    Pierogies and haloushki
    Steve A.

    I was visiting family in Pittsburgh and asked "Besides Primanti, what in town is actually eaten by locals? What is typical Pittsfood?" I was told, in no uncertain terms, pierogies, and that this was the place for those within walking distance. So, despite the Greek name, I can tell you that this place IS Polish. The owner/chef has populated the menu with options from both places, and after sampling, my determination is that you can't go wrong with Polish food. (Jury's out on the rest, until I return.) I went for one of each, with the following results: * Took a few minutes to prepare, but it was done fresh by the one person behind the counter. So that's understandable. She was friendly for when I was able to talk, but it was a little bit of a wait. Service = 4 stars. * Nondescript eating area. Only a couple of tables (and room for not much more), so I got my food to go. Ambiance = 2 stars (not that I ever rate on that, just letting you know). * Beverage choices are unfortunately American. They do include Pittsburgh's sweet tea, but you've gotta want that. At least they're cold and cheap. 3.5 stars. Now for the important parts that will determine my overall rating! 1. Pierogies I found superior to my local place in Morristown NJ. The outside was done crisper, the inside was filled thicker, much better value for more and better food. Downside: you only get potato/cheese, there is no other variety. 2. Haloushki: Not something I can get here, and I've heard is somehow Pittsburgh-specific. It shouldn't be. Some wide noodles that taste freshly made mixed with some healthy cabbage, but it doesn't taste like cabbage. With the right mix of salt/pepper/spice, it just... yum. Yum yum yum. 3. Golabki: Again, filled well (rice and meat) and doesn't taste that much like cabbage. A solid one, but this is more like the ones I could get here overall. So, how many stars shall I give? Nice service, tiny little local place, authentic food... but to be fair, since I did note a couple of drawbacks, I will hold this at 4. But it's a STRONG 4 and I absolutely want to come back here next time I visit!

    The atmosphere doesn't look like much but the gyro was pretty good (10/10). It was one of the best gyros I've ever had. The seasoning they put on it made it quite tasty. I liked that you could pick between three sizes! The large gyro was plenty for me. We also got onion rings (2/10) and I wouldn't recommend. They were quite greasy and for $5.99 you got 5...

    I recently had the Fried Oreo Sundae here. It has two fried Oreos, three scoops of your choice of ice cream (went with two scoops vanilla and one birthday cake), whipped cream, and a cherry on top for only $6. It was very delicious and enough for two people. Unfortunately, it was so hot that day that getting a picture of an ice cream sundae before it melted was impossible! They also have some old time candy. I got my kids two whistle lollipops since I hadn't seen those since my childhood. We ate the ice cream on a cute little bench outside.

    I stumbled into Knossos when I was trying to go to another gyro joint up the street. This place reminds me of the hometown restaurants I grew up going to in the late 80s and early 90s. The owner is incredibly friendly but most important, makes an amazing Gyro! With three sizes, you can't go wrong. I also love that they have a nice selection of penny candy available at the register. Highly recommended!

    Gyro fries. These were delicious! I highly recommend them!

    The owners are truly amazing! The food is excellent! I highly recommend this wonderful place!

    Large Gyro no tomatoes

    Paid $29 for a large gyro, veggie large gyro, 4 Pierogies and 4 fried Oreos, all of the food was very good. Food was fast and the owner was nice

    I was staying at a nearby hotel and my plans for the evening had fallen through. Myorder included a felafel salad for $12. The restaurant didn't bother to tell the driver I was at this hotel, which is easy to get to if you know the area, but confusing by GPS, so the driver was late. No utensils despite my stating I was in a hotel. The salad was truly awful: the equivalent of 1 felafel patty, burnt and dry, laid on top of soggy iceberg lettuce, with feta cheese and...French fries. Really? Do people who order salads typically want cold, soggy French fries plopped on top? Picture below.

    Great Greek salad.  Love it.

    Very disappointed. Delivery was late, our gyros were cold and fries were soggy. I wont be ordering from here again.

    First, this is delicious ice cream without the fact that they are dairy free. It was amazing. The…read moreflavors are fantastic and you would believe that it is a dairy explosion but you are wrong on the dairy part. We were down the street enjoying a great calzone and some beers and we kept seeing people walk by with ice cream. So when we left we found the place...we had no idea what we had found. Inside the two ladies were cheerful and greeted us with smiles. They gave us tastes of several different options and we each chose the one we wanted. Payment was easy and there were opportunities to stay inside if you preferred. The night we went it was a lovely and cool evening so we walked back to our apartment eating the most delicious dairy free ice cream I never knew existed.

    Very good local ice cream place. I actually didn't really that they were a local small business…read moreuntil just recently! Several great spots I know carry these ice cream sandwiches (Pittsburgh Taco Boys, Burghers in Millvale, among numerous others. I tried my first Leona's sandwich from the Millvale restaurant). Some supermarkets carry them too, I think. I had their lemon meringue ice cream sandwich. Man, it's really good. The sandwich part is sturdy and holds all the great ice cream together. The ice cream is fresh and flavorful, and quite sweet. I just really enjoyed it. Yes, decently pricey but high quality, so I think it's worth it.

Yes, it is the best soft-serve ice cream I have ever had. Drop the My wife and I decided to celebrate the final task in exiting an apartment and moving to The Flats. We were able to find parking and got into the line. Along the way we both chose what we wanted until we got to the window. The flavor we decided to get was a limited time one: cookie butter crunch. It was so good! Their menu is massive. You could visit every day in a three month window and never repeat the same order. Their soft-serve is exceptionally creamy. Their flavors are very real tasting. I am planning my next visit! Oh, and all the folks gathered around are kind, friendly, and you will make a new friend. Don't delay...they are not open year round.

The line is always long, like, literally always. It moves at an okay pace. Even wrapped the whole way around the building was only about a 20-25 min wait. Once they take your order you wait another 2-4 minutes, and then, consume. It was good enough that we came back two nights in a row. Absolutely worth getting ice cream here.
