I finally checked out this nearby spot and tried their Oreo Avalanche, which was surprisingly delicious with its vanilla custard and generous Oreo pieces. The friendly young staff made the experience even better, and I can't wait to go back and try more of their offerings, like their burgers and milkshakes. It's a local gem that's been around for 50 years, and the nostalgic 1950s vibe adds to the charm - definitely a must-visit for a satisfying treat!

This place changed hands. Happy for previous owner, he was waiting a long time. But..I've been coming to this business since 1996. We've had our ups and downs but you were always amazing... that is.... until...

I'm sad (glad?) to say the place sold. I'm glad the old owner got what he needed and Natrona Heights / Freeport get to have an ice-cream place, BUT

Sorry for the all-caps, but my "Bold" button ain't here.

Here's my problem with what's happened -- what's replaced Del's -- what's to be expected instead: while similar to old "Del's" unfortunately the vanilla custard JUST IS NOT THE SAME.

Della's 1990s/2000s custard: White. So much sugar you flew to the moon. Amazing vanilla flavor, probably from real beans.

What they have now: Yellow. Not as much sugar. Smaller portion. Vanilla extract. Yes, they've turned Del's Custard into Soft Serve. :(

The Del's custard I came to love and eat ABOVE ALL OTHERS and WOULD DRIVE AN HOUR TO EAT ON A REGULAR BASIS, the one that I recommend appear in the trendy 2018 'Scratch' Restaurant Celebration of Natrona Heights, the one that I brought all of my friends to, the one I used to gush about with the relatives in New York and Virginia, has been RUINED.

It's not the new menu or the clean "marketing", the fresh paint on the bench or the transparent, soulless windows and printed signs, it's that the damn custard ain't the same.

Also, WHERE ARE THE PARFAITS? I always ordered one. I liked the Kit Kat. They would give me CHOCOLATE AND CARAMEL. The man would basically fill half the cup with candy then drizzle chocolate on that candy then put custard on the top of that candy until it was as high as the large cone AND THEN DRIZZLE CHOCOLATE AND WHIPPED CREAM AND A CHERRY. (I always said, "No cherry, please", but the rest was smashing.)

I GOT A MEDIUM ("regular") IN A CUP. WHY IS THIS MEDIUM SO DAMN SMALL. IT LOOKS LIKE A SMALL.

Also, the new slogan "Della's: A Pittsburgh Tradition" is a stretch. Della's is FAR from Downtown Pittsburgh (a good 35 minutes). I lived in the city for 25 years until recently and no one has heard of Della's or Del's Custard. The only reason I knew about it is when I was younger I was introduced to it while working nearby in Sarver. We had to drag them out there. The fact that they were included in "Scratch Restaurant Tour" is precisely because I shared the story of Della's with the owner. And Scratch itself is not all that important (it's a new trendy restaurant in Troy Hill area.) Della's : A Pennsylvania Tradition would be less of a lie.
