I just read of the passing of Gus, at 92. We're sorry for your loss. We've only been in Pittsburgh a short time, but I'm glad we were able to meet him!

Gus & Yiayia's is a Pittsburgh must-do. Even if not from Pittsburgh, one can appreciate the nostalgia of Gus and his old time ice ball cart. The ice is hand shaved to order. The syrup flavor selection has many options to enjoy alone or as a combination. Summer in a cup! Popcorn and bottled water are also available for sale.

Best ice cones and popcorn since 1934! Gus put two kids and helped two grandkids get thru college with hard work running this cart biz! Park here, Grab a bag of popcorn on your walk to Heinz Field. Tennis courts and national aviary mins away.

Gus and Yiayia’s is a food cart that opened several decades ago and sells ice balls, popcorn, and peanuts. Prices per item are roughly a couple dollars.The menu for ice balls listed over a dozen flavors. I ordered a combination of cherry and orange. The employees spoke nicely to me, and the cup of flavored ice that they made was very flavorful.
The charm of eating a hand-shaved icy ball on a sticky bench while watching some guys you don't know play tennis on a warm summer evening cannot be overstated.

You guys might want to change your hours online. I drove half hour thinking you close at 7 because that's what it says. Show up at 6:36 and you said you are closed. This way it doesn't happen to others

One of the BEST Pittsburgh traditions!Shaved Ice Cone on a hot summer afternoon? Yes Please!Grampa took Dad there, Dad took ME there, I took my daughter there, and I hope it continues!

All the staff are extremely nice and it is a family business, they hand shave the ice from a big ice block in their cart. They also sell beer, popcorn, and peanuts! The ice has many flavors including but not limited to: blueberry, cherry, watermelon, root beer, and much more! The owner is there almost daily and is very nice. 5/5 stars!
