Page Dairy Mart

I‘m always so excited when this place opens back up! I have been in Pittsburgh for 3 years now, and i just ADORE this place!!! There is no other ice cream shop like it!
Only complaint i have is that the lines get long but that is to be expected.

The lines are always superrrrrrrrrr long, but well worth the wait. Chocolate chip cookie sundae is to die for! Somehow the keep the cookie super soft, moist, and still warm like it was fresh out of the over. Many windows so line moves rather quickly. Cash only which sucks, but for a few there is an atm onsite

I LOVE Page Dairy Mart (PDM for short). Every spring for the 6 years that I lived in Pittsburgh we would count down the days until PDM opened. PDM has seen me at my best and my worst. I’ve paid Mr. Page in coin change I found on the floor of my car for a brownie sundae. I’ve gone twice in one day. I’ve waited in lines way longer than I care to admit just for a sweet, sweet brownie sundae.
These people are NICE, good people. One fateful day my roommate and I decided to swing down to PDM for a sweet treat. Little did I know I would face one of my life’s greatest humiliations to date. After enjoying our ice cream, we went to get in the car to drive home and it would NOT start. It just wasn’t happening. We called AAA, we laughed a little bit, but as our wait grew longer and longer my dairy induced emergency grew more and more dire. I struggled, could I really ask them to use their restroom? How totally embarrassing. Y’all, I’ve seen the inside of PDM and it’s just as incredible as you’d ever imagine. Thank you, kind high school boy, for letting me into your ice cream shop and into your heart. They may have made fun of me later, but in the moment they were super gracious and wonderful.
PDM will always hold a special place in my heart. Go! And if your car won’t start, don’t fear. They’ll take care of you.

Wow! Incredible quality for a little ice cream stand. Typical cones, sundaes, and milkshakes. But a menu of burgers, fries, nachos, etc. and items like the raspberry toasted almond tort sundae really set this place a part from competitors. Worth the trip.

This is a nice drive-​in ice cream mart which has a wide variety of items including cones, shakes, sundaes, … It is at a busy intersection and parking can be tricky and it can be crowded. The crowded times speak to its popularity though. With many places to choose for ice cream in Pittsburgh, I come to Page because it serves a wickedly good toasted coconut ice cream. Well worth the trip even if you have to wait.

On a busy Saturday night, my friend took me here telling me that the ice cream here is very good. I tried the Yinzer, which contained heath bar, chocolate and white chocolate pieces in a warm hot caramel topping. It was literally the calorie bomb, but I should have expected that; I really felt as if I ate another meal because for the price of about $ 4.50, the portion was humongous. It was delicious but little too sweet, but I am pretty sure that sweetness was due to the caramel topping and whipping cream. All in all though, this is a good ice cream joint.

This is always our go-​to ice cream place. My kids and I have been coming for years! Lines can get a little hectic, but it’s worth the chaos.
They have everything from flavored soft serve, to tropical snow, to milkshakes, to sundaes, to Arctic swirls (blizzards). Not to mention their other hot food, such as their fries and burgers, plus straight-​from-​the-​barrel root beer, all make for a pretty satisfying treat on a warm summer night.

Page Dairy Mart (or simply PDM, as my friends and I call it) is nothing short of wonderful. Cheap prices for giant, delicious ice cream treats. What more could you ask for?
It’s a tiny little place (window service only) on a random corner underneath an overpass. But don’t let the appearance and location fool you; you will not leave disappointed.
A personal favorite of mine is the chocolate chip cookie sundae. It’s made with one of Nancy B’s chocolate cookies (hands down one of the best cookies in existence – in college I worked for a coffee shop that sold these, and we would literally rejoice when one broke in half because that meant we couldn’t sell it and would get to eat it). Anyway, the cookie is warmed up and served atop vanilla soft-​serve ice cream with hot fudge and whipped cream. I think most people usually assume that all soft serve ice cream is basically the same, but Page will prove you wrong. It reaches a whole new level of creamy deliciousness.
It’s cash-​only and there is usually a line, but it moves quickly and the service is friendly. You won’t be disappointed by this iconic summer favorite.

I don’t understand the big hype over this place. I think (like many other Pittsburgh places) that this is a «Pittsburgh thing».
I’m also not a fan of soft served ice cream.

Page’s has become my family’s go-​to ice cream. My favorite is the birthday cake which contains ACTUAL BIRTHDAY CAKE. If you’re feeling sassy, ask them to dip it in peanuts. There’s always a line and parking can be dicey so bring your bike or compact car! It can also be a pain to get out of this place when there’s traffic.

Dude… the Cookie sundae
Hidden between the Waterfront and Southside in a pretty random area, it’s pretty easy to miss this place. Surrounded by hills and located under a bridge. The only other thing nearby is a car place. But this is Pittsburgh, it seems to me that some of the best things in the city are hidden.
Ice cream is soft serve and is your pretty standard good ice cream: creamy, soft, cold, with authentic flavors. It’s delicious. But honestly, good ice cream can be found in many places in Pittsburgh.
So what makes this place stand out from all the other ice cream places in Pittsburgh is the fact that they have delicious sundaes. My favorite is the cookie sundae, which has fresh-​out-​of-​the-​oven-​melt-​in-​your-​mouth cookies on top of a mountain of ice cream and hot fudge. They use Nancy B’s bakery cookies. Yum.
The menu is HUGE. So no, I haven’t tried everything. Also, I’ve found love in the cookie sundae, so I may just stick to that.
Place is cash-​only.

