside you have tables and chairs in a brightly painted, cheerful room. There is also a life-size connect 4 game where the kids can play. My son and I enjoyed a game while eating our custard. It was a busy day, but the workers did great. They were very friendly. We all went for the original vanilla and we’re very impressed. I loved my waffle cone! It was a very hot day and these definitely hit the spot! Highly recommend! Good for kids! Boosters and high chairs available. *Wheelchair accessible entrance, seating, parking lot and restroom. Offers eat in, take out that you can get through the drive-through window or the walk up window and delivery. Credit and debit cards accepted.“

“Millie’s is genuinely the best ice cream I’ve ever had & the staff is friendly no matter the location you’re visiting!! The Murrysville shop is clean, cute & super welcoming :) I love bringing everyone I know to find their favorite Millie’s flavor 🍦 Megan Sweeney is the General Manager of the Murrysville shop & she’s truly the SWEETEST 🥹✨ I can’t recommend Millie’s enough, especially if you’re visiting from out of state!! A true Pittsburgh staple that you must try ASAP 🩷“

“Millie’s is absolutely amazing. While working in the area. I had the pleasure of meeting Steven. I inquired where his business was and that I would need to come and try his ice cream. Surprise he brought me and my coworkers a goodie bag. The strawberry pretzel, s’mores, cookies and cream, and chocolate was the most delicious I have ever tasted. Oh and those waffle cones ♥️“

“Wonderful staff and amazing ice cream !! Highly recommend!!“

“Best customer service and lattes!“

“Delicious and always served with a friendly smile! Black Cherry“

“This might just be the best ice cream that has ever touched my tongue. It made me feel heavenly and ascend. The chocolate and gameday are spectacular flavors that are truly changing the game. Once you try you will never want to eat anything else again. I could eat this for breakfast lunch and dinner, maybe even midnight snack. Thank you for your service.“

“Fantastic milkshake and chocolate covered strawberries!“

“What a wonderful surprise! This is a hidden gem! Delicious treat, high quality, very generous servings, reasonable price, huge selection, and wonderful friendly staff! We will return!“

“I check the weekly offerings and try to plan a trip when something sounds appealing. I will say that I have enjoyed 95% of the ones I tried. You can't go wrong with the semi-sweet chocolate chip. The pineapple upside down cake was delicious. The orange creamsicle flavor was spot on. They recently had a peanut butter crisp cookie featuring Butterfinger. It tasted like the candy bar in cookie form.“

“I’ve been wanting to try here for a while, and finally got the chance!
I absolutely love that you can custom your “level” of matcha.
I got a level 2 - iced banana pudding matcha
It was so good! Perfect flavor of matcha to sweetener ratio!
We also got a level 2 iced strawberry oat matcha!
The fresh strawberry puree was wonderful!
Both were so good, I don’t think I could pick a favorite! Definitely looking forward to going back!“

“biscuits and gravy slaps, their burritos slap, they have a wild amount of drink options. The dining room is typically always clean, they do get packed sometimes because of how good they can be. They worked very hard to get where they are in the industry here in the 719. make sure to support your local businesses no matter what! This place had dreams of being a restraunt and made it happen!“

“Great Staff & Cappuccino Blast“
