The Scoop

The Scoop is a great way to fill your ice cream itch, especially if you can't find a good local hard ice cream.The menu is pretty extensive, with shakes, sundaes and specialty fried treats complemented by tons of flavor options. I got a standard banana split, and snuck a bite of a few other dishes, including a deep fried oreo sundae and some hard ice cream in a waffle cone.All were very good, though I'd say the soft ice cream of the banana split was a step below the others. When I come back, it'll be hard ice cream or bust - though the ENORMOUS cookie sandwiches (with Nancy B's cookies) may tempt me to try soft one more time.

I'm hard to impress. I grew up eating Page's so admittedly am an ice cream snob. While I still love Page's Dairy, it seems like the rest of the city does. The line is always extremely long and it isn't as close to us now that we've moved. We attempted Page's yesterday, a random Monday evening and the line was no less an hour wait which I just didn't have time for so we left without ice cream. I was talking to someone about it and they asked if I'd ever been the The Scoop. I'd never even heard of it! The stars aligned and we were able to sneak out this afternoon. I'm hard to impress and gosh was I impressed. The place was a fancy upscale version of Page's and just as delicious. The sundae creations were something I'd expect to find in Vegas. Fun, whimsical and delicious. There were so many options that it was hard to choose just 1. While there is some overlap in menu items - a Nancy B cookie sundae, a Blondie sundae, they really set themselves apart with their unique creations. Churros are my favorite food and I haven't been able to find a legit one in years. The deep fried Oreo sundae is brilliant as is the funnel cake. Such unique and fun combinations. The serving size was generous as were the toppings. The employees were kind and patient. The place was inviting and clean... easy to get to with plenty of parking. They also have a drive through which is SO convenient! What a great little secret spot. We found our new go-to.

I was shocked by the price at first, $9 for cake Sunday and $8 for chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich, but after tasting the freshness of the cake on the Sundays and feeling the weight of the ice cream cookies, it was WELL worth the price!! I will. Is it the place every time I return to Pgh !!

Tried them out twice. Both times ordered milkshakes. More ice than ice cream. Not impressed. Not returning.

Wish I could tell you their ice cream is fabulous but I've made three attempts to try it and the shop was closed despite it being within business hours. Tonight was the worst: I pulled into the lot, headlights shining into the store and the kid flipped the open sign OFF even though the posted hours indicated they were open for another 45 minutes. I just moved to the area and am an avid ice cream fan so this is a huge disappointment. I guess I'll just continue making the drive up to Bruster's because I know the store will be open as posted.

I almost fell over when I ordered a homemade ice cream sandwich made with Nancy B's cookies and it was $6.15 but it was GINORMOUS!!! I had to take it home and cut it up to share. The picture doesn't do it justice but it is hugeeee. To give you an idea we cut it into fours and all had a decent size piece. Warning they do have an expansive selection with lots of hard ice cream flavors, many specialty sundaes and the normal standbys. It's hard to decide! I personally can't wait to go back and try some of the specialties!

Come get a cold sweet treat for dessert, or choose a baked sundae for a whole day's worth of calories. Their signature flavors tend to include some combination of chocolate-covered pretzels, a caramel stripe, and/or cookie dough or bits. They do sell 1 or 2 scoops in a cup or a cone, as well as classic frozen yogurt flavors, milkshakes, and ice cream sandwiches. Prices are reasonable but cash only; there is an ATM on the side of the building. A good amount of parking and tables with umbrellas up the hill. I'm looking forward to coming back but hope my menu options aren't too limited by the fact that I just want a little ice cream and not a tub.

Great place for ice cream! They are known for their wide variety of sundaes, which range from an elaborate spaghetti and meatball looking dish to classic favorites. I ordered 2 scoops of their homemade ice cream: Mint Avalanche and Munchies. Both flavors were packed with taste and the ice cream was creamy and smooth! The mint was my favorite with crushed oreo pieces and chocolate chips within the smooth mint ice cream. The Munchies flavor was also very good and had vanilla ice cream filled with all your favorite junk food candies: m&ms, chocolate chips, peanuts and caramel. The price came to about $5 for my dish, but it was certainly worth it and they gave you large scoops. Definitely a cute and delicious ice cream option to check out. They even have a drive-thru if you don't have time to eat there.

Was a little weary since I couldn't see the prices easily but at the end of the day they give great servings for the price and their product is good. The service was excellent. The person at the window patiently helped my kids with all their tastings. I loved that they had a little table area off to the side. It was all in all a fantastic trip there. Highly recommend and will be going again

In my opinion the best ice cream around. Huge servings and great prices. Very friendly staff. Great place. Highly recommend.
