1. Ross Park Mall

1000 Ross Park Mall Dr.
Pittsburgh, PA 15237

412-369-4401

Mon-Sat 10am-9pm
Sun 11am-6pm

Touted as the best mall in Pittsburgh, Ross Park Mall has everything you want all in one place.

This is the best Mall in the city and is getting better since new brands have opened or will open soon...

In an era when traditional malls are closing daily, this place has defied the odds.

Perhaps it’s the eclectic mix of high end boutiques like Louis Vuitton and middle of the road staples like Nordstrom.

Whatever it is, the people of Pittsburgh are still coming out in droves to these brick and mortar shops, and with 169 stores to choose from, it’s hard to walk away empty handed.

...It's clean, clear, not too big and not too small. Perfect for the winter time since it's indoor. - Yelp Review

2. Strip District Shopping Area

Pittsburgh, PA 15222

When people visit Pittsburgh, they want to see the bridges, ride the incline and shop in the historic Strip District.

What a great place to visit! Food, shopping, bars and tons of cool things to see...

With a mix of produce, ethnic grocery stores, bars, and street food, you can easily spend the whole day here.

Littered across the shopping district are also local vendors selling their Pittsburgh-centric wares to passersbys on the street. It’s an exciting place to be, especially on market day, which is Saturday. Bring your appetite!

...I think everybody that comes to Pittsburgh should spend some time at this part touristy, part real Pittsburghery part of town. - Yelp Review

3. Juju

6739 Reynolds St.
Pittsburgh, PA 15206

814-460-1538

Tues-Sat 11am-7pm
Sun 11am-3pm

Juju is an eclectic store that caters to the woman who’s into vintage fashion, but also interested in her astrological reading for the day.

This place is fabulous! Fabulous clothing, jewelry, bath products and owner! I just can't say enough good things about this place...

When you mix the two together and add a bit of metaphysical “Sunday school” classes, you have a Pointe Breeze shop that that’s ready to cater to the bohemian side of you.

Not just a clothing shop, the owner also specializes in unique gifts and big hugs. What’s not to like?

...I love vintage clothing, and you can head somewhere to find a mess of clothes just piled high or a well curated shop like this. You can absolutely tell the owner takes time to gather items that fit her aesthetic, but also are lovely items. - Yelp Review

4. Pennsylvania Macaroni Co.

‍

2010-2012 Penn Ave.
Pittsburgh, PA 15222

412-227-1982

Mon-Sat 6:30am-4:30pm
Sun 9am-2:30pm

While technically a part of the Strip District experience, this shop gets a special mention because of the shear Pittsburghness of it.

“Awesome selection of goods! Amazing cheese and meats selection! The Italian goods and ingredients available are really great!...” - Yelp Review

Where else will you wait in line for an amazing collection of European cheeses, have such a selection of dried pasta, or actually enjoy the hustle and bustle of waiting for deli meat?

That’s market day at  the PennMac, and this place does everything old school, as it should, since it dates back to 1902. Definitely check this out whether you have guests in town or just a free Saturday morning.

5. Eons Fashion Antique

5850 Ellsworth Ave.
Pittsburgh, PA 15232

412-361-3368

Mon-Fri 12pm-5pm
Sat 11am-5pm
Sun 12pm-5pm

Eons is one of the best vintage shops in Pittsburgh, especially if you’re looking for that one piece of clothing that will add that bit of extra to your wardrobe.

This is the place to go for all of your vintage needs. Richard has such a big selection you'd be hard pressed to walk out of the store empty handed...

You can be sure every piece is expertly chosen, so if you’re in search of a particular decade, simply walk inside and ask for directions. Even celebrities who come to Pittsburgh end up here, drawn by the extensive and wide-ranging collection.

...All items are in pristine, brand new condition. You can see what pride Richard takes in his business as soon as you walk in the door. An iconic Pittsburgh establishment. Perfection from top to bottom. - Yelp Review

6. Pittsburgh Center for the Arts

Pittsburgh, PA 15232

412-361-0873

Tues-Thurs 10am-7pm
Fri-Sat 10am-5pm
Sun 12pm-5pm

The Center for the Arts gives local artists a venue to showcase their wares, and hopefully make a couple of sales as well.

What makes the Center for the Arts a hit for me is their gift shop...

With over 200 artists who specialize in everything from photography to ceramics to metals, you’re sure to find a unique gift for someone special.

Not just a store, the Center offers classes to public as well, so you can drop in and learn from their resident artists.

...What sets this gift shop from other museum gift shops in the area is their wide selection of work by many local artists and artisans, including watercolor prints, photographs, jewelry, clothing and knitted items, ceramic and hand-blown glass items.  The list goes on and on.” - Yelp Review

7. South Hills Village

301 S. Hills Village
Bethel Park, PA 15241

412-831-8652

Mon-Sat 10am-9pm
Sun 11am-6pm

This shopping center has survived when other malls have failed, and continues to grow and thrive.

This mall is very modern, clean and well-maintained.  There's a nice selection of stores, none of which are boarded up...

It’s probably due to the large, but not overwhelming, selection of stores.

It’s bright and roomy, and on any given day, you might find local “mall walkers” getting their steps in for the day.

In addition to the shopping, the food court is also a must visit when you need to wind down after a long day of shopping.

“...You have your anchor stores like Sears and Macy's, as well as a bunch of popular stores like Lush, B&BW, Victoria's Secret, etc. I also enjoy the Oil&Vinegar store because it's different and neat. They have a very nice food court area with a variety of food & dessert items, and plentiful comfortable seating.” - Yelp Review

Sat-Sun 11am-4pm

This cute store in the heart of Dormont is one of the best reasons to shop local.

Such a cute boutique!...

Specializing in hand picked women’s clothing, their selection is always on point but not too overtly trendy.

Vintage Grace shares their space with a nail salon in the back, so after picking up some new threads, you can treat yourself to a manicure, all in one spot!

...Very cool European/ LA style on their racks, and they sell handmade jewelry and a few select shoes as well. Their prices are very very reasonable too considering how unique their selects are compared to most local boutiques.” - Yelp Review