Over-​hyped. I thought that Page’s tasted like an average soft-​serve ice cream shop. I was also surprised about the lack of flavors that they offered, there was no cookies and cream or sorbets.
I ordered a small Chocolate Chip ice cream with rainbow sprinkles and my boyfriend ordered the Strawberry Shortcake sundae. My Chocolate Chip ice cream tasted identical to Breyer’s boxed ice cream from the grocery store. I may have ordered the wrong item but because it is soft-​serve ice cream they don’t offer samples. My boyfriend had the Strawberry Shortcake sundae which had 3 pieces of cake on the bottom, 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream, strawberry syrup, strawberries (not fresh), almonds and whipped cream. It was huge and they didn’t allow him to swap flavors or make any adjustments.
Maybe my expectations of Page’s were too high, but when I had heard about this ice cream shop whose line wrapped down the street I knew I had to check this place out. When I went on a Friday night there was no line and the ice cream was sub-​par.

I don’t love ice cream, I’m more of a salty snack girl, but this place is a dream come true. They just came out with their yearly blueberry soft serve magic. The signs on E Carson leading up to Page’s tease me to stop in daily on my work commute but I couldn’t pass up the blueberry and it did not disappoint! There is something about the friendly neighborhood ice cream joint that opens and closes with the seasons. Page’s is a must try at least once a year, even if you don’t love ice cream!

Page’s…A Love Poem
Oh Page’s, How I love thee…
With your swirled frozen peaks
And sundaes covered in rainbow jimmies,
Leaves me smiling, cheek to cheek.
Page’s has been a regular family outing as far back as I can remember and clearly the popularity doesn’t stop with just my family. From opening day to closing you will find people willing to line up around the block to get their ice cream fix.
No other ice cream location in Pittsburgh even comes close to rivaling this outstanding soft serve experience. Our usual order consists of the basics: swirled soft serve (cup or cone) dipped in crunches or jimmies.
Not only do they have soft serve but also a wide variety of insane sundae creations and other novelties. And don’t forget about the shaved ice — which comes in basically ever flavor you could imagine.
Visiting Page’s isn’t just about ice cream, it’s about making a pilgrimage to quite possibly the city’s signature ice cream experience.

If you love soft serve, this is the place to go. There’s history, tradition, the beauty of neon lights, plus really wonderful ice cream.
You simply must experience the blueberry soft serve which is usually a limited time offering (not sure when it runs, but they had it there last night, June 8).
Page is cash only, just so you know. It’s definitely worth the trip.
There’s a small parking lot, so you can sit and eat your ice cream, as you may need to give it your full attention.
Anyway, go for the nostalgia or go for the great ice cream, either way you win!

I’ve been waiting to try Page Dairy Mart because i live so close, but didnt have access until i recently bought my car.
We stopped in last night for the first time. There are soooooo many options. The menu itself is huge, then all around the windows they advertise even more options! I couldn’t get a good look at the menu because the line was long & heads were in the way. The next thing i know, it was my turn and i still couldn’t decide.
I asked if they had a brownie sundae and ordered that. Bobby said he was only thirsty and ordered a banana shake.
I enjoyed my sundae but next time I will try something different that’s on their menu. They had so many options for an arctic swirl so I’m looking forward to trying one of those next. Also, the banana split i noticed someone having was gigantic. Also, the ice cream itself on a cone even look delicious. I’m so glad to finally have access here and to live a 5 minute drive away!

I filmed my music video to a song called ICE CREAM ROAD here. This place will always be a place that’s important to me in Pittsburgh. Beyond that, it’s just a awesome family owned Ice Cream Parlor.
If there’s a type of ice cream or sundae or frozen dairy concoction you love they got it. From blend ins to banana splits and hot fudge sundaes and flavored soft serve. Speaking of, you can combine flavors which I just learned of and blended peanut butter and banana, it tasted exactly how I had hoped.
This place gets ridiculously busy on a hot day so be ready to stand in line for a half hour if its one of those days. While you stand in line copy and paste the info below into YouTube
HITTofMCM — ICE CREAN ROAD
You can listen to introspective raps in front of the same place and road the video was made while they blend your soft serve.

I have to go back to this place! It’s a gem hiding in an old gas station. I had the cinnamon roll Sunday and it was just big and amazing. I mean for $ 4.25 it was big. I mean it’s like the size of something from the Cheesecake Factory but with a price from the 90s. They have a massive selection and it’s hard to pick. If everything is as good as what I had today I can’t wait to try something different every time I go back from now on. This place is a must try.

Everyone waits for Page’s to open in the Spring and is sad when it closes for the winter. It’s a small establishment with no seating, but there is always a line at the order windows. Page’s is a Pittsburgh landmark. My family has been going for 20 years but it’s been around for many many years.
Page’s serves hamburgers, icecream cones, sundaes, shakes, pretty much anything you can do with ice cream. .. and it’s all good. One of my favorite’s is a sundae made with a Nancy B’s cookie. (Please tell me that you know what a Nancy B cookie is!) but sometimes I order just a simple twist.
People hang out in the parking lot and eat there ice cream. They bring their kids and dogs and everyone is chatty and happy. It’s a fun place to be.

I visited this place last night on a bike ride, which allowed me to feel less guilty about my small chocolate-​dipped cone. I wouldn’t call myself a huge fan of soft serve ice cream in general, but the stuff they serve here is so incredibly smooth and creamy! I’ve been here twice before, and one of these times, I ordered the chocolate chip cookie sundae, which was incredible! The warmth of the cookie and hot fudge, and the coolness of the ice cream was pure bliss. While there last night, I saw a sign in the window advertising a cinnamon roll sundae – guess I know what I’m getting next time!
EDIT: Tried the cinnamon roll sundae, and was given a stale cinnamon roll. Also, they didn’t have maple syrup the day I ordered it, and it tasted weird with butterscotch syrup. I’ll be sticking to the cookie and brownie sundaes from now on. 4.5 stars.
