If you haven't been to Pages and you're from Pittsburgh, you're doing something wrong.
Heard you got to come to Pages.
Hey, Pittsburgh.
We're going around to some of your favorite ice cream shops here in the Burgh.
And today we're at Pages.
I'm here with Margie.
Now, if you could tell us you're taking over Pages.
And it's been decades since it started.
What is the significance of Pages mean to you in this new ownership?
So we've been here for 74 years.
Next year will be our 75th anniversary.
My great grandfather started in 1951, passed it to my grandfather, then passed it to my dad, and then my husband and I bought it in 2020.
You're technically your father's boss now, right?
Technically, yeah.
I've always been his boss in one way or another.
Have a good day.

I think I'm going to eat it all myself.
Thats fair.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Am I hired?
Yeah, but I'm not gonna pay you.
Okay.
That's okay.
I don't know if there's any place like us.
You know, where you can just come and, you know, you plan to wait in line its like going to get coffee.
You know, we're going to go wait in the Pages line.
I've been coming here probably ten years easy.
It's a Pittsburgh favorite.
It's so good.
When you get out here, you never know what you might want.
It's just exciting.
You know?
We've got so many different flavors.
Look at all the flavors they got.
