Pittsburgh is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Pittsburgh is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Pennsylvania's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Great gelato at a reasonable price! Definitely worth a visit!

Kimberly Lawrence a year ago

This place has the best cookies, gelato, and ice cream ever! My husband and I are from out of state and every time we visit Pittsburgh, Sam’s is the first place we go in the strip. The gentleman that runs it is named Dave and he’s so kind and friendly. Thank you Dave for the wonderful service and sweet treats! We will always return and are customers for life.

Great, fast service and not overly expensive! It was some of the best ice cream we have ever had and the cookies were fresh!

Sam’s in the Strip is a must stop for a delicious ice cream cone, milkshake, which you can add a cookie to, if you’d like to treat yourself all the way, or a healthier choice of many smoothies to choose from. Dave, the owner, is one of the good guys, who’s always friendly and working his hardest to provide you with a source to satisfy your craving of a well earned treat, while experiencing one of the best areas in Pittsburgh.

We went all the way to try their famous ice cream. Good thing we’re able to grab some before their closing hours. The guy is friendly and nice. Their ice cream is so creamy and taste really good.
