If you’ve ever scrolled your FYP at 1 a.m. drooling over Dubai chocolate, matcha lattes, or chaotic-looking korn dogs and thought, “Why doesn’t Pittsburgh have this stuff?” — surprise: it does. You just have to know where to look.

After some serious sleuthing (and snacking), I’ve rounded up the viral treats that have made their way to the 412. Whether you’re chasing a crunchy bite or a bougie dessert, here’s where to finally live your snack‑core dreams IRL.

Pickle Pizza at Spak Brothers (Garfield)

Spotted all over TikTok and now right here in Garfield — pickle pizza is a thing, and it’s giving bold, briny, and surprisingly addicting. Spak Brothers nails it with a garlic white base and thick-cut pickles that slap harder than they should. Add a root beer and call it a day.


Dubai Chocolate Bars at Kelly’s Sweets & Greets (Downtown Pittsburgh)

If your FYP has been feeding you clips of glossy, gold-wrapped chocolate bars with pistachio, caramel, and crunchy layers… welcome to Kelly’s Sweets & Greets in downtown Pittsburgh. The Dubai bars are luxe, over‑the‑top, and exactly what candy should be in 2025.


Strawberry Dubai Chocolate Cup at Treats & Beans (Carnegie)

This one? Peak dessert energy. Think fresh strawberries coated in warm, rich Dubai chocolate, all layered in a cup that was made to be on your story. Find it at Treats & Beans in Carnegie and prepare for chocolate euphoria.


Korean Korn Dog with Potato from The Book Seek Food Truck

You’ve seen them. The stretchy cheese pulls, the sugar‑dusted crunch, the potato cubes. The Book Seek food truckbrings the viral Korean korn dog trend to Pittsburgh, and yes—it lives up. Stalk their Insta for locations because they move like your ex: mysterious and hard to pin down.


Strawberry Matcha Latte at Mediterra Café (Multiple Locations)

Layered. Icy. Sweet‑meets‑earthy. If you’re into the clean‑girl aesthetic (or just want a matcha that doesn’t taste like lawn), theStrawberry Matcha Latte at Mediterra Café is your move. Multiple locations, same green goodness.


The Swedish Candy Dilemma

Still no sign of Bubs in the wild (if you know, you know—the elite Swedish gummy with that perfect chew and tang). But until someone stocks them locally, at least Five Below has our backs with Squashies and Peelerz. Not a full fix, but definitely scratches the gummy itch.
