The only logical way to escape Pittsburgh’s hot weather is to enjoy a scoop of  ice cream! With endless amounts of flavors and preparation methods, it’s a diverse dessert that everyone can appreciate. Here’s the scoop on where to get the best ice cream in Pittsburgh!

Klavon's Ice Cream Parlor

The ice cream here is as good as it was back in the 1920s. The Retro Float – cherry syrup, vanilla syrup, Coca-Cola, and vanilla ice cream will transport you back in time! Whether you choose a classic sundae, ice cream soda or float – Klavon’s Ice Cream Parlor is guaranteed to bring out the inner child!

Millie's

Did you hear the “scoop?” Millie’s Homemade Ice Cream serves up some of the best ice cream in Pittsburgh! Owners Chad and Lauren Townsend make each sweet treat with love and all natural, real ingredients. Dogs are welcomed at Millie’s and are known to eat a scoop of vanilla (or two). They also offer multiple dairy-free options (we suggest the berry chocolate).
