“Grandpa Joe's Candy Shop is widely considered a must-visit in Pittsburgh for its blend of nostalgia and awesome novelty items. Whether you are looking for a rare childhood candy or a bottle of different flavored soda, it offers an amazing shopping experience for all ages. I highly recommend this place. They also have a candy buffet for $5 you can fill a small container of all sorts of candy! It's a must stop!”
“Love this place I have been going here over 10 years . They are the Best they have everything you need for decorating, and especially, they're chocolates for making more chocolate candy. I'm dipping chocolate. I go there every year for that, for the holidays. The staff is fantastic very friendly and personal and professional. Any questions they where they are very helpful, too.”
“A Pittsburgh treasure. We were helped by Cha and Mary. They were patient and very helpful. The shop is neat, clean and inviting. Our ice cream was delicious. We will be back!!”

“I have visited this location a few times now since moving here. Not only do I love that they have Dubai chocolate but I love that the store manager always remembers me and made me feel welcomed! Thank you for amazing service! My favorite location by far!”
“Great chocolate and an honorable owner and family who make you feel like one of them. It's the sort of place where you holiday shop for the grandkids or girlfriend. Love it”
“I respect the other reviewers taste, but as the son of a butcher, I can attest that the SHM pastrami sandwich was world class. Truly a squirrel hill treasure. It is meant to be shared, which explains the price, though I had a Burrito at Chipotle that cost more. Please try it so that we can preserve authentic, delectable, unparalleled deli without having to drive to Cleveland, Philly or NYC!”
“Always enjoyable coming to Dorothy’s. The chocolate is obviously the best around but the interactions with staff are an absolute pleasure. There’s one gentleman employee in particular that makes you feel like you’re an old friend stopping by. He is always chatting up customers and making everyone feel welcome. Go for the chocolate. Go back for the hospitality.”
“Betsy Ann Chocolates opened several decades ago. The employees hand-make dozens of flavors of chocolates and some candies such as gummies.During my visit to this store, an employee promptly and kindly served me. I purchased five packages of chocolates. I really enjoyed the flavors of the peanut-butter cup, various imperfect bloopers, cordial strawberry, and milk-chocolate bar. I, however, thought that the chocolate-covered mini pretzels tasted too buttery.”
“This place is so incredibly underrated. It's small but cute, lots of different kinds of sugary sweets though wish they had a little more chocolate. Still, I left with a couple dark chocolate bars, peach rings, aaaand rolling papers? How have I not been here sooner? Put up a bigger sign and consider hosting candy making classes. People would pay good money for that experience with a partner or friend! Hosting public classes/workshops would also spread word of the place. I'll be back!”
“Wow, stopped in waiting for my child at an activity and wow well maintained joyful place with chocolate and coffee, I got the chai tea latte and it’s perfect. Everything about this candy shop is adorable and so perfect thank you for existing and having the latest craze or freeze dried candy!! Made my entire day.”
“I bought some chocolate dipped pretzels that were amazing! Oreo, peanut butter, twix and I can't remember the last one but it was very good ... the chocolate was smooth.”
“Their homemade chocolate and fudge are so delicious. My husband always gets me their chocolates for my Birthday and Holidays. I always go in and get their delicious Fudge, they have so many great flavors.
They have such great Customer Service and the Owner is so nice
I highly recommend them.”
“Mom and daughter run the store,they are do lovely. They sell everything from molds and decor to plastic containers and pre made buttercream. If your a home baker or even a small business owner this is your store.”
“4.5 stars overall. A few years ago, St. Moritz Chocolatier merged with another business to become "Kelly's Sweets & Greets". Kelly's Sweets & Greets still uses the name "St. Moritz Chocolatier" on many of their packages of chocolates. The retail store is located on the second floor of the One Oxford Centre building in downtown Pittsburgh. Currently, its hours are Monday through Friday from the mid-morning to mid-evening. I had hoped to stop by the store on a Friday evening, but I was running late, so I instead placed an order through Kelly's website. On that same day, Kelly's mailed my package via UPS. On the next day, UPS delivered the package to me. The package contained the correct chocolates as well as two mini bags of jellybeans for free. My favorite chocolates were the chocolate-covered raisins (5 stars), which were a very large size and very flavorful. I also really liked the pecan turtles (4.5 stars), chocolate-covered pretzel twists (4.5 stars), and cordial cherries (4.5 stars). I thought that the buckeyes (4 stars) were good but could use a richer peanut butter.”
“I will 100% shop here again! My wife and I bought candy as a birthday gift to our daughter and the service was amazing. They were out of one of the candies my daughter loves and so they reached out and helped me pick another candy that she loved. No other candy place ive been to has this type of service. 5/5 stars for making my daughter birthday!”
“I will always recommend Rocket Fizz, best place to find candy that usually isn't very available anywhere else. Also every staff member there is extremely nice.”
