Hot Take Friday: Millie’s= #1 Ice Cream in PGH

Welcome back for our next version of "Hot Take Friday!" Just as summertime is starting to heat up in the city, we are coming in hot this week with our take on the best ice cream in Pittsburgh! Yea yea, I know we are usually talking about sports, movies, or tv shows, but we just can't ignore this because all of you are going to the wrong place for ice cream and we feel it is our social responsibility to help you all out.

With that being said, there are a lot of good ice cream places in the burgh, but MILLIE'S stands far and above all of the rest and you cannot prove me otherwise... Here us out on what makes Millie's Homemade Ice Cream the best.

The Waffle Cones

Listen, I spent four years in Oakland during my undergrad at Pitt and had a nice Dave and Andy's waffle cone, but those things do not even come close to the quality that Millie's has. I know some of you may take some offense to that with your loyal ties to Oakland, but sometimes a butterfly needs to spread his wings, and that is what I did.  If I worked downtown by Millie's I would be there every single day just ordering their waffle cone because they are that good! You are not living your best life until you have tried a Millie's waffle cone.. and I have not even mentioned the ice cream yet!

Ice Cream Flavor Variety

Every single time I have gone into Millie's they have had different seasonal flavors on their menu that are to die for. My personal favorite is the Chocolate Hazelnut ice cream; throw that flavor on to a waffle cone and you can thank me later as you will feel like you are in paradise. Even if none of the seasonal flavors are your cup of tea, they have great flavors such as the cookie dough that is always there to meet your ice cream craving. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

It's Not Page's Dairy Mart

Do not get me wrong, I like Page's, but the hype is WAY out of control. The line for Page's looks like the line for the bathroom at a Steelers game during halftime that will take you an hour just to get your ice cream. Yea, it's cheap. Yea, it's decent ice cream, but there is nothing special about it. Stop wasting your time waiting in this ridiculous line and get yourself down to Millie's! Stop by Page's and ask someone how long they have been waiting in line; this will be their response...

It's Not Milkshake Factory

Let me keep this short before I get on my soap box and rant for an hour.. If you want to go pay $7 for an AVERAGE milkshake... we have some beef with you.
